HDMI Port?

Earl1

[{"insert":"Hello a couple thing I want on the 6400 black box version before I purchase one. \n1) Where is the HDMI port? Is this an available option and why would they have one on the \"M\" version? I would like a giant LED TV screen in the shack.\n2) Can this radio do synchronous diversity reception including a differential waterfall? What I mean is the IC7610 I had could do diversity audio only. Having the waterfall represent 2 antenna inputs would be way cool. Right?\n\nThanks much..\nFuture Flex Owner\n\n\n\n"}]

The “M” models have HDMI ports because each has an onboard screen to mirror. As the non-“M” models do not have onboard screens, there is nothing in the radio to mirror with an HDMI cable.

The "M" models all have an HDMI port. It's the ICOMs with SDR that have the DVI.

It may have an extremely powerful processor but is not a computer by conventional standards - it is a data server to outboard clients. In this way there are no graphics to display. All graphics are in the client which uses the server's data at the operators request. I put my 55" on my win 7 machine with SmartSDR running. Very public attractive and useful station manager tool with 8 bands displayed at Field Day (6700). 7 bands on a pixel loop (RX2 In), 6M on Ant1 and 2M on the transverter (70W amp)

[{"insert":"Question: the 6400M has a HDMI out.\nCan I have this option on the 6400. I would like a portable maestro.\nOr are you saying the 6400M uses the HDMI out to run the front maestro display?\nI guess I need to contact the actual engineers.\nThanks again..\n\n\n"}]

[{"insert":"Then why does the 6400M have one?\n\n"}]

[{"insert":"Ok, so if I understand correctly the 6400M has a hardwired display with obviously no wifi or portable use.\nGot it.\nThanks.\nToo bad they stick a graphics board in the 6400 maybe I can order it special..\n"}]

[{"insert":"Yep fully understand that. The box will sit in the rack in my shop\/shack.\nI would love a giant LED monitor on the wall also.\n\n"}]

Hi Earl, I have a lagre(ish) monitor. I just plug the HDMI into the laptop I normally use with the radio. So if you have an M model or a Maestro, the HDMI port is supplied by Flex. If you have a plain model and no Maestro, the HDMI port is supplied by your computer. Either way, a large monitor is in your future!

73,

[{"insert":"Ahh, but I want to use a portable Maestro not a computer.\nThanks\n\n"}]

Oh, I just realized that the Maestro does not have HDMI, just the model M.
