Can I use the HDMI port on my ZUMspot elite 3.5?

Post by w1av »

Why are there 2 (mini) HDMI ports on my Zumspot Elite 3.5? I am not sure how an HDMI mini works because I have never seen a cable with the regular size HDMI connector and a mini connector. So why is there 2 of these ports? If you connect one to a monitor does it simply mirror whats on the actual hotspot screen?

Google raspberry pi SBC. Most every hotspot is based on a pi of some sorts.

That said ... there is no graphical user interface loaded onto the pistar image. The OS needs to support a gui in order to output to a connected screen. pistar was built to run headless, meaning it doesn't make use the HDMI port of the rasp pi.
