HDMI for data
Posted: Fri 13 Mar 2015, 22:58
Just a short note.
I was on a Cambridge Uni chat session last night (aussie time) and it was mentioned in passing that a group of their coders are working at using the HDMI interface for data transfer.
Roughly it would mean that you could use your HDMI to move data around securely or between computers / networks etc. and fast, since HDMI throughput can currently run up to 14.4 gigabits per cable and individually 6gigabits per channel, that could be interesting, especially for those that run torrent servers.

EDit2: and 14.4gigabits is with overheads on, it's 18gigabit without.
