Impedance alteration translates to a road bump. So not only length matters.

It will deliver the trashed signal with less degredation than a bad cable will.

Read up on entropy.

That would block the use of DVI-only monitors. HDMI-to-DVI adapters are non-standard.
Another quick solution is to solder leads to the connector pads rather than to mount a connector to the PCB.

Could one leave pads to solder a HDMI encoder & connector. To eliminate the license issue?

It's cheaper licensing with logo.

Anyway, is licensing for putting the connector on the PCB. Or is it enough with a HDMI encoder chip to be liable to the license ?

Can you just put the encoder chip and pads but no connector on the board?

Also, did you find the exact licensing conditions, ie when you'r liable to license. (ie "protection money" :P )

Digital signals just have a higher tolerance. No need to decrease the S/N margin.

If you lock it down good someone else will make something better ;)

It should be possible to do some other implementations like Atari-ST/Falcon, Macintosh, 80386+VGA+SB, DEC Alpha, PDP-16, SGI, CDTV, SNES, Sega 16, etc..

@AJCopland, I think mikej is fully busy with work + the base board.
