Hello, To follow up on a recent posting asking about the P3 video display as a dedicated display within Windows, I have been testing one solution which gives me a scalable, moveable P3 display. It is necessary to have the SVGA P3 option installed. I use a small VGA to HDMI converter which then connects to an HDMI video capture card. 1. VGA to HDMI converter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078NVJVVB?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details 2. HDMI to USB video capture card https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088HBRM7T?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details The video capture card was suggested by Max NG7M on the K4 users group as a way to display the K4 spectrum within Windows, and it works well in this K3/P3 application. The USB video from the capture card can be used as an input to the Windows Camera app; the app also allows you to take snapshots or record video of the P3 video display. So now if I run the K3 remotely, and use one of the various remote desktop-type programs to connect to the host computer, I can see the P3 display on the remote’s screen display. A photo of the P3 display using the Windows camera app is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mv4AuX5PVo3cGWz8cZY6KmlmyOct5wTn/view?usp=sharing For those using WIN4K3, another useful option is to run the USB P3 video to the P3 window within WIN4K3. Selecting a marker allows you to click on the spectrum display to tune the K3. This pic shows what that looks like. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wZ5DTlYBON-ZoZfHj8VWp9K-kdJPyHX-/view?usp=sharing Ed, N3CW
