Does a Thinvent Mini PC Have an HDMI Input?
No. The Thinvent Aero Mini PC has HDMI output ports, not an HDMI input. It sends its display signal to a monitor or TV. It cannot receive a video signal from another device, such as a camera, game console or laptop, and show it on screen. Buyers who need to capture or display an HDMI source on a PC need a separate video capture card or an HDMI capture device connected through USB.
