[Elecraft] Clickable P3 Desktop Window

[Ed G]

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:

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.
