=== What problem fit-Headless and fit-Headless 4K operation solves? ===fit-headless and fit-headless 4K used to connect to '''On Mac Mini Server''': Screen sharing on a remote machine running headless (with Mac Mini Server that has no display attached(headless)is low-resolution and slow. If you're running your ''On a headless PC''': One of the key requirements in using a PC or Mac without a display, this attached (headless PC) is exactly remote desktop access, but in many cases configuring the dongle needed headless PC to support high resolution remote desktop proves to be so challenging that sometimes users connect a display to control the system from PC just to be able to have remote locationdesktop access!'''How fit-Headless solves the problem?''': fit-Headless is a small, low-cost HDMI plug that emulates a high resolution display. Once plugged, the Mac Mini / PC detects a connected display and enables the GPU. With the GPU enabled, screen-sharing / remote desktop access can work in high resolution.=== Does fit-Headless help in running a headless Intel NUC? ===Yes. See for example [http://www.vfrank.org/2015/04/28/running-the-intel-nuc-headless-with-vmware-esxi/ http://www.vfrank.org/2015/04/28/running-the-intel-nuc-headless-with-vmware-esxi/]<br>fit-Headless solves a problem known as "AMT/vPro blank screen", see [http://www.tekhead.org/blog/2015/05/ http://www.tekhead. org/blog/2015/05/]

In most cases fit-Headless 4K will support up to 30 different resolutions:<br>https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/display-menu/id549083868?mt=12 Please also see the explanations and notes on fit-pc website:<br>http://www.fit-pc.com/web/fit-headless-4k-overview/ Google+ page that shows the resolutions related to OSX operation:<br>https://plus.google.com/+Fitpc-by-compulab/posts/cw5KR7CbTYU === SwitchResX ===SwitchResX is a tool for Apple computers) found to be compatible take control of any screen connected to the Mac.

Workaround reported by our customers - AMD seems to have a 165MHz pixel clock limit when using an HDMI connection, which is exceeded when using resolutions & refresh rates higher than 1080p@60hz. Using a third-party utility ToastyX Custom Resolution Utility, import a custom EDID extension block for HDMI audio support, and remove all custom fit-headless GS resolutions from the EDID string that were higher than 1080p@60Hz. After reboot HDMI audio on the fit-headless GS should be present. Alternatively, one might be able to use the higher resolutions & refresh rates by patching the AMD Radeon driver to bypass the 165Mhz clock limit, although this can break HDCP functionality. * [http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU Custom Resolution Utility]* [http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher] [[category:FAQ]][[category:fit-Headless]]
