Record the whole display target

Resolution alone is not a complete target.

The useful distinction

Use the exact model, port label and documentation section; this is a planning method rather than an automatic identification.

The useful distinction

Understand the requirement.

A boundary, not an omission to guess around.

Active-picture data is a transparent calculation, not a complete link budget. The video worksheet labels omitted timing and transport details rather than filling them with a universal overhead assumption.

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Record active resolution and refresh rate.
  2. Record component depth and sampling where relevant.
  3. State HDR, VRR, compression and simultaneous display needs.
  4. Check the source, conversion path and sink against the same target.

Resolve conflicts explicitly

When the desired target changes, earlier capability declarations need rechecking. The planner clears them on material edits so a previous yes cannot silently apply to a more demanding task.
