As someone who uses Windows Remote Desktop *every day* for work, I must say I'm extremely impressed with that Streaming Cable. Playing full-screen video like that with zero lag is extremely difficult, yet it did it with no problems at all. Well done!
Excellent! The case is very well designed. I have had one for few months now, no problems found. I also installed a M.2 SSD. No problems with temperatures. I enjoyed the Ethernet/USB demo. When I get one I'm sure I will be connecting it to my Mac. Thanks again for your Sunday morning show and tell video.
Great, I'm sure you will get more. I'm designing a 3D printed VESA bracket to connect up to the Alphas mounting holes, not sure if it's a good place to mount the Alpha. It's now used as a desktop computer in the family room . I guess I've given up using it on any of my robotics projects. Its to valuable to be put in harm's way.
Sometimes it's better to have two small parts that fit well in two pockets than to have one large one that doesn't fit well in either. You can keep the computer in your pocket and just have the display in your hand, there's that.
Impressive accessories and features! These are the fine details that will likely make devices like this attractive to a large segment of the tech market.
Beautifully engineered accessories. I especially liked the streaming cable.thanks as always Chris! BTW, for some reason I always laugh out loud whenever you say “Dearie me” :)
I enjoy your videos a lot. You're very knowledgeable and able to share some of that knowledge in a way that average people can understand. I do have one feedback though. There's been a bit too much "there we are" in recent videos.

Hi Chris, thanks for another awesome video and update on the LAttePanda, still cant get over the quirky name.. They have come a long way and its kinda refreshing to see them competing with other SBCs. I loved the Titan case too, although TBH in most of the usecase scenarios it is going to be buried deep inside other stuff, still good to be protected with a case though.. The USB streaming cable is kinda interesting for me. IF it can be connected to USB3 extension cables, it COULD be used in projector systems with other PC based solutions. The LattePanda itself is so small and inconspicuous that we might as well keep them together negating the need for a streaming cable and instead use the onboard HDMI. I dont know the latency between HDMI and the streaming cable, nor do I think it would matter in such a solution, clearly this is NOT meant for gaming lol. Really starting to like this SBC though, it has much potential. Thank you again kind Sir and cheers :-)
Yes, here is another powerful piece of tech art in a hands of master Yoda of ExplainingComputers. 🤩 Hello Chris. Streaming cable + RNDIS = wacky ideas teeming in my head ... 🤔 Wacky looking case reminds me of gtx case. And eDP is great. Sundays with EC. Beautiful.

Thanks David. I find the streaming cable particularly interesting because it is not just a LattePanda Alpha accessory. It can apparently even be used with a Raspberry Pi. I must try that! :)
@@ExplainingComputers Do you know if you can game with it? Let's say I had my main rig hooked up to a Windows 7 PC via the streaming cable could I run a game through it over windows 10?
@@ExplainingComputers Did it work with the Raspberry Pi? Is it worth it or not? I'm thinking about purchasing one. It would be awesome if you were to make a video fully dedicated to the Streaming Cable and how it can be used. Thanks in advance.
Good video as usual, looks to me like your Ubuntu system is running in Italian as the clock at the top of the screen seems to say lun (which I assume should have said mon for Monday)
It depends what they are used for. It could be running lots of displays (most cards these days can run 3, but you may want more!). In other scenarios, two cards can run together to provide better graphics and faster/better gaming (or 3D modelling). Graphics cards are these days also used for other things, such as running AI neural nets, or mining Bitcoins of other cryptocurrencies. So it is possible that multiple graphics cards may be fitted for that purpose.
That's right, I remember now, thanks. I wasn't into the infrastructure side of things but remember we used Novell networking, but that won't have been what you're talking about as that was a full network.
We used to use a crossover cable, a simple network cable but with the pin out of one RJ45 reversed. It was like a network but didn't give you the same result as the streaming cable in this video.
I think this Panda has a power lead which would enable you to install it in a car. Add the screen and the streaming cable and voila! A dumb car made smart, or a smart car made smarter? I like it. For a bit under $500US, one of the pre-made apps and some programming skills, you could do all kinds of things your car couldn't do before. I could save up for this, might have what I need by spring 2020. Thanks for another great video Chris.
I notice that at the top on your Ubuntu screen it says "lun 22:58" which I imagine means Monday (Lunedì). Could it be that your Ubuntu was in Italian at some point?
Chris would you do a vid on WiFi antenna aiming. WiFi rooters (sic) :) have lots of different antenna configurations and it would be interesting to know what the propagation patterns are for them so that the antennae many be positioned best. I understand how two vertical antennae that are spaced 1/4 wavelengths apart, like the truckers do with CB radios, will beam the power mostly to the front and back of the truck. With my rooter that has two uprights I would like to reflect that back beam to strengthen the front beam - so should I place an alum foil plate 1/4 of a wave length behind the pair of uprights to reflect half of the power forward? Or would that additional signal be out of phase with the other beam and just cancel it? As you know there are lots of other questions that some of us might need answered and a vid on antenna theory and other stuff that your fertile mind will surely come up with would be much appreciated. Thanks for all of your vids and thanks for your fertile mind, as well. Walt
And there is a new one uploading on September 1st. One of my favorite videos I've made this year -- I just finished it today! :) The Jetson Nano is such an impressive board.

Hi Christopher. Very nice hardware. I could use such a streaming cable. I wonder if the slave needs a monitor for it to work. The case is awesome too. It's great to be able to take it with you everywhere. That's a thing I miss with the RockPi4B, NanoPi M4, Atomic Pi or the Odroid N2. The big heatsinks make them very bulky and a bit unhandy to carry along. But the Khadas VIM3 made it up again with its small form factor and case. I've made an Armbian image (kernel 5.4) for the RockPi4B with Panfrost. Only OpenGL2.0 works for now. The only game that runs well is SuperTuxKart. But it is nice to see graphics drivers for the RK3399's. Now it is waiting for OpenGL3.x to be implemented and they'll be amazing gaming machines in Linux. The future looks bright for ARM SBC's. All the mainline support will make a big change. Greetings.

I really like watching your videos, very nicely done! Being a noob to SBC, is there an application for SBC for packet delivery to a gaming rig? Something to boost frame rate? Or a SBC to clean out unnecessary packets or items? Something external perhaps?
A great review and demonstrations ! How did you find the case as regards heat ? With another SBC that you reviewed a few weeks ago, a tight-fitting case caused significant heat problems. This SBC also looked to have a fairly tight-fitting case - any comments about how it coped with heat ? Thanks
The case is indeed a very close fit, but the LattePanda Alpha has a top fan that exhausts out of the circular vent on the top of the case. So I've not had any temperature issues (and the case only gets a little warm).
I can only suggest the DFRobot website: www.dfrobot.com/product-1851.html?search=streaming%20cable They may be here in the comments soon with broader info. :)
You said "to turn the LattePanda Alpha into a sort of real virtual machine" at 01:35 and it sounds weird to me. In fact, what is virtual is the Ethernet link (as you use USB, not Ethernet, but Ethernet is emulated through USB). However, all the machines are real, the remote one and the one in front of you. I think we should keep the term "virtual machine" for machines that are physically absent. I say that because I was confused at the beginning of the video, I was not able to understand at first glance, then when you have shown the demo it was clear. By the way, it is a very good video as always, EC is one of the best RUclips channels.
I'm interested in the processors and memory being used... If I have these two rigs as you did in the video and I edit a video (or some other resource gobbling task) on the Panda via the network connection how much processor power and RAM will be used by the Panda? Would the Ubuntu rig process and RAM be greatly utilized? Not sure exactly why but could I have two or perhaps three Pandas networked to a workstation? Very interesting video but it leaves me pondering ... Thank you so much for this great video. I look forward to next week. Cheers,
If you access the Panda from another machine, and the video editing/etc is run on the Panda, then it is the Panda's resources (RAM, processing power, etc) that are being used. The remote connection is just allowing you to control the Panda from another computer, and sending its screen image back to the control machine. So the accessing machine (here the Ubuntu one) will use very few resources.
nick, yes, how do you want to define "copy" as in mount a remote drive on a share drive letter, or mount the remote drive as a `virtual` as far as windows is concerned real local drive, that happens to be on another device on the LAN aka "iscsi" and so access it slightly faster than a zed (not zee) drive see Configure iSCSI Taregt(targetcli) www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Debian_9&p=iscsi&f=1 and Configure iSCSI Initiator(Windows) www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Debian_9&p=iscsi&f=4
Back in the day, there was LapLink which cable connected two PCs. It was serial/parallel and wasn't quick but was effective. Can the Streaming Cable be used to connect two Windows 10 computers, neither of which is a LattePanda?
RealVNC is remote access software (like the NoMachine software I used here). The streaming cable is a piece of hardware that establishes a very fast network connection (five times regular 1 gigabit Ethernet speeds) that can then be used for remote access using whatever software you like. :)
Great video 👍🏼 can the streaming cable be used to connect via an IPad Pro with a USB Hub? If yes, may I know how that can be done? I use my iPad Pro as a main “computer” but sometimes need access to windows applications. Thinking of getting a LattePanda if I can connect it to my iPad Pro.
I think the LattePanda and case are a nice set, but I am having a hard time finding a use case for them that is better than a mini-ITX desktop or a laptop for the money
This still begs the question - why buy a Latte Panda 864s when you can get an Intel NUC i5 with a case and power (and sometimes a disk) for the same price? I can understand the draw from a Maker standpoint, but the pricing of the 864s at $409 with no peripherals makes one cringe.
I'm looking for such a cable for a long time. Although I thought you would only need a special RNDIS driver to activate it over any USB 3 cable. I guess I was wrong. RNDIS is such an underused protocol! Thanks! Are there any alternatives on the market!
As someone who uses Windows Remote Desktop *every day* for work, I must say I'm extremely impressed with that Streaming Cable. Playing full-screen video like that with zero lag is extremely difficult, yet it did it with no problems at all. Well done!
yeah, I ran to to googler to find one of those for sale somewhere real quick

Oh man, your videos are the best content for hangovers. So interesting and relaxing. I forgot I had a headache.
Now, _why on earth_ would they NOT have sent you a case that combines the screen and the panda into a single device?!
Because they did not make one yet. We are still waiting for it.
@@eldaria How hard is it? 20 minutes in Tinkercad will get you a box with a kickstand. Wrap it in black paper and call it a prototype.
I think they're promoting the spirit of DIY
Sometimes it's better to have two small parts that fit well in two pockets than to have one large one that doesn't fit well in either. You can keep the computer in your pocket and just have the display in your hand, there's that.

@@ExplainingComputers Thanks for that very useful confirmation !
Never heard of nomachine. I'll read more. ty
Where can one purchase the streaming cable in Canada?
I can only suggest the DFRobot website: www.dfrobot.com/product-1851.html?search=streaming%20cable They may be here in the comments soon with broader info. :)
You said "to turn the LattePanda Alpha into a sort of real virtual machine" at 01:35 and it sounds weird to me. In fact, what is virtual is the Ethernet link (as you use USB, not Ethernet, but Ethernet is emulated through USB). However, all the machines are real, the remote one and the one in front of you. I think we should keep the term "virtual machine" for machines that are physically absent. I say that because I was confused at the beginning of the video, I was not able to understand at first glance, then when you have shown the demo it was clear. By the way, it is a very good video as always, EC is one of the best RUclips channels.
Great looking case :D
I'm interested in the processors and memory being used...
If I have these two rigs as you did in the video and I edit a video (or some other resource gobbling task) on the Panda via the network connection how much processor power and RAM will be used by the Panda? Would the Ubuntu rig process and RAM be greatly utilized?
Not sure exactly why but could I have two or perhaps three Pandas networked to a workstation?
Very interesting video but it leaves me pondering ... Thank you so much for this great video. I look forward to next week.
Cheers,
If you access the Panda from another machine, and the video editing/etc is run on the Panda, then it is the Panda's resources (RAM, processing power, etc) that are being used. The remote connection is just allowing you to control the Panda from another computer, and sending its screen image back to the control machine. So the accessing machine (here the Ubuntu one) will use very few resources.
could you please mesure how thick the belzs are on the screen?
Hi Chris. Would that streaming cable be able to copy a HDD (or SSD) from one Win machine to another? Luv the vids mate!
nick, yes, how do you want to define "copy" as in mount a remote drive on a share drive letter, or mount the remote drive as a `virtual` as far as windows is concerned real local drive, that happens to be on another device on the LAN aka "iscsi" and so access it slightly faster than a zed (not zee) drive see

Sir please make a review on the onion omega 2 pro development board. Very needed indeed, and please compare it with the current SBC's.
Do you think the streaming cable works with the iPad Pro? It would be really cool. Please try it out if you have an iPad Pro.
The screen looked to have a bit of a blue tint to it. Was that just how the camera recorded it or did it look like that to you as well?
Certainly the camera. I was caught on what to color correct -- the flesh tones of my finger, or the screen! :)
Back in the day, there was LapLink which cable connected two PCs. It was serial/parallel and wasn't quick but was effective. Can the Streaming Cable be used to connect two Windows 10 computers, neither of which is a LattePanda?
Yes, the streaming cable can be used to connect and any two computers with USB 3.0 ports (a LattePanda Alpha does not need to be involved).
Damn, that packing is pretty damn awesome.
Chris, what's the difference between the streaming cable and say RealVNC?
RealVNC is remote access software (like the NoMachine software I used here). The streaming cable is a piece of hardware that establishes a very fast network connection (five times regular 1 gigabit Ethernet speeds) that can then be used for remote access using whatever software you like. :)
@@ExplainingComputers ok thanks...
Great video 👍🏼 can the streaming cable be used to connect via an IPad Pro with a USB Hub? If yes, may I know how that can be done? I use my iPad Pro as a main “computer” but sometimes need access to windows applications. Thinking of getting a LattePanda if I can connect it to my iPad Pro.
You would need appropriate software for the iPad.
@@ExplainingComputers I contacted LattePanda support team about this. Looks like it wont work on the iPads (which is a shame).
I think the LattePanda and case are a nice set, but I am having a hard time finding a use case for them that is better than a mini-ITX desktop or a laptop for the money
This still begs the question - why buy a Latte Panda 864s when you can get an Intel NUC i5 with a case and power (and sometimes a disk) for the same price? I can understand the draw from a Maker standpoint, but the pricing of the 864s at $409 with no peripherals makes one cringe.
I guess is cause the power consumption relate...you know kind of too much power for too little electric bill...
@@arieloq The Alpha 864s and the NUC7i5 use about the same power - 18W - 45W.
Is there any info when the lattepanda alpha will have ready stock?
I am not sure. I know they have changed/upgraded the processor due to Intel CPU shortages.
They just got their first batch of the new CPU style in, so I would assume in a couple weeks.
@@ExplainingComputers its time they switched to an amd ryzen with AVX2 SimD ON EVERY soc
Could be possible use the steaming cable between raspberry 4 and a PC?
Yes, I understand that this is possible. There is a version of nomachine for the Pi. :)
I'm thinking this would make an awesome head unit. Would be some work (fun & frustration) to get it all working.
I saw you in the Magpi magazine
Excellent! :)
Can you also do a video on visual basic 6.0
I'm looking for such a cable for a long time. Although I thought you would only need a special RNDIS driver to activate it over any USB 3 cable. I guess I was wrong.
RNDIS is such an underused protocol! Thanks! Are there any alternatives on the market!
Thank you for the nice video.
