## Overview

fit-Headless (Classic) is a compact HDMI display emulator that enables high-definition remote desktop access by tricking your headless PC into detecting a connected monitor. Supporting up to 1080p resolution, it requires no software installation or external power, making it the perfect plug-and-play solution for Mac Mini, CompuLab fit-PC, Intense PC, and any HDMI-capable computer. Ideal for professionals seeking seamless remote workflows and error-free streaming or gaming on headless systems.

## Description

Operating a headless PC requires remote desktop access, but in many cases compositing the desktop in high resolution is possible only when the computer detects a connected display. fit-Headless is a miniature HDMI plug that emulates a high-definition display connected to the PC. The headless PC identifies fit-Headless as a connected display and enables the GPU thus allowing remote desktop compositing at high resolution. fit-Headless works with any HDMI capable PC on any operating system and requires no software installation nor configuration. fit-Headless does not require external power.

Review: works well - good value for money too - simple, well built & sturdy. I have been running with a DIY solution. This is so much better. a) it's HDMI and runs to higher resolutions b) it's not VGA, which with a Mac-mini under Yosemite is slow... I just plugged it in - it was recognised as "fit-headless" and you can pick whatever normal resolution - appears very happy with 1920.
Review: Fixes steam headless errors! Perfect! - Needed to get my steam/plex server to be headless without steam throwing errors due to no hdmi tv connected. Bought this to try and fix the problem and it works PERFECTLY! Anyone having issues with steam dx errors due to headless mode chuck this in the hdmi port and it's all sorted. Mines set to 1080p and now streams perfectly no errors.

Works as advertised. Pricepoint is a bit steep for what it does, thought.
