Image and sound in the Raspberry Pi 4 minicomputer
Raspberry Pi is equipped with two micro-sized HDMI connectors which enable video and audio transmission up to 4 K and 60 fps for one monitor and 30 fps for two monitors. A 4-field 3.5 mm jack socket is installed to connect headphones, speakers or analogue video via RCA Composite standard. Raspberry supports H265 (4Kp60), H.264 (1080p30) compression standard and OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 graphics.

Operating system for Raspberry
The raspberry drive, as before, is a microSD memory card. The manufacturer has not used eMMC memory. The operating system can be loaded using a computer with a card reader. In our offer you will find appropriate cards with installed NOOBs program, which on the first run gives the possibility to install one of the systems: Raspberry Pi OS, Openelec, RaspBMC, OSMC Linux.

Communication in Raspberry Pi 4
Raspberry Pi 4 has popular communication interfaces, available on traditional desktop and laptop computers. The most important of them are:
- 2 microHDMI connectors to simultaneously connect two monitors up to 4K.
- WiFi module - a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 802.11b/g/n/ac dual-band module - working with drivers in the latest Raspbian / NOOBs system.
- Bluetooth 5 module - popular 5.0 standard wireless connectivity
- 2 USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 connectors to connect peripheral devices. USB 3.0 allows for quick transfer from an external drive. If there are not enough connectors - we recommend using a USB HUB.
- An Ethernet socket, which allows wired connection to the network at up to 1 Gb/s.
- GPIO - 40 general purpose output/input pins, used for LEDs, buttons, motor controllers and interfaces: I2C, SPI and UART interfaces.
Power supply for Raspberry in version 4 minicomputer
Raspberry Pi 4 needs a power supply with a USB C connector and an output voltage of 5 V. The minimum recommended current capacity is 3 A. Our offer includes original power supplies and branded replacements that work with Raspberry Pi.
