Edge computer HDMI port

Is it possible to use the HDMI port on the edge computer (752-9401) to display a visualization created on Nodered to a SmartTV?

If not the Nodered UI, use another docker image

Thanks

Edge computer is basically a computer.
You can use the HDMI port for any purpose.
You need to activate the local GUI display (by default only a console as far as I remember).
For this you need to install a display manager, for exemple Light display manager.

apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies
service lightdm start

Then you can setup a web browser and use it in kiosk mode on boot up.
