Real Story on Video Out

A number of threads have been started on this subject but no definitive answer seems to have been reached. Is the Diamond capable of video out and how is it done?

as ive stated before. a user here has been generous enough to donate a tv out cable for the cause. once i receive this i will start my TV Out project for the diamond. im quite convinced that its fully obtainable, as all my reading has led me to beleive that its USB data thats sent to the dongle (MyMobler works with a video output via USB data to the pc). the dongle handles the Conversion to RCA Video out and the audio is handled strictly by a pass through from the Audio pins directly to the Audio RCA. (like plugging in a 3.5mm to RCA converter into your mp3 player)

also i have seen numerous videos of HTC's unavailing of the diamond. this video shows them clearly using a tv out function to project the diamonds screen onto a projection display so that could show off the features on a big screen :P so you tell me. is it doable?? i think so

thanks. if the diamond is video capable then the primary differences between it and the touch pro are the keyboard and storage options. is this correct? I am also not sure if the diamond comes with the jetcet print program but this could be added. does the cable you are receiving come standard with the pro or would it have to be bought with either?

the cable im getting is the standard HTC TV out cable that's used on multiple HTC Device Models, Such as the Raphael (Pro) the fact that its the same cable for multiple devices is also looking promising. like i said i beleive its strait usb data sent ot the dongle and the dongle converts it from there.

oh and did i mention the diamond has the tv out reg entries there just turned off

and i already have the TV out application from the Raphael

Great to hear your going to be working on this. I ordered a HTC cable to test this on Monday. I would love to work on this with you.

Let me know

i could use all the help i can get

two head are always better then one.

the Raphael, and diamond are the same hardware.

also ive been reading about the G1 all night..... it looks like its going to be identical to Raphael hardware but it will not have such a high resolution. with the source code and the hardware being essentially the same it will be easy to port

wow. that sounds very promising! i would love to install Android on my diamond

hopefully it can handle input from the on screen keyboard instead of physical one on the raphael.

Where's the reg entries? Where's the TV out app from the Rapahel? C'mon, don't hold back on us. Let us play with it too. LoL
