Video Out
 
I understand that video out will use mini HDMI, but will it also work via my current touch pro2 micro usb RCA cables?:scratch:

Re: Video Out
 
Given that the TP2 is MiniUSB, you probably have MiniUSB cables, which would not work because the Evo is MicroUSB.

As you can see in this photo it has both the HDMI and a USB connection at the bottom seperately, though it's micro.

I saw that.I just didn't know if video out via the usb was possible.hmm

EDIT: Sorry, I missed the post by Cicatrize. Thanks.

So will there be a microusb video out?
I know HDMI vs RCA are two totally different formats (digital v. analog) yet the main tv I use to output tp2 video, uses RCA only. would suck to lose my orb.com capability in my car.

I could not find a MicroUSB to RCA, nor an HDMI to RCA cable anywhere on the net. I don't think it's possible right now, but maybe HTC will make something like that. Doubtful though.

this is a micro usb cable for the cowon s9 media player.



research says the cowon s9 uses micro usb but from the pics, looks almost like a mini hdmi.

I saw that while researching too. Looks like it's about the same size as mini HDMI. Too bad Amazon has practically NO information about that cable...

The weird thing is..the HDMI port on the EVO looks about the same size as a micro USB port...or smaller even

Re: Video Out
 
you could always use a hdmi to comp or hdmi to analog box at that set

tool2269 04-23-2010 10:27 AM

Re: Video Out
 
I found an option.. hdmi to composite box. http://www.svideo.com/hdmi2svideo.html

unfortunately its over $200. smh

oh well...it would have been nice to stream video (justin tv/orb.com/hulu) from the EVO to my car.

Re: Video Out
 
Surprising to see that HTC is not including their typical all-in-one ExtUSB port like they've used on previous phones, including the TP2... I guess with the separate HDMI out and 3.5mm headphone jack they didn't see the need to have an all-in-one port...

drksilenc 04-26-2010 02:04 AM

Re: Video Out
 
they didnt do it with the hero or the eris ither abrigham

abrigham 04-26-2010 03:48 AM

Re: Video Out
 
Actually, the Hero does have an ExtUSB port. I haven't tested it on my wife's Hero, but I'm sure it supports audio out. It may not support video out, but most likely only because Android doesn't support it, yet. They had to write custom libraries for the HDMI port on the Evo, after all.

drksilenc 04-26-2010 09:55 AM

Re: Video Out
 
yes it has the port but it didnt come with the adaptor... i have the hero and i never got one in my box. why would u need it though it has a 3.5mm headphone port on top and i doubt they did the drivers for the video out like they did on all the winmo handsets

abrigham 04-26-2010 06:09 PM

Re: Video Out
 
Don't want to start an argument or hijack the thread any further, but I never said anything about an adapter, I was just talking about the port itself. I just meant that I was surprised at first to see that HTC is not using the ExtUSB port. That's a bummer because it means that existing chargers and other adapters won't work.

Re: Video Out
 
The Sprint web site states that the HDMI port on the EVO requires an optional cable. Hopefully they will bundle it in with the phone... HTC is usually very good about providing adapaters with the phone.

Re: Video Out
 
the port is a HDMI Type C or Mini HDMI port, same port as on DSLR like my Canon 50D that I can use to display my camera's pictures onto an HDMI equipped display. Monoprice has some HDMI type C to Type A for $10.

FYI, the HTC incredible has video out through MicroUSB. Just saying there is such a cable (there is a YouTube video demonstration).

As for the OP question, I don't know if the MicroUSB port supports video out.

Re: Video Out
 
According to the engadget review it has a standard HDMI Type D micro connector. SOURCE

A quick google shopping search found this http://www.mycablemart.com/store/car..._detail&p=2317, but listed as out of stock, no ETA, for about $13.

This video out is turning into more of a weakness than a strength.

Re: Video Out
 
I hope the usb will be able to throw out sd a/v so I can link it to my car stereo for videos...
hmmm.. I never thought about that being an option.
