Weird, it says something about the EVO outputting at 1080p. I thought it only did 720p

NOt sure what it could put out, but it records in 720p, maybe it pushes out higher :S seem pointless tho lol

Output Via HDMI it will do 1080P....the Camera is only capible of 720P...But I feel I'm probably gonna pick this HTC product up...for once they do something right....but I may way till they get the issues fix with the cradle...seems right now sometimes it only outputs in 480P...

hmmm unfortunately it doesnt look like the docking station will fit a Evo with a hard case.

Well, it is HDMI. If you have a video on your SD Card that's 1080p, it will output as such.

Class 2 is 16mbit/s. That should do 1080p with zero problem.

EDIT: I should specify... Most 1080p video you'll be streaming through the HDMI should be compressed. A full quality Blu-Ray rip (which I've never seen) would not stream fast enough, but neither would a class 6. Class 10+ would be required.

So I think BestBuy screwed this up. The Snapdragon in the EVO (see: wiki) can only decode 720p.

From wiki:

Quote:

The Snapdragon application processor core is called Scorpion and is similar to the ARM Cortex-A8 core.[1][2] All Snapdragon processors contain the circuitry to decode High-Definition (HD) video at 720p resolution.[3]
...
The upcoming HTC EVO 4G also uses the Snapdragon QSD8650 1GHz processor under the hood, due to be introduced for Sprint.[13]
...
Qualcomm expects to launch two products in 2010[14]:
8X50A: 1.3 GHz; 45 nanometer technology; available in endproducts at the end of 2010
8X72: dual-core, each core clocked at 1.5 GHz; capable of decoding 1080p

So essentially the chipset can only decode 720p fast enough. Or am I reading this wrong?
