Hi
am wondering if youcan run an external video signal into the XDAII ? For example could you run composite video cables from a vcr to the XDA to view video on the device ?
thanx
mark
well i suppose it would be possible if anybody made it as a sdio card or a cf card using the backpack or as a backpack
never seen one though
doubt there is that big a market for it
If you just want pictures without sound you could use the LifeView FlyGrabber CF card with the CF backpack. The FlyGrabber comes with connectors for S-Video and standard composite video, but there is no audio support. Bit pricey though.
just point the camera at the tv = live video on the XDAII
but seriously, i was thinking of using my wifi card to stream sky tv to the device.
i have sky on a usb capture card on the pc, and it can stream to messenger or ivisit like a web cam....or stream to a web page
sadly pocket msn doesn't support web cam, but maybe i could get some other software to pick up the stream
not sure what i could do with it maybe just watch sky in the bath
video conferencing is not really a go with the camera being on the wrong side of the XDAII
suppose thats one of the reasons the new 3g phones have a cam in front and on the back
video conf is still pretty closely related to 3g because it take up more band then grps can handle
and ms have no plans for 3g support untill 2006 or something
Streaming Video (and sound)
Hi,
You could put up a local streaming media server and then watch
it in the Pocket Media Player. Please note you may not get very
good throughput for the WLAN on the SDIO.. I have never seen
anything above 300kb/s...
For sound you can set up Winamp with a Shoutcast-server, then
tune in with some WLAN SDIO card with the fantastic and free

Is there anyway to output video playback from the ppc?
The spectec SDIO card is only for pics and presentations, I'm looking for something that can output real video.
I know that you can do it now with slingbox, but I want something portable that i will be able to connect to any TV (like a SDIO card).
Is there any product that can do that?
regardless, I read somewhere that you can stream video from the ppc to your TV using an HTPC (Home Theater PC) and some program called ORBIS. Do you have any idea what are they talking about? I can't find the link for the discussion...
Thanks for any help
There was some news story recently where the reporter was "shooting" video live on his phone and it was being broadcast on TV. This obviously means it's possible, but turning your PPC into a server is a different story.
There is the ActiveSync Remote Display, part of the Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys, but I never tested it to stream video. If it works on the some technology as Remote Desktop, you won't be able to stream video. But try it out.
Good luck,
Matt
oh, i m not alone. i m looking the same thing as well. i m looking (still looking...) something (not SDIO) that can output the pda screen display (and also sound) to tv or monitor. i m using o2 atom, so the only "connection" is either via a special usb cable or a bluetooth device.

Please make sure you follow my articles. CoolCamera is what you're looking for - it's the best solution for this.
I don't recommend PC -> PPC controllers because of speed issues - not even the, in this respect, fastest (read my remote controller roundup, it has been referenced several times in my articles cross-posted to here) Soti Pocket Controller.
I don't know if this has been discussed anywhere else but...
Does anyone know how I can get the video from my Tilt to show on my Pioneer AVIC-D3 display? I have my Slingbox setup and working on my Tilt and I can get the audio to play through the Bluetooth to the receiver, but I don't see a way to get the video to transfer over. Maybe a wired connection to the Aux Video Input jack?
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks to all...

It's http://orb.com. It turns your home pc into a streaming media server. Hands down better that slingbox.
With ORB you can connect your TV via a TV Tuner Card, or Have Live Secure Webcams with motion capture.
Also If you would like to stream and capture cam video from you mobile device to web you might want to check out comvu.com
You Must Never Ever Owned A SLINGBOX!

You must not own a SlingBox, Orb will never ever be better than the SlingBox. Orb buffers all the time, with the SlingBox you get perfect video all the time, don't you know. The newly just released SlingPlayer mobile software is the 8th wonder of the world, Orb don't even come close dude.(LOL)
Hi,
Is there a piece of software that lets me use my phone as an LCD screen/monitor for my computer? Ideally, i'd like to stream movies from my pc to the screen of my HTC phone (trinity atm), bt would like to use the speakers of my main computer.
Thanks,
James
The closest things I can think of would be using a remote desktop/VPN app to get to your PC. Video over VPN is a problem though - it typically doesn't work very well for a number of reasons. Your other choice would be to use a media streaming app on your PC and stream to TCPMP or Windows Media Player on your phone.
Neither of these solutions is anything like "using my phone as an LCD monitor" though.
yeah i dont think therminal services support the overlays that video use
nor DX as in directmedia stuff
another problem with streaming it while playing it on pc to use it's speakers would be to make sure the audio and video was in sync
of cause to get around that one could use a htc audio to 3.5minijack and feed the sound from the pda back into the pc's line in and have it play like that
of cause that raise the problem with the cable having to be pretty long otherwise i guess one could just watch it on the pc
I think that this server was not supported.
I agree with you Stream the videos from your PC... And if you have bluetooth on your PC, you can use the A2DP-service(BT stereo) to stream the sound back... But this will most likely fail because the use of A2DP is a real CPU-killer on our trinity... (Which will cause the video to no be shown, or be very lagging...)
you can try http://www.innobec.com/en/index.php
but this only works at WinXP or lower.
and it seems the program is not longer updated.

Excellent!!!!! This is *exactly* what I was looking for!
Many thanks =)
Now that is cool!
I wonder if it works with WM6.
Would be great for putting a voice comms app (ventrilo / teamspeak) on the PDA screen when I am gaming on my PC - that way I can see who is speaking.
Hi:
I'm musician and I travel a lot. Sometimes I go with my laptop and sit by the sea and make music. As I always go with my Pocket (Blueangel) I'm looking to an alternative to move around with my costly mics to also recording voice directly to the laptop.
I'm aware there's plenty of software options for "off-line" recording, but what I looking for is a way of recording live (with the lowest latency possible) from my PPC.
If Skype does it, why not to have a WDM driver for the PPC and allow direct recording to my sequencer software?
I'm having a look at things like Luci (http://www.luci.eu/manbasic.html) which I found here: http://www.core-sound.com/pdaudio-cf/4.php...
Cheers!
I like TP function that they could connect to monitor out for presentation, etc..
But would it be better if TP could use TV-Out cable as a TV-In and record some TV programs, and convert into FLV or MPG formats ?
Anyone could develop this idea?
Thanks.
I don't think it has the hosrpower to do that.... Outputting is one thing but receiving a signal and encoding on the fly... Naaaah not gonna happen...
However a small device that plugged into the USB, and essentially streamed video direct to the built ijn memory card would be possible, but somebody would have to create it !
I don't think it can be done, for the same reason you can't just "convert" a TV-out on a PC video card to TV-in. It requires different hardware, which isn't there. That's why you need to buy a video capture card.
Well, you could just point your camera at a TV showing the video source...

You mis-understand, the device I have in mind IS a video capture card, with USB host facillities, allowing it to use the phone as a USB hard drive to store it's video on, this video could then be played back on the phone !

Yes, I think that's a valid idea, I was actually replying to asiandelight's post, because he mentions the TV-out cable.
Does anyone know of a program that can combine audio(from the mic) and video(from the camera) into a stream that could be accessed via wifi? Kinda like Qik without involving Qik servers. What would be perfect is VLC.
I have found a few programs that kinda do it, WebCameraPlus and Mobiola. But both require a driver on a computer and do not transmit sound.
What I am trying to do is use an old WM phone(HTC Wizard) as a baby monitor. I could use a PC or another smart phone to access the stream from pretty much anywhere then. The wizard apparently doesnt work with Qik, or maybe it is just an issue with the ROM.
Moved as not software release.
