backpack video out to connect to a 7" LCD screen

Hi,
Would like to have the screen of the qtek 2020 visualized on a bigger screen.
Buying the backpack and connecting the video out to a video in of those 7" lcd display (you find many on the internet) will it work?
WIll it be aligned, I mean on the full screen size.
Thanks a lot.

backpack output is very slow maybe 2-5fps even slower when system is in (moderate) use. Far too slow for video, games, etc only useful for presentations and demonstrations.

ok, thanks for the reply.
What about using as a GPS?
I would like to see my tomtom 5 on a bigger screen. You think it will work?
Thanks and regards.

i've seen ones with both vga and composte
the xda should se one with composite as a tv it cant tell if a 32" tv is connected or something else
same thing with vga

I have no first hand experience of using tomtom so i dont know what it displays and how fast the display is updated but my best guess is that it will work fine on an external display. anybody have any experience?

is there any video program that allows you to use vga out from backpack to tv??? i couldnt find any myself..
also how can yo play a game on a tv via the backpack.. as i dont see any good app out there taht mirrors the screen of ppc fast enough.. ia mirror suxs

As thousand times said: You need XDA2 Back-pack and a CF VGA Card to connect at fluid speed (25fps) for videos,etc..

PPC as Webcam Software (Wifi)

Hi,
I'm searching for a software to turn my ppc into a Webcam for Skype,...
I know there's:
Ateksoft Webcamera Plus
Mobiola Webcam
But I need one to use the front Cam of my "Touch HD" so I can use it when it's craddled.
Ateksoft should do it but doesen't.
Mobiola can't do it.
Any other suggestions.

Ateksoft Webcamera Plus actually can do what you need, I have my Universal and I use it with the front cam with no problem

Hmm,
I tested it yesterday...
When I try to switch from Camara to Camara+ in the menu it still shows to back cam...
I'm using - perhaps it's a problem with the "Touch HD"!?
can anyone confirm?

nope cant confirm that, but i found that particular app very slow and not worth bothering with. As much as it pained me to do so, ur better off with a proper webcam. just my opinion...

same here...always using rear camera....but i have a bigger problem : it didn't worked at all (touch HD...stock 1.14 rom). I can see the video on the dive but the PC software stays always in "waiting for connection"...i tried autoip and setting ip manually with no success...no firewall, etc.....Strange is that when i open the software on the PC it automatically opens the PDA soft....so there is a connection......don't know what else to try....

I have that same problem at my touch hd!
it works fine at my samsung sgh-i780!
edit: ive got it up and running with my rear camera in landscape mode!.. Front camera is not working

Webcam without paid software

I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509981 on how to use your phone as a webcam without any paid apps. It says to use mymobiler and an app called Vh Screen to capture the mymobiler camera stream (it will recognize the feed as a webcam). The problem is it suggest using mymobiler but with the Fuze/Touch Pro if you turn on the camera it doesn't stream through mymobiler (you just get a black screen but the menus show up).
So I did the following and it works as a video camera but I can't get sound yet.
1) Connected Fuze to PC using the tv-out cables. I use the freeware DScaler on my PC to get the input from the tv-out cables onto my PC: http://www.dscaler.org/dscaler4.htm
2) Used VH screen capture driver to capture the dscaler feed http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8
3) Use MSN Messenger and it works as a 'video' camera but no sound was being transmitted.
Any ideas? I think the problem is that DScaler is not transmitting audio.
Thanks

I don't know about the way you are doing it, but Qik does streaming video and audio from your mobile phone for free.
www.qik.com

thanks - I know about Qik...it's very hard on batteries and you can't use it for other messenger apps. I was hoping to get a universal 'webcam' so you can use it for regular chats and skype, etc.

haha i'm not sure where i picked this up from, might have just been fuze mobility
BUT vzochat.com does free video messaging! they have a pc client and a winmo client. i installed it and used it with two friends - one has an HD the other has a tilt. the tilt camera had issues but the hd worked great, minus some feedback (prob volume too high) and htey have a pc client too.
that sort of kinda not really acts as a webcam but it's still cool!

lmao yeah vzo chat might have been from fuzemobility and i think the poster of that article is the original poster of this thread. Again vzo chat only works in vzo chat. I think the OP is looking for a webcam that work with other software like yahoo and msn and skype.

Yeah I did post on Qik and VZO in the past Both are good for what they are. I'm hoping to take it one step further so it can work in more apps though. I'm going to tinker with some more wires tonight while pressing 'record' in the video to see if that gets audio throughput.

OK- to get audio just plugin in a 3.5mm headset. Here is the entire thing step by step: http://www.fuzemobility.com/using-your-fuze-as-a-webcam/

use Leo as a webcam

I know, there are many solutions out there to use any mobilephone's webcam, but I didn't found any free ones and maybe one of you use his/her Leo as a webcam already (for Skype at PC eg) and can recommend me a one!?
thanks

Oh, that would be great!

Hmmm I got a one called WebCamera Plus, but worked not very well in trial, because there were many "scratches" every few seconds. That was very ugly. Did s.o. else have a better opinion or knows how to "solve" this problem? (It has a nice interface at all)

mobiola webcam for windows mobile works perfectly with skype and msn. although its a trial version - but funny anyway

OK I think I can sum up that both commercial solutions like "WebCamera Plus" and "Mobiola Webcam" are pretty useless on the HD2, cause the both seem not to work fluid an smooth, the picture gets stripes all the time and it lacks a lil bit too much for me.
So I searched a long time for another solution and finally found the way of the xda-member pafke, who says:
This is in short how it works (and it is free):
Download mymobiler: http://www.mymobiler.com
Download VH screen capture driver: http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8
Start mymobiler and activate your mobile camera
Grab the part of the screen you want with VH screen capture
Now you have a webcam stream which you can use in any program like skype, msn etc..
Look at this video as example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wveANUBUIJM
Instead of using the microsoft remote tool use mymobiler. It is much faster.
PS: You need active sync to communicate with mymobiler

you can find the quotation here!
And this one really works fine, BUT it's not really comfortable! So you can make the Program track the windows from MyMobiler even when you open applications in the front and it's much more fluid than the other commercial programs and you can stream it to ICQ, Skype, chatroulette and whereever you want perfectly, BUT there are even some cons!
Like the camera is very sharp and I would like to make it more smooth and overlay it with a red/orange filter for make it a more wamer and then there is the problem with the size, I tried it serveral times to rotate (with MyMobile -> rotate) but that was a whole crap! Unfortunally resizing is not the best skill of the VH Screen Driver.
Maybe some of you got along with that problem or know an application to set after the VHS Screen Driver outgoing stream to rotate/scale/Colorize filter and make a new stream of that which can be used of skype, icq and all webcam related services and programs!?

Topaz as real time camera ?

I want to use the topaz cam like a real time camera, for example when you are doing a public presentation with a pc and a videoprojector and you would like to show a small device on the desk near your pc
I want to know if it exists an app wich can display in the real time the view of the back topaz camera?
I have begun with my mobiler and when i switch on the cam app i have a black screen on the mymobiler windows of my pc so I have tried another several apps like Mobiola or WebCamera Plus but i don't succeed to have on my PC a real time screen of my topaz .
I also try tinycam but the display in yhe browser is too small and with poor quality
Thanks for your help

I can get real time camera with Mobiola. Not sure why it wouldn't work for you?
Have you tried Pocket Controller? It is like My Mobiler but better.

With mobiola it only works in 240x320 but it is too small.

I have tried Pocket Controller and when i switch on the camera, i have a black screen on my Pocket Controller PC screen.
But if i start mobiola, i can see it in a bigger size on my Pocket Controller PC screen. So it works but it is not very easy and i have to start 2 apps
Why i can not see on my Pocket Controller PC screen the camera view when it is switch on whereas with mobiola i can?

Yeah, unfortunately Pocket Controller can't render real time images because there is always a slight delay.

the display time with Pocket Controller is faster than with my mobiler
But I don't understand why with Pocket Controller or with my mobiler, the PC display windows don't show the screen of my topaz and replace it with black screen?

Yeah, I have never cared for My Mobiler, much prefer Pocket Controller.
I think they lack the proper video drivers to render video from the screen correctly, so the screen goes black.

I think about that too
But why i can see the screen with mobiola and not with Pocket Controller? perhaps it is a drivers problem....
