Topaz as real time camera ? - Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps

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....

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

External monitor or software to display on PC?

Is there any way to hook my Toshiba G900 which runs at WVGA to an external monitor of some sort? It lacks VGA Out so I'm guessing not, though is there any software which will stream it over to my PC? Perhaps allow me to interact with the phone using the PC, such as clicking for a stylus tap.
Thanks.
My Mobiler
download it from http://www.mymobiler.com
Thanks for that. I'm getting server errors right now so the site is probably down, but I'll try again soon.

Try this: http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro
hope it helps,
Or you can use software provided by Toshiba - teleport (it's usually on a CD bundled with the phone). It allows you to view phone's screen and control it from a PC, or use phone's keyboard to control the PC. Not very efficient and i prefer MyMobiler over it, but it is a possible solution
Oh, and by the way, you can grab MyMobiler at places other than author's website which still seems to be down:

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!?

Does Wyse Pocketcloud only support 4:3 resolutions ?

I downloaded pocketcloud (Free version) from the market few minutes back. It works fine, I could connect to my PC without any problems, I like the mouse implementation, and everything is good. Except the screen resolution. For some reason It only let me use 4:3 resolutions (1280x1024,1024x768,800x600 and 640x480). I looked everywhere in the settings of both Android and PC app, but there is no place to enable or set a wide screen resolution. When I use one of the above resolutions, PC screen shows up to the left and there is a huge black box on the right. I saw a couple of youtube videos where it runs full screen at wide screen aspect ratio. Why doesnt it work for me ? I would gladly buy the full version which is like $8, but only if it works in full screen mode.
Was not happy with resolution also with Wyse. Check out "2x" in market. This will go full tablet when opened, plus the free version supports multiple connection configuration unlike Wyse free.

No such complaints with the full version. Full screen works perfectly with Automatic resolution.

The paid version does support full screen resolution. Once I bought it, the PCs I connected to automatically went full screen, I didn't have to set the resolution. With the desktop client installed it is a super convenient RDP client. The only problem I have with it is that when using a USB mouse the right-click acts as a back button.

If you can pony up $5, SplashTop blows both 2X and Wyse out of the water. You get uber smooth remote desktop... of the likes you've probably never seen before.
Be sure to get the HD version...

But can it work behind a firewall (without port forwarding) ? I want something that can, haven't tested wyse completely but from the looks of it,seemed like it can.

As long as you install the desktop companion, Wyse will work behind a firewall. I saw in the comments of splashtop that it wasnt working behind a firewall but that "they are working on it." I also really like the way Wyse makes everything accessible from the on-screen cursor. Not sure how Splashtop takes care of things like right-click and drag n drop, but I like how Wyse does it. I also like that Wyse supports VNC for my Linux box.
I wish splashtop had a free light version so I could compare it without buying another RDP app. Although I see splashtop just lowered the price again, so I may have to give it a shot while it's on sale.

Pardon me if I'm wrong but isn't splashtop included by default on the Transformer? It's part of the MyCloud app.

Yes it is! Very little point in paying for something that Asus has given you for free.
