Do you know if there is a video-out solution for the Touch Diamond?
It would be nice to display the gps navigation screen on the DVD LCD panel mounted inside the car..
eXpansys has an 11-pin connector to RCA Male cable on their site. Might be just what you're looking for.
before you spend the money, realize that nobody has video out working on the diamond currently, there's thought that there simply isn't supporting hardware. the 11pin USB is the same as others that have video out..but for some reason it's not working.

oh, i didn`t see that thread, i searched but nothing came out. Thank you very much for your replies. Someone should close this thread.
I'm looking for something that will give me a TV Out function.
I travel a lot and I had thought about a netbook that I could hook up to a hotel TV but I already carry a rubbish work laptop so I don't really need to be lugging a netbook too.
Thats got me to thinking about phones with TV-Out.
Ideally I'd like something that I can playback movies, browse the web and maybe play some games (SNES, Genesis emus) via a hotel TV, it doesn't have to be HDMI in fact I'd probably rather have composite so I can connect it to the antiquated TV's the hotels I stay in seem to have!
Any suggestions?
here is a partial list:

I have seen confirmation that the Samsung Galaxy S can dump out component thru its 3.5mm headphone jack.
I think that would suit you perfectly.
Why don't you consider using an adaptor of some kind for your laptop since it almost certainly has a video out interface?
But if I had to choose a phone for TV-out, I'd probably pick the Galaxy S as well since I saw it's HDMI out demoed and it was quite nice.
Rhodium has TV out and works well
Hey guys I found this mhl adapter on monoprice and it's $10.20. By far one of the cheapest out there. Also monoprice has great build quality on their products! Here's the product link http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2, and here's their video on it! They test it out evo 3d's but the product description says it works for many devices!http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=P5tJl_a_wcc
works with no issues as long as you have a sense rom.
I've been using it for the past few mo with no issues at all.
Just ordered one. Thank you for the heads up!
Received mine, and it works great! Never thought the quality would still be so good being sent from a 4 inch to a 42 inch screen, but it was!
what do you use this for, mostly? I can't think of anything I wouldn't just plug in my laptop. I'm open to the idea though. I love adapters, have bins full of them
Well, this is more of a curiosity question than a practical. I was wondering if it was possible to get my Xbox running on my Surface screen, considering my surface is just a computer with a screen, I've tried HDMI to HDMI Mini, but I didn't think that would work... and it didn't.
Like I said, I don't need the answer, but it would be nice knowing I could play on my Xbox on the go.
No, Surface only has hdmi out and not hdmi in.

That's a Damn shame.
It's the same on all laptops. I've never yet seen a single one that could take HDMI in.
The only devices I have seen with HDMI in have been displays (of course) and video capture devices.
You can use a usb HDMI capture device as an input, bit latency on those things is sky high to the point that all games will be unplayable.
Otherwise. No computer to my knowledge has HDMI input abilities, including the surface.

My question now is.... why? Is it a hardware issue? Too me it makes no sense, I can't work out why they wouldn't make it possible.

Yes, it hardware. It like you cannot put 3.5mm microphone jack into 3.5mm headphone jack on many mp3 player and phone. It design to output port. Not input port. Except some device that combine output/input port into one.
Processors and graphics cards only ever have HDMI output. Never input. It would be an intensive task to record an HDMI input.
Now you could suggest that they rewire tye HDMI port directly to the screen, sadly the screen is not an HDMI screen on a laptop or tablet. Its usually LDVS or DSI, the former is more common. HDMI to LDVS adaptors exist but would add cost to the device and increase the amount of electronics you need to fit inside the shell of the laptop or tablet, your already space restricted in there.
Cheers everyone
Actually, you can connect your Xbox's HDMI into the Surface Pro, if you have an HD PVR, or any similar HDMI Capture Card.

Already mentioned capture devices. The latency on them (particularly USB ones) is just terrible. If your using a pass through capture card or hdmi splitter to play Xbox on the TV then the latency doesn't matter, but trust me, trying to play on your computer screen via a capture device is so bad that you might as well not play in the first place.

I can confirm that 100% as I use a HDMI capture card on my desktop PC and it has a 50ms latency which is terrible, but I use it to record my Black Ops 2 videos from the in-game Vault so it's not a problem to me as I don't use it to directly play on it. But if I have such a huge latency, imagine that with a USB capture card like the Hauppauge HD-PVR ! It'd just be unplayable.

I have an HDMI Capture Card via USB, and I know they're not meant to play on a Computer Screen.
Why should you even do that (unless you're without a TV, of course)?

That is what was suggested, the OP asked can he play his xbox using the surface as a monitor. USB capture card would be the only way and ,as we have long established, has far too much latency

Try emulating a 3.5ghz triple core powerPC CPU on your 1.7ghz dual core surface pro and then come back and ask that question again
Hell, all those guys moaning about no backwards compatibility for the xbox one, there is a reason for no backwards compatibility. 360 uses PowerPC, one uses x86. Emulation will be needed. General rule, to emulate platform A on platform B, platform B must be 10 times more powerful than platform A. Its a general rule, but the xbox one does not meet that requirement yet is way more powerful than the surface is.
The xbox live indie games use XNA and .NET though. No backwards compatibility for them is an absolute joke. It would be relatively trivial for a corporation such as microsoft to have .NET running on the one (infact I would hazard a guess that it will be), why the hell dont they let the indige games carry on over???? But now I am getting off topic.
End conclusion, no Xbox > surface is really possible unless you are screen capturing on a surface pro which would still be an undesirable situation for playing games, only recording.
To be fair he might have meant the original Xbox, which at 500MHz single-core x86 is probably too computationally intensive for the Surface RT (beacuse of the need to emulate x86) but might be possible even so, and would be trivial for the Pro. However, Microsoft does not generally approve of such emulators.
Yeah, original Xbox could well draw on existing hardware but no one has had much success as of yet which is a shame.

Yeah that's what I meant. I have a Pro and currently run several emulators. I am aware of the 360 specs but was mistaken that this thread wasn't about Original Xbox.

Original Xbox and pre elite 360s didn't have an HDMI out which is what was being discussed.
Hey. So I was at a friend's house and ended up using the miracast function on his TV. Honestly, it kicks MHL's behind thanks to ease of use as I didn't have to be close to the TV...
Now I am not willing to upgrade my TV just yet (mostly for monetary limits) so I am thinking of getting a miracast adapter. I was thinking of the Microsoft Wiresless Display Adapter as reviews tend to be quite positive. The downside is I know miracast doesn't always work flawlessly so I was hoping for your opinions/experiences.
Have any of you used your One M9 with a miracast adapter? Which one? How well did/does it work? Have any of you done it with Microsoft's in particular?
Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.

I use a cheap ebay miracast that cost me $14 USD. I use it on my Appradio 3 and Appradio Unchained Reloaded.
Only problem I have had is when the device tries to connect to a different wifi network while connected to the miracast device. It either disconnects or becomes very laggy.
The firmware is crap. Flashed beta firmware and now works flawlessly.
Here's the one I'm currently using. http://goo.gl/knb4Ui

I'm using a Roku stick, but the M9 will probably work with their other models. I like Miracast much more than DNA, because it's screen mirroring from phone to tv, not just streaming media.
