can the evo do video output via rca cable? i.e. the red yellow and white?
It sure can!
http://www.google.com/products?q=hdmi+to+composite&um=1
I was also wondering about this. Does the cable work for the droid incredible work with a evo.
Heres a youtube with the incredible using the cable.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJyt463AoOA&feature=player_embedded#!
The droid incredible use mini usb and with the wirefly video, a htc act100 tv out cable. The Evo have micro-hdmi type D to hdmi. I not sure there a micro-hdmi to rca tv-out cable.

The incredible has a micro-usb slot too, just like the Evo
anyone try the incredible cable out with an evo yet?
not same connector.
It's a feature of the Incredible, not the EVO.
Besides, HDMI out better...lol
Yes, you can get a converter to go from Micro HDMI to HDMI to Composite, but they aren't cheap. The reason is that Composite is an analog signal and HDMI is digital. HDMI carries both high definition video and surround sound audio on a single line.
So, you're going to lose image quality and you're going to spend a fair amount of money (I believe) to convert the signal.
If you don't have a TV with an HDMI port, that would be what you need to work on, not changing the signal from the phone. All new devices use HDMI now, it's the standard.
evo RCA cable
I'm not sure if this thread has closed. I have a similar question. I had the touch pro and bought the factory wire that was usb to RCA (red, white, yellow). I have the evo now and need a similar wire. Reason being is i have my car navigation modified to accept a video source, but its input is the yellow RCA, not HDMI. Does anyone know if they will make a cable similar to the touch pro or if there is some kind of dongle or converter piece that can be used.
Thanks

i would like to do that with my evo too.
edit #1
actually, it want it to output google maps and pandora mainly, so maybe i'll have to wait for the final cyanogen rom and a hdmi to composite adapter...that doesn't sound like fun at all. Did we ever figure out if the micro-to-rca cable from the incredible even works for the evo? I would buy one just to find out...
google, here i come...
found one!
edit #2
this guy said he already bought the cable and "it doesn't fit in the evo's usb port". That doesn't really make any sense though, does it... Hmmmmm.
Maybe it does, i remember the port looked a little goofy on the droid inc. oh well, c'est la vie.
edit #3
man, i'm on fire today i guess. No one really cares probably, but here is the difference:
+ 1 for this.
The HDMI port is mostly useless for me. I use my video out on the TP2 for a screen in the car that my kids watch, or my projector (neither of which support HD).
One of the reasons I'm considering the EVO versus any other Android offering is because I actually use the TV out on my current phone, and most other phones don't offer this. But it appears that I'm no better off (buying a bulky composite converter is out of the question). This is soooo disappointing!
The incredible can do something the EVO can not?! tsk tsk...

probably gotta buy a converter box that converts between digital(hdmi) and analog(RCA) signals.
I have not been able to find one as I would like to have this as well. *BUMP*
A cable can't simply convert the digital HDMI signal into an analog composite one. You need to buy a converter such as this one:
http://www.amazon.com/GefenTV-HDMI-to-Composite-Scaler/dp/B0013LTNF8
Converting HDMI to composite unfortunately takes more than a simple adapter. You can find a scaler/scan converter that will do it but they are not cheap.

edit: Oh snap! I was too slow
thanks for the quick replies...ya, if it requires a converter that expensive, probably not worth it...that sux...
I guess your intention is to feed a larger screen with the video from your Evo? Might be better to just get a small LCD panel that accepts HDMI in at that point.
ya, that was my original intention...ya, getting an LCD screen is def. the better option than paying for an expensive converter.
Has anyone had any luck getting on of these to pair to a aftermarket "ipod ready" cd decks?
heres a link if anyone is intrested

I have this hooked up to my alpine deck with the ipod adapter cable. It pairs up to my evo and the audio controls on my deck control the music app!
Sprint used to sell this for 10 bucks in store but they can't even order them any more. Mines the same adapter but has a sprint logo on it.

Hmmm I want it so bad to work, odd thing it pairs with no passcode.
but my Sony deck just says no device when on the USB input.
Hopefully this is just a cm6 issue and will be resolved
Awesome. I hate that *EVERYTHING* is "iPod/iPhone" compliant. It's not the only damn device out there, its why I bought the EVO!
I hope they start supporting Android more or make decks that can control via bluetooth or something
I have the Insignia version of this and got it to pair with two Evos no problem. I use it everyday on my Belkin iPod car adapter thingamajig.
It didn't ask for a passcode. It just pairs up as a stereo audio device. Does your iPod adapter supply power? Is there a light on the bluetooth adapter to confirm it?

I want to say about 1.5 - 2 years ago? I picked it up off of ebay as a refurb. It's been discontinued for a while though, and I haven't seen any for sale...

There's power, I think i might need the "Sony iPod one wire digital cord" ill have to go to best buy and try one out if they let me
I just reread your post man and tried to gain a better understand. I think I see what your problem is. Correct me if I'm wrong, but what you're saying is you are connecting the FIPO to a USB dock cord to a USB port? The thing is, the FIPO actually converts the bluetooth signal into a straight audio signal. If it is plugged into a USB port, the port can't handle an audio feed, it needs a data feed. When you plugged in your iPod, did the 'do not disconnect' logo pop on it? If so then it is mounted as a disk drive. Since you mentioned a USB port, have tried plugging your EVO into it using the standard cable?
If you want to utilize this iPod adapter, you'll have to connect it to a straight audio input. So you would need something like this:
http://www.cablejive.com/universal-dock-converter
That provides an audio out from the bluetooth adapter (which would go to the stereo input), and the USB cable would be the power source.
I hope I imagined you're setup correctly, if not ignore what I said lol.

you may be right, I have so monkeying around to do. I wanted this for a wireless solution. tomm I am going to see if just plugging a ipod in with tis standard cord works. If not im going to see about the "sony ipod one-wire digital cable"
Hi,
I have an old Ipod DLO Homedock that I use in my car with the OEM navigation. THe connectors are the standard composite (yellow, red, white) & I have an Ipod plugged into it for tunes in the car.
I would like to use the Evo instead.
How can I get the evo plugged into a RCA connector?
Can I do HDMI to RCA? I dont see anything on Monoprice, they seem to be the other way around.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=hdmi+to+rca
Any ideas what I can use? The stuff on Ebay looks like it probably wont work as I think there needs to be some sort of conversion.
I am looking to play music & maybe some videos.
Thanks,
Rich
you will need an actual converter box since you are looking to do a digital to analog conversion.
yes, and they arent cheap. Just google "hdmi to composite"
http://www.amazon.com/GefenTV-HDMI-to-Composite-Scaler/dp/B0013LTNF8
Ok so in my room I have one of the older Hitachi plasma tv's that was made before they started putting HDMI in as standard. Still in great working condition so I really see no need to upgrade it for now. Now my question is.. it does have these OTHER ports that look kinda like HDMI ports but I know they arent. Anyone know of like some sort of special cable or adapter I could use to go HDMI direct from the phone to the tv?
You can get something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/GefenTV-HDMI-to-Composite-Scaler/dp/B0013LTNF8
Obviously this is a pretty expensive option. I did a 10 second Google search and found this. I'm sure there are cheaper methods.
If it's an HDTV, then it either has a DVI input or component inputs. If your TV had DVI, you can use something like this with the regular EVO HDMI cable:
http://cgi.ebay.com/DVI-D-HDMI-Adap...836?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b96e20fc
If your TV only has component inputs, then you need an actual converter box like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HDMI-5-RCA-Comp...024?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a0d942cc0
What Cares posted is a scaler that actually converts an analog signal into digital. You already have a digital signal being sent from your phone via HDMI to a digital TV, so all you need is a converter/adapter.....you don't need upscaling.
Hope that helps..........
Hi everyone
Is there any cables out there that either fit directly into the phone or through the dock thar output to rca or similar, as most tv's on the road or b&bs don't have a hdmi port.
Seen a mini hdmi to rca cable, but is the port on the atrix/dock a mini hdmi or some moto hybrid port.
Any info sure would make trips on the road better than STD tv rubbish.
Thanks.
I purchased an hdmi to dvi+1 connector. maybe you can get a dvi to vga than to rca and so fourth. Just trying to help. I know its a little extra but hey.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
wont work without a box to convert the digital to analogue, the reson dvi-vga works on pcs is because dvi can also carry an analogue signal, but that wont help in this case
HDMI is digital, RCA is analogue. You cannot feed a digital signal into something that's analogue. You need some sort of a converter box. Too expensive of a process in my opinion.
Its easier for digital gadgets to produce HDMI signals because the signal is decoded in the device that's receiving it. Analogue signals require an output with some strength to be able to make it to the receiving end----requires more power and hardware.

correct. you could go with a MicroHDMI to HDMI, connect an HDMI to DVI+ adapter, and a headphone jack to RCA or headphone jack to headphone jack for audio, as DVI+ does not carry audio like HDMI does.
There are small portable DAC converters. they cost about $100. i have 2 for different studio equipment, but i would never use it for something like this.

What is the conector on the Atrix that outputs to hdmi ?
Thanks
I would settle for HDMI -> Fiber Optic Audio
I don't know if that is possible... cause the audio out on HDMI is only triggered most likely by video out. I have an HDMI to DVI converter, and it puts out video, but doesn't put out sound since DVI can't handle sound. The video pinout is the same. The sound plays through the phone. Which makes me think that audio only would not trigger HDMI.
Yeah, I understand what you're saying, they sell black box type of deals but would like a solution cheaper than the phone itself. Not supremely important, would just be nice.

Would love to just use hdmi but most tv in hotels/b&B's are just scart & rca. Is the output a mini hdmi or something else on the atrix, if it is I'll buy one just to try.
