Hi,
does anyone know an adapter to change the HDMI signal from my MHL-adapter to VGA?
I need it because of the data projectors at my university.
I have already tried with 2 adapters: HDMI-> DVI and DVI-> VGA
but it didn't work.
Thx for your help
Just wait for something like that : http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/bizlink-mhl-to-vga-tv-out-adapter-black-p29960.htm
Or buy this type of cable, that could be better than buying a new adapter :http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/soonitrade/VGA_HD-15_Male_Cable_(1).jpg

HDMI has no analogue component so it can't be passively converted to analogue (VGA.) Similarly, VGA-HDMI cables are designed for devices that can output HDMI-over-VGA, and won't work either. You need an active adapter for that.

HP makes a HDMI to VGA

I haven't tried this yet. Anyone know if this HP device works?
Does anyone have any suggestions for a HDMI to VGA converter to use with the Xoom? Every so often I'll invite over a few people and play movies in the backyard. I've been using a laptop and projector, but after getting the Xoom I've been thinking about getting rid of that laptop.
Related question. Are there any HDMI/VGA converters that split off the audio? Should I even bother with that or just plug speakers into the headphone jack?
Kramer Electronic has 1, a VP-422
is it not possible to convert to vga without digital scalers ?
Not without a transcoder. VGA is analog, HDMI is digitial, they send a completely different kind of signal. DVI-D and HDMI are the same however (aside from the lack of audio, of course), so if your monitor or TV has DVI-D, then you can just get an adapter on eBay or monoprice for a couple bucks.
from what i've read micro hdmi doesnt have the right pins for a DVI connection.

Perhaps that's why it didn't work for me when I tried... I just ended up buying a different monitor with HDMI.
Xoom does not have the required +5V out that is needed for DVI. That's why it won't work.

I've been trying to figure out how to mirror my Nexus 7's display to my standard TV. I believe I need a composite cable to do this. Is there any way I can directly output from the Nexus 7 to composite? Or do I have to go Nexus 7 > HDMI > HDMI to Composite Converter > TV? I'm just searching around for the cheapest possible solution, thanks!

That's a mess lol, so many adaptors, anyway for getting hdmi signal from the nexus 7 you would use a Slimport Adaptor like this, or you can use the official Slimport brand adaptor for 15 bucks more, the

Well, I'm searching for a method that does not involve HDMI. That will be most cost efficient and have less cables. I don't have an HDTV so I need a composite cable. Thanks!

Yeah i know what are you trying to do, but actually the only way to get wired audio/video signal is to use the slimport adaptor. (With wireless you would use Miracast but this isn't your case) So in your case you must use the slimport, the hdmi to composite adaptor and i think you should be good.

Okay, thanks! If I purchase the Official SlimPort, will I be able to mirror both the Nexus 7 and other Samsung devices? Or just Nexus devices? Thanks.

It would work fine with every device that support Slimport, newer devices do like LG G2, G Pad 8.3, Nexus 5 and so on. But you should check on the specifications of your devices. Before Slimport productors used to support MHL, which is almost the same but it keeps busy the USB port and on display that doesn't support MHL you should even buy an adapter which even needs external power supply.. if you can see on the Analogix Slimport adaptor you got a microUSB and the HDMI, the first is just for using it as the device one and HDMI for streaming. I was reading that Slimport has some limitations about the length of the HDMI cable, something like that it needs to be not longer than 50 centimeters otherwise you'd encounter problems..
Anyway i think that the Slimport adapter that costs just 15 bucks will be great.

Alright, looks like the SlimPort isn't going to work with the Samsung devices. Is there a cheap alternative so I can switch between Nexus 7 and the other devices? Specifically the S3 and S2 (Epic 4G Touch)
Thanks!

I think the only way is to use Wi-Fi Direct/DLNA. If you're gonna cast your screen just for viewing youtube, netflix and stuff like that, you could use the Chromecast, which does that particular job. It can't cast the entire screen but movies, audio (and other DLNA stuff) and compatible apps (you need to see on its webpage) can right now. To cast the entire screen you would need the Miracast technology but i don't know if there are any good dongles on the market that permit to do that as chromecast does. I hope you know what I mean, i'm not a native english speaker
You should take a look at the Chromecast if that can do what you need, or you can see Miracast dongles like this but i can't suggest anything
OK, I'm trying to do the same. I bought a slimport adapter and a HDMI to composite adapter. My N7 works just fine from slimport to HDMI to the TV, but doesn't work when I add the HDMI to composite adapter. However, if I hook my cable box through HDMI to the composite adapter, all works well. So its something from that slimport out of the tablet to the other adapter. What I'm trying to do is get the display mirrored in my van for the kids and the van only has composite inputs. I'm at a loss.
I can not seem to find a dock that includes HDMI out and a USB hub for my Nexus 5. I have a few ideas but none of them seem very feasible. Does anybody have any docks or docking solutions that they can recommend? I found a 2 way micro usb splitter, and I was going to plug a small usb hub and a slimport hdmi out adapter in to the 2 available ports. but I feel like that will not work. I found a little MHL plug with a media card reader, single usb port, and an hdmi port, but from what I have seen the Nexus 5 doesn't support MHL. Would any roms support MHL, or is it a hardware thing? Any answers or recommendations would be much appreciated!
Hi. I'm on how to connect my Dex Station (with Note 8) to my new Asus Usb C Monitor.
I tried a Piaek adapter. No go. Seems like anything made to go usb to HDMI doesn't work the other way.
There are a couple of HDMI to usb 3 converters, like inogeni but theyt are really expensive
Anyone know anything about this?
