Bluetooth to VGA system - anyone interested?

Hello Folks,
I am currently playing around with the idea of creating a basic bluetooth to VGA system which allows you to display VGA or 800x600 images to a VGA monitor using bluetooth and a Windows Mobile or Symbian device.
Don't expect moving video here - the maximum frequency would be one or two frames per second.
And it would be dedicated hardware. Anybody interested?
All the best

Sounds like a cool little project to me. Could you provide circuits etc of what you're propsing? Is this something you'll ultimately be wanting to sell?

[Q] Better Setup for Gamecube/Dreamcast

I've been using RDP client to play Gamecube and Dreamcast games on my XPlay for some time now.
I use the usual setup (emulating through Dolphin 3.0 and NullDC r136) and hit continuous speeds of around 32-34FPS with smooth audio (without root and overclock it will only hits 24-28FPS).
There's only 2 problem i have with this setup:
1. RDP Client - which doesn't seem to support a "fill screen" or "stretch to fit" option to display the entire windows screen on my Xplay. Basicly, part of the game i'm playing can only be viewed if i scroll up or down on the Xplay screen.
2. Full control support - RDP Client now supports more inputs but more for fiddling around on Window itself and not for gaming.
Does anyone have a more compatible setup then the one im currently using?
Personally, i think if a small program similar to xPadder was implemented into RDP Client which ran the controls separately through a bluetooth connection, we would have one hell of a way to play stronger consoles on Android (At home).
I understand that many consider this setup as useless because you have to be within your WiFi area to use it. But when it comes down to it, i personally dont have time to play games when i'm out and about. Especially game that take longer then a 15min train ride to the city.
I would so much prefer laying on the couch of an afternoon and play F-Zero GX or have a few round of Soul Calibur before bed.
But each to their own i guess.
Anyway if anyone know a better setup whilst keeping current FPS or is considering developing a dedicated Gaming RDP Client app for Android. let me know.
Cheers.
If you can only play at home on WiFi, why can't you play directly on the device that you are remoting into? Doing it over WiFi only adds latency.
Obviously, OnLive perfected it, but they have no incentive to give us our own server.
is this a real emu for dreamcast ?? on the xperia play ?
where can i get it please ?

No its just using the emulator on the PC and transferring the video.

The whole point to this setup (for me) is so i don't have to be sitting at my desk to play GC and DC. I thought i explained that in the 1st post
"I would so much prefer laying on the couch of an afternoon and play F-Zero GX or have a few rounds of Soul Calibur before bed."
I have no issue of Latency with the setup i have. Once again, that was in the 1st post
"hit continuous speeds of around 32-34FPS with smooth audio"
This post was a question in regards to alternative setups similar to this that people may be running. OR any projects i may have missed in the development of a dedicated RDP Client optimized for game streaming.
I have to admit that I was very excited to give the whole RDP to Dolphin thing a go. I came across the same issues that you have.
If you increase the render size of the frame you will drop frame rate. Chances are that you are using a low resolution on the host machine. If you change you game to full screen and change your RDP client setting to match you phone you will probably get a terrible frame rate.
There are no analog controls for the games that require them.
All in all I have opted to using onlive. I understand the need to play your own games, but I think the previous poster is right. They put Crazy Taxi in onlive and it plays great.

Screencast?

Is there any way to do a screencast on an Android device... in particular the Nexus 7? I'm trying to put together a video and I wanted a clip that showed the U.S. and it zoomed into a specific city. Problem is, on the computer Google Earth is somewhat choppy despite having nearly brand new hardware, and Google Maps just does an instant snap to that location. Google Maps on my N7 on the other hand works JUST AS I WOULD LIKE... but I'm not sure how to capture it?
Any idea?

Screencast captures your phone screen at high frame rates into a high quality MPEG4 video with audio. It can also take snapshots of your screen by holding the search key on your phone.

I want something like this, not to record a screencast, but to use as a way of having video out in lieu of not having hdmi. I have a pc hooked up to my hdmi display and was looking at the options. This app sounds like the best but doesn't work yet with tegra 2/3.
How fast is it with other devices? Like could a game be played at a smooth frame rate? Does it allow to stream live and not record a video?
Are there any other ways of doing this?
I've been searching for a while now with no luck. I record gameplay on my GNote with the afore mentioned app but seeing as the developer has all but vanished I'm guessing we won't be seeing Tetra support.
You'd almost think Nvidia would make an app to do this just so Tetra fans could make gameplay videos, thereby promoting their devices.

There are some demo videos of stuff coming... Nivdia has one showing a playbook to a TV that has the Miracast protocol
and ESR labs has the following
Hopefully soon...
Unless you already have a TV with it built in, you will need a some some sort dongle that has WiFi and s HDMI output. I just got a raspberry pi to be used with the ESR labs Android Transporter when it come available.

I just stumbled upon those videos yesterday. Very interesting stuff. I think I may grab a couple of raspberry pi's. I'm in Canada and I couldn't find it in stock right now. I wish they would build a cheap enclosure for it. I put a post on their website if they plan on making a linux client and not just for the pi. I would think it wouldn't take too much to make a generic version. I also noticed some hdmi outputs on tablets don't provide 1:1 mirroring. For ex, acer tablets cutoff the bottom menu. This I believe is for video playback, which makes sense, but I hope it's an option or in the spec of miracast to offer 1:1. I saw a TI demo of miracast as well, and they make mention of the display showing one thing and the tablet showing something different typical of normal wired hdmi outputs. Nvidia also has demo's of miracast as you linked, but I hope they make a windows client. It'll be a ways off before it's standard on TV's and it sounds like there will be dongle's available, but a lot of people have computers hooked up to their displays so it would be nice if there is a complete software solution as well.
Android Transporter for the Nexus7 and Raspberry PI
Hi all,
the video you showed in the one post is our old demo video.
Since yesterday we have a public preview. please see http://esrlabs.com/android-transporter-for-the-nexus-7-and-the-raspberry-pi/

Is it possible without rooting and without PC? :crying:
(I'm looking for the way to make video lesson (like Khan Academy's) direct on my tablet)

No, it's not possible. you need root or a pc (actually the root way to do it does not work atm)
Android 4.2 is supposed to include native support for Miracast devices. So we just need the Miracast set top boxes.
Does anyone know if Miracast carries over Audio?
I just installed Screencast on my N7 with CM10.1 grouper nightly 12182012.
When I try to screen capture video in landscape or in portrait the audio saves properly, but the video is a static hodgepodge of TWRP Touch recovery in a purplish sepiatone
yo b1LL did you bother reading Screencast app description? doesnt support Nexus 7 nor any tegra 3 based devices
Here's one
There's another thread that has one, and it works for screencasting but it really only gets 1-2 fps. So if you're desperate:

[Q] using Android phone/tablet as 'slave' display??

Hi, I wasn't too sure of where to post this, since it's not a device-specific question, but I hope you guys can help me out.
I need to setup a wireless security system that uses a CCD camera, but instead of having to buy a display monitor, I'm wondering if I can use an AV to HDMI/USB adapter to stream the video feed on my Nexus 7 with some sort of 3rd party video player app.
Anybody know if this can be done?

The device can't be used as a display like that, but there are several IP camera apps on the market if you want to go that route. Good luck!

UK IPTV Recording...

Hi all
I have the stick & the pro and have been using for IPTV, Netflix, YouTube etc mainly but I have moved house and have a lack of aerial so my old BT box that I used for freeview and recording is of no use. There is a satellite dish and LNB.
So I was wondering if I can use the shield for this either by connecting the LNB somehow or via an IPTV player that records. So a couple of questions...
As I understand it there is no way to connect the shield to the LNB and use it like that, is that correct? If I am wrong how do I do that please?
Secondly if I cannot do the above, or even if I can, would an IPTV player app or similar with the facility to record be a better option. If so does anyone have any recommendations please? I do not mind paying for the app as long as it works, I have read good things about the 'IPTV Tuner' app but cannot find anywhere if it records or just for viewing!
I've seen this but it has not been commented on for some time:
