[Idea] Adaptor For Video Streaming

[shovel]

ITs possible to create an adaptor to stream the video signal to tv ?

Do you mean a TV-out cable, or something else? If so, those are available as an accessory.

If not, could you please explain what you mean?

Also please post such "ideas" in the new FAQ section http://www.gp32x.de...d-help-pandora/ or under "General Talk".

Judging from your description you pretty much want to get a TV-out cable (here is a link to the German shop: http://www.gp2x.de/s...oducts_id/110 ). It will go into the EXT-port on the Pandora and will be able to stream the video and audio signal from via Components and/or S-Video.

An adaptor to send the video signal via bluetooth or wifi... (not a cable....) or another kind of transfert method to the tv. maybe it need a little box plugged in the tv s-video input or the rbg input ... to receive the signal ...

we will be able to use the Pandora.. as a joystick... a sofisticate tv controler... we will be able to play games or browse the web on the TV... a portable media center to see ours movies... at yours friend home without copying anything... and easy to plug.. and if its possible! to stream audio signal via the FM band... optional (and if you want ... you can send the video/sound signal to UHF receiver on tvs ... maybe on a small distance... the video and sound will be comparable to any digital signal for old tv...) its a kind of device that will give to the pandora... a touch to get to the top. There are so many application with a device like this one. easy to create a network game with 2 tv and 2 Pandora in a friend house Make the ability to teach to student with a Pandora in the hands.. an a projector.. sit on is back... and scroll... paint.. write content over an images or kind of stuff like this... they are selling the big touch screen and a projector to enteprise.. for a bunch of buck... a device that can bring down the cost of a 72" touch screen panel to a little price.

So a tv-out cable, only wireless. Or more likely: software for live-streaming audio and video from one computer (the pandora) to another (the media server connected to the tv with a cable) over wifi.

I can't find evidence that we have that yet. I don't know why. Maybe it's unworkable? Maybe it's just a strange new use case?

What we do have is wireless AV broadcast system. They more or less do what you say: plug the pandora in one end and the tv in the other. Unfortunately, they are not meant for our case of the start and end point being across the room from one another, so you'd have to pay over a hundred dollars and broadcast your every image and sound over a hundred feet. Hope none of your neighbors still have antenna televisions. OR LIKE NOT HAVING CANCER¡

Another option is to put everything you'd want to use or watch on the media server, and then use the Pandora as a remote and game controller. Only usable at your

Or (sigh) get a tv-out cable. Having to use a cable in this day and age makes me sad, but it may only be for a little while.

There are various media streaming boxes on the market, and for the most part they use standard protocols.
It would certainly be possible to set up the Pandora to stream video to one.

Sending the screen over might be more difficult however.
If you had a Linux box to receive, you might be able to set up something with VNC or X forwarding.
However it would only be useful for low refresh rate stuff, you wouldn't be able play games on it.

It might be possible to capture and encode a video and stream that, but you'd be limiting the processing power available to whatever you were doing, and it would still be compressed, so might not look great.

I don't see the problem. I mean, video can be streamed across wireless (not sure about bluetooth- I think it's lower bandwidth), so what's the problem with that?

It is a problem. There's no wireless solutions available that have enough bandwidth, unless you realtime-encode it into a video. DVI pushes something like 540MB/sec of pixel data. That's closing in on 6gbit. Bluetooth is... 1.5mbit? :lol: So you need 4000x as much bandwidth?

Videos are 2D, but you can think of them as 3D. The time factor lets pixels that don't change not be resent - but this introduces delay, because the encoder needs multiple frames of data before it can encode the frames intelligently, and then start sending them... and it also takes a lot of CPU time, and some extra RAM.

It's not really feasible. Your best bet would be the TV-out cable to an external encoder box, to take the load off the Pandora.

OMG.

i think you need to re-think things again

first of all is more easy to have a bluetooth controller instead of a bluetooth video. (not to say more feasible, cheaper and lot of other stuff too)
then you can have it more like a multimedia station and if you have a docking set, you can easily take it and go for mobility.

this method allows you to play online, and if you have a psx or console controller 2 usb adaptor, and plug it thru the docking station (a usb hub will do the trick) you get the full action thru tv.

so try to think like an engineer, dont make things that adapts to your life, adapt things to your life.
