TV Out Cable: Time to Mass produce! (2013-06-22)

[EvilDragon]

So, finally, I got the new prototype sample of the TV Out Cable with our proper connector - and as expected, it now works properly

Attached are a few pics.



As you can see, it's a neat small adapter cable which easily fits into the carry case.

Connect to your TV using standard A/V cables and there you go!

As you can see, you got multiple connectors:

Composite out, SVideo out, Audio Out Stereo, Audio in Stereo.



Nintendo DS games look gorgeous on a CRT TV, BTW, like they have been made for that purpose.

So with the Pandora showing a different screen than the TV, is that a Retro-NDS-u?

Okay, time for mass production

Mass production will take about 7 weeks, so it'll be another end of a loooong trip...

w00t~!!

Spoiler

Thank you, ED

 

[edgex004]

Yay!

 

[leathco]

Awesome, looks good.

 

[vinipsmaker]

It looks cool. Thanks ED.

One question: The colors are confusing. Will they be shipped with a one-page manual?

 

[FelixNemis]

Awesome news

 

[Miv]

So those of us who preordered TV-Out will not have that preorder honored or even refunded? Or did I misread your other post?

 

[leathco]

That blue Pandora looks tough, if I ever go 1 ghz I'd love a blue one.

Will you take preorders for the cables? Will they be available through ithic?

 

[FaeMinx]

Yeah baby!

Wow, great!

I'm looking forward to try those cables. But please serve all other preorderers first, since I have made my own cable that works well for me, too.

Suggestion:

Since most standard A/V cables that you can use for the purpose of connecting the new TV-Out cable to a TV are quite bulky, thick and heavy, we may evaluate the available few better thinner A/V cables, and the best one, with source, should be mentioned in the Dragonbox shop as a recommended accessory.

Or maybe you can even resell such cables via Dragonbox.

So, does anyone already have a good lightweight but long enough cable, that's suitable?

It all depends how sturdy you want it. Thick = sturdy but heavy. Thin = lighter and will break more easily, but might be preferable for travel. Personally I'll be going for thick and sturdy, as while my Pandora is portable and I take it everywhere, my TV is not, so the cable can live with the TV.

Very good news !!!

It's cool to have a TV out, with the current lack of screens ;^p.

Prototype looks very solid. Good job, I am certainly going to buy one. 

 

[PokeParadox]

Yay! Will definately get one after payday (Or when we can order them...)!

Right.

You may buy a Pandora with bad screen and an external 800x480 monitor.

 

[Ian J]

Excellent news, can't wait to get one of these.

 

[Mr_Loon]

Looking good, nice to see another milestone in the journey coming into sight.
