Has anyone looked into this? With the audio now being output there, is there another pin carrying video that's yet undiscovered? Thanks.
nope no video out from what ive researched. even if there were, its qvga resolution so you are fairly limited.
you could your soti pocket controller to control your pda from your PC, you get a real time feed of you ppc on your pc.
hope this helps.
adios...
It is definitely possible to do it (even that I have no idea how).
Ateksoft has a program called WebCamera Plus which let you use your PDA as real-time webcam.

I'm using it on my TyTN and it works great.
using a pda or symbian smart phone as a webcam is possible as the software captures the straming video and transmits its as data packetrs via usb or BT to a PC, in which it is then decoded on the PC and the image/video stream from the camera is formed.
Actual video out (such as that accomplished with notebooks) via usb on the TYTN is another thing - from what I have read it might not be possible.
Anyone seen or tried the MicroSD version of this http://www.spectec.com.tw/sdv.htm ?
its really funny u askd this cus just last night b4 I went to bed, I wondered the same thing
I googled video out via usb and found a 60 dollar cable that converted from standard usb to s-video and audio and I'm sure theres mini-usb to usb converter
=) so hope that helps. I'd look it up but I have no 3g here at my parents lake house =/ I'm connectd over gsm, just got here. I get no umts at all and barely any gsm signal. this craps slow
I looked on the net for the Spectec Video-To-Go microSD Card and found it here

It's $171.95. this would be great if I was still doing customer presentations.
Please note: This product does not convert the screen’s image into a VGA video signal. ... then what exactly does this do .. has me confused since some time ...
Also, these things require SDIO support .. not sure if TyTN got one ..
It'd be easy enough to emulate VGA on your device and use that for presentations, but your limitation is lack of an I/O to the graphic chip. As such, you're stuck with streaming the display data, which will be slow (for games), but perhaps perfectly fine for a slideshow.
Next prob though is the hardware - you can stream from device to device, but not stream from device to a (mini-usb) wire to a projector etc - at least the hardware issues are well beyond my experience.
A streaming projector might be a good solution. But all in, I think you're generally stuck for a cheap solution to outputing video over USB without a surrogate device in the middle. And if you're gonna have a surrogate, you might as well use that as the display device.
Check out nyditot for a VGA emulator.

May I suggest a better way? Simply install PC-based Powerpoint viewer on storage card. That way you merely need to drop your card into an USB SD reader, connect the reader to any host PC, and run your presentation. I do this often and avoid traveling with my laptop.

One reason I've always disliked the Ateksoft solution is that it requires installation of Ateksoft magicry on the PC. A true webcam solution should simply make the PPC act like a dumb webcam, piping the audio and video to the USB. We've all experienced those cheap webcams which you just plug in to your USB port, and MSN or Yahoo or whatever can pick up the device as an audio/video webcam, no installation of drivers required.
Software which does for webcam what Softick does for USB mass storage is what I'm after...
You didn't say what you wanted by 'video out'.. but I can tell you there aren't any 'unused' pins in the USB pinout. They're all audio or usb data. If the TYTN supported usb on the go (which it doesn't seem to) then you might see it turn into a mass storage device or webcam easily..
But for the moment, no, theres no pins to tap a composite or vga signal off of. I highly doubt the device has such a chip on board.
eh, I wanted to output video to my car A/V system. since I can sync the video on my device to my media center, that would be the easiest way to take shows to my car. so the streaming or flash solutions really don't address the problem for me...thanks for all of the thinking on it, though
ditto here

That's the kinda stuff i've always wanted e.i. connecting my PDA to the SVideo Input of my car screen.
Seems "easy" to do with activesync, but seems to cause trouble because of the lack of video stream on usb pinout.
I'm just letting out an idea : Might be possible to emulate an activesync connection and capture the sreeen of the PDA and broadcast it out on svideo.
(don't ask, I don't even have a clue of how to do that)
SOTI Pocket controler and My Mobiler can do that, any chance someone find out a way ?
TY Guys, have fun
I was just wondering, because this phone has a great camera, and I've seen people do some wonderful things with it, in terms of extra uses.
So, has there been any kind of drivers made that will hook this up to the computer as USB webcam? I'd love that.
Try these guys:

USB webcam on the marketplace. The video's choppy but it works.
Thanks. Simple install and works just fine.
Is it possible to connect USB hard drives to the phone to access its files? I think I read something like that in a review a few days ago. It really got me wondering. I think the reviewer said the Nokia N8 also has this feature. Can anybody confirm?
There is a youtube video showing this, its several weeks old (searching for galaxy S2 usb host should bring it up, at work so can't get into youTube to supply you a link).
Thanks a lot! Seems to work just fine!
Here's the video if anyone needs it:

Yep, looks good. I purchased an el-cheapo adapter from Ebay to try out when I get my SGSII in a week or so (its been confirmed to work with the Xoom, so hopefully will work here too, the official ones aren't slated for release until June).
Be interesting to know whether it will do more than just USB drives - USB keyboard/mouse/gamepad support would be nice too!

It seems working smoothly with a probably FAT32 usb stick, the question is would it do the same with an ext3 (don't even dare to ask NTFS...) external hard drive?
Go to the accessories forum and look at my thread there on USB OTG - my video is a lot better than the one shared in this thread FWIW.
Hey I've got a mojo with Unjustified Dev's version of CM12 on it standing arround doing nothing. I decided to plug it in and use is as an Alexa bridge for my RF devices. Works great. I then thought it would be nice to setup autovoice for some Kodi controlling which was previously done through a slow tablet I had laying arround. Problem is I can't get a mic to work with the Mojo.
Things I've tried:
- Directly plugging in a mic into the head phone port: Nothing.
- Directly plugging in an earphone/mic combo which runs off a sigular 3.5mm jack.: Works but as you can imaginge you have to be quite close to the mic.
- UBS Mic: Nothing.
- USB Webcam w/ mic (c270): Nothing / not detected.
Preferred method would be the webcam as it had a decent range on the mic, any ideas on getting that to work?

In case it helps anyone else I bought a "phone specific" microphone it works with the Mojo and autovoice although continuous doesn't work that well.
I love this forum

Good job on finding and posting your results. I messed with this for a very short period of time and gave up but with your post I decided to investigate a little further, share and explain a little more. The key is TRRS. This picture should help understand. Also being able to use Bluetooth would be awesome and I believe this adapter (should) work https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008FB9SWW/ref=aw_wl_ov_dp_1_1?colid=10PUST8J1AUJO&coliid=I2844LZIZA7O20

Thanks for that, it actually makes sense now.
Newbie here. I have searched but did not find a solution to this.
I would like to attach a webcam to my phone or tablet and broadcast it to a colleague in another location.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Use the included otg adapter and plug your webcam in. Check if it works not sure. You can still use the cameras on the phone.
Your phone already has 2 great quality cameras, i don't see the need to attach another
