Transformer Prime is 3D capable (HC & ICS) - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

To my surprise the 3D TV switched to 3D mode instantly after I connected the Prime via HDMI and started ShadowGun THD.
Same for Riptide GP and the YouTube-Client (on 3D movies).
Performance was almost similar to non-3D, so this baby is a true 3D media station.
Sure, you can display 3D content on every Smartphone/Tablet with HDMI-Output when selecting Side by Side on the Device and the 3D TV/beamer, but in this case it worked out of the box.
EDIT: Here's a 3D video showing the Transformer Prime in 3D action on a LG TV set:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6d4d64qSXw
I wonder whether this is possible with iOS-Devices

good find, I had noted this back when prime first dropped that it supported it. Now we need developers to enable 3d mode on the tablet display itself. Can you make a video or something showing how you got it to work or showing it off?

Actually yes, I can demonstrate this. I already recorded two videos showing ShadowGun THD and Riptide HD in 3D and will edit and upload them to youtube this weekend.
You'll need 3D equipment to watch the 3D videos, though (or use side by side and cross eye to watch them).

Nvidia stated that the tegra3 has 3d support via HDMI. The prime just doesnt come with a 3d screen.

I think software can be tweaked to make prime screen 3d one way or another. Whether needing glasses or just plain eye. SAME AS watching 3d YouTube videos with glasses on or whatever. It can be done.

Yea this is pretty cool, anyone have a link to a long 1.4v hdmi to micro hdmi? I have a sony 3dtv cant wait to tinker with it.

Prime screen can not do 3d. It takes 2 screens on top of each other to make it 3d. The prime only has a single screen.

It is possible with a special kind of screen saver sheet which seperates either columns or lines to hit left or right eye, plus an adaption in the gfx driver to support that kind of stereoskopy.

I connected the prime to my 3dtv with riptide running, the tv then automatically switches to 3d mode. However, there is no 3d effect in the game. I tried adjusting the 3d slider in settings > HDMI, but it didn't make any difference. It looks the same with or without the 3d glasses. Same result with 3d YouTube videos.
Has anyone had any success with 3d?

OK, so I normally connect by nvidia laptop to a dlp projector, and have the 3d vision usb pyramid transmitter thing and 3d glasses and can watch films and play games in 3d from my laptop. Are we saying that I can do the same on my tablet?????
I've ordered a cable and will try it out...

IF your DLP beamer speaks HDMI 1.4a, yes, it should work. Mine (Acer H5360) doesn't, so I have to put the Optima 3DXL box in between to translate between side by side-signals and 120Hz interlaced. Didn't try the Prime on that combination yet, though.
@ aMandroid: I had mine connected to the TV before starting up the games, probably they require to detect a 3D capable display to switch to 3D mode.

All you need is a Micro-HDMI cable and a 3D capable TV set. Connect the Prime to the TV first and then start the games.

Thanks this is what I am doing, i can see the prime start the game in 3d as it shows a new 3d settings in the notification bar, and the tv also switches to 3d mode. However, the image on the tv screen has no 3d effect, it looks the same with or without the glasses. Can someone pls confirm that it is working after the latest ota release?

I will try some 3D tomorrow and see how mine does on my 42

Worked fine for me on the latest OTA with my UN55D8K Sammy and the microHDMI cable that came with my Atrix. It didn't work with my friend's Alienware M17xR3 via HDMI in though, but that appeared to be a driver issue on his laptop.

HDMI Out via MHL Adapter from T-Mobile

So, I ordered the mhl adapter for the sensation from t-mobile on Monday so that I would have it when I got the phone. Well, got the phones on Wednesday and the adapter didn't show till today, so poor planning on my part. I attached a pic of my invoice with the product number for reference.
Anyway, I can say that the adapter works great and displays the full ui from the phone to the tv perfectly. It scales nicely in landscape and you can hardly see any lag in the phone or HDMI out. It's always fun playing angry birds on a plasma screen. Also audio is sent to the tv nicely, angry birds with surround sound is pretty sweet. The extent of my testing is with angry birds and the phone ui, but I'm sure I'll find some more purposeful uses for it in the future.
Something I didn't like about it though. You HAVE TO have the charger plugged in, or you will not get HDMI out. You can plug them in any order that you like, but if there is no charger connected, you will not get HDMI out.
I'm sure someone will fix this once we're rooted, but It's kind of annoying right now. I'm also sure there's a good reason for it to be this way, likely because the battery won't last long sending out hd. I'll just have to get a new tv that supports mhl so I won't have to run two cables, yeah, that's a good excuse to get a new tv, right?
Edit: Here's a link to the T-Mobile store,
http://find.t-mobile.com/controller?N=0&Ntk=primary&Ntx=mode+matchpartialmax&Ntt=supa37117
Pick Sensation 4G and then scroll down to Data, it should be in there.
Edit: Actually, you'll have to go back and pick HTC, then Sensation, then Data. Otherwise it doesn't show up for some reason.

Right on, good to hear that HTC hasn't blocked a bunch of content from being outputted like they did with the old Evo.
MHL doesnt support 3d currently. Maybe in revision 2.0 with "hopefully" a firmware update needed instead of new hardware.
But from what I saw online it should only be able to output 2d.
question?i have a 3d samsung led tv that requires glasses,is there anyway to view pics or videos with my evo 3d?

Mhl adapters have a micro usb port on them so you can charge your phone while outputting hdmi.

I know this is OT, but I picked up a nice media player a few days ago (had to replace my older Argosy HV335T), and this thing is perfect with DLNA (they just call it UPNP, there is no actual DLNA option on it). Been streaming quite a bit from my EVO 3D already with no delay or lag on it.

So you still need a micro hdmi cable in addition to the mhl cable? I thought the point of it was to reduce the amount of cables you used, not increase

No, no need for the micro hdmi cable from the Evo 4G. The adapter uses a standard hdmi cable. What you DO need is the micro-USB charge cable to plug into the appropriate port on the adapter.
I have both of those np, got my micro hdmi cable from monoprice
Just fyi pulled pictures on to my pc....was able to open them and using red/cyan glasses to view on 2d monitor and 2d panisonic plasma worked great....havn't played with video yet...will keep you updated
Just literally got mine in the mail. Didn't think T-Mobile would ship it via parcel post with $5.99 standard shipping (I expected at least first class. Way to be cheap about it T-Mobile). Should have opted for overnight since I ordered it last Wednesday and was hoping to get it by Friday or Saturday.
Overall pretty impressive. NetFlix, Green Hornet and everything else I've tried will output to the HDTV I'm a little bit annoyed that you MUST plug in power for it to work. I understand the MHL standard isn't available on any TV yet, but I didn't think power was a requirement with the adapter. Not a huge issue, but still wishing they went with microHDMI.
Only thing I've noticed is with Hulu+ when installing a permission was set to block HDMI, but since I am not able to stream any videos because of an "incompatible device" I can't test it. Can't wait for root though so I can really have fun with CM7 and HDMI mirroring

3D using MHL adapter

I've been reading.on here that some folks can't see their 3D content on their 3D tvs using and MHL adapter. Well I will say that is false!! I have the Samsung MHL adapter that comes with the infuse 4G. And I have the LG 47LW5600 3D t.v. its a newer model that uses passive glasses instead of active. It works flawlessly. Just watched all my 3D content, it even automagically sensed the 3D content and switched.

I tried my Evo 3D connected to an active shutter glasses 3d TV with the official htc mhl adapter and it wouldn't play the 3d movies or the 3d pictures.
I have he T-Mobile MHL Adapter and a 2011 Samsung TV and 3D works great. the TV dosn't detect it as 3D but if I press the 3D button, it looks fantastic with glasses.
Hello guys, I was using and everything was ok but now it's like disabled and I do not show anything on screen, tips on how to handle the power of the hdmi out?
sorry my english
It works great with the passive toshiba 3D TV in my bedroom.
I think it would be useful when u write if u used a "passive 3d" or a TV with shutter 3d.
And also which MHL-Adapter u have...i want to buy both (MHL and TV) and it would be a nice thing when also 3d from my evo will work there
LG cinema3d passive monitor
had no luck with 3d on two separate monprice adapters.
Having limited success with new samsung galaxy 3 mhl adapter.
But after a brief time, the screen goes blank but doesn't say not connected just blank.
I'm on an ICS sense 3.6 - common v.2.0 final.
the output to the display in 2d mode seems incredible pixelated.
I remember there have been options in past roms to change output to TV format to force 720p... but not seeing that anywhere on this rom.
Wish there was a way to force 1080p.
OH well, anyone have any advice? Best Rom apps combo ya'll have found to both capture and display 3d videos and photos on passive 3d tvs via MHL?
Thank you very much.
best,

HDMI out?

I tried to search, but for some reason the site isn't allowing me to search just this forum?
Does this phone include HDMI out? Is it via Mirco USB like the 3D? Do I need the MHL cable? Does anyone have a site they recommend buying one from? I've never used the HDMI out on my 3D or 4G. I've used it on my Transformer TF101 and it works well. I have to send in one of my ASUS RoG laptops, that I have hooked up to my 55" TV in my bedroom. I won't have anyway to watch movies except via my tablet while it is having the video card replaced (overheating). I would use my tablet, but I like to read on it and you can't hook it directly to a PC to transfer to the SD card. Same for my significant other's, she likes to work crosswords while movies are playing too, so I can't just use hers.
Long post, what cable do I need? Is this supported?

I see no mention of it in the fact sheets.
I have read on a few sites that it has microUSB w/MHL, so u would need the adapter, but I don't see anything on any official documentation about it (user guide, htc's website).
So I guess we'll see. Most sites say it does though. If not, you can use the HTC Media link, or any other DLNA to stream wirelessly.

Cannot imagine it would lack MHL which has been standard in HTCs high end handsets since the Sensation. GSMArena, who presently have a review unit, state that it has MHL in their specifications list which does suggest it is there (I only say suggest since GSMArena specifications have errors on occasion).

Looks cool, but I don't really want to spend $100 when a $10.00 cable will do the same thing. Purchased 3 or 4 would be absurd. I didn't see whether it output 1080P or what resolution. I would be happy with 720P output and $50 worth of cables for all my TVs and one if I wanted to travel. Shame it is MINI on tablets and MICRO on the phones. I checked Phonearena.com and they made no mention of it either. Hopefully whoever gets theirs first will have the cable to check. I am going to go ahead and order one as they are just a few bucks.

That is still $55 plus tax. I just order the cable for $8.00 shipped. I don't see the value in it being wireless as the adapter still has to be plugged into the TV and the wall and my phone likely won't make it through a movie without being plugged in too. When it becomes integrated into most all new TVs fine, but until then $50 worth of cables that I can hookup and leave installed on various TVs is better for me.

I have a 4 or 6 footer always in my laptop bag and a 25 footer at home for the laptop or whatever - I probably should have a few more but don't. Next time I order micro USB cables I'll get a couple more.
So is the HTC Media Link just for those who don't have a DLNA tv? I have a new 55" Sony led tv and can stream music from my Evo 3D to my tv with out wires. Will be awesome if my Evo LTE can stream everything straight to my tv just like it would with the HTC Media Link, but without having to use the HTC Media Link!! I already have hdmi-micro hdmi cables that I use with my Transformer Prime if the new Evo connects that way. Also have a MHL adaptor that I use with my Evo 3D which is the way I assume the Evo LTE will work. That is if I'm hooking it up with a wired connection anyway...

Sounds like a wire is the best value for you, but I just wanted to comment on some of the features that makes this a great value for some people.
The ability to stream a movie to the tv wirelessly and still use your phone is great. I can stream a movie to the tv for the kids and still play games and surf the web (or even get some work done).
The other use for that is as a presenter. I can leave my laptop at home and just bring the Media Link and use the phone as both the source and controller. So awesome.
There are a bunch demos on youtube, just search "htc media link" (I can't link yet unfortunately).

Did not realize you could stream and still use the phone for other things. Let me make sure I follow. While a movie is playing wireless I can talk on the phone and/or surf the internet and it will not affect the movie? I guess I am having a hard time following, does it not have to be playing in the foreground? Does it not mirror the phones desktop?

From what I have seen in reviews and read yes you can kick off a movie playing over media link press the home key and use ur phone to send emails or whatever while the movie plays in background.
The phone will also do mirroring.
From what I can tell mirror mode is entered when u enable media link from home screen, otherwise if ur in a specific app and u enable media link only that app will show and you can run it in the background
I haven't read the user guide yet, but every time I have seen media link displayed that was what I saw

It can do both - Mirror, and basically use it as a 2nd display for video or stills while using your phone for other things.
See why I love it so much now?
Also, another nice thing you can use it for is to wirelessly stream your music to your tv or stereo.
As mentioned in my previous post, there are clear videos on youtube of its functionality if you search for "htc media link".
I got my MHL adapter today. It is no where near as clear as my TF101. It was tolerable on my 40" LCD at my shop, but I am betting it will look even worse on my 55" in my bedroom at home. I likely will only use it for the kid's room (I have a jank Evo 3D) and I don't care if she thinks the quality is poor. I doubt she will notice. Save me having to let her use one of our tablets and me having to put a laptop in her room. We don't want her on the internet yet, so this should be perfect.
so got my MHL adapter today and it doesnt work, cant even find an option for it in the settings like on my evo 3D. Spent 40.00 and been messing with it for a minute and still nothing. anything on this? if I don't get it working its getting returned lol
I got the $10 one from Monoprice and it doesn't work either unless im missing a switch or setting somewhere.

There are a couple of ways but I'm afraid none will work smoothly. There is WebKey (Play Store) and Android Screencast.
The best way is using the hdmi output. You can hook it up to your monitor/tv with an mhl adapter + hdmi cord. I do this when playing Modern Combat 4 or Vice City while using my MOGA controller. Just like using a PS3 =)
If you don't have a controller though you may find yourself looking at your phone more than not (to see the controls since you can't feel your way around).

Micro HDMI to HDMI to DVI Television resolution

Hey Everyone. Not sure if this is normal, or just because of my setup mentioned above, but the resolution from my Prime to my HD TV isn't very good, and is very pixelated. Is this a normal thing for bringing a prime to a TV through HDMI, or
Is there something specific everybody else is doing, or does anyone know of a solution?
It may be because of the DVI, but my cable box uses that too and the picture there is great.
Thanks again for any help.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I haven't had good luck with HDMI-to-DVI adapters with my Prime either. In fact, the one that I tried didn't seem to work at all, even though they are supposed to be electrically compatible...
"Because HDMI is electrically compatible with the CEA-861 signals used by digital visual interface (DVI), no signal conversion is necessary, nor is there a loss of video quality when a DVI-to-HDMI adapter is used." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI
I have not had a reason to use dvi yet. HDMI works great for me. I use it to stream movie s from my network-through the tf201-to the TV.
I do remember, now that i think of it, that i hooked up my prime to a tv in my office, the resolution was not very good. I will test it again today when I go to the office and report back.
You should try finding a a tv that has hdmi input and test that to see if there is a difference.
I'm just happy JB supports DVI. ICS did not and I have a projector with DVI-in. I decided to give it a quick try and it has some rather large pixels. I have a modest projector, so the "screen door" effect is normal, but this however, is much more exaggerated.
again, happy it even works.
Thanks you two. I'll check with a regular TV with HDMI and see what happens.

I'll also invest in a better adapter, and see if that helps, and let you know what helps.
