[Q] micro hdmi to vga converter - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

micro hdmi to vga converter
i bought a Accell J129B-002B Micro HDMI (Type D) to VGA Adapter to use with a dell 1200mp for presentatins.my problem is that when i plug it the tablet shows down at the bar that hdmi is connected but nothing shows on my projector. i also try on my viesonic monitor and my vizio tv and nothing.however i am using a vga male to vga male cable since the accell vga is female.i am wondering if that is the problem and i need and vga male to vga male adapter instead. any help will be appreciated

No, you have the right cable. I just bought one myself, and used a long microHDMI to HDMI cable for a presentation. Did you remember to plug in the adapter to a USB port as well? The adapter requires power because it's doing a digital to analog conversion.

I'm using the official ASUS hdmi to vga adapter that works perfectly without issues. Used it for two presentations already. It was quite cheap as well (~25 Francs = ~25ish $)

Does it do anything about resolution adjustments? I would use the heck out of the vga adaptor if it could somehow convert the resolution to 1024x768.

yeah i tried connecting the usb to the dock and also using the power adapter that came with the converter. im wondering.... what did u use to plug it to the projector a male to male vga cable or a male to male vga adapter.because the accell converter is hdmi to micro and the other side is a female vga plug so it wont connect directly to the projector so i usea vga male to male cable from a computer.the hdmi part i tried using the one that came with the converter and a media bridge 6 ft micro to hdmi cable i own and nothing. when i plug the converter it turns a green light

you are on ics?maibe my adapter is broken.when i use the micro to hdmi to my tv or pc it works.so i know is not the cable.

i just pluged my computer to my hdmi monitor using the accell adapter from computer hdmi to monitor using vga and the accell converter worked.also my micro hdmi works when connected directly.so i guess the micro hdmi on the prime and the accell converter works.so im out of ideas as of why it dosent work.any help will be apreciated.

I think the prime will only output 720p (1280x720) but i havent checked since the new update .21 they seemed to have changed something. Will check later if there are more options now.
Its certainly possible though, this is only a matter of software. The tegra3 GPU is more or less a low energy version of what we have in our Desktop PCs. They can output all kinds of resolutions but you need a tool to tell it what to output.
[e] you now have some options if you want to scale or crop the image. No actual resolution change. One thing i noticed though you can output 3D content to a 3D tv or something if you have one, there are settings for this now This Tablet is so awesome^^

I saw does features.I wonder why everybody's hdmi to vga works but mine.

Having sort of the same issue, I have a microHDMI to HDMI, plugging the HDMI into a DVI-? adapter (the one without the pins around the horizontal plug inside the male end). Shows HDMI connected but nothing displays, and iirc the DVI is digital. I very well could be wrong but there's no way to power that adapter.
Haven't bought a VGA adapter for this reason ;p

I saw that adapter but I went VGA bcz of all the good feedback and this crap dosent work.I wonder if d Asus one is any better

The prime CAN and WILL output 1080p to HDMI if the source content supports it. If your video can play 1080 and the player supports it, it will work. Confirmed by dozens of people in various threads.
As to adjusting the VGA resolution... VGA is limited by the technology it uses, to a maximum resolution of around 800x600 with limited colors (think 16 bit colors). With the color depth were used to you are limited to around 640×480. Nothing i have found anywhere has suggested that they can use standard VGA to output anything higher. Even HD video players (hell, a blueray player) with a VGA connection on it is only outputting at 640x480. Limited by the technology in the cable and the architechecture of the cable. Keeping in mind, VGA is ~30 years old, older than most of the people on the forum i dare say
Long story short: no VGA adapter i know of will do anything higher than 640x480. Use HDMI or DVI for higher resolution.

I guess mine is bad or something,so bottom line is im going to return this thing and maibe by the asus one or something else.

I have to beg to differ, pileot. I'm an A/V tech, and I have used VGA cables for much higher resolutions than you mentioned. As I said before, 1024x768 is standard resolution for most LCD projectors, and VGA cables have no problem passing that signal.

I think it may be helpful to clarify some terminology here. "VGA" was first introduced on the IBM PS/2 back in the late '80s, but in modern computer terminology it has come to mean two different things: a video resolution of 640 by 480 pixels, or the 15-pin D-sub connector designed to carry that signal. If we're taking about hardware, then we're referring to the latter. So, I have the Asus VGA adapter connected to my Prime, and I have a 22" Dell monitor connected to that. The Prime's screen is displayed on the monitor at a resolution of 1280 by 720. If I plug that same monitor into a computer using the same 15-pin D-sub cable, it can handle a resolution of up to 1680 by 1050. If I connect my Prime to my flatscreen TV at home with an HDMI cable, I can get even higher resolutions, up to full 1080p HD. So, the VGA adapter does seem to limit the output resolution to a degree, but 720p HD still looks pretty decent. It would be interesting to try a micro-HDMI to DVI adapter, and see if you could get full 1080p HD that way. Since HDMI and DVI signals are electrically compatible (no conversion required), it should work.

+1. I'm using monitors at 1920x1080 with VGA, I even had my 360 outputting 1080p and 1080i using the VGA cable to my television.
VGA supports high resolution, it's difference is that it's an analog signal and not digital

Lol, guess were both right, in a way, depending on how you look at it. Thanks for the education!
Theroetically, DVI and HDMI should both do 1080p no problem. In fact you can get HDMI to DVI cables usually used from going from a computer into a tv... only issue is it does not pass through the sound.

well i went a head and contact accell and they told me to return the unit as it seems is defective.i went and bought the asus micro to vga converter and it worked right away when plugged in.so it seems that the accell converter was not working from micro hdmi to vga but from hdmi to vga was.im happy since i need it for tonight for a church presentation.so amazon here it goes back this accell defective thing.

[Q] Malata dock and HDMI to VGA output

Has anyone tried to use the malata dock with an HDMI to VGA cable?
The dock works fine outputting to an HDMI TV, but I've tried to use an HDMI to VGA cable and I don't get an output on a monitor. Ideally I want to use this on a VGA projector, anyone had any sucess with this...?
BTW, big hand to itsteve for being such a good sport and organising the import and sale of these for us!
Funny you should ask.
My fiance is a teacher and the projectors at her school have VGA ports. Most of what i saw on the web were Displayport to vga, $100+, Bulky, Needed external PS, or had poor reviews.
I found a HP adapter that actually worked, and didnt have any of the negatives i mentioned.
HP NP031AA#ABA $40 right from HP. (I would link, but I am to new (under 8 posts), and it wont let me)
It arrived yesterday. Plugged it in to the dock, and into my vga cable, booted up and it simply worked!
Hope this helps.
Fantastic, thanks! I'll order one and give it a try. Thanks again.

No, I don't think it will. I don't think you can transfer from a digital to an analog signal without some type of converter device. That's what the HP probably does.
I've tried the cable on it's own and I don't get any output (I thought it would work but alas not). I guess you do need to have some form of D2A conversion, not sure what the cable actually does do though as clearlky there is an HDMI and VGA connector on it...!

To make a long story short, HDMI is digital and VGA is analogue.
Straight through cables (like the ones linked above) will only work if :
- the GTab can send analogue HDMI (very less likely).
- your projector can accept digital signal via VGA input (very less likely).
The cable above would work in rare scenarios where devices are already able to send the proper signal.
In 99% of the other scenarios you will need an extra hardware (converter) to convert the digital HDMI output of the dock to analogue VGA input of the projector.
These devices aren't that pricey (yet not that cheap) plenty of options on ebay ($40 shipped worldwide).
Hope that answers your question ..

HDMI to R.G.B/R.C.A adapter,connect TF to your TV which hasn't a HDMI interface..

Well.. I haven't this one untill now. But i want to know if there are any body has the same idea with me.
A simple cable adaptor will not work, because for that to work, Asus has to specially support outputting a compatible composite analogue signal through their HDMI connector, which I don't think they will. However, they have announced a standard VGA adaptor, with that you can connect an analog TV with a VGA input. If you have an even older TV, then you'll have to use a HDMI to RCA converter box like this.
Like above, you'll need an active digital to analog converter cable (it either is a box or requires some batteries with a bulky part in the middle), since the Transformer only outputs digital signal (speculated). With the VGA adapter becoming available, you can go VGA Adapter -> VGA to RCA and it should work (I'm assuming the VGA adapter will also output sound with RCA or 3.5mm jack)
there must be a build in analog signal within the HDMI output, because the adapter is only a cable. and i dont think there isnt any converter in the HDMI VGA cable.
i think these two will perfect match for our problem:

Yes, a standard HDMI output is purely digital, but I think Transformer's HDMI output is designed to be reconfigured to output an analog VGA signal as well (a port is just a set of pins, you can output just about anything as long as the underlying hardware supports it; like some phones can output a HD video signal through a USB port etc.. ). I say this because photos of the announced mini HDMI to VGA adaptor is too small to be an active converter.
I have a hdmi to component and VGA converter at home,
So can test this for you tomorrow when I get home,
There isn't any reason why a adapter won't work,
To get a analogue signal then the VGA adapter for the transformer connects to the data port at the bottom,

HDMI Cable quick review

Just received my HDMI cable (http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=&products_id=27)from electronicCrap, it works perfectly. It also works as a DVI cable for connecting to business projectors (without sound of course) with a small adapter such as this: http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-ADP-3780-Female-Adapter/dp/B0018QTWH2
Great product if you need to do presentations or anything. Just be aware that most apps are fairly low resolution (ie will look pixelated) even if the tablet is outputting a full 1080p signal.
The only minor issue is the connector to the gTab, which is a bit bulkier than what is pictured on his site. This could be a problem with some cases, but it works well with mine (the FUSE).
Update 7/23:
-Cable works great on 1080p monitors and TVs.
-HW accelerated apps display at much higher resolution. Everything else is 1024x600 with poor (pixelated) scaling.
-Cable may not work on 720p TV's.
-May not display HW acclrrated 1080p properly on 720p TV even if other things work
-Audio is stereo only as far as I and others can tell. Does android as a platform even support 5.1?
roberto188 said:
Just my two cents since receiving this cable.
I have successfully used the cable on my...720p TV with a Froyo, Gingerbread, and Honeycomb rom...games designed for the tegra chip look great also...Software decoded movies suffer from ... pixelation. I have not been able to determine if the HDMI cable or the tegra chip for that matter can process and pass 5.1 audio channels, but regular stereo audio works...
...some [720p] TVs can handle the 1080p input and scale it down, while others cannot.
Lastly, playing a 1080p movie will not output to a 720p TV. For one reason or another when I played both Divx and H264 in 720p or other lower resolutions it showed up fine on my TV, however both Divx and h264 1080p movies just displayed a blank screen while they played fine on the display on the gtab.
Hope this helps some people...

Actually the dock is $43 shipped world wide (with CC "welcome").
And beside the HDMI cable you get a supplementary charging solution, stand, 2 USB port and LAN port.
I got this cable, but it is not working for me. I have a 720p plasma and am wondering if the Gtab output does not work with 720p TVs. I know the Gtab is detecting the HDMI connection because the sound goes off on the Gtab. But on the TV, all I get is a blank screen saying no signal.
Information to add
Just my two cents since receiving this cable.
I have successfully used the cable on my 50 inch Samsung 720p TV with a Froyo, Gingerbread, and Honeycomb rom. Any graphics that are NOT accelerated by the tegra chip looks VERY pixelated, so bad its almost unusable. However watching movies on a Froyo rom using the hardware decoder look VERY NICE! Also games designed for the tegra chip look great also, ie. Riptide rush. Software decoded movies suffer from the same horrible pixelation. I have not been able to determine if the HDMI cable or the tegra chip for that matter can process and pass 5.1 audio channels, but regular stereo audio worked on my TV. If anyone knows if 5.1 channel audio can be passed I'd love to know.
Additionally, I could NOT get the cord to work on my 32 inch Samsung. I think some TVs can handle the 1080p input and scale it down, while others cannot.
Lastly, playing a 1080p movie will not output to a 720p TV. For one reason or another when I played both Divx and H264 in 720p or other lower resolutions it showed up fine on my TV, however both Divx and h264 1080p movies just displayed a blank screen while they played fine on the display on the gtab.
Hope this helps some people and I hope we can get some graphics acceleration for Honeycomb soon...heard someone has a Notion Ink kernel with full graphics acceleration, can that be ported to the gtab?
updated op. cable works great for me on 1080 screens. yes, 30 is a lot for only hdmi. but it is compact and easy to carry compared to the dock. basically we are paying for the r&d costs. I am just glad this thing exists.
Does the cable work with honeycomb roms? And does the power have to be plugged in for the cable to work? I'm having no luck with video showing up on my tv with the HDMI cable hooked up. I running gtabcomb atm.

You needn;t plug the power in. Just connect your Gtablet to your TV via HDMI cable. But i don;t know if it is work with Honeycomb roms..

Connecting transformer to vga projector

I have an ASUS Transformer and a ShowWX Classic Laser Projector. The laser projector comes with a VGA dock that allows you to connect it to a VGA device. I purchased an ASUS branded adapter/converter for HDMI and VGA (specifically, mini HDMI to VGA). It connects to the device fine, and the projector seems to recognize that something is there...but it says unsupported video.
This may be because the resolutions are wrong. The projector supports WVGA (848x480) resolution. I think the transformer's resolution has to be set to this, and force it out of HDMI somehow. My device is rooted.
Any advice? Thanks.

In troubleshooting this, here's the next step I'd take:
1) Instead of connecting the projector, connect to a VGA monitor. Usually, VGA monitors have a bit more range in supported resolutions. If you can get a picture on the monitor, you are on the right track. You can fiddle with the resolution to get something compatible.
One thing that's important to remember is that converting HDMI to VGA is a signal-conversion process. HDMI is digital and VGA is analog. Converting from one to the other is not a simple physical thing like using a gender-changer, coupler, or y-adapter. The signal needs to be processed and converted. There is no such thing as a passive (i.e. unpowered) signal converter. Just because you can get a physical adapter that allows you to connect one to the other is most often NOT sufficient. Some laptops that have only HDMI also put out an analog signal on some of the HDMI pins. This is to be used in conjunction with a passive HDMI -> VGA adapter. Remember that this only works because the device has been built to support a passive adapter. To my knowledge, the Prime does not fall into this category.

Possible to output analog signal over HDMI? For heads up display

Hi all,
I'm constructing a heads up display using a pair of MyVu Crystals I have laying around. My problem is that I've only got an iPod connector cable and a standard RCA red, white, and yellow connector. There are HDMI to RCA cables on ebay but in order to use them without a converter, the signal over the HDMI port has to be analog.
Before I buy one, can anyone tell me if the HDMI port on the Photon is capable of outputting such a signal?
Many thanks!

HDMI to RCA cable will not work. I have tried it. I have also tried 3.5mm to RCA. My phone didnt like that and kept pulling up voice command. No display or sound at all on the tv I was trying to use.
Motorola sells an adapter (Motorla VGA Adapter $49.99) for the photon that plugs into the usb port and hdmi port simultaneously and it is says it converts HDMI to VGA to allow connection to projectors and older tv's. VGA is analog and the adapter requires no other power source. Should work if you went: MyVu>Ipod Cable>RCA TO VGA>MOTOROLA VGA ADAPTER>PHOTON.
Brilliant, I'll check that out and post the results later!
Many thanks.
I've also found this:

Think that might work? It's a fair bit cheaper than Moto's option. I just wonder about power as presumably that's what the usb port on the moto adaptor is for. On second thought, the Moto adaptor launches webtop which is likely what the USB is for. I'm thinking this HDMI one could work then? All I'm after is mirroring (largely for GPS nav).

Wow, awesome find! Only problem I can see is that you will need an micro hdmi to hdmi for it to fit the photon. You cant plug in the adapter and the access the usb port without muscling it. Might loosen up the sockets and thats no good. This one is better:
cant post link just search micro hdmi male to vga and youll find one same price range
Already has a micro hdmi end , no power supply required either. I am going to purchase this and try it out, I want to mirror my display on my 7 inch car stereo. Torque, netflix & Google navigation is going to look sick. There is no sound from this but you can run 3.5mm jack out.
Good one, didn't think to look for a micro ended one as I've already got an adaptor. I may go that way as well.
I'll make sure to pop a post up with my badass GPS driving microdisplay.
Ok, I ordered mine last night... sucks its coming from Hong Kong but Ill post up a video once I get it installed!
got the adapter.. hooked it up to a vga to rca out cable and plugged into an analog tv and got a flicker every now and then but no picture. Connected it to the Analog input on my LG 55inch LED and I get a scrolling picture in black and white only. Will try a couple different cables, the rca cable on the adapter looks like it might also take a 3.5mm jack also has a svideo out, havent tried to hook up to car yet but will and will report back.

Got my micro HDMI to VGA adaptor from Hong Kong today. Works perfectly!
I'm still waiting on the VGA to S-Video/RCA so will report back.
Maybe you've got a problem with an unsupported resolution? RCA can only go up to 640x480 right? Is there any way we can force the mirroring resolution to go lower?
Yes, Mirror resolution.apk and some modding. Look in Hybrid rom thread, there is link for that.
Thanks mate.
I'll give it a go and report back. I got my VGA to RCA converter and like the other poster have no picture. Will report back after using the resolution fix.
Cheers.
