I want to show my Power Point presentation using Sony Tablet S. But I realize this product has no VGA out/HDMI connector. Then how to connect Sony Tablet S to common projector? Is there any adapter available?

I have never used one but from what I have read about it, HTC's DG H100 Media Link DLNA Streamer may be the solution.

That won't work. DLNA as a protocol only allows the playback of single, specific formats of media file between devices. PowerPoint presentations aren't supported, so that adapter could be used to play movies or music, but not presentations.

Understood; however, the OP can convert their PowerPoint presentation (ppt) file to a video file to solve that problem, eh?
So is it mean that Sony Tablet S is unable to play a power point presentation?

On an external screen, yes, thats unfortunately the case. Obviously, you can play the presentation on the device, but Sony has no hardware video out on the Tablet S, and DLNA can't handle a PowerPoint, unless you record it into a video file and stream it like that.
The Tablet S was designed as more of a media tablet with other tabs like the Toshiba Thrive and the Galaxy Tab a bit more business-focussed, so if you are going to be doing a lot of presentations consider one of them.

Anyone has tried this product?

There is android client version, and based on the presentation @ youtube, it's work

Theoretically would probably work, but certainly no guarantees, and the version you linked is in their phased out product section, and even the newer one doesn't seem to be available for purchase. If you could get hold of it, the demo would certainly suggest that it would work.

I've always owned Apple products so this is a little foreign to me. I've noticed DLNA 'servers' to make non-DLNA devices like the iMac make sure of DLNA... but that just sounds like a streaming cloud service?..nothing special, no?
I know the possibilities are endless.. but i'm just curious how everyone puts the cool feature to use/applying it.
not sure what u r asking.

I don't think I am understanding what you are asking, but I'll try to explain it. Apple has utilised streaming to devices using their own proprietary tools. This ensures that it will always work, because Apple has designed it but the problem is, not all devices support the "Apple" standard and Apple won't let all of them do such.
DLNA is a standard that allows you to share media over a network with a wide variety of devices.
A couple examples of devices that support DLNA
HDTV's (With WiFi or NIC Cards)
Google TV
Playstation 3
XBOX 360
Newer DVD and Blu-Ray Players
Windows Media Player
Boxee
Roku
There are more, but this is just an example. With the Galaxy S II I decided to do a test when trying to drain my battery and I was curious as to how much it could handle, this also can give you an idea of some potential that you can use DLNA for.
In my SGSII I have a 32GB Class 2 MicroSD card. On it I keep a selection of Music and HD Movies. From my SGSII I started up the DLNA Sever, then I started playing a movie on it. I fired up my Google TV and started streaming a HD Movie on that, then my PS3. I decided to truly push the limits and then started streaming on my Desktop, Laptop, and my Eee Pad Transformer.
In a 1 Bedroom apartment, that's overkill, but think about it like this. You go to someone's house for a party, and want to share your music. They have multiple devices in multiple rooms and you have a large varied collection. You can use your phone on their WiFi Network as the media device. Offering up different music in different rooms. That's where the value in DLNA can come from.
Hi, i think that this italian source's good. Take this guide (use Google Translate if you don't understand), it's very clear: Guide to DLNA with Android
What do u think about it?
I use DLNA to send music from my phone to my Sony TV. It does video also

Omg, Is there any way to use the Windows Home Server ( WMC ) with this tablet?
I am able to connect from tablet to pc I can play the music I have stored on my harddisk so thats not the problem but I don't see my tablet quite frustrating,
Because my pc doesn't have the VAiO Server it isn't able to stream music by one click also my XBOX360 can not be used in that order,
PS3 - yes ofcourse that works for me vice versa Duuh Sony system.
Sony Experia S - Again no problem again duuh Sony system.
Samsung Galaxy S2 - a little weird but it is working but not worth it.
Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1v - Not working but thats not necessary.

I'm honestly not sure what's going on since I'd never even heard of Vaio server. To provide an overview that might help:
DLNA is a universal protocol implemented by many modern products and is not a Sony-specific thing (although Sony had a big part in designing it). When using DLNA, a device is usually considered a server, player (aka renderer) or controller but many devices combine these roles. For example, the Sony is both a renderer (when using the DNLA app) and a server (when using the Music app's Throw function for example).
What I think you were saying is that you can't play the media stored on your tablet from your WMC. If this is the case, it's because the Tablet S's DLNA implementation is on-demand. From the device, you need to open a video or song in Sony's Video Player or Music app, and then choose the Throw option. From there, any of your DLNA renderers on the network should appear as an option. If you want to be able to browse your Tablet's content and play media directly, try installing something like iMediaShare on your Tablet.
Windows support for DLNA is a bit shaky. Windows Media Player 11 can act as a server but requires configuration for each device you want to play to. Your best bet is to install a third-party DLNA-compliant server (such as PS3 Media Server, TVersity or similar) on your WMC, then it should appear as a server in your Tablet S's DLNA application.
If you could try and be a little clearer as to what exactly wasn't working and what you're trying I should be able to help out a bit more.
Yes I tought a VAiO Server was nessasary but it aint or should i say there isn't any,
I think I misread something on the internet and yes for example
When I play a song om my tablet and want my pc to play that song too, Where DLNA was made for, but I geuss only Sony Certified devices are supported, I am going to try iMediaShare maby that will give me more info thanks for your reply +1!
I didnt think DLNA worked overly well on the ps3 with a tablet s?
Least not the throw ablity?
Out of interest does anyone know any good apps to supplement the tablets dlna?
I d love to be able to browse my NAS using the tablet, or browse the web and throw the content to my tv using the ps3

Okay, this is getting very confusing, but I'll try and help Narzsa
You can use something like iMediaShare and then you can browse the Tablet S from the PS3's XMB. If you don't need the browse function, throwing music or videos should work, but I haven't tried it personally. If your NAS is DLNA-capable (required no matter which direction or what function you're using) then you should be able to see the NAS in the included DLNA app, and then browse to the content you want.
Unfortunately, Web content is a whole different deal. Unless the Web content you're talking about is a video file with a direct link that can be opened in the stock Video Player app, then it's not possible. In that specific case, using the Throw button and choosing your TV should work okay.
If you have any other Q's try and be very specific as to what you're trying to do
Yeah its hard to get this done
But I haven't lost hope (yet). xD its hard to understand all those hard sentences because of the language
barrier, so I have to find out somewere else in dutch for example, I do understand English but its getting
too hard with all this together xD # Feeling little embarrassed
Thanks for your help I certainly can do something with this info so I will do my best +1 "Again"

Bugger, so the throw ablity is only available in the stock app? I take it there is no way to extend its supported file formats as its immensely limited and wont play half of my stuff
No problem Mahaco, sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
And Narzsa, yes, the Throw function is a custom Sony addition as Android's stock apps do not include DLNA functionality. There is no way to extend the stock app's compatible video files. The stock version uses a hardware decoding function for reliability and efficiency and is therefore limited to the video file types that the hardware supports (found here).
Your only option would be to hope that there is a third party (software-decoding) video player with DLNA built-in. I haven't seen one personally, but there might be one so try searching the Play Store.
PS:All my videos are nicely encoded for my multiple devices, so I can use the stock player, hence I'm not too sure about the third-party ones
Bugger, nearly all of my stuff wont run on the tablet (though it will for the ps3 funnily lol)
Any one know of any good third party replacement software for the stock app?
ES file explorer works well for me. With multiple video handling applications I chose which one is best for each file,

Install Bubble upnp on your tablet, this lets you view/browse all your files from the PS3 media server/ (or install something like Serviio on your pc and point it at your NAS), select one and play to your tv, (assuming it's DLNA), or playing the file on the tablet, although you'll need a decent videoplayer app like Diceplayer rather than the rubbish stock one.
I use Bubble UPNP with MX Video to render from PS3 Media Server. Bubble UPNP also includes a built-in server for offerring, but I haven't use that function yet.
A couple of guys in the office have recently gotten iPads & the boss is now talking about getting a couple of iTV's for the meeting rooms - to compensate for the fact that they never put proper IT infrastructure in there...
Will it be possible for me to connect with my TP? I'd hope to be able to flick through images, show & mark up .pdf's and possibly open some CAD files on the telly screen. Being able to use YouTube & play movies would be a bonus...

You didn't use use google didn't you?

One option would be doubleTwist with the optional AirSync plug-in (which adds the Airplay functionality). Otherwise, you could just mirror the Prime's display using the micro hdmi output directly to the television for a wider choice of content.

But this doesn't mirror the Prime's screen, which is what I'd like to be able to do. AFAIK that isn't currently possible. Correct me if I'm wrong. We have an AppleTv in one of our conference rooms at work and I would like to link to it for presentations, etc.
Thanks for the responses. It seems that the solution I'm looking for does not exist. Shame... I will however install one of the airplay apps & see how that works out.

I do actually. Do you understand the question I asked, because your link doesn't answer my question...
If you have a 3rd Gen Apple TV then doubletwist doesn't work with Video. It works well with Audio. I had a case going on with doubletwist where they ended up refunding me the cost of the Airsync plug in as it wasn't working as it was supposed.
I think with 2nd Gen Apple TV you might be alright, but I haven't tried it.
I was trying out an app called 'iMediaShare' or something of the likes the other day. I was able to go through photos, videos, music (as long as it is stored on your device and not in gMusic), and youtube over an Apple TV. Looking through it, I do not see any way to go through PDFs or CAD designs though. For everything, your best bet as of now would be to use the mini HDMI and find separate apps for everything.
I have tried both AppleTV media player & iMedia player, but I cannot even see the Apple TV in the devices list. Its a third gen...

Sony Tablet S aka Sony SGPT111US/S
Hey guys, I started to realize the limitations of "throwing" because you have to throw within the Video Player videos you've saved or downloaded. We do a lot of streaming sites, so I guess mirroring is what we need.
A sony rep told me that those micro usb to HDMI adapters will not work. So I would like to know if there are solutions to what I want to do? Is there a hack or something to make micro usb to HDMI adapters work? Or, an app that would allow MIRROR DISPLAY?
PLease advise, thank you.
No working solutions for what I want to do?

The Sony Tablet S does not incorporate the necessary hardware to provide MHL USB to HDMI output. The tablet does provide, as you know, some DLNA capabilities with a few of its native apps. Perhaps other apps like DLNA Server, Streambels AirPlay/DLNA Player, or BubbleUPnP UPnP/DLNA will meet your needs.

I recently bought an MHL adapter for my Z2 tablet but I can't play any purchased Google Play movies or shows on my TV. I just get an on screen message on the tablet saying that "premium content cannot be played on this screen as it is not secure". I have a fairly modern (5 years old) LG television with HD capabilities so I am not sure why this is happening.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
It's built into the software. They want you to buy a Sony bluray or Sony TV to watch Sony unlimited movies on a big screen! One of the many reasons people avoid buying movies using proprietary systems. If it's a movie you bought using video unlimited you are sh!t out of luck I'm afraid. If it's a divx you have downloaded via torrents etc, try other apps like mx player, Mobo player or vlc player.
If your TV supports wifi direct you may want to try that, but I expect it will produce the same results.

It's just frustrating that Google claim you can watch anything bought through them via MHL on a TV, only for Sony to prevent it in their software.
Interestingly, I found today that I can play the content via the YouTube app instead which solves the problem I suppose but it still irritates me that I have to go around the houses to play things I have actually bought!

Fortunately you don't need to run Sony's OS at all - at least they let you unlock the bootloader. I'm running PAC ROM at the moment, and I don't miss any feature.

I assumed it was a video you had bought from Sony. If you bought it via Google play I'm sure there are loads of options documented on the Internet that let you play it however you want.
