Pixel Video-in options - Google Pixel Accessories

Hello guys,
Does anyone know here if it is possible to send video through the USB-C on the Pixel? Preferably with HDMI
I know it's a weird request but this feature would really help me in creating an app I'm thinking about.

Are you trying to input video to the pixel or have the pixel output video?

Input video to the Pixel in 1080p 60fps
I know output is possible for basically any device.

I used a febon 100 but it was only 480p
Febon does make and HDMI video grabber now ...I'm sure you could email or check there website for true specs.
Not sure how well OTG works with type either ....

Probably does not work too well, judging from the videos.
Anyone know if the USB-C on the Pixel can receive HDMI-IN?

Pixel doesn't support HDMI out, so I don't imagine the reverse would be possible.

somewhere in the settings is the option to enable media link. to get it to start sending video, i think that it's either three fingers swipe down, or up.
sort of this
Holy crap! Praise science! I must have it. What is the performance and highest quality of video that it supports?

That's my big question. What video codecs are supported? What is the highest quality will be supported? Can I use it as a generic DLNA adapter for other non-HTC phones?

HDMI output - possible to increase pixel density?

Hi there,
I'm looking for the cheapest Android phone with HDMI output I can. It seems to be the Neo, but I hear bad things about the output only being at about 480p and looking poor when upscaled on TV.
Is it possible to increase this with a custom ROM?
If not, can anyone recommend a similarly cheap phone that outputs at 720p?
Hoping to use phone for UPnP with my TV.

The output is in 720p (1280x720), not 480p.

HDMI works only on stock ROMs, as Sony didn't release the HDMI source code for devs
Hope I helped!

Did a bit more digging apparently it's upscaled from 854x480...
Hey buddy, you can get an Xperia P
It's a medium-range phone like Neo, has Dual Core processor and HDMI output
It's not the cheapest thing out there, but it's not as expensive as a SGS3 or a Xperia S and has some decent hardware.

1080p video output/mirror?

So, I updated to ICS and wanted to try out webtop on my HDTV via a micro HDMI cable I bought, it gets into webtop just fine but the issue is that it is at 600x800 resolution and I can hardly read the words, the resolution option in display settings is also greyed out so I cannot change the resolution, this also happens with mirror mode, is it a hardware related issue? I'm on the stock pshasiaretail ROM with root access.

Hi ahzhang,
I've notices the same 'issue'. The resolution is far far away from fullhd.
Unfortunatly i think there is nothing we can do about it.

Seriously? I remember seeing on moto's forums that this can output 1080p or 720p, I have also got it to 1080p once, not sure how I got it to work but it was sure damn full hd
I have tried too. I was able to enable the resolution menu and to set full hd 1080p.
But even if the final resolution is 1080p the phone starts with a very low resolution and the interpolates it to 1080p and sends it to the tv.
So I cannot see real 1080p photos or video or webtop.

Ciao Marco
With the Razr/Razr maxx we are in the same situation: webtop 3.0 is locked to max 1280x720. When I select 1920x1080 on my native FullHD 22" (same display I use for my home pc) I got a upscaled 720p->1080p which looks worst than when I select 720p (less blury)

Thanks, I will check it now.

Stuttering when using Chromecast

When casting from eg. Play Music sound stutters like he... when doing something else on the tablet. Anybody else experiencing this? Not same on my N5.
Hopefully just not optimised. Could should be much more powerful on N9...

When u stream it to chromecast, does it change the display aspect ratio to fit the TV?
No, picture on TV is 4:3
Stuttering disappeared after reboot. Will test some more.

So there is letterboxing on the sides when in landscape? :s
Yes
Of course only when mirroring display, not from Netflix etc
Dam thats really unfortuante
Also have u tried using Slimport instead of Chromecast?
*edit*
If you go into an app does it still stay 4:3? I should be getting my N9 today and i didn't even consider this when screen mirroring

I don't have a slimport device. U need specific hardware, don't you?

Is it possible to enable DisplayPort in XZ1

Hi, i have a Type-C to Hdmi adapter which is have DisplayPort Alt Mode support. When i plug in to my device, nothing happens. I searched for Hdmi, Dp, usb in root folders but couldnt find anything to activate it.
XZ1 doesn't support HDMI or DP output by a dongle. This was officially confirmed in the Sony-host forums.

Xz1 supports Dp by the hardware but blocked by software. Please read carefully. I want to activate. Not get it by an update or official stuff.
Up! Be helpful!

In my opinion, they were using chromecast to mirror the display on that monitor. See the following screenshot:

PS sorry, I cannot post direct links yet, I am new.

Hmh it's questionable issue...
I'm not sure but does that signature appears only when you use chromecast? Or it pop up when you start mirroring screen in every way including adapter?
BTW Someone on reddit found same video:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/8jxmmq/hdmi_support_on_xperia_xz1/
I'm interested to connect multi function USB-C adapter (rj45, card reader, USB 3, VGA dsub, hdmi, minijack 3,5 mm) to my
XZ1C. I don't want to bring my heavy laptop when I have PowerPoint presentation
I have possiblity to test on either xz1 (someone form my family will borrow me that phone for test)
Both devices has unlocked bootloader and LOS16 installed with magisk flashed. That's why I'm interested to enable this function, with root I have possiblity to edit some system files.
(or it'll be just working, why lineageos developers may block this function?)
Here is my thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...cessories/xz1-compact-micro-computer-t4005629
It'd be great if you join with your knowledge
Now I wait for extra money to buy advanced adapter, or someone to do instead of me.

This icon should appear only when using chromecast, if I remember well. I still have my Nexus 7 and a slimport adapter laying around, I will check if it is true.
To my knowledge, basically the XZ1 should have the functionality disabled in the kernel like Google did on its Pixel 4.
I am very interested in it too, but I had too little time to spend on this research. Hopefully, I should have some days off to investigate on this matter (thanks a lot, COVID-19) :angel:
HDMI out via DisplayLink Presenter app and a DisplayLink dongle

Hello, I saw your post here about getting HDMI working on the XZ1 Compact and was just wondering if you could help?
You mentioned you got it working using "DisplayLink Presenter" and a DisplayLink dongle. I'm not sure what a DisplayLink dongle is.

You need an dongle or a docking station which includes a DisplayLink chip. I use this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wavlink-Adapter-External-Supports-Resolution/dp/B076SX73LY/

„DISPLAYLINK CERTIFIED (dl-3500 chipset), you could Download the driver from this link: www.displaylink.com. If you have connected to USB3.0 devices, the resolution is adjustable and the maximum resolution can be up to 2048x1152 , if you have connected to USB2.0 devices Resolution 800x600 @ 60Hz.“
It‘s working on 1080p @ 30Hz for me!
