You also need to be using iPhone/iPod firmware 1.1.1 at least. There are video out support/controls supported.do i have to change something in the settings? im getting no picture. sound only
I'd started this thread about it a ways back...i was talking about doing this just last night. Once cabled_up will it display whatever's on the iPhone, like displaying the Safari screen for example?
So why can I not also display the iPhone interface and other applications on the video out if I desire?! Why just movies and pictures?! DUMB Apple!
:-(
I wonder though, if it has something to do with resolution, etc. I personally never got an Apple TV because it didn't support composite. I thought this was a BONEHEADED move by Apple, and I still do. I do wonder however, if it had anything to do with effectively taking a computer's picture and adapting the resolution to a composite signal. For instance, I believe the video-out on the iPhone/iPod has NEVER showed any sophisticated on-screen controller graphics. Makes me think there's more to it for non-video content.Tell me about it. If Apple eventually supports 3rd party apps, and Quickview for mobile OSX, we would be looking at an excellent solution for mobile presentations on iPhone. Even Google docs support for iPhone would be a huge boone in that general direction... Leap frogging Windows Mobile/Mobile Office (which I believe is currently only read-only for Powerpoint presentations) in a heartbeat.
I never got a chance to confirm whether 1.1.1 made iPhone/iPod compatible with existing 30 pin connector video solutions (I had an excellent video dock I gave away with my iPod), but I'm pretty certain that video-out through the headphone jack simply does not work AT ALL on any of the newer iPod family devices.yeah, im using the headphone jack with the av cord. Is there another way?
it works fine for my ipod video 30g
The first reviewer notes that this cable doesn't even work with the new iPod Classic either.This accessory is compatible with the following:
iPod with color display
iPod with video
Please note this cable works to display video only on iPod Photos and iPod video (5G and earlier), not the latest iPod Classic. For that, you need to get the new Apple Composite AV cable which plugs into the dock connector (bottom) and not the headphone jack (on top).
It's $49 more, but at least it comes with an adapter that you can use as a wall charger when you don't have access to a laptop or PC to charge, which is handy when traveling
Can you play movies from iphone on your television? (via av connection)
