Hey,
I've just seen a Miracast set top box from Netgear. This could be the solution to the missing HDMI out of the Nexus 7!

Can anyone remember nVidias demo?

It sais you need aNotebook, Smartphone or Tablet with Intel® WiDi oder Miracast™,
does our Nexus 7 has Inel WiDi or Miracast?
Is it just Software or do you need special Hardware Support for that?
It would be nice if i could stream from my Laptop or my Galaxy SII as well.

Did you watch the Video? The Tegra 3 can do it. I don't know more... but I hope there will be a software update to do it.

i do know the tegra 3 is miracast capable i dont think i can post a link so ill just post what i found, this is dated july 27 2012.
Nvidia, a member of the Wi-Fi Alliance, announced that it's supporting the new Miracast WiFi-Direct based protocol which is expected to launch by the Wi-Fi Alliance within the next few months.
For the uninitiated, Miracast will be an open standard, so any mobile device or display manufacturer will be able to implement the technology. It will also be a direct competitor to closed eco-systems like Intel's WiDi and Apple's AirPlay which enable users to wirelessly stream videos and games to external displays.
There are also other open standards for streaming media such as DLNA, but these are plagued with interoperability issues that have limited their traction in the market place. To address the limitations of these solutions, the Wi-Fi Alliance created its upcoming open wireless display standard called Miracast.
"Underpinning the Miracast specification is Wi-Fi Direct – a specification defined for peer-to-peer, direct wireless connectivity between devices," Nvidia said on Thursday in its whitepaper. "Miracast Certified devices will be able to connect with each other directly, without the mediation of a wireless access point, by leveraging the functionality introduced by Wi-Fi Direct. When two devices connect with each other directly, one assumes the role of the source (transmitting device) and the other becomes a sink (the devices receiving and rendering the content to the user)."
Nvidia said that it has developed a Miracast wireless display stack that is Tegra 3 optimized and can be integrated into the Tegra mobile platform. This source-side solution enables tablet and phone OEMs to implement a Miracast certifiable product by combining the Tegra application processor and compatible Tegra Android BSP package just as they do today.
"The Tegra optimized Miracast solution is comprised of two major components – the multimedia (video/audio) processing block and the industry compliant wireless display networking stack," Nvidia explained. "The multimedia processing block takes advantage of Tegra’s multi-core graphics engine and dedicated hardware video/audio codecs to accelerate the decoding of video content, render graphics surfaces and perform the final compositing operations before encoding into a H.264 bit stream to be wirelessly transmitted."
We are miracast certified, however there needs to be an app to activate this tech for us, I believe, but if they have the set top box, chances are there's an app for it, too.
All I can say is, yay! Step in the right direction. -Ara

Hopefully it isn't $99. Maybe $49. I'm not paying a ton of money just to get video to my TV. $50 tops.
How is the 3000 compared to the PTV2000 that is already available at Best Buy and stuff?
http://www.netgear.com/home/products/hometheater/media-players/PTV2000.aspx
I don't see the PTV3000 on the US site.
The PTV2000 is $99 at Best Buy. eff that.

Is this to mirror the display? Like HDMI?
Or is it just a file viewer? Like DLNA?

Miracast is a new standard for wireless display. So basically a mirrored image or maybe a second screen. I'm hoping I could widi a video and control it all with my tablet/phone.

That's how you play full hd shows/movies/music with no dramas its been around for ages. Best part is wd keep updating the firmware so it plays anything I throw at it.
Gaming well you can't do that but if you can't see the 7" screen right in front of you well you'd probably find it more beneficial to invest in glasses.
It also has some other benefits too, bubble upnp is one of the best things I have come across.

The difference is that only the ptv3000 is miracast capable. At least that's what the product page says. I've already written an email to net gear Germany to ask them about this box. As soon as I have an answer I will post it.

There you see what you can do with tegra 3 and miracast.

Got it. I didn't see the video.
So I am assuming this is the first TV Box(similar to like a Roku or something) that allows us to wirelessly display our Nexus to our HDTV? That's what I am seeing. Also it's only in Germany at the moment.
But the question is, do our Nexus 7's natively support something like this? I am assuming this needs development, like an app or software update.
Any news on this?
Not sure I see the point of this. I already have a WD Live that can stream all my video from my PC to my TV. Why would I put video on my N7, then send to my TV when I can just send it directly to my TV? Even the 16 GB N7 can maybe just barely hold a decently encoded movie at full 1080p. I just don't think I have any content on my N7 that cannot be sent to my TV in an easier, higher quality way.
Edit: Been thinking about this. Seriously, what do you use it for? The only thing I could come up with is letting your friends watch you play a game on the tablet or something. Every other scenario I can think of has a better solution.

It's not only for videos. I have a tf101 transformer and used it to give presentations at the university with HDMI out. The point is to mirror the screen content of your device and not only play back media.
And it looks promising with the low latency.

My thoughts too, I am looking forward to be able to mirror my N7 screen to my 46" TV.

Emulation Gaming. Plug your tablet up to the TV and use a PS3 gamepad for true retro couch gaming.
I don't stream movies and such, as I'd rather just watch them off the device.
I'm curious about this as well.
Here's some more info about it that I dug up from arstechnica.
In most cases, Miracast can be implemented in software alone, Robinson said. It has a head start, because Android already supports WiFi Direct since version 4.0 . But hardware modifications will help optimize devices for the type of compression, decoding, and encoding Miracast equipment will have to perform, he said.

It would be cool if there was a software update that could enable this for the Nexus 7! The Netgear box looks small and portable too.

I've been watching for (complete) Miracast solutions for a while now. This capability is already starting to play a big role in education on the iPad courtesy of AirPlay mirroring. I have no idea why other vendors are sitting on this.
Anyway, the NTV200S is supposed to be compatible with a firmware update. Some more info here:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5957/...otv-pro-ntv200s-widi-and-media-streamer-combo
Another big feature that miracast will add is the ability to display your phone's display on your tablet. This way you could always be on your tablet, but at anytime access all the features of your phone.

Looks really great on the K1!! I've been playing this on my Shield Portable and I'm loving it. I just wish more games like this were ported to the handheld.

Is this game choppy when playing on the TV?
I found many games to be choppy/dropping fps making the game stutter for 0.025 sec without a reason when playing on the built in screen...games like Dead Trigger 2, Horn, Walking Dead.
Trine 2 also feels choppy at some points (especially the intro video).
Are all the controls mapped or did you have to set up anything using the mapper? I tried Order and Chaos on my Shield portable and it was a pain. This looks pretty fun though.
Is this the same as the old one our like the new one on PC?

It depends on the map and how hectic it gets. It is generally smooth and a very enjoyable experience. I actually prefer playing on the TV through my tablet than on my PC. Just make sure it is on console mode and not mirror mode.
There are resolution sliders and performance tweaks you can turn on and off to get the experience you want. I ended up lowering the resolution and turning off shadows to get better framerates on bigger maps. I'll actually make a newer video to show the difference (I actually can't notice any difference while playing).

Controllers works without having to remap anything. There are options in-game to remap buttons if needed.

I have a question, anyone know if it's possible to use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to play this game on my shield tablet?
Not as awesome as I remember. Game is very laggy.

The game defaults to controller use with no way to set up a keyboard/mouse.
I refunded this game after playing a few matches, it lagged and it was not because of system lag it was server lag because of their stupid always online drm. I have really fast internet too 60/10 so that is pretty lame.

You only uploaded/recorded the gameplay in 720p though and not 1080 (what it is capable of over HDMI). I do appreciate the upload but for those looking to see how it looks, it will actually look even better than what's displayed in the video.
Hey guys,
Ok here is the thing, for over 3 years now I have held out on buying an Oculus rift, hoping the next few months the official customer version would be out, but that until now is yet to happen.
So I purchased the Gear VR to finally get to experience VR (since I know it wont affect me in buying the Oculus CV1) and boy am I blown away, but one thing I am dying to experience is how the world of Skyrim with its beautiful nature and giant mountains would look in VR.
Is there any way for me to shoot/screen capture a 360 and/or 3D video of game play in skyrim and view it through the gear VR to have a bit of what that experience would be like?
Thanks all :good:
There is an android app for Google cardboard being worked on to let you stream pc games in vr format to the phone, it's not natively compatible with the gear vr yet, and there is latency issues or course. It shows promise though. Your question made me wonder a follow up questtion: can someone make a pc program that let's you take a 360 photosphere video or at least photo from a game like skyrim? Like fraps, but a photosphere. That would be fantastic.

That is exactly what I was asking for
I know about the latency and stuff, and I know about the app you mentioned... I just wanted to be able to experience it much like you would watching a gameplay on youtube... except its a 360 video
Samsung are bringing out an internet explorer for the Gear VR.
It will support 360-degree and 3D video . It will also support HTML5 media playback.
Now for the question.
Will Plex work through the browser. If so, the Gear VR just got some serious extra awesomeness added.
It should be available December 2nd, so will test it as soon as it is available.
It is out now and according to others it will work on Plex.

It does work with plex. Pins have to be entered as 4 individual #s, not one four digit number. The interface is as smooth as if using any other internet browser.
The bad:
Can't get rid of blue pointer dot
Blacks looks bad
cant increase size of screen
wouldn't be able to do 3D playback.

Buy some good resolution Camera or Smartphone shoot it with high resolution and upload it
Internet usage, poor Gear VR resolution. The letters blurred.
I have found a VR which is very cheap, Free VR remote and the Seller is showing that VR box as compatible for Z Play!
Get this at just 399!
https://goo.gl/mJ6syA
You can check for VR compatibility of the device:-
https://goo.gl/OSndR0 (And yea it's fully supported!)
Had anyone tried this OR any other VR with VR remote to play VR games on z play?
I will try This VR box and share my my experience!(Shipping will take time so you guys will have to wait till the item will be shipped.
IF SOMEONE HAS TESTED ANY VR PLEASE TELL YOUR EXPERIENCE OF VR BOX ON Z PLAY WHILE PLAYING GAMES WITH VR REMOTE.
I got the VR Box 2.0 + joystick, i'm not still tested yet on my MZP, worked very nicelly on the MXF (Mot X Force), but the screens are very differents, MZP got a FullHD but the MXF has a QuadHD screen, so it was a very diference in resolution, i'm going to test today and share my experience
has anyone an idea what games works with the joystick? 'cause i don't have an idea of the games to test full the VR + Joystick

i've got this one from x-mas 2016 but i never play a game VR that use the joystick, only a few games, it's one of the best options to purchase and works very well with the Kinzie and the Addison, but I can't test the joystick, I wanna buy a ps3 controller for play games in both devices, but I can't found any game VR that use the joystick to run/walk/move/play(?) without sacrifice the movement with the gyroscope

Google Daydream app requires need to edit build prop.
VR only requires device with gyroscope sensor.
Buy this VR and you can try yourself.
Our device Screen resolution is 1920*1080 so it'll be just fine for VR.
Also, i have seen in sites and YouTube that we can get a good experience in VR from devices with 1920*1080.(And above will be fantastic)
