Sansa e200 Video-out

(1/2) > >>

grossaffe:
I read that the chip used by the sansa e200 supports a video-out feature so you could potentially watch your videos on a tv or something, is it possible for rockbox to implement this or are there other hardware components missing that are necessary for this to be possible?

saratoga:
You would need physical hardware to create an Svideo/composite signal.

grossaffe:
i thought it might be possible to do it through the head-phone jack (granted i don't know much about how rockbox works) since they use the same signals as composite does.

elborak:
The headphone jack uses "the same signals as composite does"?  Sorry, no.

grossaffe:
then why is it that the same plugs can be used to transfer video to other devices?  i have a TV tuner for my GBA that uses a single standard headphone jack to import audio and video?  if i plug in a Y cable (two composite on one end, headphone on other) and plug in a video cable to one connector and an audio cable to the other connector it works?  why can it output video and audio using the same standard headphone jack?
