dudewheresmybass Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) hi chaps A venue I'm taking one of my bands to use this system to project a logo behind us whilst we play, and I'm trying to work out how to do it I can work most audio things through - but video is still a mystery to me lol If this is not the right place, please excuse me - I couldn't work out the best place to post LOL Any help gratefully received 👍🤘 Cheers Edited June 5, 2023 by dudewheresmybass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDean Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Shouldn't be too hard with an adaptor or two depending on your tablet. Have a read of this: https://www.airdroid.com/screen-mirror/how-to-connect-tablet-to-tv-using-usb-cable/ You can try it out on your TV. If it works on that, it'll be fine at the gig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigguy2017 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Simplest way is using an HDMI cable (IF your tablet can manage an HDMI output) - what tablet? what connections? If you can find an HDMI adapter for the tablet then a cable should work. With no HDMI out there is Miracast IF the projector supports this (which it probably won't) - what projector? You may be able to Miracast/Airplay (if tablet can( to a Miracast/HDMI adapter at the projector, but there's a lot of 'ifs' ... Something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/AT-Mizhi-Wireless-HDMI-display-adapter-Black/dp/B08T22S76M/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3I37DXD9Z7PNG&keywords=miracast%2Badapter%2Bhdmi&qid=1686048719&sprefix=mirrorcast%2Badapter%2Bhdmi%2Caps%2C70&sr=8-4&th=1 A laptop with an HDMI out is much more likely to work.

dudewheresmybass Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 I asked about this, and they supply as far as the hdmi cable. I would need to provide the source be it laptop or tablet. I’m still trying to work out the merits of each system and what tech I have to hand 😉👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekomatic Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 You can get little ‘media player’ gadgets that take a memory card and play whatever movies or images are on it out to an HDMI socket. Here’s one for example (not a specific recommendation though). Strangely they seem to be less common and more expensive now than a few years ago though, at least on UK eBay. Maybe nowadays everyone just uses their phone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 @nekomatic I managed to find a media player on ebay, which should hopefully negate the need to carry a laptop everywhere. Thanks for the heads up on that 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
