Video Out  and iPod

If you have one of those 30pin to RCA stereo & composite video cables. Will the iPod app output a video image of the current song album art, or will the app only do video out for actually watching videos?
I've got an interface I was going to install that makes me be able to control my iPod playback on my iPhone using my car's native stereo controls (it is done using the CD Changer port on the cars stereo). But my car also has RCA input jacks for composite video and audio. I love the MotionX GPS app and think it would be cool to see the GPS screen on my iPhone on my car's screen. So I was thinking of just using the RCA jacks combined with an RF or bluetooth remote control. But if I can't see any song information via the composite video out, then forget it.

i believe the video out would only work when playing videos and nothing else. this is because it would be impossible to control the iPhone from your car stereo unless they created a complete interface to work with the iPhone, and the only way to do that would be to get code from apple and i doubt that will ever happen...

  • What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring?

    What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring? I can't get iPhone 4 video to work on my TV screen
    I have just bought an MD098ZM/A (Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter). I am struggling to get it to show a picture on my TV. I know I'm doing something right because the audio is coming out of my TV speakers but no picture on the TV screen.
    I have used the same HDMI channel (on the TV side) with the same cable and my thunderbolt port (MacBook Air) without any trouble - and on the same app (BBC iPlayer download then full-screen mode).
    Now I note that the packaging for the MD098ZM/A says video-out on iPhone 4 but mirroring only on iPhone 4S. I only have an iPhone 4 (not the 4S). Now if the lack of iPhone 4 support for mirroring means that I can't play video material out to my TV, then in what sense is there any video-out capability at all?
    There is only safety and warranty paperwork in the Apple adapter packaging - no help information. And I haven't found further guidance online either.
    I do note somewhere online that it suggests that basic non-mirroring video-out (for this adapter) only works with some external TV sets. Any way of finding out which? I'm using a Sanyo CE32LD90-B LCD TV if it helps.
    So far not doing very well.

    Now found these but have had to give up on this adapter!

  • S10 on SF v20z - video out and console redirection

    Hi,
    Is there a way to have both video out redirection and be able to do 'platform console' command in ALOM at the same time?
    by default, settings in eeprom are:
    output-device=screen
    input-device=keyboard
    obviously, console redirection doesn't work. (Well, actually it works fine while it boots, bios output gets sent on both places, the video out and console, until solaris boots ...)
    if I set
    output-device=ttya
    input-device=ttya
    I lose the video/keyboard switch functionality, but alom console redirection works fine.
    What am I missing? Is it possible to have both inputs and outputs active at the same time?
    Thanks for your time,
    Honza

    After installing, I needed to get into single user mode then run the Xfree86 configuration utility to properly detect and use the video card. I can't remember the exact command line, but it's something like /usr/X11/bin/xfconfig or something similar. After that, the video worked fine.

  • Video out from ipod classic

    OK, so I have an Ipod Classic. I jsut got the DYNEX IPAVC cable, and that doesnt work (no video, audio only). I also have an Accurian Dock-same deal, no video, only audio. Ive read a bunch that the Classics require newer hardware to get video to work. However, it seems like all the cables on the apple store that should work have been discontinued? How on earth do i get the video to play on my TV? Please help...thanks....

    ill have to check that page out and see. i was on this page
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454
    and the composite and component cables say no longer available
    Apple Composite AV Cable
    (part number MB129LL)
    Apple Component AV Cable
    (part number MB128LL)
    but it looks like you are correct. thats cool.
    I had the TV Out setting to ON or ASK, and when i would do that, it would ask for the video out to be plugged in, even though they already were plugged in. I saw someone else had that same issue. I think its that these cables (The Dynex), even though they are advertised as such, do not work with the classic.
    EDIT: Is all i need the composite cable? I dont need the dock, correct?

    You are correct in thinking that the Classic does not output video signals through the headphone output.

  • Video out on ipod nano 7th generation

    I am trying to determine if I can play video out to TV with the latest ipod nano (7th gen). I found a support page( iPhone, iPad, iPod: TV out support) which suggests its possible from 3rd gen onwards but I'm not sure that page is up to date for 7th gen, especially as the suggested cables are 30 pin rather than lightning.
    If it is possible then which cable should I use? Prefer HDMI but composite or component would do.

    That is normal.

  • S-Video out and aspect ratio

    Hi,
    I'm think of getting the Apple Video adaptor for use with my Sony Widescreen TV. As I understand it, this adaptor outputs an S-video signal that mirrors the iMac's built-in display.
    Will this display in true widescreen on my TV or will it be in a 4:3 aspect ratio? Is there a way of choosing between the two?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply. I don't think my question was a clear as it could've been.
    What I really want to know is: will my iMac output s-Video that is anamorphic widescreen. i.e. will I be able to fill my TV's screen without "stretching" a 4:3 image?
    Or, is the iMac's s-Video out limited to Standard PAL or NTSC 4:3 without support for anamorphic enhancement?
    I know that the iMac supports 4:3 and 16:10, but widescreen TVs are 16:9.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Video out from iPod Classic looks "squished" on my TV

    I have a new iPod Classic which replaced a 5G video iPod. I have edited my photos in iPhoto to the 16:9 ratio to watch slideshows from my iPod on my 16:9 plasma TV using an iPod dock from Apple. Now when I hook up my new iPod to the same TV, using the same dock, the video output now looks "squished", and there are black bars above and below the image. When I watch the same slideshow on another TV using my Apple TV, the images look fine, and fill up the entire screen. Any idea why? Do I need a new dock?

    And your TV is set to "Full" or the like? I'm used to Sony HDTVs, so I don't know what the setting would be on your TV, but the largest Widescreen setting.
    That's the only thing I can think of, especially since you said when you tested it on another TV it worked. So it must be your TV and neither the iPod nor the cable. The way the iPod and cable work together really shouldn't change from TV to TV unless the TV itself has an issue.

  • Video out on iPod touch 2nd Gen - with dock?

    Hi,
    So apparently you can watch videos on your tv if you buy the universal dock for iPod touch 2nd Gen?
    How does it work and do you get RCA cables with the dock or do you need to purchase them separately?
    Does the dock come with the USB cable or is that a separate purchase as well?

    Hi,
    You only need the cable(s)-
    [Apple Composite AV Cable|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB129LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjE0NTAz OA]
    OR
    [Apple Component AV Cable|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB128LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjU4Njcw Mw]
    You can then put one of these inbetween in you wish but it is not required.
    [Apple Universal Dock|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB125G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjU4NzcxOA ]
    Comes with a remote but of limited functionality with Touch.

  • Video out on ipod touch

    I have a Sonic Impact V55 Video that I bought for my iPod video but I now have a iPod touch. I can get the music to play on it but I was wondering if the was any way to play video on it with my iPod touch via the docking station or cables and what cable I would need for that.
    Message was edited by: samed27

    unfortunately, as I just learned, the answer is no. apple has purposefully encoded the touch so that users are required to be a newer cable in order to view videos. furthermore, if you upgrade to 3.0, you will have to buy a different cable, exclusively offered by, you guessed it, apple...

  • Video podcasts and iPod Nano

    Hi everybody!
    Why can't I add video podcasts to my iPod nano 4GB ?

    no...i don't becuase, like all good marketing, they have certain products with certain features.
    Such as,
    Ipod Nano = incredibly small, album art, and a good amount of music
    ipod Video= little big but the screen needs to be big for video capabilities. They can also get more money for something like this.
    and plus if nano had video, it be hard to see...the screen is extremely small.

  • Video out for iPod Touch

    I've got a 8GB iPod Touch and want to see movies on my LCD TV, I know I need to get the NEW Apple Universal Dock, but how about cable? I have to use Apple Composite AV Cable or Apple Component AV Cable? It confuses me a lot before I made a wrong order...

    Hey Edmond,
    I also recommend getting the Apple Component AV Cable.
    This article will provide detailed information about the cable options.
