HDMI Out for videos - What else?

---

Other than for playing videos / youtube, what else kicks out on the HDMI?

UI / Photos / Games / QIK / PowerPoint Slides / Etc?

Does the video and/or system sounds come through the HDMI as well?

TIA

I'm hoping that things likst snesoid and such go theough hdmi out /pray

From looking at the SDK, it would appear that the HDMI output needs to be explicitly called so the good news is that anyone can get their app to output to the HDMI. The bad news is that probably nothing other than some of the stock / featured apps right now will probably work with it on launch day.

Just curious if HTC enabled the UI and some of the other apps to use it.

oh my god, haha that would be sick, imagine having snesoid nesoid gensoid gbcoid all in your phone then pop out an hdmi cable, hook it up to your 50" tv and then pull out a wiimote and start playing, talk about gettin an iPhone user mad... hahaha...

that was exactly my thought, though the wiimote program doesn't work with senseui

I ordered my HDMI cable so I'll tell ya'll when I get it. My assumption is only video but I also assume that we could probably find a way to add a feature to the system to output the entire system and UI. XDA has the best of the best here so I'm sure we can do it.

The only app that uses the HDMI on the Evo right now is the Gallery app for videos and slideshows

Doesn't the YouTube App use it as well? Additionally, doesn't the Browser output via HDMI when videos are played and HDMI is connected?

Okay, so sound isn't outputed also..... that really sucks if the sound isnt outputed also.

huh? but HDMI carries sound.. Maybe they changed it so it won't put it out through HDMI and only through the audio jack.
