Third party Samsung-"PDMI" accessories

[dhanjel]

Is any third party accessories announced that utilizes the port on the Galaxy Tab?
(It is similar to PDMI, but not compatible, right?)

I would love to see an adapter to connect usb-devices such as usb memory sticks and digital cameras for backup as well as a hdmi output cable.

Hi


I am also trying to find out more on this matter to make my own "real" hdmi cable for the Tab or experiment with other fun features as sub stick adapter...

The port seems to be a fully PDMI port, don't know if USB 3.0 signaling is there though.
The Dell Streak also use PDMI connector.

PDMI info:

USB on tge go OTG:

Displayport info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort
http://www.displayport.org/cms/sites/default/files/downloads/DisplayPort_Technical_Overview.pdf


The PDMI connector features a 2 lane Displayport adapter.
To convert from this adapter You would need a chip that can convert dual lane Displayport to HDMI as most readily adapters use 4 lane Displayport AC level conversions as this chip:'

This is the Displayport convert chip we want to use:

This is just a quick summary.
The first thing we need is to find a suppier of PDMI contacs instead of ripping apart expensive charger cables to test with.

Other devices that uses PDMI connector:
Dell Streak
Slacker G2

thanks to zab... i finally get a useable tab... all my questions have been anwered :0)

now lets start workin.... i m going to make a stand for mobile and outdoor use.
there are some cheap solar battery extenders out now...
i think video without hdmi should do its job.... look at those tiny mini beamers :0) i own one :0)
ok... now lets reactivate my braincells... hits from the.... .... ....

edit: after a short look at my samsung usb cable..... i have to say its not pdmi standard. :0(
shame on samsung! there are 7 pins used in my cable... ok only 23 left... grrrr

What is the pinout You have measured then?

And does anyone have the videocable so they can measure the pinout on it?

I don't wanna sacrifise my cable until I have a spare one. I've already lost it once and the battery lasts for 3 days. After that it was a long wait until I found it again as I haven't found any spare cable here in Norway yet in the stores.

Belkin have a hdmi cable you can order.
Don't now exactly how it looks, hope it's just transforms the pdmi to a hdmi port where you can mount a standard hdmi cable. But it almost seems like item will be a mini hdmi import.
Have ordered one, hope i will have it ibm some days

thanks, i'm going to take a look at this.

edit: nooooooooo!!! you bought an mini hdmi to hdmi cable.... its for the dock... oh man.

there is no pdmi. not in your cable and not in the tab too.

...i was searching in some other forums last night.
it looks like the dell streak has got the only real pdmi pin assignment.

when i look at my tab usb cable the pins that are used are:

3,4 then 7,8 + 15,16 and finally... pin 30 !? ...perhaps they where drunken when doin this...
comparing to pdmi-wiki and dells it looks like samsung only used the size (you can plug it in the dell tablet) but fully messed around the assignment so most of users have to buy a piece of sh... for 50 bucks.... wow!!!

.... ... i bought fruid-salad but i only taste apples.... .... thanksung!

It's NOT a PDMI connector, Samsung have altered it so it's mechanically compatible, but not electrically.

We don't have any specs on the actual pinouts of the Tab connector yet as far as I'm aware.

ROFL that's some hilarous shi* man, you got twitter account? You're thoughts are mind blowing lol

Only if you had the official dock which has the hdmi out, perhaps you get a better idea how this works?
