TV Out - Which ROM & Cable are you using?

[liqn7]

Hi guys,

I'm about to get my Captivate next week.

Just wondering which ROM and cables are you using to make this work?

Does it work on the Cognition Froyo ROMs for example?

Would this cable work?

For .99c you can give that cable set a try, but I tried the cable that came with my old Nokia N95 and it didn't work...so I ordered the cable on the Samsung site for $19.95 and guess I'll see what happens

This is what I bought. They're $0.39. Any ROM will do.

I'm using Cognition Beta 9 and using the cables provided from the second generation Zune dock.

ps. I'm also using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse when I enable tv out.

Still no luck with the wiimote.

Edit: If you don't get any video out you may need to switch the yellow and red or yellow and white. Also tv out has to be enabled which is under settings>display.

I am quite frustrated with my Captivate. I bought two different cables on ebay and both doesn't seem to work no matter which plug I switched around.

Any solutions? Anyone got their Captivate tv out working properly? Which cable did you use and most importantly where did you get it from?

got this for $0.44 and it works flawlessly and yellow is video too!

Can it also be a ROM/Kernel issue? (with some features being incompatible)

get a cable that works its bad enough we have to deal with an out dated connection from the days of vhs giving poor resolution, switching audio for video will make one audio chanel lower volume (depending on the input impedance of the tv audio in) and cause artifacts in the video from not having a video cable.
video cables are 75ohms vs near zero for audio.

Why would you want all that resistance in a cable?

Wouldn't that cause near to nothing to get transmitted?
