[cisco-voip] cisco hdmi to dvi cable - audio from HDMI?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Well, it's not perfect, but it works. I'm guessing my host PC is not up to snuff to make it as good as it could be though.

Basically:

Host Laptop : HDMI Out > HDMI In : HDMI-to-USB : USB > USB : Host Laptop

Then on the Host laptop select the video and mic input to be the HDMI-to-USB adapter.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Having trouble making it work with an HDMI splitter though - not sure if that's because the panel that was attached doesn't have speakers. Will try again with an actual TV and see if I can get that working.

Just coming full circle here. The cable does not take audio from HDMI, you need to plug in audio cable. Good news is, the audio cable works fine plugged into a "headset" port on the laptop (you're asked what you've just plugged in) and it also works with a USB-to-audio adapter too.

The thing that doesn't work so well (as suspected) is sharing video in the content stream. Too bad there isn't something built-in that will kick up the content stream to high bandwidth. I can imagine this being a common request from people doing presentations - "Just a moment while I share this video the team has been working on..." especially for videos from the internet.

Will need to examine how much effort it is to build the macro Ryan suggested to flip the content/video channels.

Thanks everyone!

P.S. Has anyone else noticed their SX20 slowing down a bit after upgrade from TC to CE software? Very sluggish controls. Yuck.

Does anyone know if the CAB-DVI-HDMI-8M+= cable will take audio directly from the HDMI source and pump it to the audio cable in the DVI end? Or whether both 1/8" jacks need to be plugged in to feed audio to the far end?

We have a C60 and two SX20s that only have DVI in with a spare mic input. Of course, laptops nowadays have HDMI. Not too many have the audio out. Or close enough for that little pigtail.
