What is the little USB dongle for? Can I stream video to a computer?

Do you see the small S.D. card? That card goes in the back of the camera, then you take the card out of the camera and put it in the USB stick, that plugs into your computer, you can see your pictures or videos you just took with your camera!

It also has a coax and VGA input as well. USB appears to only be useful for firmware update.

Not Sure I understand the question. If you are trying to hookup a hdtv to this computer, You will need a usb to video a adapter. Or you can transmit the signal using something like samsung all share. BLUETOOTH

The usb is for power. The hdmi is on the opposite end from the audio video connections.

I haven't tried this but as long as your PC is setup for video sharing, it should work. I can see my home network when setting up the dongle.

In my use case, my monitor is hooked up to my computer using a USB cable. I can then plug the Bluetooth dongle into my monitor, install the correct files on my computer and the dongle performs as if it were plugged into the laptop directly. The key here is that the monitor is essentially working as a usb hub. If the only cables going to your monitor are a video and audio cable (can be in the form of hdmi/vga and stereo cable/etc.) then the dongle will not work as it needs to have files be installed on your computer in order to transmit the source (audio in this case) via bluetooth. In short, it gets the audio from the computer, not the monitor.

As far as I know the only connections it supports are WiFi and ethernet. The USB is for file sharing.

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply. The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

**edit** They linked the wrong product sorry; you connect the A/V cables to the TV, and then the USB cable to a PC. The PC stores the video files. You'd have to stream the video from your computer to the television.

There is a usb cord connection. but I have no idea what to use it for! I use the monitor connection to display documents for students to view as I work out problems. There is also the power cord and some video cords.

When I put the video on my computer I did not use the USB cord, I used an SD card and it worked fine. I have a MacBook pro and just put the micro sd card into the larger SD card that fits into the slot in the computer.

You should be able to plug it in any USB port on your desktop or laptop. The computer will ask you what you want to do. Just open files and search for the video that's on the disk.

I've yet to try and hook anything to the USB port. But I can say it doesn't have wifi. If has a network jack that it can be hard wired with. The features the network offers are convenient but if you are thinking you can play video over a network connection it can not. You can control it remotely over network and it can send you status updates about filter and bulb life over email.

Yes you can. The USB interface works quite well. I've tried AVI and MP4 files without issue.

You could potentially use it via a USB connection with a converter, but it's really designed for direct connection to a live streaming provider.

i did not see a definitive answer. Did you ever find a USB dongle that worked?
