I read that chromecast is working on the projector. But is it possible to plug it in the USB of the projector for power supply?

I have the Roku and it works just fine. The USB can provide enough juice to power the stick.

Hi Sadoul. I don't think it can be powered from the USB connector. I think the USB is only intended for inserting a memory stick with picture on it. If you need it to plug into a 12V power source like your car (which I do), I bought the 12V Asus laptop charger accessory (the kind with many different connector options) and it works fine in my car's cigarette lighter. Fair warning, the projector consumes alot of power this way, to watch the voltage left in your car battery.

I don't know about chromecast, but you can plug in in the USB for power supply

Hi! This, from a year's worth of experience is a simple projector..HDMI, USB (via external drives and a 4gb internal storage, VGA...essentially a means to output non-rf signals. The original WIFI dongle didn't fly (Vivitek USA didn't even try to make it fly), no Bluetooth. I've used the Google Chromecast to allow me to throw the output of my Android device to the Qumi Q5 (BTW..probably the best of it's ilk). So, no, MHL, AFAIK, but Chromecast via the HDMI input. Hope that helps.

I am fairly sure the device has to be plugged into a PC/MAC USB port to render the video. I don't think it works by just plugging into a projectors USB port as the projector doesn't have a CPU/GPU to render graphics, hence, how this DL-195 chipset works.

I couldn't get one to work on mine without the power adapter. Then again, I have yet to find a TV that would power any of my Chromecasts, so I have had to use the power adapter for all of them. I have tried (all relatively new (less than 3 years old) models: Samsung plasma, Sharp Aquos LED, Vizio LED, and W1070, and the Chromecast always needs the power adapter, so I think that their "Powered by the HDMI port" claim is a bit of a stretch for all but a very few models.

Yes! Its best to use the remote that comes with it so you can switch to different inputs. I have the Chromecast hooked up myself it works fine. It also displays 1080p if you have a source that plays 1080p such as blu ray, ps4, Xbox one.

No, you can't do that. This adapter has a 'male' HDMI connector. The Chromecast has also a 'male' HDMI connector, so they can't connect each other. What you need is a projector with a HDMI input for video, so you can connect the Chromecast directly to it.

You need the 3.5mm plug. I had to return it because I thought the audio traveled through the HDMI, but no, it did not. And my Chromecast device did not have a port for the 3.5mm plug.

I don't know - I have not attempted that yet. I mostly use it as a bridge since the composite inputs blew out on my 65 inch TV. But when I tried Chromecast with it, I was unable to get it working, so I am glad that you did. Any advice for me on how you got Chromecast to work and what are your best uses for it?

To use Chromecast plug the device into the HDMI port and provide power using the wall adapter included with the Chromecast.

i think you can connect to a projector using a usb. there is a usb an a audio video output. there is also a usb input for a computer or a hard drive to record or playback

It has a mini USB port on the unit, but it comes with a standard USB to mini cable so you can plug in your USB stick into the cable and the other end of the cable to the projector.... Not sure why they just didn't put a standard USB port on the unit, seems like there is space and cost less than including a converter cable.

also, no hdmi output, the only ports are headphones, micro usb and micro sd. would work with chromecast though.

I frequently use my projector with a Dell lap top running Google Chrome. If you can use some operating system on ipad, it probably will allow a second display. specify the output display as an output to a computer output connector that can connect to the projector. Then use the projector functions to accept computer input. Sorry I cannot guaranty that this will will work.

Unlikely, Most projects are only running tiny operating system and usually don't have usb drivers for anything other than usb storage. The projector itself would have to a driver for this adapter and have a setup screen for bluetooth. I do not know of any projector that can do that. I would suggest something like Chromecast, Matchstick, Roku stick, or Fire tv that plugs into a projector through HDMI and would stream over wifi.

Currently have it running through the USB port on projector. It does come with a plug adapter if USB is not an option.

No, it most likely does not have the drivers for a projector. It is used for USB flash drives and gaming controllers mostly.

My Chromecast has an HDMI connector. There are at least 3 HDMI connectors on the TV. A couple in back, and one on the side. Check the manual. If you do not have one, you can find it on the Internet.
