INFO: Limitations of features for HDMI and USB-C inputs

Thanks for the tip, I’ve updated it.

What about manual and auto focus?
Do we have to do it under android? If so, does it carry over when switching to hdmi?

Focus is carried over. You can also perform autofocus with the remote outside of Android.

I want to use zoom and corner correction on my HDMI Apple TV input, any work-around / Philips solution, this is what I bought the projector for.

Thank you

Please fix

They can’t. It’s been stated many many times.

@Philips_Support_P Could you precise status for manual horizontal keystone correction (left/right tilt)?

That’s why Applications and Media player/streaming-mirroring needs to be secured working perfect, as HDMI input will limit your adjustment and audio output :wink:

Keep up the good work supporting Full HD on Netflix, Youtube, Chromecast, Airplay2 and Media players

Id be quite interested in this one too!

@Philips_Support_P regarding the Digital Zoom feature, what does this setting from the hidden menu do for HDMI input sizing if anything?

This is the same as digital zoom (for internal Android only). Except that you can adjust x and y independently.

will the zoom function stay when switch to hdmi ?
or 4 corner settings ?

if use this as stationary on a shelf that cant be moved.

Hi @Carljohan_Selke,

No, these settings don’t stay when switching to HDMI.
It’s due to hardware limitations.
Have a look at the first article of this thread here :

In HDMI, you have the “raw” picture, without the ability to tweak it as you can do when playing internal content or movies within Android apps.

Then i cannot use is as stationära because i need change the zoom and use HDMI because of my home Cinema sound whitout that its useless for me :frowning:

To be clear. This setting is in hidden menu “HDMI input sizing”, but is not related to HDMI? (still digital zoom is not available for HDMI) Is that correct?

Is there a specific cable for either the HDMI or USB-C?

Tried my usbc to projector and got a ‘no signal’.
Used the USB-C that came with projector and worked brilliantly.

Tried plugging into hdmi, only to get a ‘no signal’ once again.

USB-C cables and adapters can be really confusing, and will be quite a while longer until USB4 gets enough traction.

For video to work over USB-C you have to use a cable which is SuperSpeed capable (so called “full featured” cables, see USB-C - Wikipedia). The cable shipped with the PPM is such a cable. USB-C cables primarily intended for charging are often called “high-speed” (which refers to the USB 2.0 speed 480Mbps) or “charging only”, those cables are not capable of carrying video.

Most any HDMI cable will work for 1080p video. In your case I think that the mini docking station isn’t fully compatible with the Switch, have you managed to get HDMI working with another display with that setup? If I understand it correctly the Switch is fairly picky about supporting video output without the dock, but a full featured USB-C cable directly from the Switch to the PPM works great.
