Noname USB 2.0: amzn.to/484IssC (I also have this one, and it is probably the most popular model, but it's much worst than Hagibis).

Is there any way to get this working with charging? USB C hub and so on, how would it look like? I'd love to use this setup with my Steam Deck but battery will be the bottle neck

@Thomas_Voland Ай бұрын

Of course, Hagibis capture card in PD version (which I linked) and Steam in dock/hub with connected power. There are even docks in form of cable HDMI with PD to USB C. I will do video about it in the future. Hub USB PD also is okay. Here I show how I use it with hub: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpiHndxkmq_FkWw.htmlsi=YVaEsfclmWCz1Fw4

How do you get the app from the play store into the Quest? I know how to sideload but how do I get the apk file? Thanks

@Thomas_Voland 2 ай бұрын

The best way is side load Aurora store and install everything from there. But many people use Apkpure and other websites and apps.

is there anyway to play Steamvr games over this HMDI connection? Rather than using Quest Link or Steam Link ? Is there DP alternative for 120HZ and full res of the Q3 ? My goal would be to use the Q3 over real Video Wired connection and Turn the Q3 to a real PCVR headset ...

No, this is completely impossible. However with current generation GPU, good wifi and Virtual Desktop, you can have great quality without visible compression using AV1 codec. But on old gen GPU even H265 10 bit is pretty good.

@@benor83 that’s why I switched from RTX3090 to 4070 Super (they are in the same price so I didn’t have to spend any money). Because of AV1. I recommend to check what people from Digital Foundry said about AV1 on Quest 3.

@@benor83 i used but didn’t own myself. But if people from Digital Foundry can’t recognize AV1 from native DisplayPort for sure I couldn’t too. For now I didn’t see compression, however since I switched to AV1 I didn’t play Alyx or anything else with a lot of dark areas, where compression is the most visible. I edit thousands of professional photos with models on dark background, where any compression is unacceptable and I see it immediately on a reference monitor, but for now I didn’t noticed it in VR on AV1. Maybe when I will play other games.

Does it eliminate the latency from encoding/decoding that comes with using link or VD?

@Thomas_Voland Ай бұрын

Capture card has to process the video stream. Changelog of USB Camera mention new ultra fast mode (maybe for drones, high resolution cameras etc; because for VOD and playing games it was okay already).

What I am thinking, is if you could wirelessly or with (JUST) a Type-C to Type-C have Samsung Dex working on a Quest Window. It's VERY possible, it's just that that function is not enabled for Samsung Dex. Basically, Samsung Dex to mirror on another Android device. Im just amazed no one has developed a workaround on Git hub or playstore.
