Hi guys,

NEXTBASE TECH PLEASE or others who have tried, I have No HD connection to the 4K TV.

Just bought the 612gw, updated it to 3.7 and sent for a mini HD to HDMI lead 4K compatable - used for cameras. After connecting before switching on the 612 I expected to see the picture in playback mode automatically sent to the TV when I switched the dashcam on ( as per page 39 of the manual) in fact nothing happens it just stays on the dashcam. Is the cable pin configuration any different than for any other camera - or is the 612 software configured not to use the outlet socket at the moment ?

Regards

Dennis

Hi jokiin,

Thanks for your reply. I have tried it onthe HDMI port of my Acer laptop - nothing, but I will try it on a Phillips HD TV tomorrow.

What lead do other Nextbase users use, do you know please ?
 
I thought my Samsung UHD on HDMI 3 should have been OK' it works with automatic switching for all my other devices, but nothing there, even after manually selecting the HDMI 3 socket. I will see if the Philips is the same tomorrow.

Thanks
 
Hello @den111s

The HDMI port essentially just mirrors the playback mode screen, was the file playing on the dash cam ?
 
Hi Tiffany,

The file was playing on the dashcam, but connecting the mini HDMI out to the TV in the prescribed method did nothing, the picture remained on the dashcam.

Thanks for your help

Hi Tiffany,

I have just tried the set up on my other TV, Philips HD. The picture works fine on playback, and contrary to the Manual notes, it stays both on the dashcam screen and TV at the same time, enabling the touchscreen buttons to be operated.

It seems as though there may be a compatibility issue on some TVs with it not talking to the Samsung. I will look into this further when I get more time.

Thanks

Dennis

Hi @den111s sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, we're very very busy at the moment.

I will have to get an update on this as it should work with any HDMI input port.

most likely an HDCP handshake issue with the Samsung, there's a possibility it could be an issue with the cable that is causing this, have seen it happen before on other HDMI devices where it would work only with some cables and not others
 
Hi jokiin and Tiffany,

The spec of the lead is below. I have found the problem now which was down to a junction connector with an existing cable. Having now connected direct to the HDMI 4 of theTV Input housing it works OK. Thanks for your advice.
