Using the Vox with a Projector?

totti · 01-18-2012, 01:16 PM

Is it possible? I would love to use my kobo vox in my classroom but not sure if it's possible. My projector has a vga, s-video and standard component entry. Does it exist, a micro-usb connection for the vox to vga/s-video so i can project the info from my vox to a screen?

Totti, I doubt that would work.
The Vox has no video out,, or HDMI out, so I don't see how it could.
Mebbe if you put it under one of those old overhead projectors? Do they still use those?
Or some other system with a video camera that takes a video of the screen and projects it?

tx Laridae. Believe it or not, those overhead projectors are still being used by teachers(although not as frequently, lol)
I'm not sure i fully understood how to use the overhead projector with the kobo vox.

The old projectors won't work. Those were simply a bright light bulb with mirrors to shine on the screen. Putting your Vox on the table of one of those will result in a large black rectangle. What you need is a newer style that uses a camera instead of mirrors
