CONNECTIVITY

Connecting a laptop or netbook to Swivel requires additional cables or converters, depending on your particular computer model. Consult your computer’s user manual and ensure that it has video-out functionality; not all do.

For laptops/netbooks with S-Video:
Use an S-Video & Stereo Audio to RCA Converter (SVHS to 3 RCA)

For laptops/netbooks with VGA:
The Cinemin Swap accessory (sold separately) is a compact powered box which converts VGA to an analog AV signal

For laptops/netbooks with DVI or mini-DVI:
The signal will first need to be converted to VGA, S-Video, or Composite (a variety of cables are generally available), and then to the above connectors.

Some devices have video-out functionality but require their own proprietary connector cable (sold separately) in order to work. Examples include:

There are a limited number of mobile phones – mainly smartphone's – that have video-out functionality. The following models will connect to Swivel (however, sometimes requiring a proprietary connector):

Be aware that not all popular devices can output video and therefore will NOT project images of any kind.

Swivel is generally very simple to use but there are some specifics you may be curious about.


How can I project photos from my iPhone / iPod?
Photos will project when played as a slideshow. From within the Photos section, either in the album or on a particular photo, press the Play triangle at the bottom of the screen.


Can I project my iPhone/iPod applications?
Presently, the only app that Apple allows video-out access to is YouTube.


When does Swivel charge?
Swivel will charge its battery when it is connected to an AC or USB power source and turned off. The battery does not charge when Swivel is on, projecting.


My Swivel is squawking. What's up?
Swivel will beep every couple minutes when it is running very low on battery power. There's about 10 minutes of juice remaining when you hear it.


Can I transfer data via the USB port?
Swivel does not have internal memory. Swivel's USB port is for charging only.


What is the middle "R" position on the switch for?
The switch's middle position is a reverse setting, meaning that the projection is horizontally flipped. This is useful for rear-projection (eg. from behind a thin white sheet).


Can I connect Swivel to my computer?
Please see the Connectivity section above. In general (keeping in mind that all computers are different), PCs will require a VGA-to-AV converter such as Cinemin Swap or the GEZ-1000 from GrandTec. And most common Macs will require a DVI-to-Video adapter from Apple. Consult your computer's manual first.


What is a Composite connection?
Sometimes called RCA, a Composite cable has three connectors - yellow for video and red and white for stereo audio - and is the output for a variety of video-related devices. Not to be confused with Component.
