Man, This video is awesome! If we hook up a powerbank to this setup and stuff all of this in a sling with cutouts for ventilation, we can have a ghetto vision pro lol.
talk about spaghetti tech!! The hoops people jump through to get shit to work LOL... i take my hat off to you.. there is nothing you cannot get around if you know. how to route a signal!! well done!
I use Google TV in this fashion. I actually like not having the spatial display for watching in bed so I don't connect the beam. And I originally got the wiring set up from you way before the beam a as even announced like you mentioned!
you're not powering the beam simultaneously while using it. so it'll eventually run out of battery. you can use a hdmi + usb-a (power) to usb-c. so google tv -> hdmi female coupler (which you have) -> hdmi + usb-a -> beam usb-c. and supply the power for the google tv. definitely don't need all those cables.
Never said i was powering the beam though. For the google tv to work, it needs to connect to an ac outlet. Besides maybe using and xreal adapter or a battery powered android box, there literally is no way around this.
It's so funny you posted this. I got the same chromecast device and was about to dig into how to make this all work. You did a great job! I'm going to try and find a way to run this with fewer adapters or wires, but I don't think I will be able to. You saved me a lot of time with this. Thank you.
The only way is to buy an Android tv box that's rechargeable. I've searched everywhere and so far Rokid station is the only one that's rechargeable. Problem with that is you run into drm limitations too.Rokid did tell me they're working on drm though. Thanks for dropping in fam.
If you have the Xreal adapter already use that to have the total devices down to 4. Beam, Battery Pack, Google TV, & Xreal adapter. The Xreal hub (HDMI to USB-C) has it's own battery pack so you only need a battery pack with one USB port out (A or C).
Thanks for the video. Still a lot of wires. I did the same thing but I'm using the Xreal adapter since I already had it bring it down to 4 devices instead of 5. I only have run 1 power wire to my slim battery pack. Also even tho I have DeX the picture quality isn't that great compare to a dedicated device like any Google TV. At 139" picture quality is very important so I end up doing this instead of using my phone.
Great video, thanks. Just to confirm, you said that this setup will also work with Fire TV stick? How about Roku TV stick? Why do you like Google TV? Any advantage to use it with Xreal and Beam? Hey, please do a video on how to jailbreak the Beam. I would love to just the Beam alone if I can install RUclips, Netflix and Xfinity Stream apps. Thank you so much Ron
I tried firestick, microsoft adapter, even my Sony Blu-ray just for fun, and they all work. It'll pretty much work with almost any device that puts out video through hdmi. I chose google tv because it has all of google's lincensing on it, so i have no issues downloading apps or watching anything on it. You can of course jailbreak it, but there will be some limitations. You won't be able to run apps that require google services. For an example you can watch RUclips, but you won't be able to login so therefore everything on your homepage is random and not custom to you, and you won't be able to use youtube premium if you have that. Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc works great though.
hey hi ! could you tell me how did you install the apps into the beam ? and what did you do so they can appear in that little bubble as apps in the beam launcher ... that looks very interesting, Does it work like that directly ? Thanks mate!
I had to "jailbreak" it for me to be able to install the apps. It's more of a sideload rather than a true jailbreak, this method doesn't void your warranty.
Is there a way to use the beam indefinitely like power from an external source so it doesn't run out of battery? I'm planning on using it to work for 8 hrs a day.
Man, This video is awesome! If we hook up a powerbank to this setup and stuff all of this in a sling with cutouts for ventilation, we can have a ghetto vision pro lol.
Right haha
I do this but I use the Chrome cast, to the original NReal HDMI adapter to the Beam and it works.

well done!
Well said fam, thanks

Yeah, consuming media or editing in bed as become way more fun

@@KingKola_ I never said you claimed you were. was simply offering that as an alternative.
So the beam is supplying power? I’m confused!
Jailbreak video request! Would be awesome. Thanks a bunch for this one again

@@KingKola_You should connect the Rokid Station to the Xreal Beam and the Xreal Beam to the Xreal Air and make a video about the experience.
Much cables, but it works 😊 great! I really would like to see a video how to jailbreak the beam!!!
Yes, cables haha. But that's for now or jailbreak
Moto G100 user so don't need the hack BUT. Great video, Tops. Holding off to get the Beam, being in Europe. I've done the Google TV a while ago.

need to put all this a handy case with one output for AR glasses and a HDMI ?
Nice, I use a Goovis media streamer with a portable bower bank that powers adapter and streamer. The streamer also has a SD card slot.
That's cool, sd card brings more possibilities.

Awesome stuff right here! Btw, can you please show us how to jailbreak the Beam the easy way? Thank you.
Nice work, but the result is almost comical.
Thanks. Been waiting for it for long time, but still a lot of wires
please make a video on how to jailbreak the beam along with the items required please
Thank for the video. I have a question for you. Could the Xreal beam use by other AR glass brands (e.g. TCL RayNeo AR glasses)?
No, not compatible
Can you make a sideload video for the beam?
hey hi ! could you tell me how did you install the apps into the beam ? and what did you do so they can appear in that little bubble as apps in the beam launcher ... that looks very interesting, Does it work like that directly ?
Thanks mate!

I just found out that Xreal has launched the new Air 2 and Air 2 Pro
Yes, they did. They're mostly a refresh of the current Airs.
Xreal Air 2 and Xreal Air 2 Pro are nothing more than Xreal Air 1.1.
Don't fall for the number 2 in their names.
Is there a way to use the beam indefinitely like power from an external source so it doesn't run out of battery? I'm planning on using it to work for 8 hrs a day.
Thanks for the video , so with this method I overcome the lack of DisplayPort support in my phone right ? for RUclips ,Netflix ,TikTok?
Yes technically
pass
I think I should call Khaby
