I am dummy when it comes about electronics, I am trying to figure out would it be possible to record the video and play it via projector at the same time?

Hi MM, apparently recording and playing using the projector feature of this Sony HDR-PJ790V is not supported. Once the projector of the camcorder is turned on, recording is stop and cannot be operated. -Ely

No it isn't possible. When you connect the projector, it shuts off the video recording part of the camera. Sorry. I think you can use the HDMI to connect to a TV and record at the same time though. I will try it as soon as I can.

Sure, I don't see why not. any HDMI port will send out video/audio signal and the projector receives it.

This unit only reflects the projected image into a video camera. If you are using a sound projector you will need to patch the output sound from the projector to the sound input of the video camera. Hope that makes sense.

I haven't done this, but a projector with a vga or dvi cable would work just like a screen.

Yes you can. You have to hit the video record button on the back though. There is no record button on the screen.

If your projector supports a standard HDMI input, yes. It should not be a problem. You may have to adjust your resolution on your device depending on the capabilities of your projector.

Sorry, I am far from an expert on this. I have been seeking the right way to do this since 3M does not support the product well. I searched a lot of options to find a cable set that would allow this unit to work like a regular projector. The cable set listed here will not work on its own but I am now waiting for a new cable that may take the RCA ends on the product you are asking about and turn that into the VGA end that will take video out of the computer and into the 3M projector. Write back in 2 wees if you want to see if I have been successful.

Yes you can. You can also record it and play it back later, but only on the machine that you recorded it on.

Ok...so...there is no simple answer to this question. If you just take this out of the box and expect a "live stream" setting of some sort you won't find one. But it is very possible to use this camera for this. First, a Google search DID turn results. So, if you need specifics, there's your starting place. This camera has an hdmi jack, so whatever you're recording can be broadcast to an external video display (a TV or a piece of equipment which streams it live over the Internet- like a capture or video card attached to a computer or some standalone equipment I'm sure exists). I don't know if that hdmi sends sound too. However, there are alternate hookups available. There is a yellow audio/video output for component cables. The Internet says this can be used for either audio out for headphones or for video out. But apparently not for both at the same time. Either way, there's people rigging this up successfully. Search around and be prepared for some adapters, software, and possibly hardware. There's no built in video server or anything fancy. Not sure if any cameras in the world have that. So, I think the appropriate answer is that this camera does everything that all other cameras do really, and seems to stream live rather than just play recorded over externals. Not sure if sound will come from one hookup or from multiple jacks/cords.

Yes you can as long as you have a device that has a vga which is in most compters an hdmi or you can even put movies on a thumb drive or a sd card or you could hook it up to a dvd player or game system that has av hook ups which are the red yellow and white connectors it is a great projector and I use mine all of the time so if you buy enjoy it its a great product

yes you can there are several options. Theres only one hdmi slot. So ill use my set up for example. I use my hdmi for tv(dvr box) and I purchased a vga cable for my 360, which is hd quality. The catch is sound. The projector has speakers but they definitely arent for an everday use espscially a room full of people. Like tryna have a party using your iphone lol. So either buy a set of cheap speakers or just invest in a surround sound.

I presume that you mean a video capture, rather than a (still) screen capture. Yes, you can, including audio, though the quality will be reduced.

You can connect it to hd devices like a tv, or you have to dump the video onto the computer. You cannot run from the projector to a computer screen. Sorry

I don't think the projector has built in media playing software. I have my projector hooked up to my PC via hdmi cable. I don't think there's a way to directly play media from an external hard drive though.

I wouldn't recommend it for game play. I think there is a little lag time. Further, you need to use the Black Magic software package to see what the unit is seeing. So you wouldn't be able to go full screen with the image. I wasn't designed with this in mind. If you wanted to record brag clips this might be a good way to go.

You would have to buy an HDMI splitter for that. They go for about 20 bucks. The appeal of this is that it doesn't have a delay when you record (meaning you can play on your computer screen as you're recording). The competitor capture card (hauppage hd PVR 2) DOES have an HDMI out which splits the signal and lets you play on the TV, but there's anywhere between a 2-6 second delay on the computer. If you plan on using it for streaming gameplay or something you'd definitely want this one, but the hauppage may be good enough if capturing in realtime isn't a big deal to you.

yes, it can be done using a rca cable (video is color yellow), the proyector can be use with vga or a rca input.
