Hi All,
I am thinking of getting audio out from Benq HT3050 projector wirelessly to phantom.
Currently i use Google chromecast and have directly plugged it into the projector itself through HDMI input.
Projector has one 3.5 mm headphone jack for audio out. It has one USB as well though not sure if i can use USB to optical converter here and then plug optical directly into phantom.
My question is Can i use Bluetooth Transmitter in projector and then pair it with Phantom?
PS: My intention is to get good video onto the screen and hence have connected the chromecast directly onto the projector and i dont care very much about the sound quality coming out of phantom, just need it wirelessly so that there are not many wires all around.
Thanks
Ashish
Hi,
I used to do this between my projector and Phantoms. I bought an APTX bluetooth transmitter and plugged it into the projector, and paired that to one of my Phantoms. It works, just the latency fluctuates at times. Unfortunetely doing this affords no control over audio compensation.
So yes it works, with that audio delay caveat.
Now I am using a mac mini as my video source directly plugged into the projector. Then the mac mini connects to one of the phantoms via bluetooth. The video is either HD TV feed into VLC or any other video files into VLC since VLC allows - and + audio delay adjustment that can be permanently configured for the phantoms. But still on occasion some files need further adjustment, which is easily done via keyboard.
It's my understanding direct optical connection has much better timing so little (if any) audio compensation is needed.

Thanks for the quick reply.
One more thing that came to my mind was 3.5mm headphone jack-->RCA--> Analog to Digital converter--> Optical to phantom. Not sure if this would solve the latency issue.
Can't you just get a second Chromecast and group them?

Technically yes that would work to reduce the audio latency. Just keep in mind there still will be "some".
Here is a thread we have that discussed our ways of working around this:
