Can a tablet be connected to an avr
I have a pioneer vxs920 avr which has hdmi inputs (v1.4 I believe)I want to get a device or tablet that can send the picture and sound (videos stored/recorded on the device) to my projector and home cinema sound system.
I don't have WiFi/internet access.
Can this be done?
Which tablets under £150 can do that?
Many thanks I'm assuming you'd need a tablet with USB OTG.
USB On-The-Go - Wikipedia
USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated to USB OTG or just OTG, is a specification first used in late 2001 that allows USB devices, such as tablets or smartphones, to act as a host, allowing other USB devices, such as USB flash drives, digital cameras, mice or keyboards, to be attached to them. Use of USB OTG allows those devices to switch back and forth between the roles of host and device. A mobile phone may read from removable media as the host device, but present itself as a USB Mass Storage Device when connected to a host computer.
Then something like this:

Which gives you a HDMI socket.
As for a good cheap tablet, I'd look at Huawei media pads. For android devices you need a tablet with an mhl usb port.
For apple devices you need to buy the lightning av adaptor.
Both of these allow connections to an avr via HDMI.
