I have two adapters from this brand, just tried it and it works great. Its only 1080P but also for the Steam Deck it still is not as simple as it can be. I needed a USB 3 to HDMI for the Steam Deck and then the HDMI capture for the quest. UGREEN has a cable that is both of these in one that I am going to get, bonus its 4K instead of 1080 and it supposedly can charge both devices at once. Finally a good reason to have those big 65w power banks of mine can take all this one the go.

So the main difference between the last hagibis capture 'card' you suggested and this one is it's hdmi male instead of female, and has a longer usb-c cable so you don't need an extension cable anymore. That's a less messy setup to be sure, for hdmi-out use.

I tried out using my caldigit ts4 thunderbolt 4 dock to the usb c power delivery port but it wasn’t charging my quest 3. Then I plugged in a random usb c fast charging block which i use to charge my phone into the power delivery port and then my quest 3 started charging. Then on the display it shows 1920 x 1080 at 60fps and the display usually stays at 61fps. From the display settings on both my mac and pc, I can go up to 4096 x 2160. With the lowest I can go down to being 800 x 600 resolution. Under 800 x 600, it shows some extra resolutions saying 2048 x 1080 (HiDPI), 1024 x 576 (HiDPI), 960 x 540 (HiDPI), and 800 x 600 (HiDPI) on my mac. Im not sure what those are but for normal resolutions there is 800x600, 960x540, 1024x576, 1024x768, 1280x720, 1280x768, 1280x800, 1280x960, 1280x1024, 1344x756, 1344,1008, 1440x900, 1600x900, 1600x1200, 1920x1080 (default), 3840x2160, and 4096x2160. On mac you can also change the color profile and i put mine on standard sRGB which looks really good. For refresh rate your choices are 25 Hertz, 30, 50, and 60. It’s very useful as a large monitor and helps keep me focused. I have my childhood home recorded using a insta360 one x2 360 degree video camera and I can open it up in the skybox vr player, and then bring up my home menu and open up the hdmi link, and it feels like im using my pc or mac back home.

@@GeoPhilips I have both, and I confirm the original Hagibis capture card that Voland recommended (and that he also showed in this video) worked just fine with everything. So that is probably still the best overall setup, even if that setup requires an HDMI cable for some things like Apple TV or Xbox. The capture cable fits the bill in many scenarios, and I guess it depends on your use case. Both options work well with a laptop. Ultimately I was interested in using the Meta Quest 3 with my work laptop which is locked down -- and thus very difficult/impossible to use Immersed or other "streaming" options. Using HDMI or USB-C video output on the work laptop is not locked down (and also provides better performance/latency). I have been playing around with this for a while after I had found Voland's other earlier video which introduced side loading "USB Camera" android app before Meta came out with the official "HDMI Link" app. In conclusion, I'm happy that it works seamlessly and well. Would definitely use the Meta Quest 3 if I travel. I am more comfortable to use the Meta Quest 3 in a hotel room -- probably less comfortable using in public, e.g., at a cafe. AR glasses like the XReal or Viture are definitely less conspicuous and lighter weight, but the FOV and the display on the Meta Quest 3 is much much better.

Nothing in the app. Just to be sure - you bought the cable with black USB-C? Not the one that I told to not buy, because it won't work (white USB-C)?

My link is correct. Below is a link to a cable from the second setup, for devices which require charging. Maybe you have ordered this one?

If you are talking about this cable, which is for setup with a capture card, it means that you need the capture card for it. That’s why it is described as a separate setup, and that’s why I have explained in the video the differences between them and which one is better for which purpose. For one cable setup you should buy the cable which is linked on the top and described as “cable from the video”.

Hey man! Thanks for the in-depth video. However, I'm a little bit confused on what cable I need for my setup. I'd like to connect my iPhone 13 (with lightning plug) to Quest 3. I surely need a lightning to hdmi adapter, but as for the capture card do I need the one with the black usb 3.0 plug (from this video), or the white one, or the one with the female plug or what? :) I'd like to connect my PS4 Pro to Quest 3 as well.

[@GhostLinx]

You don't need a capture card , just the cable and adapter

[@Jakul7]

will this work with a ps5 to quest 3?

[@Thomas_Voland]

Yes. Just remember to turning off HDCP in PS5 settings.

[@MrBokkyboy]

So based on your vid I ordered this cable to use with the switch and quest thinking it's plug and play but that's not the case. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Do I need the dock? Does it work with the original dock from the switch? Do I need the power supply the same dock you're using. What am I missing? Thx 🙏🏽

[@Thomas_Voland]

But in this video I explained, that for Switch better is this setup: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6iZpWudgpmipposi=wryxqa-sqSYalrmf. If you want use the cable which you have already ordered you can, but in this case dock is needed, because Switch can't work via HDMI without power.

[@Shryquill]

I'm having an issue with the original set up, with switch dock w. PD to capture card w. PD. Every so often the video feed from my steamdeck will cut out and the video output display reverts back to the steamdeck's screen for a few seconds, then it just starts working again automatically. Do you know how or why this happens? I wonder if it's an issue where the charger cuts power to the switch dock, temporarily turning it all off. I'm not sure though. It's not super bad, but a bit annoying to happen while I'm gaming.

[@Thomas_Voland]

First you have to try without connecting power, to be sure that that’s really what causes the issue.

[@Shryquill]

@@Thomas_Voland weirdly, connecting SD and Q3 to start with, then plugging the mains power in afterwards seemed to prevent further disconnecting. That is, with a sample size of one play session. Hopefully that's all that is required.

[@Thomas_Voland]

@@Shryquill this is normal, I mentioned this in many videos

[@Shryquill]

@@Thomas_Voland awesome, thanks for confirmation! Do we know why this happens then? It's odd as attaching the device to a already-powered dock is the standard mode of usage for a Nintendo Switch dock. Though I guess it's different as an OEM Switch dock can only be powered externally, whereas the Hagibis dock can also be powered by the host device. If there was some way to force the Hagibis dock into a mode where if only accepts external PD power and wouldn't use host power, perhaps with a mechanical button on the device, maybe that would prevent this video-cutting out issue from happening.

[@Thomas_Voland]

@@Shryquill i was referring to connecting power to the Quest. It makes problems when data and power are connected at the same time, but with this capture cable I don’t have this problem on 12v. However no matter what you connect to Quest (hub, sound card etc), almost always data must be connected without power, and power after device is connected.

Using wifi streaming you can have multiple virtual monitors with higher resolution, framerate and freedom where you place them, this provided only a single 1080p window in meta home.
