Cinemin Swivel is a one versatile pico. It will project movies, videos, photos, games, and slides from a variety of popular media players.
Swivel comes packed with two main connector cables which will do the trick for the majority of devices.

- Flip Video (most models)
- Vado Pocket Video Cam
- Camcorders (most models)
- DV-cams (most models)
- Digital cameras (most models)
- DVD (and portable DVD players)
- Blu-ray (and portable Blu-ray players)

Connectivity
Connecting a laptop or netbook to Swivel requires additional cables or converters, depending on your particular computer model. Consult your computer’s user manual and ensure that it has video-out functionality; not all do.
For laptops/netbooks with S-Video
Use an S-Video & Stereo Audio to RCA Converter (SVHS to 3 RCA)
For laptops/netbooks with VGA
The Cinemin Swap accessory (sold separately) is a compact powered box which converts VGA to an analog AV signal
For laptops/netbooks with DVI or mini-DVI
The signal will first need to be converted to VGA, S-Video, or Composite (a variety of cables are generally available), and then to the above connectors.
Some devices have video-out functionality but require their own proprietary connector cable (sold separately) in order to work. Examples include:
- PlayStation Portable
- PlayStation 2 and 3
- Xbox and Xbox 360
- Zune (all models)
There are a limited number of mobile phones – mainly smartphones – that have video-out functionality. The following models will connect to Swivel (however, sometimes requiring a proprietary connector):
- HTC Touch Pro
- HTC Touch Pro 2
- HTC FUZE
- HTC Advantage
- HTC U1000
- Nokia 5800
- Nokia N97, N86, and N85 models
- LG KM900
- Samsung i900
- Sony-Ericsson C903 and C905 models
