The DJI Pocket 3 is a compact yet powerful camera offering versatile connection and control options. 
This article delves into how to transform the DJI Pocket 3 into an HDMI output device, pair it with joystick-based gimbal controls, 
and enable UVC output for live streaming or other applications.

Horizontal HDMI Output and Gimbal Control

When connected for HDMI output, the DJI Pocket 3 allows users to project its footage onto larger screens with ease. 

In addition to delivering high-quality output, it supports external joystick-based control for precise gimbal movements, 

such as panning up, down, left, or right, as well as digital zooming in and out. 

This setup makes filming more flexible and ensures that the frame can be adjusted effortlessly to capture the desired angle.


Vertical HDMI Output and Configuration

In vertical mode, the DJI Pocket 3 can also output via HDMI. 

By tweaking internal settings, users can convert vertical footage into full-screen display without the common issue of black bars on the sides. 

With our HDMI-UVC dual-mode converter, you can adjust the frame orientation to 90 or 270 degrees directly through the web-based configuration page, 

ensuring a seamless full-screen view for vertical setups.


Dual-Mode Output: HDMI and UVC

Beyond HDMI, the DJI Pocket 3 supports UVC BYPASS functionality, 

enabling direct connection to a computer with software like OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). 

This dual-mode capability allows users to project footage onto a TV while simultaneously streaming live.

Through our converter, OBS not only captures footage but also retains control of gimbal movements and digital zoom, 

providing a fully integrated operational experience. Currently, the converter supports only a single USB input. 

However, by using a USB hub, such as Xiaomi's USB Hub, users can connect multiple devices. 

Additionally, the converter requires a DC 5V power source for stable performance.

High-Resolution Display and Future Enhancements

In vertical mode, capturing a native 1080 x 1920 UVC frame for HDMI output offers significantly better quality than cropping and magnifying a 1920 x 1080 frame. To ensure clarity, our converter extracts high-resolution vertical footage and delivers it as the cleanest HDMI output possible.

While the current version supports only one USB input, the next-generation product will feature dual USB ports for more convenient operation, eliminating the need for an external USB hub.

China supplier  converters only support 1920x1080 resolution.

When using DJI Pocket 3 in portrait mode, black bars are added on the left and right sides.

If you directly crop the center portion, the resolution is reduced to less than one-third of the original physical resolution.


However, with FEBON uvc-hdmi dualmode adapter, it can capture 1080x1920 resolution in DJI Pocket 3 portrait mode and even rotate the image by 90 degrees internally:

  • Captures 1080x1920 resolution.
  • Supports internal 90-degree rotation within the converter.

This ensures the processed image is displayed at 100% resolution, without wasting any pixels


Control Experience and Practical Applications

Whether in horizontal or vertical mode, users can operate the gimbal with joystick controls for smooth directional movement and digital zoom. 

Paired with the converter and OBS, this system delivers a comprehensive control experience for TVs or live streaming platforms. 

The footage remains sharp in any mode, making it ideal for professional filming, live events, or showcasing content.


Conclusion

The combination of the DJI Pocket 3 and the HDMI-UVC dual-mode converter not only enables high-quality HDMI output but also offers robust control features, 

enhancing shooting and application flexibility. 

This solution caters to diverse needs, from professional scenarios to everyday content sharing.

With ongoing hardware advancements,

 we look forward to future products introducing even more innovative features, further elevating the value of the DJI Pocket 3.
