Please note: In this article, "USB" refers to USB-C, Micro-USB, Mini-USB, and USB-8P ports and cables. Similarly, "HDMI" will refer to standard HDMI (HDMI-A), Mini-HDMI (HDMI-C), and Micro-HDMI (HDMI-D) ports and cables. The type of cables needed depends on your camera model, which is why providing this information is necessary when purchasing your Entagged device. The setup process and outcome are the same.
