Cable needed to output video to TV

I'm a complete neophyte, when it comes to using my computer to watch video in my TV. I have a MacBook, model identifier 5,2. What cables would I need to transfer video from the Mac to a TV with HDMI connectors. Can it be done?

You will need an adaptor from your video port to HDME if your TV has HDMI ports. Your model has a mini-DVI port so you need an adaptor to go from mini-DVI to HDMI. Check the Apple Online store. Griffen has a multi-use adaptor that may work. If not check adaptors from Kanex(.com).

  • DVI to S-Video & Composite plug cable needed for output to audio/TV system

    I'm in need of a DVI to S-Video and Composite plug cable to replace the Monster iTV Link cable I used with my 12" Aluminum PowerBook. (http://www.monstercable.com/apple/Computer.asp) I use it to output to my audio/TV system.
    Whereas the PowerBook used a mini-DVI port and had the audio output jack on the same side of the computer, the MacBook Pro uses a full size DVI port and has the audio jack on the opposite side!
    I've been unable to find a cable so that I can connect up to a TV. Does anyone know where I can find one? Or perhaps a DVI to mini-DVI adapter? Or perhaps a VGA to S-Video/Composite cable and I can use the DVI to VGA adapter that came with the computer?
    This is very frustrating!

    Apple's video adapters have a ROM chip inside them with EDID data contained within the ROM. That is one thing that will definitely be different between the two. The NTSC and PAL version (M9267G/A) gives priority to NTSC. This could cause problems in a PAL country. If you hooked a PAL TV up using this adapter, you might get a rolling (non-synced) screen and you'd have no good way to recover since the image on the screen would be unusable.
    I don't think one adapter would have any advantage over the other in terms of PAL picture quality. It would just be a question of compatibility as outlined above. That's my best guess.

  • Cable needed to transfer video to Mac?

    Hi all,
    In a few days I am purchasing a Macbook which (among MANY other things), I will be using to occasionally edit homemade video(nothing hardcore, just the general, 'cut this part', 'add music to this part' and so on). I just need to know what kind of cable I need that goes from the Digital Video Camera to my Macbook. Thanks!
    -Jordan

    I've got a Panasonic PV- GS15 MiniDV camcorder. It has a mini USB slot and a slot with 4 pins and written above it is i.DV. Should this camcorder work? I am planning on purchasing this cable if the camera is in fact compatible.

  • Cables for outputting video to tv

    are there any apple cables or any other cables that are capable of outputting video from a macbook to an hdtv. I have a HDTV with only component connections so maybe a dvi to component converter/cable? i have no idea, any help is appreciated. Thanks

    would a vga to component cable work? like from the mini dvi to vga then that is connected a vga to component cable. my tv is 1080i and i just want the full resolution w/o having to pay like 180 for a transcoder.

  • HT1665 need a audio video cable to connect to my radio in my car

    need a audio video cable to connect to my dvd player in my car what do i nedd

    What will the cay system accept?
    You can get cable for the 4G iPod that support?
    - VGA, you also need audio cable for headphone jack to car system,
    - Composite, you also need audio cable for headphone jack to car system,
    - Component, you also need audio cable for headphone jack to car system,
    - HDMI (digital AV)
    Note that TV out only works for the 4G for apps that support TV out. The Video app is one such app.

  • LIVE Streaming Video-Equipment and Cables Needed?????

    I am planning on starting a 24/7 live online tv station through ustream or livestream. I will be using my apple Macbook Pro to do this. However, I would like to be able to play DVD's, and other recordings from a DVD player through a video switch board/video mixer into my computer and into ustream. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what equipment I am going to need to do this. I already have everything to produce my shows. I just need to know what kind of video switch board/video mixer I will need and what connection cables I will need to run the video mixer to my Macbook Pro. If there is a better way to do this, I am open to suggestions. I am on a tight budget, but am willing to spend some money. Please keep in mind that I would like this station to be a 24/7 programming station on ustream or livestream and that I need to be able to set video up to run on an automated schedule. Thank You very much for any and all suggestions.

    What you need is grab video/sound form camera/mic, publish it
    on FMS and let the other clients play it. In a few steps:
    // get camera and mic
    var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera(); // get default camera
    var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone(); // get
    default mic
    // if you have VideoDisplay, for monitoring
    videoDisplay.attachCamera(cam);
    // create new RTMP connection to FMS/your app
    var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    // new stream should be create *after* nc has connected, not
    before
    // so this is executed after the below nc.connect() succeeds
    nc.attachEventListener(Event.CONNECT, function(){
    var ns:NetStream = new NetStream();
    ns.attachCamera(cam);
    ns.attachMicrophone(mic);
    ns.publish("streamname", "live"); // or "record" if you want
    to live+rec
    // connect to default instance of app 'appname' on your FMS
    nc.connect("rtmp://fms.ip.address/appname");
    If you're using Flex2 and FMS2 (the latest FMS is 3), you
    might need to
    cuange the connection encoding to AMF0 (which is what FMS2
    uses) in order for this to work.
    Hope this helps; I've written it from my head so it probably
    has mistakes, but it's the general workflow; the docs in the
    language reference for specific functions mentioned here will also
    help.

  • If I get the Apple Universal Dock , what cable do I then need to get video from the dock to my HDTV . What about audio ?

    If I get the Apple Universal Dock , what cable do I then need to get video to my HDTV ? What about the audio portion ?

    OK, so that part is correct. Then, do I just hookup and it automatically goes onto my computer? What will capture it, or will it simply show on my desktop and I need to open it with...what?

  • I need a DVI-Video adapter or a MiniDisplayPort-Video adapter to capture analog sources in my Mac.

    I need a DVI-Video adapter or a MiniDisplayPort-Video adapter to capture VCR and analog sources. Which is the right one for the Mac Pro (Early 2009 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 board)? Because i´ve seen a couple of cables but they say it´s just for Power Mac G5. I need exact model for my mac pro. I found this one but its´ just for Mac Pro with with ATI X1900 XT. The question is which one do I need for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 board? Is is the same one?

    There was a similar post just the other day with what I think is the same confusion.  You said,
    I need a DVI-Video adapter or a MiniDisplayPort-Video adapter to capture VCR and analog sources.
    And the way I read that is you want video input (keyword you used was "capture").  Is that what you really want?  If so adapters you are looking at is for video output, i.e., to send video from your computer to a display device (e.g., a TV or monitor).  If you really want to video input (into your computer) then a simple cable isn't going to work.  You need a pci card that handles such functionality.

  • Output video played on MacPro to an HDTV?

    I am asking this on behalf of a friend who has an old MacPro  .  .  .  it's Intel and he believes it's version 1.1 but can't be sure.
    He wants to output video to a flat screen TV.
    Unfortunately, unlike cheap PCs, Macs don't have HDMI sockets which would make the process simple.
    Is there a socket on his MacPro that could be used, possibly with some sort of adapter, to enable it to connect to the HDMI or Scart socket of the TV?

    Many HDTVs have DVI inputs, verify that the TV doesn't have one first. Otherwise you need a DVI to HDMI cable. You may also need to use SwitchResX if the HDTV doesn't send the correct resolution settings back thru the cable.

  • New imac to tv help:  mDVI to DVI cable, DVI to component video adapter?

    I am getting my new imac tomorrow, very excited. I would love to be able to hook it up to my HD tv which has component video inputs.
    It has two by the way, one says component video, one says component video HD. (that's the one my xbox is hooked up to.)
    I think I'm getting like 1020p or something like that?
    am aware of the lack of sound, but will have the imac hooked up to speakers so no worries on that.
    will this chain work? mDVI-DVI cable, DVI to component video adapter? then what? component video cable to tv?
    so I will need to buy two adapters and one cable right? Also, the cable is gonna need to be about 30ft long so will I be able to daisy chain cables?
    PS, what kind of resolution will I be getting with the standard (none component HD) inputs?
    thanks for the help. The info on the mac sight about adapters in not very specific to this hodge podge.

  • HELP about analog output video

    Hello, I´m need help about analog output video in Premiere CS5 using Matrox RTX2. I need to crop a video with resolution in 1440x1080 to 4:3 in output analog. But what happens is wrong (I think). My video is in format anamorphic and the other option is 16:9 letterbox. Is there any way to crop the video without using effects. Thanks a Lot and sorry my bad english (my native language is Portuguese).

    There are no 4:3 HD specifications.  You'll have to put the video into a normal SD sequence, and scale it down till the top and bottom of the video meet the frame.  That way the sides will be cut off.

  • Can't output video to Firewire via Canopus..

    Hi all,
    All of a sudden today, I am not able to output video via Firewire to my Canopus ADVC-110 with Final Cut Pro 6. I do however have video output when using programs like Logic, so the Canopus appears to be working fine. I checked the Audio/Video settings in FCP and have Firewire as Video playback, but no output is going to my monitor. What settings do I need to be looking at, in FCP. It's clearly something I did, and would like to correct it, so I can monitor video again. Please advise.
    Also...one other note, I can't seem to playback video through Firewire in Soundtrack Pro as well. But Logic Pro plays vide through the firewire device just fine. Anyone have any insite on this? Thanx in advance....

    Make sure the light is in the DV mode...press the big button a couple times to make sure. Also make sure you didn't switch to PAL mode from NTSC or something. AND...
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

    Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
    Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
    Make sure SD DVD is selected:
    (If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
    Build your DVD and you'll be fine.

    P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.
