Component Video converter?

Hi,
None of my equipment (tv, a/v reciever, etc) has componenet video inputs. I have composite video and s-video on my a/v receiver. Has anyone had any luck finding converters for the component video cable so that they can hook up their AppleTV to such devices?
Thanks,

I have a panasonic a/v reciever that takes various inputs from my devices such as the DVD player, DVR, VCR, CD player, etc... Unfortunately, even though it's only a year or two old, it only accepts s-video, RCA, and optical audio inputs. It's a very nice surround sound system set up but it's looking like all the new devices have component video out. There doesn't seem to be any corresponding receiver system that can accept all those signals and send them to the speakers/TV.
What is everyone connecting all their devices to? Directly to their HDTV? Personally, I currently have in my set up a DVD player, ReplayTV, Playstation 2, Nintendo64, and an Airport Express. I'm pretty much at a loss right now as to how to get this settup to recieve the AppleTV input.

  • Only green when connecting  thru an hdmi to component video converter

    I get only green color display when connecting Apple TV 2nd gen thru an hdmi to component video converter and I tried resetting and all the video output options - any ideas???

    Only HDMI is officially supported with the device. There will be no guarantee with a converter.

  • Can you use Apple TV 3rd generation with a hdmi-component video converter

    Does Apple TV 3G support any hdmi to component video adapters for use with older plasma tv's without hdmi inputs?

    HDMI is the only supported method. There will be no guarantee with any converter. If it does work you will be unable to play protected content (ie iTunes, Netflix)

  • How do i stream my iMac screen to a device that accepts component video only

    I have a new iMac (2015) and I want to send my screen from my mac to a video switcher called a NewTek Tricaster 40. It only accepts component or composite video input. I want to send my iMac's screen to it in real time so I can incorporate it into my live video productions. I have attempted to use several HDMI to component converters and none have worked. I am using the Kanex Pro HDMI to Component Converter to convert the HDMI out from two HD camcorders to component and sending that into my Tricaster 40. It is seeing the signal just fine and giving me solid HD video. So I attempted to use the same Kanex Pro for the iMac. First I used apple's lightning to HDMI cable then plugged that HDMI into another Kanex Pro HDMI to component converter. No dice. I tried all the component video settings: 1080p 30PsF, 1080 24PsF, 1080i, 720p, 720/30p, 720/24p. None worked

    Next I purchased an apple lightning to DVI adaptor. Then I plugged the DVI into this Lindy DVI to component converter. It also failed at all resolutions. None worked for SD resolutions either.

    After hunting for a solution someone suggested that HDCP protection might be my problem. Apparently in an effort to keep people form pirating movies Microsoft and apple use HDCP to keep people form making this conversion? I'm nor sure how this works I just know that I am leagaly allowed to incorporate brief news clips into my news comentary on my youtub channel so long as I cite them and add to them substantially. I do both. So is HDCP my issue? If so what is the work around?

    NewTek has a program called IVGA that will allow me to share my screen over my local network but the frame rate is horribly choppy and is not useful for capturing video clips form youtube or game play.
    Bottom line how do I stream high quality (720 /24p minimum) video from my iMac to a device that only accepts component video in.

    I did end up using an apple thunderbolt to DVI.

    On my iMac:
    I had to go into my device settings > Display
    then I set the "Optimize for:" to "CAT-6066"
    after that I selected the "Scaled" option right underneath
    then i selected 1080i because the Kanex Pro is designed to convert 1080i into component
    I was then able to get my NewTek Tricaster 40 to recognize that component signal from the Kanex Pro and add it to my production as 1080i or as 1080p/30. The frame rate looks great and the video quality is very smooth and in real time.

  • Mini DisplayPort to Component Video, is This Possible?

    Hi,
    I have a 2010 model 15" MacBook Pro i5.
    I am currently using a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter, this video converter (http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-VGA2TV-Computer-Presentation-Converter/dp/B000X3 FAJU/ref=accglance_MI_ai_purchase_similarities_t5), and a standard RCA video cable to connect it to my TV.
    My TV also has component video (YPbPr) inputs. Is it possible to output video using the MDP-to-VGA adapter and a cable like this one?: http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Component-High-Resolution-Cable/dp/B000YI24J8/ref=sr18?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1255662264&sr=8-8
    Anyone have any experience with MDP-to-component and can tell me what would be needed to achieve this connection?
    Thanks.

    I don't believe the adapter you're asking about will work. You need a converter box:

  • How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

    I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
    I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
    Thanx

    I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera...  is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...

  • DVI to Component Video Output YpBr- Mac Pro NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Card

    Hello-
    I am trying to use my Mac Pro as a media machine, but to do this I need to convert the DVI signal to Component video. The video switch I am using is Component only, so that is the reason why I cannot go HDMI.
    What is the best solution? Do they make an adapter that will convert? Is there a graphics card issue?
    On a sidenote, will the computer be able to operate with two video cards? I was thinking of having one HDMI output to my main television monitor, and having component video going to my switch for the other monitors located around the house.

    What about upgrading to this video card?

    It will give more graphics performance, but you don't need it for just displaying video. If you do want extra performance, get the ATI Radeon HD 4870

  • New Mini - DVI to component video?

    I'm thinking of purchasing a new Intel Mini but want to connect it to my TV. My current Intel/Beyond TV box uses S-Video and is less than optimal.
    My TV is:
    Sony VEGA KV-32XBR450
    HD/DVD In ports - 1080i/480p/480i - Y,Pb,Pr component video jacks

    Here is a product that I found online. I have no idea if it will work for you and have nothing to do with the company. I have the same need as you and wish to have HDTV video out. My Sony Wega KV-40XBR800 needs to have the scan rate and resolution set correctly or it will damage the CRT via DVI or Component. This converter doesn't do 1080i but it does give you 1152x864 and sets the scan rates accordingly (I assume). It's kind of a hack as far as I'm concerned and I'll wait until someone (Hopefully Apple) supplies us with a proper HDTV Component solution.
    Of course we could just buy new HDTVs that have DVI-I and HDMI like the Sharp Aquos LC-45GD7U. Being that it's an LCD I believe the Aquos should work with DVI, HDMI, or Component (Via the online Manual) as stated on apples MacMini Duo Accessories page (http://www.apple.com/macmini/accessories.html) but I'm not for sure because I don't have one to test. Of course buying another HDTV is redundant and expensive to say the least.
    Best of luck,

  • ATI dvi to component video adapter?

    I have an older HDTV that only has component video inputs (for HD signals anyway). The macbook pro has an ATI graphics processor, so I took a chance and ordered the ATI dvi to component video adapter:
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=replaylink-20&camp= 1789&creative=9325&path=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB00068NSZA
    I know it doesn't work with the old ati single-link dvi macs, has anyone tried it with the new x1600 based macs?

    I have the same problem. I have found out that RGB output from computers is actually RGBHV, which includes vertical and horizontal sync signals. Therefore conversion from Macbook Pro DVI or RGB to plasma component (YPrPb) requires more than just a simple converter like ATI DVI to Component video adaptor, unless Apple can output component video from the video card (that's theoretically possible, but it depends on how Apple integrated the chipset into the motherboard, according to ATI).
    The alternative is to use a processor to convert the signal. Key Digital produce a signal transcoder, KT-VTCA3. http://www.keydigital.com/ProductDetail.aspx?categorycode=500&itemno=KDVTCA3&pro ductname=Video%20and%20Control%20Adapters. I have ordered one of these and believe it will work, in lieu of Apple providing a means for outputting component video directly from the Macbook Pro.

  • DVI to Component Video - Compatibility Question

    Hello, everyone. I am in a pickle with my soon to be new Mac Mini, concerning the issue of hooking it up to a TV for use as a monitor.
    My problem is thus: The TV is a 26" LCD with only a maximum of a Component Video input (no VGA or HDMI), and the Mini has only DVI out. I have seen a cable and/or adapter on the internet that converts DVI to Component, but there is a warning that says the DVI port must support it, or the graphics card must support it. I am wondering if anyone knew if this would work with the Mac Mini. My only other alternative is to use the DVI to Video adapter with S-Video, which on the 1368x768 TV would be inferior. I would prefer component, but am unsure if it would even work because Apple's Tech Specs on the Mini lists only DVI to VGA conversion or the S-Video/Composite adapter, and does not specifically say if it supports Component.
    Any support would be GREATLY appreciated, as I have been up for three hours into the wee hours researching all the aspects of my problem, and am unable to figure it out. THANK YOU!
    Duncan
    EDIT: Here is a link to the adapter: http://sewelldirect.com/dvivideoadapter.asp
    And cable: http://sewelldirect.com/DVI-to-Component-Adapter-Cable-6ft.asp
    That way you can see what I mean about that cryptic warning. All I need to know is if the Mac Mini can support that sucker! Thanks again!

    Our local video "expert" is BSteely, and hopefully he will weigh in on your question.
    Some posts of his from the past, which may relate:

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5537321&#5537321
    The impression I get is that you might need a more expensive adapter to convert DVI to component.
    BTW can you give us the model number of your LCD TV? Thanks!
    AppleTV is probably better suited for a component-only TV, though the Mini can certainly do a good job when the TV does have digital or VGA inputs.

  • Component Video/Stereo Audio

    Is there any way to get component video and analog stereo out of the new AppleTV with a apple converter? Need this to go into an existing 16x16 component matrix switcher.

    The problem you will encounter doing this is that component doesn't carry HDCP, and therefore any HDCP content will not play on your Apple tv.
    Not quite true, Winston. Check out the HDFury line of products. Their units include HDCP support. However, like most other such devices, the HDFury units do not include scaling capabilities. Therefore, you must be sure that the device to which you wish to connect it supports the TV2's 720p output as an input option. (E.g., my old Philips HD ready TV only supported 480p and 1080i but not 720p video.) Also of interest is the fact that some of these units also support HDMI to stereo/digital 5.1 audio via an analog/digital combo 3.5 mm cable.
    In any event, I'm presenting the March SJAUG TV2 demonstration for our user group and just purchased the HDFury3 "Advanced Kit" in order to capture TV2 firmware menu images for inclusion in my resource presentation. It worked great! Both the HDFury2 and HDFury3 have switchable Component/RGBHV output options depending on your needs and connector adapter you use. Unfortunately, owing to the popularity of this device and sales demands here in the US, I had to order my kit from the Taiwan manufacturer.

  • Is there a Thunderbolt to Component Video cable / adapter for the new iMac?

    Hello!
    My church is looking to purchase a new iMac to run our presentation software.
    We currently have a PC that has a graphics card which has a component-out cable.  We connect that to a component video distribution amplifer to distribute to several HDTVs and a projector.
    Is there a way to connect the iMac to a component video (Y, Pb, Pr or Red blue Green) input?
    I understand that DVI is digital and Component is analog, but has anyone found a device, cable, and/or adapter that will do the job?
    Thanks,
