DVI from G5 to HDMI (Sony)

Hi Forum....I'm getting ready to take a two month road trip, and am limited on space, I have a wall mounted Sony Wega....and actually got an DVI to HDMI cable to use the 32" TV as my computer monitor while away from home. It works...however, there is an annoying flicker in the HD max setting. I noticed that I cannot change the refresh rate (which I thought would eliminate the flicker)....is there anyone out there that can advise me if I can do this...or am stuck with the flicker....?
Thanks
MW

Interestingly, you are right, the sunglasses work...however, I don't want to sit in my "darkroom" doing editing using FCP.... Interestingly also, the choice in HD that the settings gave me, we in fact interlaced....but there was no choice to deselct.
I'm trying that SWITCHRESX program...but really don't know what I'm doing....
Any other recommendations Switchrez settings or ideas to stop flicker???
Thanks
Mark

  • Combined audio & video from iMac mini DVI & headphone ports to HDMI to TV

    I presently have my iMac connected to my Sony Bravia tv so that the video goes from the mini DVI port through a converter to HDMI to a 25 foot cable, a HDMI coupler and another 25 foot cable to the TV. The video quality is good since I use 24 AWG cables. The audio goes from the headphone port through a 50 foot 3.5 mm cable to a converter to RCA stereo cables to the tv. The audio quality is not very good with this setup and I would like to send the audio over the HDMI cable with the video so that I would have only a single cable over the 50 foot run and could use a HDMI wall plate for a neater installation. I am wondering whether anyone has tried this somewhat expensive solution to my kind of problem, and whether it worked. Atlona DVI + Digital Audio to HDMI Converter. Model: AT-DVID-HDMI

    Not sure if it would work. The audio input is described as +audio (SPDIF) input+ which is not analog or the Toslink optical digital. SPDIF is a digital format, so you would need another converter. And since the video input is full DVI, you'd need a different adapter for the iMac's video output.
    Considering the complexity, additional adapters, rather long travel length, and $199 price for the Atlona device, depending on what you want to show on the HDTV, you may want to consider an Apple TV. The older 40GB version is $149 at the Apple +Special Deals+ page. You can then stream your content wirelessly, and not have to worry about any cabling. But obviously, an Apple TV does not stream everything that that iMac can play, so it would only work if what you want to show is stuff you can play in iTunes. Plus you may want to see what Apple introduces at the 1/27 special event.
    The iMac's audio output port doubles as an optical digital port, with a Toslink adapter, so if the Sony Bravia has optical digital input, you may be able to run a Toslink cable. I believe 50 feet is too long, so you would need some type repeater at the midway point.

  • Can a Mac Pro support 5 DVI panels and 1 HDMI panel?

    I'm deciding between getting a Mac Pro or new PC. I have 5 DVI panels and 1 HDMI panel to support. I know a variety of PC motherboards support a variety of video cards that will support those display requirements.
    Does anybody know if the video options for the Mac Pro will also support those display requirements?

    To do this with 5770s you would need two of them and at least 2 "active" adapters. It might be more cost effective to use the 5770 it will come with and 2@ 2600XT cards.
    A simple rule of thumb for video cards, ATI/AMD cards ALL work on ALL Mac Pros (if they are Mac cards)
    When looking at Nvidia cards, you need to be aware of which model Mac you have. Some Nvidia cards will be "EFI-32" only, and some will be "EFI-64" only. New Mac Pros are all EFI64.
    http://macvidcards.com/macpro/which-mac-pro-do-you-own/
    Whatever card you get, be sure it is specifically listed as being for Mac Pros. Only with Nvidia cards do you need to worry about which model.

  • Widescreen w. DVI from Mac-Mini ?

    I bought a new monitor (Philips 200W6CS) with 1680*1050 pixels , to replace a Belinea with 1200*1000 pix.
    When connected to the mac mini it gave a very clear picture but only for only 5 minutes, ending in sleep-mode, or "no signal".
    The same DVI-cable then still gives signal to other DVI-monitor,
    The new 200W6CS does only work stable on VGA with same but less sharp 1680*1050 pix, .... and still with DVI from PC's.
    The OS here is 10.3.7..
    The video from mac-mini should support 1900*1200 pix...
    What is wrong ??, and how to fix ??
    mac mini, windows PC   Mac OS X (10.3.7)   Philips 200W6CS

    I suspect if you dug into the details of the video timing for 1680 x 1050 you would find the dot clock is above 135 MHz. The mini is not stable above that level with certain DVI receivers. Probably you will have to use a program like DisplayConfigX or SwitchRes X to lower the pixel clock below 135. Here is a thread that may help.

  • Can I directly upload video from my HDR-SR11 SONY to Premiere Pro???

    Can I directly upload video from my HDR-SR11 SONY to Premiere Pro???

    thank you Shoot.  I was afraid that the n word would answer that querie.  OK.  Please recommend a FREE software that I can use to import on to the hard drive that is reliable and w/out error messages e.g. "Browser will close" as in sonys PMH a new replacement for PMB that fails horribly.  I uninstalled and installed the Sony  PMH four or five times w/Sony "Techs" [I you want to call them that].  And they admitted that the software has problems.  The final solution from the "tech" on the phone was that to just keep on uninstalling and install until it worked.  Wow!  That coming from Sony the electronics Giant.  Below is the transcript of one of the chats concerning this issue.

  • Dv-1015ea- no sound from TV via HDMI- solved

    hi guys
    i had a problem with sound from TV via HDMI from my DV5- 1015ea. i had gone through almost all the threads but the solution was pretty similar. here is how i solved it.
    i have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
    go to device manager and open Sound, video and game controllers
     it should bring IDT HD audio CODEC (or appropriate driver/device name,depending on your machine) and
    NIVIDIA HD audio (again dependent on your machine).
    now right click on each one in turn and just select update driver.
    after its done (dont restart your pc yet, even if it asks you to)
    right click on the speaker icon/ audio icon on right side of your task bar
    open playback devices
    a new playback device should be there, called something along the lines "NVIDIA HDMI output" which should have a tv icon next to it
    single click on it and select SET DEFAULT just under the icons in the window of playback devices.
    now try playing something on PC and you should be able to watch and hear from your tv.
    **this was done with hdmi connected to the TV and the tv should be displaying the same as your PC screen.

  • Connecting from VDI to HDMI (samsung 16:9 TV) screen!

    When I try to connect to a Samsung TV screen 16:9 format using a DVI to HDMI adapter, the desktop is always bigger than the screen. No matter what size screen resolution I choose.
    Is there a special screen driver for this type of screen?
    Has any body had the same problem?
    Would it work better if I change to a DVI to VGA adapter?
    Thanks!

    There should be an overscan slider (actually labeled "Underscan") in the Displays preference for that "monitor".  Displays preferences should also give you the choices of 1080p, 1080i, etc.  Your TV may also have an overscan/underscan menu setting in its menus (my Sony does).  And as mooblie said, the TV may have a menu setting for the display area. In the case of my Sony it is referred to as "Full Pixel". 
    I don't recommend using the VGA, you won't get a HD picture from that since that's lower resolution and an analog interface.
    Finally, I don't think this is probably necessay, but you might click the Detect Displays button in the Displays preferences.  If you don't see the 1080p, etc. resolutions for that screen then maybe you do have to do this.

  • Playing sound from Mac Mini through Sony TV

    Hi all,
    I want to use my 2005 mac mini as a system to just play movies throught my Sony Bravia TV.
    The images/ video plays fine but no matter what I do there is no sound. I have tried 2 phono cables from the mac's headphone jack connected to the right ports on the TV but I still can't get sound. I have checked that the volume is up on the mac and TV.
    I can't change the setting on the Mac - when I go to the sound menu it automatically shows in the output tab Name = headphones, Type = built-in speakers. There are no other options and I can't change it. the only thing the Apple store could advise me to do was to click on the sound symbol on the desktop while holding down the Option key but I don't get the options that are supposed to come up, maybe because my mini is too old. I have tried all the sound settings available on the TV but still no sound.
    Is there anything I can do to get it working? Any help would be great.

    Not sure exactlly which model mini you have? > How to identify Mac mini models
    But audio is not supported out of the DVI or Mini DVI ports.
    Unless you have a newer model with an HDMI port you will have to use a 3.5mm audio cable from the Mac Mini's headphone jack to the TV.
    Depending on the TVs audio input (3.5mm or RCA) you will need a long enough cable to reach the TV using either:

  • HP 2310ei Monitor (DP/DVI-D) to VGA/HDMI laptop

    So, I recently bought the HP 2310ei Monitor. It has DisplayPort and DVI-D connections.
    Originally I had planned to just use a VGA/DVI adapter, but I didn't realise that there's a difference between DVI-I and DVI-D. Now I'm wondering, whats my best option?
    Buy a Vga to DVI-D adapter? Or a Vga to DisplayPort?
    Or maybe go with HDMI to DisplayPort?
    On the official DisplayPort website I read that there is no efficient way to connect a VGA Laptop to a DisplayPort monitor because of Analog/Digital, whatever that means, but in a different topic on this bord I also read that someone who bought a HDMI to DisplayPort cable couldnt get it working, so I'm kinda at a loss.
    What are my best options?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the computer that is being connected to this monitor.  
    There isn't a VGA to DVI-D adapter nor a VGA to DisplayPort adapter on the market, however there may be some expensive active convertors. Depending on your exact computer and its video output ports, you may have a few options. Being that you also ask about going from HDMI to DisplayPort, one can assume your computer has an HDMI out. If this is the case... the easiest, cheapest, and way to connect an HDMI output to the HP 2310ei is with an HDMI-to-DVI cable.
