Mini DVI to Video Adapter - S-Video Resolutions / HDMI

Hello,
I just got my Mini DVI to Video Adapter and I using a S-Video cable to plug to my HD LCD 32'' TV.
When I connect everything, the resolution drops from 1280x800 to 1024x768.
How can I change back to 1280x800?
I don't know but I'm kind of disappointed with the QUALITY of the video... is there any way I could improve this? Perhaps using a Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter? Does it exist? Will upgrade the resolution and/or the quality of the video?
I've read that audio is not supported using the Mini-DVI. To be honest, I don't really care about the audio... I can use the analog. But I'm very very disappointed with the quality of the video...
Thanks anyone

Well,
Based on what you said, I should have three options:
A: MacBook -> MiniDVI to DVI Adapter -> DVI to HDMI cable -> TV with HDMI input
C: MacBook -> MiniDVI to DVI Adapter -> DVI to DVI cable -> TV with DVI input
B: MacBook -> MiniDVI to HDMI Adapter -> HDMI cable -> TV with HDMI input
What should work best?
My TV does not support DVI input, so that's kind of narrow it down, right?! Leaving options A and C.
I don't have any of the adapters. In both ways I'll end up having to buy stuff. Which is less expansive?
Thanks in advance
Cheers.

HDMI Output not work on Encore Tablet

Hi guys,
First post and a new user of the Toshiba Encore.
Some background - I had a faulty Encore previously, but it would connect to my HDMI screen. The replacement, now 3 weeks old, works perfectly, except yesterday I tried HDMI out for sound (to an HDMI amplifier) but nothing. And then I decided to see if it would do HDMI out video - and nothing.
I plugged in the same cable that worked on the faulty tablet and to the same screen. I hit the devices charm and duplicated (and even tried extending) the screen. Nothing. I tried both HDMI ports on the screen. Nothing.
The last (faulty) tablet would make the sound that a new device was installed when I plugged HDMI in. This one makes no sounds. It's like the HDMI port isn't connected at all.
What advice would you give? I have downloaded all BIOS and Windows updates. I used the Intel update tool and everything is current. So what could I try to troubleshoot to get this to go?
Will happily provide more info if needed.
Cheers

This HDMI connection still does not work. It only shows on the TV not on both. I have spoken to Toshiba Software and they have a fix which are some special tools at a one off charge of £84. They say the problem is to do with the HDMI only sending at 30 Hz and the TV being at 60Hz. They also say the fix will provide mirroring as the resolution of the TV and Encore are not compatible. As I only paid £177 for Encore I am reluctant to pay such a high amount. They also advised that you must be connected with the mains adaptor because the battery is not powerful enough to sustain the signal. My laptop works fine and I have a new HDMI cable for Encore.
Any further thoughts?

How to connect my Satellite C650 to TV with HDMI cable?

The television is a samsung 1080p one, i would be grateful for some advice.
Many thanks

Hello Claire
I presume you use your notebook with original preinstalled OS that you got with your notebook so it should work without problems.
Connect your notebook to the TV with HDMI cable. If your TV has several HDMI ports please enable right port on TV and after doing this use FN+F5 key combination to switch from notebook to the TV.
When you use FN+F5 key combination can you see several options including HDMI option?

Does the mini DVI port cary audio if using a Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter?

Hello everyone,
I've heard it is possible for a DVI port to transmit audio data to a HDMI connection if a DVI to HDMI cable is used, which will allow the sending of both audio and video to your TV. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalVisualInterface
I'm assuming this is not possible using apples mini DVI port, but just wanted to check to make sure. My main goal is to get surround sound out of my powerbook. To do this by simply adding a Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter would be GREAT!

Hi Jonathan,
I'm assuming this is not possible using apples mini DVI port
Yup, no audio, unfortunately. The audio will have to transmitted separately via the analog audio output.

Help with sound to LCD TV when using HDMI

I would love any assistance with a problem I am having. I have a new mac mini with a 40" Proscan LCD. I am using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and am getting great video - 1080. My issue is that via Keynote I need to get sound to the LCD TV. It is coming through the mini speaker - what do I need to do to get the sound over to the TV? Any assistance would be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The user guide which came with your TV should cover the issue in the different connections available for your unit.
DVI is video only. HDMI is audio and video. If you are using an adapter to connect DVI to HDMI there is no audio because of this. So to connect a Mac mini with a DVI to HDMI adapter you will also need an audio cable to run the audio from the mini's audio outport to an audio inport on the TV. This is why I refer you to the user guide for your unit, because it should point out the correct port to use on the TV, as well as point out if you have options for using analog or digital audio. The mini's audio ports can do both.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be for FREE!
Ciao.

Cannot Connect Imac 24" via mini dvi to HDMi adapter cable to Sony Bravia 3

Hello Everyone,
I'm having the worst time in trying to connect the following:
1. Imac 24" 3.06 dual with dvi connection
2. Mini dvi to HDMI adapter (this mac with this connection was produced only for a short while!).
3. 10' (foor) HDMI wire
3. Sony Bravia 32" model KDL32L-5000 with 3 HDML connections
i.When I wire everything up, I keep getting"no signal" on my Sony Bravia TV.
ii. It doesn't matter whether I connect the HDMI wire to HDMI 1,2, or 3 on my Sony
iii. On my Imac Hard Drive>>Applications>>System Preferences>>Displays
all I get is a list of different resolutions. There is no mention or mirrors etc.
Nothing happens when I press "Gather Windows" or Detect Displays"
Can someone out there please help!!!!!
Can you also give any solution in very simple and small detailed steps!
Thanks,
Stacey Bindman

Majortrout, there is a major disconnect going on here.
1. You are showing an Ebay link with a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
2. You report that you have an Early '09 24" iMac.
3. That iMac does not have a mini-DVI port. That iMac has a mini-DispayPort.
4. You need a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
It is physically impossible to attach the adapter to which you link at Ebay to your iMac. So you need to take a step back and figure out what you really have; which iMac, which adapter, etc.

Can I use a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter to use my HDTV as a monitor?

I've been looking into this and haven't found a direct and complete answer yet. I read this article that states its possible when using mini-DVI to VGA/DVI adapters, but didn't mention mini-DVI to HDMI adapters.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3413
Apple also doesn't offer mini-DVI to HDMI adapters, so where would be a good place to look for one and what do you think I should pay for it?

If you have a unibody MBP, you need a mini-Displayport adapter, not a mini-DVI adapter.
If you don't mind running a separate audio cable in addition to the HDMI cable from your MBP to your TV set, buy this adapter:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=5311&x=0&y=0
If you want to combine video and audio into a single HDMI cable, buy one of these two adapters:
http://kanexlive.com/products/item.aspx?id=3323 (for two-channel stereo audio)
http://kanexlive.com/products/item.aspx?id=3495 (for 5.1-channel digital surround audio from sources that include it)

VGA vs Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter

I'm about to buy an external monitor to use with my MacBook Pro late 2008. I do understand HDMI (digital) looks much better than VGA (analog), so I'm thinking about buying a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter. My questions are:
Does the Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter decrease video quality? Is it noticeable?
Is it worth buying the adapter? If so, are there any known issues with third-party adapters?
Thanks in advance for your time!
João

If your macbook has mini-DVI then HDMI or no HDMI you will not get any audio passed through the HDMI connection because DVI does not pass audio. You would need to pass the audio separately via analog stereo line out.
But what difference does it make anyhow? You intend to use this as a monitor as opposed to hooking it up to a HDTV.
So long as you use a digitial interface HDMI, DVI, mini-displayport, etc. you are not going to loose any quality. It's digital. It either works or it doesn't. VGA, being analog, will of course be less quality.
I don't even know why you care about converting to HDMI when you could just convert mini-DVI to standard DVI and use a monitor that accepts standard DVI. They're plenty of those around.
Another consideration with a DVI interface is that if the monitor has a resolution greater than 1920 x 1200 you need a dual link DVI adapter as opposed to a single link DVI adapter.

HT4241 Mini DVI to HDMI adapter. Not gettint desktop to show on TV

I have the Apple mini to HDMI adapter. When I plug my late 2008 Mac 13" up to my TV, it doesn't show my desktop. It acts like a 2nd screen. I can drag stuff from my Mac desktop over to the TV. Is there a setting I am not finding I need to change?

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.

Mini dvi to hdmi adapter

I have ordered a mini dvi to female hdmi adapter for my MacBook...and hdmi cable to run to my Pansonic HDTV; so I can watch movies I rent from iTunes.
Do I need an additional cable for sound? If so, please inform what I need? I do have HDMI Audio input wht/red connections on back of TV. I just don't know what to buy if I need an additional long cable for audio?
Can I set this up to have video and audio connection with one cable?

I had a similar question a couple days ago. Below is a link to the discussion. It may help

Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter or Mini-DVI to DVI cable?

I know Apple has a couple different Mini-DVI adapters for their Powerbook and MacBook computers. I don't especially like adapters and was wondering if anyone knows of a Mini-DVI to DVI cable.
Also, with the gaining popularity of HDMI, do you think we will ever see a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter or cable?

Hi,
I know it is changing the subject, but I've been long frustrated by Apple's penchant for odd connectors, especially video connectors. Remember old quadras with 13 pin D connectors, powerbooks with square connectors, 7100s with I-don't-know-what connectors? All the while, ye olde VGA 15-pin D-sub connector was on just about everything else - even gas chromatographs.
We also got that funny mini-dix (Digital-Intel-Xerox) Ethernet connector on powerbooks when PCs were outfitted with familiar RJ-45 jacks. I did see one other machine that had the mini-dix: a government spec Zenith notebook.
I'm surprised Apple didn't use a VGA connector on the Macbook, given its above average exposure in the educational environment and greater than average odds of being hooked up to a lectern in a distance learning room. Pretty much to a tee, every distance learning setup I've seen has a VGA cable at the presenter's lectern. I worked in a university IT department, and it was pretty common for our loaner laptops to come back missing just about any ancillary goodie that could be misplaced. It isn't so bad to have to routinely stuff a new $2.00 cat-5 cable in the bag, but a $20.00 video dongle - not so good!
If Apple just couldn't countenance the idea of a VGA connector, I wonder how hard it would have been to have a normal size DVI connector? At least DVI-to-VGA connectors are easier to find, and better, aren't so expensive.

How can I connect my 3gen apple tv with HDMI to my BUSH LCD32TV022HD
This does not have an HDMI port but does have:-
1) S-Video I/P,
2) Video I/P,
3) Audio Input (Left & Right)
4) Audio In jack (for VGA and DVI source)
5) DVI input
6) VGA input

Welcome to the Apple community.
The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..
