Is VGA a common input to a video projector?

What are common inputs on video projectors? If I get a VGA adaptor for my iPad 2, can I feel confident that it will work with a projector at a meeting I will attend?

Yes, VGA is a common input.

Mini DVi to VGA : impossible to display to a video projector

hello !!!
I bought a MINI DVI to VGA adaptor and i as soon as i connect my videoprojector (Sanyo) to my Imac with the mini DVI-VGA adaptor, my Imac screen freezes and nothing appears on the video projector screen.
What can I do ?
Thanks

Not exactly, though you can reset the PMU of an iMac flat panel machine with a PowerPC G4 processor, reset the SMU of a G5 PowerPC-equipped platform, or reset the SMC of one driven by an intel processor.
Any corrupted settings stored which might affect your external video will be dealt with by those processes. Have you attached the adapter alone and seen this same outcome, or does it occur only when a VGA projector is attached to the adapter?

Problem connecting MacBook to a Sharp video projector

One of the great things I like about Macs is the easy way they (usually) connect to a video projector. Unlike a lot of my friends who run PCs with Windows I never had any problems whatsoever connecting my MacBook to a projector at the university and start my presentations.
Until today that is.
I tried to connect my MacBook with Apple's mini-DVI to VGA adapter to a Sharp ("Notevision") video projector and although the MacBook had the projector (even with its correct name "PG-M20X" and available resolution settings) listed under "Displays" immediately, I couldn't get the projector to show any more than "no signal" whatever input source I chose...
What did I do wrong? Or is it the projector that is somehow "incompatible"?! Please help!

Maybe this could help as well:
After we tried several things with the MacBook (reboot, "detect displays" etc.), we successfully connected a Powerbook (15", FireWire 800, late 2003) to the projector, using Apple's DVI-VGA Adapter.
So that did work out fine, but the MacBook didn't work on the projector. The cable that came with the projector was a VGA--DVI-A cable: there were only a few pins on the DVI-end of it going into the DVI-Connector on the projector. Could it have something to do with that? But why didn't the Powerbook have any problems connecting to the projector then?

Mac Book Pro to video projector

How can I connect my mac book pro to a video projector?

Without knowing what kind of video projector or which MacBook Pro, it's difficult to answer. But, if you have a recent MBP, you need a MiniDisplayPort to DVI or VGA adapter, depending on what your video projector accepts. You can pick them up from the Apple Store either online or in person.

Apple TV to VGA input video projector-what do I need

Please help.
My understanding is that the Apple TV has HDMI output. I want to hook it up to a video projector that only has VGA in. Someone told me that all I need is a simple inexpensive HDMI to VGA cable. Then I read something that seems to comflict with this.
Please clarify. Is the simple inexpensive cable all I need, or is there something else I need?
Thank you very much for your help.

There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
HDCP
HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Resolution and aspect ratio
I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p.

No VGA or DVI input signal

I recently found my old HP Pavilion a6228x after 2 months of not using it, and hooked it up to my w1907 monitor with a vga cable. It says that there is no VGA or DVI input signal, with the black arrow pointing at DVI. I can't switch from DVI to VGA because everytime I press the menu button, the screen will say "Monitor going to sleep." The monitor works fine with my laptop and the same vga cable. Help?

Hi,
Since the monitor and cable are known to be good then make sure that you are plugging the video card into the video card's VGA port if a a video card is installed. If the video card has a DVI port then use a native DVI cable between the monitor and the video card.
If there is a video card in your PC then try reseating it (remove and replace). If that doesn't work then remove the video card and plug the VGA cable into the motherboard's VGA port.
Only connect one active video feed to the monitor.
Try a monitor reset. Unplug the monitor’s power cord and hold down the monitor’s power button for 30-60 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and power it up.

No signal via DVI to VGA adapter on my video projector Sharp PGM 15X

Hi there!
I have a big problem with my video projector. It´s connected via mini DVI to VGA adapter to
the projector. The problem is, Mac OSX decect the projector but there is no picture.
To resize the solution on both, or one of them doesn´t help.
When I use my Bootcamp and reboot with Windows XP there is a picture on the video projector.
I cant believe this.
What should I do to fix this problem?

I got my Mac Mini yesterday and I am having the exact same problem as you are having.
I've tried on two different TV's but it is just not sending a signal. Is it faulty?

Is there a way to predict which video projectors will not work with the 2012 MacBook Air using the Mini-display to VGA adapter?

I recently upgraded from a 2011 MBA to a 2012 MBA due to the larger capacity SSD. The 2011 MBA running Lion and Mountain Lion worked with every video projector for lectures. The new 2012 MBA is hit or miss with video projectors. It is not an adapter problem. I have multiple Apple mini-display to VGA adapters with the latest firmware. They all work just fine with the 2011 MBA. Re-starting the 2012 MBA with the adapter and projector connected has not helped.
It it not acceptable to have a laptop that works with projectors some of the time. Apple is aware of the problem. Is the only choice to go back to the 2011 MBA?
RC

I installed 10.8.2 update today with my 2012 MBA. The details of the update include: Resolves a video issue with some VGA projectors when connected to certain Mac notebooks.
I tried using the MBA with a video projector and it found the correct resolution and connected with the projector automatically. Using detect displays in the disoplay preference pane wasn't even necessary.
I hope this is the fix I have been waiting for with the 2012 MBA.
Thank you Apple.

Please help! Not able to set Video input Port(S-Video or Composite)on Linux

Hi
I am using JMF2.1.1e(Linux performance pack) for video capturing on Linux OS. I want to set video input port(S-Video or composite) through my application. I am using the following code:
     if ( dataSource != null )
          arrControls = dataSource.getControls ();
     if ( arrControls != null )
          nCount = arrControls.length;
     System.out.println("No. of Controls: " + nCount);
     for ( i = 0; i < nCount; i++ )
          if ( arrControls[i] == null )
               continue;
          if ( !(arrControls[i] instanceof Control) )
               continue;
          componentControl = ((Control)arrControls).getControlComponent ();
          System.out.println("ComponentControl : " + componentControl);
          if ( componentControl == null )
               continue;
But, i am getting No. of Controls: 0 (Zero). So i am not able to get any control component also. Rest of the application is working fine. Please help me solving this problem.
Thanks in advance.

To go a stage further.
Google run a Jabber server for their service.
Jabber apps (those that can) use a Protocol called Jingle to make the A/V connections.
Google's version is not even that compatible with other Jabber apps. (See Here)
The Plug-in in the Google Install (Or the Standalone Web Browser Plug-in allow Browsers to access the GoogleTalk A/V side as does the Standalone PC app called GoogleTalk as well.
iChat uses a process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to connect to other iChat Users or to the AIM for PC app.
However this also works in any iChat to iChat Connection no matter if the Buddy List is an AIM Login based one, Jabber (including GoogleTalk) or A LAN based Bonjour Chat.
In you care this is not going to work.
Getting the Standalone (Intel only) Browser Plug-in and using the Chat option in the Google Mail Web page is probably the easiest option.

Splitting Mini VGA signal between monitor and video projector??

Hello there,
I'm trying to develop an inexpensive tech setup for a classroom/lecture environment involving a mac mini. However, since the mini has only 1 DVI/VGA port, I am wondering how possible it is to split the VGA output and send it to both a VGA monitor (so the teacher can see what they're doing) and a video projector (so the students can see it) simultaneously.
In other words, the same screen content is sent to both display sources.
Can anyone recommend a reliable solution? I've researched 3rd-party VGA splitters to some extent, but am looking for some actual 'on the ground' experience doing this successfully.
Many thanks,
Richard

Thank you for your suggestion. I will look in to this.
I should haven mentioned that the video projector is ceiling-mounted at the back of the room while the Mini and monitor are positioned at the front of the classroom, so I am also concerned about lengthy cable-runs.
Thanks
Richard

Should Arch have a common input method ?

Should Arch have a common input method ?
Arch is a really great distro,so I think there are a lots of arch users all over the world.
And I believe that more and more people will know Arch,use Arch,Love to use Arch
But I am curious about that : everyone use english only? Just input English only?
For me I need a input method to input Chinese in gedit,gnome-terminal,openoffice and so on.
I guess some users( in particular for non-English users) also need it for their own language.
So I eager hope Arch will official have common method support.
And SCIM is a good choice--Smart Common Input Method.
Old Homepage http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/scim
New homepage http://www.scim-im.org/
And http://sourceforge.net/projects/scim/
SCIM is the defaults Chinene input moethod in SUSE Mandriva(formerly mandrake),and included in Fedoa's Repo.
Tt also is the defauls input moethod for CJK(Chinese/Korea/Japanese) users,SCIM supports a large
number of input methods in a bunch of languages,and trying to enumerate all the input method
engines and their corresponding languages.
scim- scim is the core package, which provides the fundamental routines and data types
skim - An input method based on SCIM library and KDE/QT.
scim-{anthy,canna,prime,skk,wnn} - IMEngines for Japanese
scim-chewing - IMEngine for Tranditional Chinese
scim-pinyin- Currently contains a Smart Pinyin IMEngine for Simplified Chinese.
scim-fcitx - fcitx ported to scim for Chinese
scim-tables - Contains many table based input methods.
scim-uim - A wrapper to use uim as an IMEngine of SCIM.
scim-m17n - A wrapper to use m17n library as an IMEngine of SCIM.
scim-qtimm - Qt-immodule support for scim.
scim-hangul - A Hangul !IMEngine which is ported from imhangul project.
scim-input-pad - scim-input-pad is an OnScreen input pad for SCIM used to input some symbols very easily

cactus wrote:@dibble: in fact, I would. Then i would set out to make the packages myself so I could use them, or try to form a group of like minded individuals to create a language specific port.
i don't want to start a massive fight about this cactus because you know I respect your views but i wonder how a group of people that require internationalization support can collaborate on a project without a common language?
We can already see that miracle is doing his best to get his point across with varying sucess, i can't imagine trying to achieve many harder things in the internet environment, never mind establishing a project. Of course this is well within the users power but i really think that in this instance non-enlgish speaking users would greatly benefit from the support of experience Arch Users who have english as first langauge.
miracle - if the PKGs are in the AUR you need to contact other arch users, possibly on the other languages forums, and tell them to vote for the scim pkgs

Generalise business rule to fetch common inputs region wise

Hi,
Our entity dimension is changed to program(Which means projects) dimension which will include the location as a parent and under that are the list of programs specific to that location. our legal entity is a custom dimension. This change is done to enable the workflow program wise. Now there are certain planning assumptions which are common across programs in a country. The common inputs are captured against a member in entity and legalentity dimension. The member names are something like IND_Prog_assumptions in entity dimension and India_Assumptions in Legalentity dimension. The hierarchy is something like below
LegalEntity,India,Chennai,Location1
LegalEntity,India,Chennai,Location2
LegalEntity,India,India_Assumptions
Entity,IND_Programs,Prog1
Entity,IND_Programs,Prog2
Entity,IND_Programs,IND_Prog_Assumptions
There are sone calculations which will involve pulling the data from these common inputs. I have written a business rule by fixing each and every location separetely. Is there a way to generalise this? i.e. Check what the current location is. And then get the corresponding member like IND_Prog_assumptions for that location. Basically one fix statement which will do the calculation based on the selected entity and legalentity dimension.
FIX(@DESCENDANTS(India),@DESCENDANTS(IND_Direct))
"Shrinkage %" = @ROUND(((India_Assumptions->IND_Prog_Assumptions->"Holidays in a year")/(India_Assumptions->IND_Prog_Assumptions->"Total working days in a year"))*100,2);
ENDFIX
FIX(@DESCENDANTS(USA),@DESCENDANTS(USA_Direct))
"Shrinkage %" = @ROUND(((USA_Assumptions->USA_Prog_Assumptions->"Holidays in a year")/(USA_Assumptions->USA_Prog_Assumptions->"Total working days in a year"))*100,2);
ENDFIX

Hi msandrews,
Thanks for your response. Your suggestion worked well.
But now the problem is different coz the requirement has changed. The common inputs are captured against the members like IND_Prog_Assumptions,US_Prog_Assumptions,Phillippines_Prog_Assumptions in the Entity dimension and India_Assumptions,USA_Assumptions,Phillippines_Assumptions in the Legalentity dimension. These common inputs have to be pushed to the other programs in the entity dimension as well as in the location dimension region wise. For eg. the value captured against IND_Prog_Assumptions and India_Assumptions have to be copied to the programs which run in india and the value captured USA_Prog_Assumptions and USA_Assumptions have to be copied to the programs running in USA. The hierarchy of LegalEntity and Entity dimension is here again for your reference.
LegalEntity,Global,APAC,India,Chennai,Location1
LegalEntity,Global,APAC,India,Chennai,Location2
LegalEntity,Global,APAC,India,India_Assumptions
LegalEntity,Global,APAC,Phillippines,City1,Location1
LegalEntity,Global,APAC,Phillippines,City1,Location2
LegalEntity,Global,APAC,Phillippines,Phillippines_Assumptions
LegalEntity,Global,North_America,USA,City1,Location1
LegalEntity,Global,North_America,USA,City1,Location2
LegalEntity,Global,North_America,USA,USA_Assumptions
Entity,Global_Direct,IND_Direct,SD_IND,Prog1
Entity,Global_Direct,IND_Direct,SD_IND,Prog2
Entity,Global_Direct,IND_Direct,BD_IND,Prog1
Entity,Global_Direct,IND_Direct,BD_IND,Prog1
Entity,Global_Direct,IND_Direct,IND_Prog_Assumptions
Entity,Global_Direct,US_Direct,SD_US,Prog1
Entity,Global_Direct,US_Direct,SD_US,Prog2
Entity,Global_Direct,US_Direct,BD_US,Prog1
Entity,Global_Direct,US_Direct,BD_US,Prog1
Entity,Global_Direct,US_Direct,USA_Prog_Assumptions
Entity,Global_Direct,Phillippines_Direct,SD_Phillippines,Prog1
Entity,Global_Direct,Phillippines_Direct,SD_Phillippines,Prog2
Entity,Global_Direct,Phillippines_Direct,BD_Phillippines,Prog1
Entity,Global_Direct,Phillippines_Direct,BD_Phillippines,Prog1
Entity,Global_Direct,Phillippines_Direct,Phillippines_Prog_Assumptions
I tried to do something with DATACOPY. But nothing worked out. I am confused in proceeding.
Your help is highly appreciated.

Connections: 3 HDMI; 1 S-Video input; 2 Component Video; 3 Composite Video

Hi,
I just went to the store to get a HDMI-DVI and mini (from my macbook) to DVI to watch my MB on my tv. I only see the desktop background without the icons or any window I have open. What am I doing wrong? Please help Are there any specials steps to see the whole enchilada?
Here are my tv's specs:
Connections: 3 HDMI; 1 S-Video input; 2 Component Video; 3 Composite Video Inputs; 1 RS232 Control; 1 Digital Audio Output; 1 PC Video Input; 1 PC Audio Input
thank you.

Connect the MB to its AC adapter. Now close the lid on the MB so it goes to sleep. Now plug in a USB mouse to the MB so it wakes up again. When it wakes up with the lid down, only the TV will be used as the display and the menu bar and everything will be on the TV. Once that happens, you can open the MacBook's lid if you need to use the keyboard. You could also plug in a USB keyboard and leave the lid down as an alternative. If you don't own a USB keyboard or USB mouse, you can wake up the MB with another USB device, like a flash memory stick.
