ATV2 on SD Projector via VGA?

I know VGA output cannot be adapted to HDMI without a converter box, but can it work the other way around? Obviously the picture wouldn't be 720p, but would I be able to display the ATV2 output with a HDMI to VGA adapter? And would the audio work? The projector can display 16:9 (4:3 native) if that matters. Thanks.

VGA doesn't carry sound, so you would need separate sound connection........... I assume you use one now since there is no mention of HDMI. The picture will transmit via VGA.

  • Since iOS7 update my iPad slows when connected to projector via VGA cable

    I use my iPad in class as a teaching resource every day. It's invaluable. However, since I updated it to iOS7, whenever I use my lightning-to-VGA adapter cable to connect my iPad to my projector it a) slows down the iPad to a crawl, and b) shows a black screen on the projector. I must stress, it's an original Apple cable that I paid a lot of money for, so I'm not particularly happy about this development.
    Can anyone suggest what the problem might be and if there's anything I can do to rectify it?
    Thanks in advance!

    I am not using keynote. I am just using the VGA to mirror the iPad... or at least, that it what I have done until now. Maybe the odd SlideShark presentation, or a YouTube video, or maybe to display text on a PDF in Dropbox or iBooks on the WB so all the students can read it together or maybe complete a quiz online using Chrome, Safari or Puffin browsers. Now it doesn't even mirror, and the iPad just slows completely. When I unplug the lightning-to-VGA cable it speeds back up again.
    All apps are up to date as far as I am aware. I will be testing it again tomorrow - since the latest update to iOS 7.0.3, as the projector's in my class and I'm currently at home, and will post if there's any difference. I'll also see if a reboot helped, as my iPad's been rebooted over the weekend after the update.

  • Why my Ipad2 will not play rented video to a projector via vga adapter connection

    Hi, i want to know why my ipad will not play rented video to a projector using the apple vga adapter connector.  This is just basic mirroring and there should be no problem isn't it?  Please help.
    Thank you

    Technically, yes, it should be easy. However with rented videos you may be running into DRM (DIgital rights management) where you may not be allowed to play that video anywhere but on the iPad. The video could have a bit of programming in it that literally tells the HDMI or VGA output not to work.
    One way to test the connection, with your ipad's camera, shoot a short video and try to mirror that. If it mirrors and the movie doesn't then it's likely that you're simply not allowed to mirror it. If it doesn't play then there may be something wrong hardware or setting wise.

  • Connecting projectors via VGA to MBA 2012 not working consistently?

    I am a trainer working around uk and Europe. I keep finding displays that will not work with my MBA. What happened to plug and play?....

    I have used macs for 10 years
    Okay, so have I, and I keep having surprises and keep learning. So what are you trying to say?
    Just will not show up on projected screen despite me changing settings,detecting display,restarting etc
    I sometimes find defect cables and connectors on site, I'm sure you spot those as well. Who to blame. Other than that, I've always got some signal onto the screen, even if not pretty colors, ideal contrast and brightness, or perfectly scaled. Or simply at a lower resolution and/or refresh rate than what I've been wishing for.
    With OS X's UI regarding external displays basically not having changed since 10.4, we sure have no trouble with handling our machines, and while our Windows friends are still trying to remember where all to press and click, I'm up and running or having a coffee.
    Interfaces have changed, but the number of adapters has grown accordingly, and projectors and displays have gotten more "receptive" as well. So, not much in the way here, either.
    The gear that is a royal pain in-you-know-where to work with now, has been the same before... all the time...
    What else - any more specific description, e.g. a typical showcase you could tell us of? Thanks.

  • Connecting Portege Z10t to projector using VGA

    Hi there.
    I'm having an issue connecting the Portege Z10t to a projector via VGA.
    Its fine via HDMI.
    The resolution changes on the screen to something like a 4:3 ratio.
    It then comes up on the projector, stays for 10 seconds or so then bombs out.
    I've tried multiple resolutions but no joy. We're running windows 8.1
    I've tried a few different z10t and different projectors. Other laptops running windows 8.1 are fine, it only seems to be with the z10t.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance

    First of all it would be interesting to know what resolution youve chosen for internal and external display.
    The Portege Z10T series was equipped with different displays but as far as I know the max supported resolution for all displays should be: 1920 x 1080 px
    If you use the extended desktop, both displays (internal + projector) could use different resolution but if you use the option clone displays then the resolution has to be the same on internal as well as on external display (projector).

  • IPad2 Mirroring via VGA Connector?

    I"ve got a coworker who is trying to mirror his new iPad2 display to an LCD projector using Apple's VGA connector accessory. We've been unable to get the projector to see anything from the iPad2, and I'm wondering if mirroring is only supported when using Apple's Digital connector and connecting to a projector using an HDMI cable?
    His projector doesn't have an HDMI input, so VGA is the only means of connecting the iPad2 to the projector.
    Should he be able to mirror via VGA? (And by mirroring, we're referring to any app, not just those that support external displays like Keynote).

    I just tried it on my iPad2, and it worked. I then went back to my coworker's iPad2, and it worked on it, too.
    I can only guess the VGA connector was loose at the iPad's dock connector on his iPad2 when he tried it.

  • No signal apple tv3 to projector via hdmi to Dvi-d

    I have a 3rd gen Apple TV. Works great on my 1080p tv, with optical out to my surround amp. When I connect to my Panasonic pt-ae500 720p projector via hdmi to dvi-d I get no signal at all. The projector is HDCP compliant and I can connect my ps3 to it at 720p no problem.
    I have tried changing the edid settings on the projector, and changing resolutions on atv.
    Any suggestions? I really need to set up my home cinema incorporating ATV
    Thanks
    Steve

    It's an inherent problem between the ATV 2 & 3 and certain older models of TV / Projectors. Something to do with negotiating the signal between the two devices, the ATV falls over.
    I also have this issue. I dug out my old PT-AE500 only to find that my ATV 2 was getting stuck on the Apple logo. No solution yet though, unfortunately.
    There is another (old) thread on it here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2631562?start=0&tstart=0
    There are a couple of ideas there, one of which was to switch the ATV on *before* plugging in the HDMI cable, let it boot up (give it 2 mins or so) then plug in the cable. This solved it for one person on that thread, but I can't get it to work here! I'll give it another try.
    It's only the Apple Tv that has this issue as well. My MBP, Mac mini, etc, work perfectly. Just inconvenient having to lug them to the projector each time we want to watch a movie
    Sorry I can't be of much help, but maybe have a read through that thread to see if any of the tips there work for you.
    I'll also report back if I manage to find something that DOES work!

  • Connection Help via VGA without apple's VGA adapter

    Hi, I just bought a brand new mini online today. I deglected to purchase a mini-dvi to vga adapter thinking i do not need it with my current setup.
    --Windows pc with a dual DVI out graphics card(1 dvi-vga adapter connected to a vga cable--->to the monitor)
    Can i simply take that DVI-VGA adapter off my pc and throw it on apple's DVI.. plug my monitor cable into that and get video? OR... do i need to run to microcenter when i get my mac just for a 30$ adapter to VGA?
    I planned on getting a TV within the next month or two using a DVI-HDMI cable anyway.. so i was trying to make due with what i already had.
    Thanks in advance,
    -Joe

    I understand that the mini comes with a mini-DVI adapter, and that would be put to use connecting it to a DVI-VGA adapter that comes with most graphics cards now-a-days. which then would essentially a VGA out port for the mac mini.... in turn being able to connect it to my monitor via VGA cable... correct?
    Here is an example of what im talking about: http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2005/11/23/pcinterfaces_101/vgadvi1.jpg
    If i connect that to the included mini-DVI to DVI adapter that comes with the mini TO that adapter in the picture TO a basic VGA cable.. technically it should work?
    A bit hillbilly rigged but its better than wasting 30$ on a brand new cable i'd never use again after like two weeks.
    I've got a day or two before the mac actually comes so I'm just trying to head off any problems ahead of time.

  • New monitor not recieving signal via DVI, ok via VGA

    Hello,
    I have one of the original minis (1.25 GHz, 512 MB, etc) purchased back in early 2005. Until now I've been using an old CRT display connected via VGA. This past weekend I purchased a new 20" AOC LCD monitor from Costco. I attached it with the supplied VGA cable and it worked great. The next day I picked up a DVI cable, attached it and after a minute or two the monitor found the signal and displayed a beautiful image. After five minutes the monitor lost the signal and I haven't been able to get it back since. I exchanged the DVI cable for a new one, but still can't get a pic displayed. The monitor itself is self switching. It knows if the connection is via VGA or DVI.
    What am I doing wrong? Could it be the mini? The monitor?
    Please help.
    Thanks
    Dave

    Yes, it is a display specific issue. If you look at this Apple spec page for the original mini and do a search on the word "coherent" it will take you to the part of the spec that deals with the issue.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP65
    Apple displays are not a problem because they have always used coherent receivers. But any other monitor is a roll of the dice, especially with the original mini. The newer mini with GMA950 graphics appears to be much less affected by this even though Apple left the wording in this part of the spec unchanged between the original G4 mini and the current Intel ones.

  • T61p and 1920x1080 via VGA?

    I have Thinkpad T61p (6457-CT0) with NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M and internal LCD with 1680x1050 running on XP SP3, and now I bought Samsung SM2333HD 23” external LCD monitor with 1920x1080 (HDTV) resolution and I want to use dual view (int. 1680x1050 + ext.  1920x1080). The problem is when I connect ext. monitor via VGA with 1920x1080 - picture on ext. monitor is cropped from left, smaller and positioned beyond borders of visible area. Picture adjustments aren’t helping at all. When I lower resolution to 1680x1050 it is ok, but the image is blurry because it’s not native resolution of ext. monitor, so I don’t want to use it. When I try only ext. monitor with 1920x1080 with disabled internal LCD, there is still the same problem, and on 1680x1050 picture is ok, but blurry. Resolutions higher than 1920x1080 are not possible in Display Properties/Settings/Screen Resolution settings or in NVIDIA Control Panel.
    I have borrowed Thinkpad Advanced Mini Dock with VGA and DVI output, and when I use DVI to connect ext. monitor, everything works fine and picture is ok, but via VGA on docking there is the same problem.
    I have latest drivers for NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M from Lenovo 6.14.11.7715 (2009-01-08), and latest IBM Presentation Director 4.03 (2009-02-12), but I have also tried with older drivers and Presentation Director, but it’s all the same, only picture is differently cropped, smaller or wider. Also, strange thing is when I, , try to make a new Display Scheme in IBM Presentation Director on internal LCD + ext. monitor via VGA, it offers max. resolution of 1680x1050, which is not the case with DVI.
    Just to be sure, I connected T61p via VGA to LG 32” full HD LCD TV, the picture has identical problems, so it’s not up to monitor. I have also tried to connect HP 6710b laptop via VGA to same Samsung SM233HD monitor and there are no problems, it can produce 1920x1080 with clear picture. I have also connected T61p via VGA to Lenovo L220x monitor, and now Display Properties/Settings/Screen Resolution settings (other than 1680x1050) offer 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 resolutions. When I set 1920x1080 the problem is identical, but when I select 1920x1200, picture is ok.
    So my conclusion is that T61p is not capable of producing 1920x1080 via VGA correctly, although it can produce 1680x1050 and 1920x1200. The main difference is that 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 are 16:10, but 1920x1080 is 16:9, so I am guessing that VGA output on T61p has problems with 16:9? Or is there problem with sending analog signal via VGA when it exceeds internal LCD native resolution (1680x1050) only for some resolutions? I have tried searching Internet and forums, but there are no answers. Maybe it is the problem when internal LCD is 16:10 and external monitor via VGA is 16:9 and I use dual view? I think there should be no problems with Quadro FX 570M and I don’t want to buy Thinkpad Advanced Mini Dock just because 1920x1080 only works with my monitor via DVI which is present on casing of T61p (and because it’s firm’s laptop, not mine). Do you have any suggestions what is wrong with graphics adapter, drivers or VGA output or how can I solve it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Through NVIDIA Control Panel, which you should have if you installed drivers.. You can get it via Display Properties -> Settings tab -> Advanced button -> Quadro FX 570M tab -> Start the NVIDIA Control Panel.
    In NVIDIA Control Panel on the left side in the tree select Display, Manage custom resolutions, select external display on the right and click Create...
    In the Custom Resolutions window click on Advanced >> and (in Back-end parameters section) in Timing Standard select Manual. You'll be able to enter (in Advance Refresh Rate Parameters) under Desired refresh rate value from 59.500 to 60.499. I have tried 59.500 and it worked... You can also try to change other settings, if you understand the meaning. There is a Test button in the upper right corner.
    Hope it helps...

  • X3100 and 1080p via VGA

    How can it be that the DELL Latitude D630 I got from work can output glorious 1080p on my Samsung FullHD LCD-TV via VGA, whereas my new Macbook 2.4 cannot? They both have the same video adapter (Intel GMA X3100)... Apple: can we still say "It just works" ?!?!

    In other posts people often talk about installing softwares like SwitchresX. I do not like that... Why should I buy an additional software to make something as basic as connecting a laptop to an external monitor?
    I have even read of people that have installed Vista on their Macbook and then got 1080p right away, while still not being able to get it in Mac OS with exactly the same equipment... I am a bit annoyed by this situation
    Any help will be much appreciated!
