BT Vision+ video out to HDMI & Component/Scart

I am coming back to BT after about 2 years putting up with poor BB reliability with TalkTalk and the chance that BT might actually bring Infinity to a village less than 2 miles from a City Centre!
As BT does not allow multiple vision boxes to be used unless you have Infinity and are prepared to pay twice! (it fine and free on TT as long as you have a 2nd box) I am being forced to get a SlingShot/Belkin @TV box to send pictures to another device (Son wants Sky Sports (which he will pay for) in his room).
Can someone please confirm if the latest BT Vision+ box allows output by HDMI and Component (I believe it will have to be via Scart/SPDIF to Component!) at the same time, or will we be forced to get an HDMI splitter with HMDI and Component out?

Huh! That doesn't sound right at all. Are you sure the picture for the HDMI input you have the Vbox connected to isn't zoomed in any way either on the TV or the Vbox.
Assuming you're starting off with a 16:9 ratio which is good for both SCART and HDMI when you change the aspect ratio on the Vbox. It will perform the test and put 2 selections (Save setting and Don't Save (default)) across the middle of the screen asking to to confirm that you can see the test successfully. If you pick Save setting you should then be using the new aspect ratio. The text on the buttons for the test shouldn't be off the screen unless either the picture is zoomed or you're still using the SCART connection by mistake.

Video out settings HDMI and Component out run at the same time?

Does anyone know if I can get video out of both the HDMI port and component video connections at the same time. Trying to distribute video throught the house on component, and still get HD on the flat panel in the living room. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apple says when both HDMI and component are connected, HDMI will take precedence over component. Short answer: no.

IPad video out to HDMI mystery

I hope we can shed some light upon this.
I was wondering, what exactly Apple does with the video out feature while the iPad is connected to a 16:9 flatscreen TV via HDMI (digital AV adapter).
What I found out:
The nominal iPad 3 resolution is 2048 x 1536, which does not fit 1080p, so the iPad scales the home screen down to what? No information about it in the iPad specs and the manual
The home screen is appearantly scaled down to 1536 x 1024, while the output is 1920 x 1080 pixels - so the home screen has a black frame
When using Photos app to view photos, the iPad screen is shown 1:1 on TV - still black frame
When using iPhoto app to view/edit photos, the output to TV is different than on iPad display - photos on TV are displayed in full height (if 3:2) and full screen (if 16:9). Unfortunately, the photo on the TV does not zoom
When using Movies app to view 1080p footage, the TV shows 1080p full screen
When using Movies app to view 720p footage, the TV shows 1080p full screen (video is upscaled by iPad)
What I'm ooking for is an app to show photos in 1080p full screen with zoom. I've tried about 5-8 different who are all supposed to do that - but they all failed. There was even one app that acted as a DLNA server so the TV loaded the photo from the iPad and did the decoding/display, but a TV is not designed for this.

Try this:
*1. Go to: System Preferences and select Displays, then click on the Arrangement tab and look at the box for Mirror Displays, is it checked or unchecked?*
a. If you want the displays to show the same image (Mirroring) then check the box.
b. If you want to use the connected display for viewing different wIndows (Extended Desktop) then uncheck the box and go to step 2.
*2. Go to: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Savers and click on the Desktop tab.*

Frozen image with video out to HDMI

I have my iMac connected via an HDMI adaptor through a 10' HDMI cable into a Hi Def TV. It was working well but suddenly froze with an image that happened to be a photo from iPhoto. That image remains whenever the cable is connected into the TV. When the cable is disconnected, the image disappears.
Any suggestions to diagnose this problem will be appreciated.

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...
thanx

Is there a COMPONENT video OUT solution for the iBook?

I am currently using Apple's Video Adapter (mini-VGA to S-Video) to hook up to my widescreen. Let's face it, S-Video *****. I am trying to find a solution that would allow me to get component video out of my iBook and run that into my widescreen.
Is there a VGA->Component Video Adapter available that would work with the mini-VGA -> VGA adapter that ships with the iBook? (Or some other way to get a component video signal?)
Thanks!

Hi Mactivist,
i am not an expert on this video stuff but I think
you might find this useful. Although the
procedure described is about a Mac Mini (which has a
dvi connector) the guy actually used a DVI-VGA
adapter. Therefore, I believe, the set-up described
should work for you too.
-Petra
Unfortunately, iBooks do not have DVI out. What I really need is a VGA to Component video adapter.
And for the person who wasn't sure what a component video cable looks like, this is a cable that has 3 rca-like plugs on it, each one supplies a different color (RGB I think).
So far, I've not found a VGA adapter that can do this unless you are using an ATI video card as the source.

Zen Vision M Video Out to TV problem (with proprietary cable!)

I am the original owner of a 60 GB Zen Vision M that works perfectly. I have purchased the proprietary A/V cable for the unit when I purchased it but never had occasion to use it. I now have a flat panel display on which I should like to display video files. The information screen says it has version .2.02 (I assume that?s firmware.)
Customer support for the product is no longer available. I have set the video out to ?auto NTSC? I have wonderful sound but nothing shows on the screen from the yellow RCA video plug that comes out of the same white cable from Creative. UI have connected it to several different sets, two of which are older tube sets. No luck.
Any help here?
Thanks.

Anyone tried holding down power and pressing the reset at the same time. Then after hit clean up from the recovery menu. I was told to do that but i havent tried test it out on tv output yet.
Warning: it clears all the settings in your zen player. (Custom eq, menus, all zen settings)

VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.

K1 - HDMI video out issue

Hello,
First post to this forum.
I bought my K1 end of November. I purchased two micro-HDMI cables, and not seeing video out. Briefly saw the picture on screen once or twice, but nothing consistent. Have plugged my K1 into 4 or 5 different HDMI-enabled monitors/TVs, no luck. The cable doesn't seem to sit very securely in the hdmi port. These are definitely micro HDMI cables I purchased from two different sources (not mini-HDMI). They may only have been HDMI 1.3 version cables, but I think they should have worked.
Sent my K1 in for Lenovo service and came back this week. Everything with HDMI checked out according to Lenovo support. I actually just ordered two more "high speed" 3 ft cables from monoprice hoping this solves the issue (version 1.4). I should have the two new cables next week
Has anyone else had issues with HDMI video out? I would like to know from others if the HDMI worked well for them. Don't know what to expect.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My Micro HDMI to HDMI cable works fine with my K1. I have to watch that my micro HDMI plug is fully into the K1's socket, because my case sometimes is too close to the socket and the plug touches my case preventing the plug to fit all the way into the socket and making connection. Like the case. It's a MoKo from Amazon.com for $20.

My samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio

my samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio any suggestions?

Jeffrey-
If the HDMI input to the Samsung is not compatible, does it have a VGA or composite input? I have both the HDMI and VGA adapters for the iPad, which work with the small Vizio HDTV I tried. I understand a composite video adapter is also available.

IPod Touch 2nd Gen Video Out Problem with Apple Component Cable

I'm trying to get video out working with my iPod touch connected to my TV. Here's the information.
32 GB iPod Touch 2nd Gen
Apple Universal Dock (current version.)
Apple Component Out cable for iPod (current version that connects with a dock connector.
I've connected the component cables into the component video input on my TV. When I start playing any video (purchased off iTunes store in Standard Def,) I get a scrambled picture that appears to be the video, and no sound. I purchased the TV in South Korea and haven't gotten to test it yet on a TV back in the US. I have my video out settings with wide screen turned off and set to NTSC (South Korea uses NTSC.) I've also tried every setting combination, and switching the cable connections with the same or similar results. Sorry if a similar problem has been posted elsewhere, but after searching, I couldn't find any similar behavior. Any ideas on what might be the cause? I don't have any other component devices to check if the component on the TV is bad.

I've got that same problem: iPod Touch 2nd Gen, Apple Component Cables, and an HD TV.
The funny thing is, the cable works fine with an iPod Classic (160 GB) but not for the iPod Touch. Can anyone explain why that is?

Intel iMac Component Video Out

Has anyone tried a component video out connection to an HDTV from the Intel iMac? I've read from the ATI website that the new Radeon X1600 card supports component video out with an adapter.
There was never a really good way to do this with previous Mac models.

A little more news about component out from the Intel iMac 20"
The VGA adapter included with my 12" iBook does not fit the mini-dvi port on the iMac. So you need to buy a new adapter from Apple.
Also:
I tried using a VGA-to-component cable with the iBook VGA adapter and a standard television set. The cable is designed to interface a component-out DVD player to a VGA-in BenQ projector. I ran the cable to the component-in jacks on my Sanyo (analog-non HD) television. No go. Tried several resolutions and adapter refresh rates, and got some smeared video, but it made me nervous and I stopped experimenting. Haven't tried this cable with my HDTV for fear of damage.
Basically, the cable was meant to take a video signal from the DVD player to the projector. My experiment was mac to TV.
So sad, oh so sad ;<

Device that can split HDMI video out

I'm starting here before i might get sold something that won't work...
Am running a late-2012 i7 2.3 quad Mini in a studio. I (will) have two matching Acer 24" LED
monitors that need to display the same screen simultaneously- the 2nd monitor in an adjacent room.
I was going to use Thunderbolt/MiniDisplayPort>DVI for that monitor but the Mini is maxed out - every
port is being used for something and i need the TBolt for an audio device. Hence am considering
splitting the video out. Question - will a passive "Y" type splitter work and does it put any extra drain
on the Mini in a way that might 'tax' it too much -- or is there a powered device that would be better
suited for this task and if so, any suggestions of a model or two that are known to be reliable?
Also, would a passive splitter make the display on either of the monitors dimmer ? I seem to recall
somebody saying they had an issue where one or the other was less bright when using a splitter(?)
Thanks for any info you might have! Much appreciated!
Mike

Hi Gary, thanks for your reply. My question then would be, of the fairly inexpensive 'active' devices pointed out in the comparison review mentioned earlier - i.e. http://hdmi-switcher-review.toptenreviews.com/
I wonder why any of those wouldn't serve my purposes fine - that is, a switcher. Or alternately, perhaps there would be cheaper active VGA (vs DVI) splitters for something in the realm of less than $100 that would do the trick. For our needs,even if i needed to run VGA (which both monitors are capable of) it wouldn't be such a critical application that this would be a major factor - vs. the DVI.. I would just be going HDMI>VGA split box>two monitors
I just recalled using a passive VGA splitter cable a couple of years ago on an old Mini now that i think about it - the resolutions matched on the two identical monitors - and both did display without distortion in that case.
Even though i believe there was a bit of a dimming effect on both, it wasn't so extreme that they weren't acceptable. Still, i would buy an active powered splitter - just wonder if i wouldn't be fine to go with something in the under-100.00 set of options shown in the 'reviews' link and if not, what the problem could be. THanks!

My sony video camera has HDMI out - can I download direct into MBP using dhmi

Is it possible to download direct from video camera with HDMI out to Macbook Pro 15" HDMI in.

HDMI out is only suitable to connect to a display.
Current Macs do not have raw-Video inputs. Use USB or FireWire.

Mac Mini video out (dvi to HDMI) is always larger than my TV Sony KLV 32S10

Hello, I'm outputting the video DVI to HDMI to my Sony LCD. I get video, so thats good.
what is not good, is the extents of the video are just beyond the phsyical parts that I can actually see. what does that mean... It means the tool bars at the top of the display are never visible. It also means that the bar at the bottom , the icons are only about half visible, the top half.
what can I do to fix that? (seemingly not yet to replace the LCD).
I did not try a DVI to VGA adapter, or other adapters.
thanks for any advice!

huh, so simple...
I first tried that, but I was left with a very fuzzy / flickery display and thought, no can't be that...
Put the little mini to sleep and awoke to a nice fitting display.
thanks for so obvious a solution!
