Can I connect my ps4 to my Thunderbolt Monitor?

Hi all, I was just wondering if there was any way to connect my ps4 to my thunderbolt monitor. I'm getting both of these for christmas, so I want to make sure I'm getting the right stuff. I'm also receiving an Elgato Capture Card, but I think that's irrelevant.
I've done quite a bit of research, and I think it's possible if you use an HDMI to thunderbolt connector, which you can buy on amazon for like 10 bucks.
Overall I just want to know if this could work, using my ps4's hdmi to plug into my Elgato, using another HDMI from the output of the elgato to the adapter and then using that thunderbolt cable to plug into the monitor. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!

A Thunderbolt requires a computer with a Thunderbolt port.  It will not work with anything else.  There are no adapters or converters that will help.
The Amazon adapter is for connecting  a computer with a Thunderbolt port to a display with HDMI.  It will not work the other way round.

  • Can I connect to two 24" Sony Trinitron monitors?

    I have two older--obviously--24" Sony Trinitron monitors (GDM-FW900). Can I use both of these in extended desktop mode with the new mini, and if so, at what resolution? And which cables?
    I need two monitors, and hate as much as anything to have a pair that is not matched in size/specs. Since I can't afford to spring for two new monitors now, I'm hoping the Sonys can be used.

    I assume the connections are VGA? Here are the two adapters you'll need to buy.

    I haven't used dual vga, but I have used dual-DVI to run my 2 24" monitors. It was the same experience I get when I use my Mac Pro on the two monitors. Extended desktop and full resolution. I did have an issue with the mini-displayport to vga adapter...it flashes to black occasionally. I personally haven't trouble shot it any more...but I think if you search the discussions there is more talk about that issue.
    So yes it'll run a regular 2-monitor set up for you...for me adjusting the resolution of the monitors to what I wanted was the biggest issue I ran into and that was easy.

  • Can i connect my ps4 to my mac os x

    Please can anyone help I have bought my son a PS4 console and want to connect it to my imac can you please give me instructions on the best way to do it?

    You are going to connect it to the internet.. in that connection you are making it part of the network and so you can reach your iMac.. sorry but normally local computers are irrelevant.. why do you need the connection to your computer?
    Explain your internet setup if it is more complex than usual.. ie are you using a 3G dongle to get internet??

  • How can I connect 4 iMacs to 1 thunderbolt storage device

    I work in a small photography studio. There are 4 of us with (thunderbolt compatible) imacs and we are tryinng to find a solution that we can access photos and videos for editing that are on one thunderbolt storage device that is connected to each of our imacs. I have only been able to find it possible to connect 2 imac but not more?

    I'm pretty sure Thunderbolt-attached drives work the same way as any other kind of external direct-connect drive, which is that they can only have one attached host (ie, one computer that sees it).
    Your best bet may be to keep the drive attached to a single Mac and share it out through regular Apple file sharing. By default, an admin login on that computer is able to see all external drives, but you can use the File Sharing system preference tab to control who can read and write to which shared folder.

  • Can I connect multiple devices to one thunderbolt port?

    I have the need to connect an external monitor and a firewire cable to my Macbook Air, but with only one Thunderbolt port I am trying to determine if this is possible.  Is there such an adapter that would take my single Thunderbolt port and 'split' it into two?

    Also, if you use the Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display, it will have an additional Thunderbolt and Firewire ports on its back.

  • Mac Pro with X1900 - can I connect both 20" LCD and Sony Monitor?

    I'm about to purchase a Mac Pro with the x1900 for editing video with Final Cut Pro Studio. I'll use a 20" monitor for main viewing, but would like to use a Sony PVM-14L2 as a playback monitor via Component video. Can I use one of the DVI outs of the x1900 to go to the Sony? I found this type of converter online: http://www.svideo.com/hdtvaiwr8500.html
    Is anyone using a set-up like this? I figure it must be pretty common for folks who edit video on a Mac Pro to output to a playback monitor via Component video. Will the x1900 let me do that with the right cable?
    Thanks,
    joel

    Hmm. I have that computer, card and dongle - I'll try it out tonight (PST) and let you know.
    My gut feeling is that it won't work, or won't work as you would hope.
    My powerbook had SVideo out on it, but even when connected to a TV, it would not work as a video out in the same way a fire wire preview through a camcorder did - it was a second monitor on a TV, and was not the same at all as a video out feed (it looked rather horrible in fact).
    So, even if this does produce a component out signal, suitable for HDTV, I doubt it will work as a playback monitor.
    But I'll post back in about 8 hours time (if someone does not beat me to it.)

  • Can I connect a PC to an iMac monitor?

    Well the title says it ...
    I would want to switch back and forth kind of like a KVM...

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The short answer is no.
    The longer answer is that if you have a 27" iMac and your PC has video output in the digital DisplayPort format, then you can use the iMac's display for the PC with the iMac in Target Display Mode.
