Composite Video Output

How do you play itouch in a docking station calling for composite video?

Here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454
Apple says only 1G,2G and 3G iPods are compatible with Composite and Component.
I recall the before iOS 6, the 4G was compatible with Composite and Component.

  • How to get iPhone 3GS Composite Video output to work

    I have a iPhone 3GS with the latest 3.x FW (Updated 2/6/2010). I bought a Apple Composite video cable which lists iPhone 3GS as a supported product: MB129LL/B (one with 30 pin dock connector, composite, audio L&R, USB, power adapter).
    When I connect the cable to the iPhone, audio output from music works (but is a little quiet compared to other inputs to my stereo).
    However, I cannot get the video output to show any video. When the iPhone is connected my TV goes from a Blue Screen to Black, so it seems that something is being output.
    I have tried both Apple and 3rd party cables with no luck. I had the same results with the previous 3.0 FW. Phone is new as of 11/2009.
    I have tried photo slide shows while connected and I also purchased a product to make a iPhone compatible video.
    In all cases, the TV screen remains black, but the iPhone screen shows the video fine.

    Have you tried connecting other composite video sources to your TV, to be sure the problem isn't in your TV set?

  • How to get Composite video output with Lightning devices?

    I am replacing my last 30-pin device this week, and now all of our devices are Lightning cords.  I have the Apple Composite AV cables in my vehicles, but Apple does not offer a Lightning version of them.  From what I read on the 30-pin to Lightning adapters, they do power and audio only at best, and so don't support video.  So, does anyone either know of a lightning AV adapter (with composite out), or a 30-to-8 pin adapter that will work with the above cables?
    Thanks.

    I should add, I saw this (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD824ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter-02-m?fno de=3c) but reviews said they had issues with video.  Does anyone know if that works with video?

  • Tecra 8000 composite video out

    I am trying to direct video output from my tecra 8000 via the yellow video composite jack at the back of the unit. I thought it was as simple as pluging in both sides of an RCA jack (one end to the video input of a VCR and the other end into the Tecra video jack).
    I get NOTHING on the screen. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance

    I had already tried that with no results. There is also a 7 pin canon connector on the side of the laptop. This was provided with units that came with a DVD-ROM. Normally there would be a modem port there. I believe this round connector is for "S-Video" output. I was going to buy a cable for this, but like the composite video output, I'm afraid there is no video signal going to either port. The manual just talks about the port on the back of the unit and it doesn't say anything other than placing an RCA cable between it and a TV or VCR that has the same input port. It's really neither here nor there if I can get this to work, I'm just a little stumped is all.

  • EPG/ Overlay on Composite video out

    I know there was an issue originally with the DTR-T1000 youview box firmware where the EPG/overlay would not be visible on the the composite video (YELLOW) output if an HDMI cable was connected at the sametime, but I thought that had been fixed with the latest firmware.
    I'm fairly certain I confirmed that the issue had been fixed myself, however I am finding now that the issue is either back or still there, either way I cannot get the EPG to show on the composite video output if the HDMI cable is connected. If I disconnect the HDMI it works fine.
    Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It works fine but the HDMI tv must be turned off or on standby for the second modulated tv to view the menu. If the hdmi tv is on then you can change channels using IR senders on the second tv but can't see the menu. Hope this helps.

  • Ibook video output

    does the video adapter for current ibooks require that the tv you are connecting to has an s-video connection? if so, is there any other kind of cable/accessory available that will give you either an av or scart connection - like the video adapter for the older ibooks does?
    thanks

    That is incorrect. The iBook G4 specifications indicate
    VGA video output for video mirroring on an external display or projector (24-bit color) with included Apple VGA Display Adapter.
    S-video and composite video output to TV or projector (requires Apple Video Adapter, sold separately)
    You only need the Apple Video Adapter M9109G/A. Also see KB 88396, iBook video output cables/adapters and resolutions.

  • IPhone 4S USB Video Output

    Hello,
    I know there are video breakout cables that plug in the dock connector (30 pin) for both component and composite video output. With the 4S 1080p capability I know there is a dock adapter that allows for HDMI output via a separate cable.
    What I want to know is with all the new USB monitors (USB 2.0 and 3.0 powered and display monitors via a USB connection) about to hit the market is anyone aware of whether or not the standard USB to 30 pin docking cable can be plugged into such a monitor for mirroring or display?
    Thanx,
    Macport

    Brendan,
    Thanx for getting back to me on this. You've got to imagine it will just be a matter of time before someone makes this happens. For now though your response helps my decision making as to a choice of mobile monitor for presentations.

  • 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

  • ?? I thought there was a mac-mini, DVI to RCA /S-video adapter. If no, can I get 37.5mhz on display to composite video out?a composite video

    ?? I thought there was a mac-mini, DVI to RCA /S-video adapter. If not can display be set to 37,5 hertz then my crt can accept composite video. Thanks.

    12. Can I output via Mini DisplayPort to an RCA or S-Video connection?
    No. The Mini DIsplayPort connector allows output to Mini DisplayPort, DisplayPort, VGA, DVI, and HDMI connections when using the proper cables and adapters. However, output to RCA, Component, or S-Video connections is not supported.

  • Options for VGA to S video/ composite video over Mini displayport

    I have a mid 2009 13" macbook pro that i want to connect to a standard def tv with s video and composite inputs. I already own the mini displaport to VGA adapter. I have found two adapters on amazon that convert VGA to s/composite video. one is $4 and is just a cable. The other is a $40 box with vga input and video output. my question is, do i need to shell out for the expensive one or will the cheap cable do just fine? i have heard NTSC out a lot while poking around. does my computer have that?
    Adapter #1 (cheap one) http://tinyurl.com/yc6topv
    Adapter #2 (expensive one) http://tinyurl.com/yd6qnvs
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello, I am first time forums user and a new mac owner.
    What I am having trouble with is a very similar thing but I have a brand new macbook pro 17 so I am pretty sure my connector is slightly different. I found this...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9319G/A
    This seems to be a connector which comes out of the mini-dvi port and has a connector for rca/svideo. I have a mini-dvi to vga that I bought with the mac and then I have an old vga to rca/s-video connector cable like the cheap option the original poster gave.
    My mac responds as it should but the tv signal is totally screwed up. I also tried hooking it to a projector using rca and that said no signal. The mini-dvi port to vga works but I am not 100% on the vgs to rca connector I haven't used it in so long. It is going to be a pain for me to test it though.
    Should this work? DO I need to mess around with refresh rates?
    Thanks

  • What adapter needed to connect to S-video or composite video on TV

    My MacBook Pro has a mini-display port and I can't seem to find an adapter that will allow output to S-video and composite video. I have the adapter that worked with the Powerbook G4 12".
    Thanks

    S-Video is limited to 720 x 480. Unless you have a standard TV (not HD-TV), or older projector, S-Video is not ideal anymore. Plus you end up with an almost unusable external display unless all you are showing is video and stills and slides.
    A mini-DisplayPort is adaptable to VGA with this adapter:
    http://store.apple.com/us/searchresult?p=MB572Z/A
    which can be adapted to S-Video fairly easily with a cable such as this one:
    http://www.eforcity.com/pothvgasvrc1.html
    A mini-DisplayPort is adaptable to DVI:
    http://store.apple.com/us/searchresult?p=MB570Z/A
    which can be adapted to component here from:
    Buy.com (I never shop here, but that's the specs).
    However, the audio will not come out of DisplayPort. For that you need a separate audio cable such as this one:
    from StarTech if you have a compatible Toslink speaker system.
    Otherwise, you can use a standard RCA minijack cable to hook up to your stereo speaker system.
    Note the only store links I shop from are Apple from above. I just found these cables on Google, and have no idea how good any of the other stores are.

  • S-Video/Composite Video via VGA with 3rd Party Adapter

    As mentioned elsewhere in these discussions, the Mini-DisplayPort on the Aluminum MacBook is different from the eartlier models. The Mini-DP adapters from Apple don't support S-Video or Composite Video, even in combination.
    I ordered and just received my Grandtec PC to Video EZ adapter. It is a bit klugey, requiring a USB connect for power but it supports Apple Mini-DP to VGA output and generates both S-Video and Composite (yellow plug) video.
    The good news is that it WORKS. A bit pricey - Apple VGA adapter was $29 and the PC to Video from Dobbs Electric was $39.99 + shipping. But, the alternative was unacceptable. It may not be HD but at least I can do my job in a variety of sites where most of the video devices are older.

    Dear Popster41,
    I found myself in the same situation you were when you posted this. Could you tell me where you found the converter you mentioned?
    I appreciate your help,

  • Lost S-Video Output

    I have been using a G4 Powerbook 17-inch, 1.33 Ghz connected to an NEC VT470 LCD Projector through the S-Video output (Mirroring). It had been working just fine until recently - the s-video output stopped working. The odd part of this is that if I connect through composite video and the s-video to composite adaptor,It works. I have confirmed that the s-video input of the projector works, and i've tried the same thing on a 52" DLP rear-projection TV with the same results - composite video through the composite adaptor but no s-video straight through the s-video output. This makes me wonder if there's just a setting that's been changed or turned off. Another note: the Powerbook will not "detect" the projector when connected through s-video, but it does when using composite through the adaptor. Any ideas?

    That does sound like a faulty video card - I just read another post regarding faulty video card - in that case replaced under warraty by Apple.

  • S-video output not working for Satellite A60

    The s-video output on my laptop is not working. i have tried the Fn-F5 hotkey, but i don't get a damn output on the tv.

    Hi
    First:
    Has it ever worked before?
    Yes? then make sure that you don't have a second desktop activated. Go into the displaysettings and rightclick the second screen. Make sure it is not set to "attached".
    If your machine also have a composite out, try using that instead.
    Does it work?
    If yes, your machine is at least software-wise able to output the picture to the TV.
    If no, then there is probably something in the software that stops the picture from going out to TV.
    It could of course also be a hardware related problem but it is less prabable that both the s-video and the composite-ports are defective.
    Try checking the settings for your videodriver.
    No?
    If an s-video cable was delivered with your computer, make sure to use that one.
    Check the s-video cable with a traditional DVD. This way see if the cable and in-port on your TV is ok.
    If you are using the cable that came with your PC then you should defenitely check for settings in the videodriver.
    If it is not the cable that came with your PC (or no cable was delivered with your PC) try check the manual for hints on a compatible cable.
    Sorry for the quite messy respons - it is not easy to write a think-flowchart here.
    Good luck

  • HD video output on TiBook?

    Is there any way to get my TiBook 400 MHz (15 inch) to output at HD resolutions? I just bought a new 1080p HDTV, and I can output using S-video to the TV', but then the resolution on the big screen TV looks crappy.
    My TiBook also has a VGA port, and I've output to projectors to give presentations many times. . . but there is not VGA input on my HDTV. . . only composite video (ie: non-HD), S-video (same), component (HD), or HDMI.
    Is there such a thing as a VGA to HDMI (or component) adapter? And, if I were to use it, would my I be able to get High-def resolutions on my HDTV from my TiBook?
    Thanks.

    Hi, dgalvan. No, your old Powerbook doesn't have any digital video output capability, and its 8MB of VRAM can't support 24-bit color at any resolution higher than 1280 x 960 on an external monitor or TV, regardless of how it's connected.
    EDIT: However, you do have one of the only PB G4 models whose video can be upgraded with a CardBus add-on. For somewhat more than your Powerbook is worth, you can add a DVI port to it and increase its maximum output resolution to the HD level. I can't help you with any of the details or side issues (notably how to get audio to the TV) because I don't know diddly about HDTV.
