Connect MB32LL to TV with DVI/HDCP in

I'm trying to find a solution to this problem. I have an LCD TV with a DVI/HDCP in. Never heard of it before, and neither can I find a cable for it. Can anyone provide me a link for a DVI/HDCP cable?
Thanks

The "HDCP" part just means the port is capable of receiving video that's been copy protected. The port should accept a standard DVI cable, that's the physical configuration of the port. I think you just need the Apple mini-DVI to DVI adapter and a DVI cable.

  • Connecting a regular Monitor with DVI

    I'm wondering if I can connect a pc-monitor to the apple TV using a HDMI-DVI cable?
    Instead of using a TV I want to use a pc-monitor with DVI input.
    Is this possible or do I have to connect really a TV?

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    There would be a couple of issues to overcome. One is already mentioned by JG, HDCP is often not supported by DVI, you would need to check. Then there's a resolution issue the GPU of the tv may not support the native resolution of a large monitor, also your picture may or may not fill the screen and WS tv is 16:9, WS monitors are typically 16:10. Finally DVI doesn't carry audio so you would need to take care of audio in another way.
    It's not impossible, there are those that use them with the tv, but you would need to check your particular monitor would work.

  • Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display portS?

    Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display port? Or is there another way?

    The problem with itunes is needing a computer running it. or continuous internet connection.
    A Time Capsule is AC mains powered.. no battery. Although you can certainly buy an older Gen4 TC and modify it ...
    https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/time-capsule-power-supply-repair-kits
    I have run my TC on a 12V SLA battery.. which would neatly meet that part of the functionality you want. But it is heavy and not really the rugged sort of device I think you want.
    But I would look at other media players and other ways of storing movies than iTunes.. if you want to carry the whole lot around with you .. A bunch of SD cards even you could plug into the ipad??
    External storage for iPad?
    A small cheap PC/Mac laptop with a 1TB hard disk  in it.. and 11" or 13" screen.. can often be a much better solution than lugging around multiple items so you can fit Apple devices into your life.

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

    My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

    The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be for FREE!

  • How to connect my Mac Air 13" to my Philips display with DVI and VGA ports?

    How to connect my Mac Air 13" to my Philips display with DVI and VGA ports?

    Use a DVI to micro-DVI adapter if you're on an original MacBook Air, and a Mini DisplayPort adapter for a newer one.

  • Satellite A205: Dynadock - How to connect to LCD TV with HDMI to DVI cable

    I recently purchased this product and had a problem when connecting it to my LCD TV.
    I used a HDMI to DVI cable to connect it to the TV. Only a small portion of the full display shows on the TV.
    I have adjusted all setting on the laptop (Satellite A205) but it only adjusts the laptop screen, not the TV.
    I also used the adaptor to VGA, plugged it into the computer input on TV, same effect. I can use VGA output on side of laptop to TV ok.
    Any ideas on how to adjust dynadock output settings?

    First of all it would be interesting to know what dynadock you have exactly; one with DVI port or one with VGA port?
    >I have adjusted all setting on the laptop (Satellite A205) but it only adjusts the laptop screen, not the TV.
    You should know that the dynadock has a own built-in graphics controller and video drivers to control the video stream.
    Therefore you should change the settings directly in the dynadock settings and not on the laptop!!!

  • What's a DVI-to-VGA connection have to do with sleep?

    I've been experimenting with hooking my HDTV to my Mac Pro's 5870 video card. Currently I have my 27" ACD connected to one of the mini displayports (mDP) and a VGA, connected through an Apple VGA-to-mDP (active) adapter to the other mDP. When I want to use the TV I can connect the HDTV to the 5870's DVI connection with a (passive) HDMI-to-DVI adapter. It works. Indeed it works too well! Whether the TV is taking input from the computer or not the computer thinks the TV is a third monitor which can get very confusing when the mouse is accidentally moved off my ACD on to the TV (6 feet away) and I can't find the cursor. Another minor nit is that using the DVI means no audio can be passed on the HDMI so the computer speakers are used unless of course I hook up a separate audio connection.
    I could get around the 3-monitor problem using SwitchResX but I prefer not to. I'm willing to simply manually connect and disconnect the HDMI cable on those few times I want stream stuff to the TV. But as an alternative I tried switching the TV and VGA connections, i.e., connect the TV to the mDP through a (passive) mDP-to-HDMI adapter and the VGA through a (passive) VGA-to-DVI adapter.
    This second scheme also works. However because all the adapters are now passive the VGA will disconnect when the HDMI is plugged in. Ok. I can live with that and I understand the behavior due to the 3-monitor limitations of the 5xxx cards (i.e., active adapters required).
    All the above was just background and context leading to the question I entitled this post with. Forget the HDMI connection. I have the ACD connected to its mDP and the VGA through the passive VGA-to-DVI adapter (i.e., the second scheme I described above). With this configuration my machine will not sleep on its own (i.e., at the time the energy saver specifies). I can "manually" put it to sleep ("Sleep" from the Apple menu). It just won't do it on its own (and none of the checkboxes in energy saver are checked -- wake for network for example -- and no active processes are running that would explain this behavior either).
    Experimentation has shown that it is somehow related to using the VGA through the DVI. If I put my original configuration back (VGA-to-mDP) the machine will sleep on its own at the designated energy saver preference time.
    What I don't understand is what's a DVI connection have to do with the energy saver sleep setting? The only remote possibility I can think of is perhaps the screen saver is running on both the VGA and ACD and an active VGA is sufficient to make the machine think there's activity when connected through the DVI (but not when connected through the mDP).
    Of course none of this is really a serious problem. I'm only asking for academic interest.

    I know I can do that but that's not the subject of this thread! I'm only asking why would a VGA connection to DVI keeps the computer from sleeping on its own.
    And, oh, by the way, another audio alternative is something like this,

    although this requires stringing a separate audio cable.

  • Problems connecting an NEC AccuSync ASLCD223WXM with DVI

    Hi all,
    I have a PowerMac Dual G5 and just got a new monitor - an NEC AccuSync ASLCD223WXM. The monitor works fine over a VGA connection, but I wanted to try DVI so I got a Dell cable from a friend who wasn't using his. When I connect the NEC monitor to the Mac with the DVI cable, the monitor seems to switch between DVI and VGA inputs, looking for a source. The Mac desktop is visible for about a second, and then the monitor blacks out and appears to be trying to look at the VGA input (or it could just be going black). Then it switches back to the DVI input, displaying the desktop for about a second. The process repeats indefinitely.
    The resolution is set at 1650x1050 at 60 Hz.
    Anyone have any ideas? I'm wondering if I have a bad cable, or the wrong cable. There's DVI-D (which I think I have), DVI-M, DVI-A, etc... There's also single link and dual link. Not sure which I have. I've seen some info which says that the Radeon 9600 XT which is in my machine wants a DVD-D dual link cable, and the NEC monitor wants a DVI-D single link cable, but I don't trust the sources completely (and I don't know if that would cause this type of problem).
    Thanks for any help,
    Russ

    Some more info in case it helps -
    The Radeon 9600 XT in my Power Mac G5 appears to have a DVI-I port on the back. It has four extra pins around the flat contact. The NEC monitor appears to have a DVI-D port. It does not have pin inputs for the four extra pins around the flat contact. According to this (questionably creditable) webpage - http://www.pccables.com/cables/DVI_cables.html - a DVI-D to DVI-D cable is the right one to use in this situation.
    Also, when I lowered the resolution down to 1280x800, the flashing went away. Raising the resolution caused it to come back. I found this webpage on Apple's site - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301752 - which says this:
    "The maximum resolution available when this display is connected to a single-link DVI port is 1280 x 800 - you must connect the display to a dual-link DVI port in order to access the higher resolutions available to the display."
    Does this help diagnose the problem? Do I need a dual-link DVI-D cable? I called NEC and they said use a single-link DVI-D cable, but the person on the other end of the phone didn't sound technical so I'm inclined not to believe them.

  • Can I playback a movie that i purchased in iTunes on my MBP connected to a projector with a DVI cable?

    I am trying to playback a movie that i purchased in iTunes with my Macbook Pro while it is connected to a projector with a DVI cable. It starts but after a few seconds it will stop the playback. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

    I don't know your configuration or the source of the issue.  As long as it is normal playback it should work.  I have run output from a MacBook Pro to a TV set with HDMI and as far as the computer is concerned it is simply playing back the medium and doesn't care how I have the output rigged.  The TV simply acts as an oversize monitor.

  • Using External monitor with DVI kills wireless connectivity

    I recently purchased a BenQ G2400WD 24" 1920x1200 monitor, for use with my May 2007 GMA 950 2.0Ghz. Macbook.
    Upon receiving the monitor, I immediately plugged it in to my Macbook, using the Mini-DV to VGA adaptor I already had, for use with projectors. The monitor was good, but a bit blurry and not too sharp, due to the analog signal. So I ordered a Mini-DVI to DVI adaptor. When it arrived, the improved picture quality was immediately apparent.
    However, as time went on, I noticed my wireless connectivity was getting terrible. Extremely slow Safari page load times, and upon going to Terminal and pinging my router, I would often get response times of 21000 milliseconds, or worse! I did a lot of research, on router firmware, on wireless connectivity, etc., but to no prevail. Then, on a whim, while continually pinging my router, I removed the DVI adaptor from my monitor. The ping instantly dropped from tens of full seconds to just a stable 0.4 milliseconds! Using my VGA connection resulted in no worse wireless connectivity than without it, but upon plugging in DVI and stressing the connection a bit (i.e. downloading a large file), the connection went bonkers. The pings also immediately jump from 0.4 milliseconds to a range of 1-4 milliseconds, regardless of any "stressing".
    I have done numerous research, including searching both here and on other discussion forums. It appears this problem with DVI connection is fairly common, but with no resolution so far. Any help would be great!
    A few important notes:
    -Both ends of both my VGA cable and my DVI cable are shielded.
    -I have tried numerous channel changes of my router, to no prevail.
    -While using DVI, EVERYTHING works well except the wireless. So the monitor isn't too demanding for my computer.
    And I hope my thorough post didn't scare you away!

    I have this same issue with the dvi and wireless disconnect. I am using a samsung 214T. I am glad to know i am not the only one seeing this, because it is kind of one of those things that is hard to believe. Anyway, I am also curious what kind of routers people have who are experiencing this issue. I am using a wrt54GL with tomato firmware.
    Also, In addition to the disconnect, my picture quality on my monitor gradually degrades over time...starting with what looks like snow flecks. After waking from screen saver, sometimes it is full static. Turning off and turning back on the monitor clears the static away.
    I can use another samsung 19in monitor with dvi without any problems.

  • How can I connect a laptop with DVI to an Apple LED Cinema Display 27"

    I have an old Mac Book Pro 2007 and a PC laptop, both with DVI.
    I simply can't find a DVI to mini display adapter.
    Can this be true?

    Be careful. Make sure your laptop's DVI output is a dual-link DVI output. Otherwise it won't work correctly with the 27" through any adapter.

  • PLEASE ADVISE BEST WAY TO HOOK UP AUDIO AND VIDEO TO OLDER TV WITH DVI INPUT

    GOT NEW APPLE TV NEED TO CONVERT HDMI OUTPUT TO HOOK UP TO MY HDTV READY PROJECTION TV WITH DVI INPUT CONNECTOR
    WOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD JUST  EMAIL APPLE AND OTHER SIMILAR  COMPANIES LIKE MICROSOFT  ETC. SIMPLE QUESTIONS LIKE THIS WITH OUT FILLING OUT FORMS ETC

    Officially DVI is not supported, but may work provided connections are HDCP compliant.
    You will need an HDMI to DVI converter and as DVI does not support audio, a method of playing audio such as using AppleTV optical out instead to something capable of decoding the optical audio.
    This is a user to user forum not an Apple led official support forum by the way.

  • Cannot Connect Imac 24" via mini dvi to HDMi adapter cable to Sony Bravia 3

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm having the worst time in trying to connect the following:
    1. Imac 24" 3.06 dual with dvi connection
    2. Mini dvi to HDMI adapter (this mac with this connection was produced only for a short while!).
    3. 10' (foor) HDMI wire
    3. Sony Bravia 32" model KDL32L-5000 with 3 HDML connections
    i.When I wire everything up, I keep getting"no signal" on my Sony Bravia TV.
    ii. It doesn't matter whether I connect the HDMI wire to HDMI 1,2, or 3 on my Sony
    iii. On my Imac Hard Drive>>Applications>>System Preferences>>Displays
    all I get is a list of different resolutions. There is no mention or mirrors etc.
    Nothing happens when I press "Gather Windows" or Detect Displays"
    Can someone out there please help!!!!!
    Can you also give any solution in very simple and small detailed steps!
    Thanks,

    Majortrout, there is a major disconnect going on here.
    1. You are showing an Ebay link with a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
    2. You report that you have an Early '09 24" iMac.
    3. That iMac does not have a mini-DVI port. That iMac has a mini-DispayPort.
    4. You need a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
    It is physically impossible to attach the adapter to which you link at Ebay to your iMac. So you need to take a step back and figure out what you really have; which iMac, which adapter, etc.

    True but read beyond the title to his question, says 2011 and a TB port.  I guess it's which one you want to believe...

  • Hey Guys, from Germany. I want to connect my iMac 21" with my Tv just for fun. Does anyone know, how it works. With a Hdmi adapter?

    Hey guys! I want to connect my Imac 21 " with my Tv just for fun. Does anyone know , how it works?

    Selecting the correct adapter and cable depends on which year model iMac you have and what inputs the TV has?
    Check the User's Guide that came with your iMac or your Spec's at > Apple - Support - Technical Specifications
    to see if your iMac has a Mini-DVI or Mini DisplayPort and then select that adapter with the correct connection for the TV.
    Example: if you have a 2010 or 2011 iMac and an HDMI ready TV, then you would want the > Moshi Mini DP to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support - Apple Store (U.S.)
