Connecting composite RCA video to an HD15 monitor directly?

Hello,
I am trying to run a composite RCA video signal directly to my Sony SDM-HS75/B monitor that only accepts HD15 or DVI inputs. Is there a cable I can purchase that anyone on these forums has used? I have seen the following cable for sale on eBay but am unsure if it will work with my needs:
http://cgi.ebay.com/VGA-to-S-Video-RCA-Composite-Cable-Adapter-for-PC-TV_W0QQite mZ320185507645QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item320185507645
To be more specific about what I'm trying to do, I am trying to record video from my XBox 360. I am running the video and audio from the XBox 360 to my Elgato EyeTV 250 capture device, which is then connected to my G5 for recording. I am splitting the composite video signal with a 'Y' adapter so that the video runs to the EyeTV 250 and also splits to my monitor so that I can play the game or watch the video without the delay from the recording, while the G5 records the other split signal in the background. If my monitor had a composite RCA video input this would work just fine, but it only has an HD15 input, so I need to know if there is a cable that can take the composite RCA video with an HD15 end that will plug into my monitor?

No, that cable will not do the job. You need more than just a cable. You need a signal converter like the GVM-2000 ($90). You can probably find similar devices at your local Circuit City.

HDMI to Composite RCA video cable to display Mac on TV

Does an HDMI to Composite video cable like this:

allow me to display my macBook Pro retina (late 2013) on an old TV?

PeterJayNebrasca,
no — you’d need a digital-to-analog converter of some sort to convert the digital HDMI signal into an analog form which your old TV would find acceptable.

Trying to connect IPhone 4s to TV using AV TV RCA Video USB connector Does this require any special software?

Have been unable to get IPhone 4S to show up on AV TV
Using AV TV RCA Video USB connection. Have tried in
HD 720i, HD 1080i and 1080p TV's. Is there any special
software needed on the I Phone to do this? if so please
advise.

I don't think the dock can support the HDMI dongle. I know it will do Video Out via Composite cable.
The actual dock itself has not been updated for a few years, so this may explain your problem. The packaging was changed last year to include the new remote, dock adapters, and a wall charger. The dock itself is still identical to the 2009 model.

Compnent Video to Composite RCA

Hello,
Due to downsizing I need to use an old TV for my second Apple TV. Does anyone have an idea for a cheap way to go about this. It needs to be converted into a regular yellow RCA video cable. I have seen a few that are $100's of dollars. Is there another cheap way to do this? Can I go with a component video to S video adapter to an S video to composite video? This is a $15 fix but I am not sure if it will work.
Thank you for your help.

Component video can be analogue or digital.
AppleTV can output an analogue YPbPr signal, which is why you sometimes see people posting 'I've connected to my composite input and it's not full colour' - they've connected one of the red, green or blue RCA sockets in error to a composite RCA input, and only one of the luma, 'blue' or 'red' signals is input to the composite socket.
I don't think fiddling with the HDMI output settings affects component changing from YPbPr to digital YCbCr, but I've not tried in practice.
Either way decent analogue component to S-video/composite converters are expensive.
There was a convoluted method posted ages ago to trick AppleTv into outputting composite on one of the sockets - Google might help.

How to connect satellite set-top box to Qosmio G50 using RCA video-in cable

I want to connect my satellite set-top box to my Qosmio G50 laptop using the RCA video-in cable I received with the computer. (yellow, red, white RCAs and a Jack)
Could you help me where should I plug this cable as I have not found any instructions in the users manual. (The user's manual list this cable on page 21, so it can be used for something somehow for sure!)
(The set-top box does not have coaxial output, and I do not want to include another machine (eg. an old VCR) just to use coaxial connection.)
Thanks in advance for your help!
Sandor.

Connecting my t410s with an old composite/ s-video TV

Hi,
Just bought the t410s with switchable graphics and I was wondering if it was possible to connect it to my old composite/ s-video TV (through VGA or HDMI or other option...). I already spent a considerable amount on the computer, don't really feel like spending $100+ on a converter from VGA to S-Video. Any options?
Cheers!!!

The simple converter cable don't work.

I have HDMI connection to the receiver and on to the TV - but no audio from my new Apple TV. I have checked all connections and the video is xlnt. Have also toggled thru every possible Dolby/Audio combination in settings. Help! Any suggestions?

I have an HDMI connection to the receiver and on to the TV - but there is non audio from my Apple TV. Not for movies, music, YouTube etc.   I have checked all of the connections and the video is xlnt. Have also toggled thru all possible Dolby/Audio combinations in settings. Help! Any suggestions?

Hello again Parker -
The basic setup is Digital Cable Box, DVD Player, Denon Receiver/Amp and TV Monitor. To that I added the Apple TV. The Receiver only has two HDMI IN slots (one for cable and one for the DVD) and one out to the Monitor.
[I bought a switcher to toggle the DVD and the AppleTV back and forth but just disconnected the DVD to simplify when I ran in to trouble.]
So now I have:
     HDMI from the Cable Box to the Receiver
     HDMI from the Apple TV to the Receiver (in the old DVD slot which always worked well)
     HDMI from the Receiver to the Monitor
     RCA's from the Receiver to the Subwoofer and the other speakers
In addition I have some backup connections:
     S-Video, Optical Audio and L/R RCA's from the Cable Box to the Receiver
     S-Video from the Receiver to the Monitor
Wait - JUST FOUND IT!
By going thru the excercise to track all of the connections per your suggestion, I found an anomaly when I switched Receiver sockets for the HDMI links. The video moved but the audio didn't. Turns out the monitor was using the optical audio feed from the receiver. So I disconnected the optical audio and the monitor automatically switched to the HDMI audio feed!   Looked promising...
So I first connected an optical audio feed from the ATV to the receiver - Audio! Then I pulled it, but the audio didn't switch to the HDMI feed. It stopped. Would be OK if all I was going to use is the ATV, but I need the DVD player too and I can't use a switcher to toggle between them if I have to unplug the optical audio each time.
This is becoming a career! Any suggestions?

Video Output to NTSC monitor

I recently got new furniture, so of course, I unhooked everything and moved it around, and now, for some reason, I can't see video on my NTSC monitor. I know everything is hooked up correctly because I can log and capture and see video on the monitor; the video captures correctly with audio and everything. But when watching video in the timeline, there's nothing happening on the monitor. Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else?
I have switched out firewire cables, rebooted the computer, etc. I'm so confused!

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

Vga (laptop) to rca video

Thought I would ask this of the resident geniuses here.
Anyone know what I need by way of cable, connector, converter devic.... to get a Powerpoint Project out of my laptop to display on an Autocue Monitor.
Laptop has HDMI and vga. Autocue only has RCA (video) connector.
I doubt the HDMI is useable for the Powerpoint.
Thanx all.

If the input is component use this:
http://www.amazon.com/Wired-Up-Premium-7-62M-Component-Cable/dp/B000QEDE76
ot this:
http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-Component-Video-Cable-Audio/dp/B001ID829O/ref=sr_1_1?ie= UTF8&qid=1359963973&sr=8-1&keywords=hdmi+to+component+cable
If it is composite use this:
http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electroni cs&ie=UTF8&qid=1359964069&sr=1-2&keywords=vga+to+composite+cable
Audio is a different issue when using composite. The VGA port doesn't put out audio like the HDMI port does.

Problems connecting my MacBook Pro to an external monitor

For the past 2 years, I have regularly connected my MacBook Pro to an external monitor (Dell SR2320L) using a VGA cable. When I do so, the picture automatically comes up in the maximum resolution of the external monitor (1920 x 1080). However, just in the past few weeks, the picture on my external monitor automatically comes up in 1600 x 1200 instead. When I click on the display menu in the upper right corner of my screen, there isn't even an option for 1920 x 1080 anymore. I've tried restarting my computer and even unplugging and replugging in the cable, but nothing seems to fix the problem. However, on at least some occasions, the problem seems to fix itself after about a day or so of use, and the picture reverts back to 1920 x 1080. I should note a couple of things: when I connect another MacBook to my monitor, the display automatically comes up in 1920 x 1080. And when I connect my Macbook to a different display, I have the same problem as I have with my display. So I think the issue is definitely with my computer, not my monitor. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to solve this problem? Or, when the problem arises, is there anything I can do to reset the display to 1920 x 1080 other than waiting for the problem to fix itself? Any suggestions woudl be greatly appreciated!

Hi bonfig,
If you are having issues with the external display settings on your MacBook Pro, it may be worth going throught the following article, in particular the portion about resetting the SMC and PRAM:

If your iMac has mini display port and/or thunderbolt no reason it shouldn't work.
It works great for me, when I'm on the road, I can watch movies I have on my computer on the hotel CRT TV.

• Only if your video camera supports it. Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
• Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
• If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac. For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
• The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
• If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

How can I output RCA video?

How can I output RCA video from the headphone jack of my macbook pro? Is there any software to do this?

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
