Connecting Retina to Boxlight Projector ...

Hello ... I have a Retina Mac book pro and need to hook it up to this Boxlight projector. Since the Boxlight doesn't have an HDMI connector, what kind of cable/adaptor do I need to get? ..  thanks ...

So is Thunderbolt the updated name for Mini Display Port?
Thunderbolt digital video output
Native Mini DisplayPort
This is what I ordered to connect with the COMPUTER IN DVI on the Boxlight ... fingers crossed ...

  • Will an iPad mini with retina display connect to a digital projector?

    Will an IPad mini with retina display connect to a digital projector for presentations?

    Yes, certainly. Depending on the projector's inputs, you'll need one of these adapters:

    or a third-party equivalent.

  • Can't connect MBP to LCD projector using DVI-TO-VGA adapter

    I am trying to connect my MacBookPro to a Hitachi CP-X885 projector, which I normally connect an IBM Thinkpad to at 800x600 or 1024x768. I also use my MBP and the VGA adapter to connect to other LCD projectors and monitors (so my adapter works, as well as both systems, projector, cables, etc.). Problem is, that when I connect my MBP to the projector (I have to connect it via VGA as there is a 250 foot cable that goes to the front where the rear-projection takes place). When I do the "detect displays" nothing is detected. I also connected directly to the projector using a shorter cable, same thing (doesn't detect it). So, is the projector not supplying some type of signal to the output, that the MBP wants to see?)... is there a way to FORCE the MPB to have output? I know that if there is signal, it will display (we have LOTS of notebooks that display to the projector just fine, BUT have SEVERAL MBP's, and NONE of them will detect, and we've tried several adapters (just to be sure)... HELP!... is there some way to FORCE output from the MBP instead of it having to DETECT IT???
    Thanks!

    Sorry Walter, but according to the Terms of Use (which you agreed to the first time you logged in to the Discussions and can be found if you click on the "Help" link to the right):
    Do not post a URL unless it directly answers a user's question.
    The URL you post does not answer David's original question. Also, it could potentially void his warranty because a firmware hack (and this is indeed a link to a "hack") is an unauthorized alteration to the hardware of his computer. ("Software" can only be installed on the hard drive and that hack is not installed on the hard drive, it's installed on the firmware on a chip inside the logic board.)
    I don't want to take this thread off-topic, but your reply does NOT help David's situation. I would, however, value your input and anyone else's to this and any other topic in the Discussions as long as it is pertinent to the original subject.

  • I am trying to connect to an external projector

    I have a 15" Macbook pro running Windows XP Pro bootcamp, I am trying to connect to an external projector using the Mac mini dvi to vga adaptor, I have now tried two different adaptors but still I cannot get the display to work.
    Does anyone know if there is an update that needs to be installed or additional drivers that may need to be installed for this to work?
    Anyone out there have any ideas?
    Thanks
    Simon

    Thanks to the suggestion of downloading XP Service Pack 3, the problem seems to be resolved!

  • Connecting MAC Air to Projector - which is better, hdmi, vga or usb?

    Connecting MAC Air to Projector - which is better, hdmi, vga or usb?

    HDMI is thje preferred digital replacemnt for older analog video standards, which your other choices use. It offers far higher signal and definition quality.
    Apple has an adapter that is used with your Thunderbolt port/ Mini DisplayPort, if yours is equipped as such.
    I've not had a problem with this. It is a Belkin.

  • Connecting to a Network Projector

    We're looking to upgrade our office projector and are interested in using the built in Windows feature, "Connect to a Network Projector". I've asked a few manufacturers if they support the future and they said no. I have a feeling that all network
    projectors are connectible using the built in tools Windows has. Has anyone had any luck with this feature? If so, what projector brands? We're hoping to avoid installing custom software. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Just an example:
    PLC-WXU700
    http://us.sanyo.com/Projectors-by-Market-Government-Meeting/PLC-WXU700
    it states: compatibility with the Windows Vista® Network Projector Function

  • When connecting to an external projector, an old photo is displayed and does not update

    When connecting to an external projector, an old image is displayed and will not update.   I am working on a 2009 Mac Book Pro.

    This is the Mac Pro desktop forum. I requested your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.

  • Grey screen when connected to external monitor / projector

    I have a 13" Macbook Pro  (OS 10.6.7, 2.4 GHz Intel, NVIDIA GeForce 320M) that is freezing up when connected to an external monitor or projector.  The monitor or projector works fine when initially connected, but after an hour or so of use, both screens will suddenly turn grey or black and the computer is totally unresponsive (the sleep light is not on).  I have to do a hard shut down using the power button. This problem only occures when connected to a monitor / projector.
    This freeze up happens in various use cases; watching a movie, web surfing, editing docs, or even when i'm away from the computer, it seems entirely random.
    I'm connecting to a Dell U2711 external monitor using a HDMI cable.  I've tried 3 different HDMI cables / adaptors, so I'm pretty sure it's not the cable that's the problem.  The problem also occures when connected to an Epson Powerlite HD 705 projector (again using HDMI)
    I've called Applecare and run a Hardware Test (no issues found), I've also re-installed the operating system and ran all updates.  The problem still occures.
    Idea ideas on what's wrong?

    Found the solution here: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/152203/osx-10-10-yosmite-turn-off-macbo ok-pros-display-while-connect-to-external-moni
    In terminal:
    Enable: sudo nvram boot-args="niog=1"
    To undo: sudo nvram -d boot-args
    This works brilliantly!
    Steps I use:
    1) After putting in the terminal command, reboot and close the lid immediately
    2) Keep the lid closed during boot up and once logged in, open the lid
    3) The MacBook Pro's screen is off

  • How do you connect iMovie to a projector?

    I have no problem with keynote, it connects easily to a projector, but I do not find a way for iMovie
    Help please

    I had a similar problem that I solved with Apple TV.

  • How to connect lumia 1020 to projector

    hi! somebody knows how to connect lumia 1020 to projector??? maybe exists any programs for it? i want to make a presentation in a real time direct from my phone Lumia 1020!
    Thanks in advance

    The Lumia 1020 does not support tv or video out via cable. You can play media stored on the phone via wifi to a DLNA enabled player. This won't work for Powerpoint.
    A possible workaround is to use the Nokia Beamer app to share whatever appears on your phones display to an internet connected tv or display.

    So it likely has a basic VGA connector?  If so you just need a mini-display port to VGA adapter

  • Connect ipad 2 to projector?

    I bought the Scosche video cables for my ipad to connect it to a projector at school. However, the projector will not recognize the ipad. Am I supposed to download a certain app? I was told to download a VGA app by a coworker but I am not using VGA cables. Thanks!

    Apple makes cables that go to the 30-pin dock connector and a display device, They come in HDMI, VGA, composite and component. However, not all projects are compatible with this setup.  You shouldn't need any special apps.

  • Macbook retina to a projector

    I am trying to attach a macbook retina to a projector using the thunderbolt to VGA adaptor.  I get the background to appear but no applications are visible (although they are visible on the macbook screen)  How do I get them to talk to each other?

    Were you ever able to solve your problem?
    I got a new Epson Powerlite 1761 Wireless projector and have a MacBook with Retina Display.  It works great until I try to play a DVD in my presentation (it plays videos off youtube but not from the DVD).  If I go into the display the Airport Mirroring is shadowed out.  I was able to do it once by just clicking the show mirroring on the bottom but does not work now.
    Let me know if you ever figured anything out since I do multiple presenttions so it is a bit frustrating to think I have to get a PC to do this.  Thanks so much.
