Displaying video on Apple monitors

I have heard of several video post suites using the 23" cinema displays as an HD video monitor. Is there any video professionals out there who could shed their experiences and thoughts on this? Spec wise they are 1920 x 1200, but obviously calibrating from 3rd party interfaces, etc. is a concern. Still, it may be viable to dumping $4,000 - $6,000 on other production monitors from Sony and Panasonic, so any feedback is greatly appreciated

Are you playing native content? Using Airplay? Mirroring?

Displaying video using "Apple Composite AV Cable" to an in car DVD player

Has anyone had any success or knows of any in car dvds/screens that will enable you to display video from an iPhone/Touch. Im assuming we would need to use something similar to Apples "Apple Composite AV Cable". To be honest I really only want to show videos from my iPhone/touch... if the screens didn't have dvds I really would care..
Thx

Your best bet would be to find a car head unit with either a composite or component input. From there you would just use the appropriate cable from the Apple Store.

Which iPod Touch model? What version of IOS? Try double tapping the home button, swipe (left to right) twice and you will see the airplay icon. Airplay needs to be enabled on ATV and iPod needs to be on the same network.

Dual 17'' Displays and an NTSC Monitor for Video Editing

I am trying to hook up two 17'' apple monitors and an NTSC television monitor for video editing, but all I have on the back of my G5 tower is one ADC plug and one DVI plug. Any advice on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated.

If you run in anything other than the LCD's native resolution your graphics card will be resampling the image. This inevitably distorts the image as pixels must be discarded to create the display. Typically this softens the image.

I'm trying to connect my 30" Cinema Display to my new Mac Pro along with a new Apple 23'" monitor. The new Apple monitor is fine. On the cinema monitor everything is blown up pretty large. Any ideas on how to solve this?

The 30" display needs a DUAL-LINK adapter.

Tap the icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.

Source monitor and program monitor boxes will not display video in full only half

I have adobe premiere pro cs6 and source monitor and program monitor boxes will not display video in full only half. So the top half of both monitors are black and the bottom half is where the video displays. But you can see that the video is missing the top part. Like people's heads are cut off and can only see body. How can i fix this so premiere pro cs6 will use the full monitors boxes to display my video?

This is a known issue with a recent Windows update.

17" Apple Monitor ceased to display, how can I test it

My 17" Apple monitor suddenly ceased to display. I can't see what I'm doing! It has the two USB ports occupied by bluetooth and usb speakers both of which function ok. The power light behaves as normal. Is it possible that the actual display matrix can have gone? Is there any way that I can test or check it to assess what the problem is?
Any help would be great. Ta

Hello, and thanks for your responses. Its a 17" LCD screen.
When its connected the power light on the front is on permanently and does cycle through any sequence.. I'll try and check it again re the dimmed desktop when I reattach it again to test it out.
I guess I was wondering if it is possible to short out any circuits when attaching a USB 2 device to a USB 1 port as on the back of the monitor. I wouldn't have thought so but I'd be interested to know if anyone has any other input. This was the only change to my set up was when I attached my LaCie USB speakers to the usb port on the back of the monitor. They worked fine for a few days and then one day the screen wouldn't function.
Thanks for the link to the forum but it appears that the monitor I have is of the older variety of cinema display which uses the ADC rather than the newer models which may have a separate power supply. If I could check this monitor on another mac then I could maybe do a wee bit more analysis but due to the ADC connection then its not so easy to find another MAC of that vintage which has the ADC monitor connection on it. Also having to pay around £70 for and adaptor ( http://store.apple.com/uk/product/M8661B/B ) to allow me to connect it up to a powerbook to test it seems a bit much when the monitor may be worth nothing if it is completely dead.
I'll continue to try to resolve and understand this as I don't want to just dump the monitor if it is just a relatively minor issue to be resolved. Any thoughts are gratefully read.

Apple tv does not display video from my iphone

My iphone 5 will not display video content on my apple tv, but the audio is working. It works intermittently with mirroring turned on, but I've never had to do that before as I connect to my apple tv via wifi. The audio plays and displays a little icon in the lower left corner of the apple tv screen with the iTunes icon and indicates I have internet radio playing. This has never happened before. I tried the same video from my iPad and it worked fine without activating the mirroring function. All applications are up-to-date. How do I fix this?

Here are the steps for AirPlay:
Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring

Never mind.   I bought the movie through my 4S phone.

30" HD Apple Monitor leaving ghost images and vertical lines

I have a Mac Pro Gen 1 with ati 5770 HD video card runing Snow Leopard. My 30" HD Apple Monitor will flicker and leave verticle lines and perstent ghost images from closed windows, even during shut down. Some times it will flicker back to normal, but then it will flicker back to leaving verticle lines and ghost images. I have tried using a different video card, same issue, nothing changes. I have tried instaling new video drivers and using old ones. I have been using the ati 5770 HD for months now without any issues. How do I fix this?

If two different cards produce the same results then I would think its your 30" display which is failing.
Update:
I just noticed in your sig you are using 10.6.8. There are some threads about video problems (flickering, not sure about vertical lines) with 10.6.8 (google "10.6.8 flickering site:discussions.apple.com"). So if you boot from your installer dvd which presumably has an older version of OSX (10.6.4 maybe?) do you still see the display problems?
Another thought - would an smc and pram reset affect anything? You might give it a try too.

HDTV and Apple monitors

I have watched HDTV on a 24inch Imac and assumed that this would also work with all the apple monitors with high enough resolution to display the HD signal.
Is this correct?

If the monitors are connected to a Mac, they will play HDTV just the way the iMac does. If you want to use an Apple display without a Mac, you will need a video scaler.

Since it is not dual-link DVI it won't work with a 30" display.

New ATI 4870 - No Video with dual Monitors

I have just received my ATI 4870 and am having some very unique problems. I have a dual display setup (NEC 2690WUXi2, Apple LED CD) running as an extended desktop. I have 2 Intel SSD X25-M in raid 0 as my boot drive in bay 1 and 2 of my Mac Pro 2.26.
The ATI card will not supply video when booted from the SSDs if both monitors are hooked up. The video stops abruptly right after the NEC is fed a signal and both monitors go blank. If only the Minidisplayport is used I get video and can subsequently plug in the NEC to the DVI port for dual displays. If I boot from one of my outboard clones the system will give me video on both monitors. I am also able to boot successfully from a SATA clone in Bay 1.
The computer boots flawlessly with 2 monitors when using the stock GT120 video card - this is from any source SSDs, outboard, etc. I have a 'clean' install of OSX with no programs that also has the same problems - no video from the 4870 and works flawlessly with the stock GT120.
If both video cards are installed I have a flawless boot. The NEC is attached to the ATI card and the Apple LED is attached to the GT120. Everything works like a champ. My thoughts are that this may be some timing issue with the SSDs and the ATI card when used alone. I can't think of any other explanation. Does anyone have a suggestion if I want to use just the ATI card?

You're sig says you have a 2009 mac pro. If so, you shouldn't need the drivers anyway as your 10.5.6 preloaded should already be the "special" version.
The beta drivers link pretty much pertained only to 2006 to 2008 mac pros ordering the 4870. As their 10.5.6 was the "plain" version.
What might be a culprit is that apple is shipping updated versions of the 4870 (different device/revision IDs). The beta drivers were taken from pre-release builds of 10.5.7 sent to devs. Maybe the updated versions are not jiving with the beta drivers, and made in particular for 10.5.7.
Well if any consolation, 10.5.7 may be as close as this week.
