Does DVI support 1080p?

So I've done some research and it appears there are 2, maybe 3 different types of DVI, the three being DVI-A, DVI-I, and DVI-D and apparently the DVI-D supports 1080p but I am unsure of whether my MacBook supports that. I have a late 2008/early 2009 model of the 13" aluminum MacBook. It has a mini display port as I'm sure you all know. My current setup is using the apple mini display port to DVI adapter and then I'm running a DVI cable (the one that came with my external monitor) to a 23" Samsung 1080p LED monitor. I know I am running my monitor at 1920x1080 resolution, but my question is am I losing quality with DVI as opposed to HDMI?

No. All HDMI is is DVI + digital coax audio. They are essentially the same thing as far as video goes.

Does ATV2 support 1080p

Does the ATV releases just before today's ATV(3) now support 1080p with today's software update?

Alrighty. So the only way to get 1080 from ATV is to get the one that came out today (sorry - everything has to be spelled out for me )?

Does Mac support 1080p video?

Does mac and imovie 11 support 1080p video?

"Got your "Ins and Outs of iMovie" eBook; did not finish reading.
Read Appendix B (720p) or C (1080p). Here is some additional information for you:
When you next launch iMovie, and create a new project, the Project Properties will show 25fps or 30fps.
However, when you drag the first 50p or 60p clip into the project, when you check Project Properties you will see the fps field is blank.
Do not click in this Properties field.
From this point onward, iMovie will work at 50fps or 60fps.
Animated effects created by iMovie will be, however, created at25fps or 30fps. Each frame will be repeated twice.
iMovie must now process twice the number of frames per second, so it may be more sluggish.

Does FCPX support 1080p?

I have a Canon HF G10 that is set to shoot in recording mode MXP with a fram rate of 60i. When i import the video into FCPX i see 1920 x 1080 | 29.97 fps 1080i HD under the info tab for each clip. How do i get it to 1080p?

was a short, illustrated essay I once wrote in this neverending debate ....
due to its inherent blurriness, interlaced feels, esp. on fast (horizontal) subjects, better.
for the price of a resolution loss.
you can accomplish a 'better' smoothness when following basic rules of cinematography, using a slow shutter-speed - which results in 'natural' motion-blurr.- for most situations, that means with the aid of ND-filters.-
but …
if you like to use the material for adding effects, esp. tools like Optical Flow, plugins as Twixtor, short shutter speed is needed, therefor 'better'.-
nicolefromgambrills wrote:

avoid that.
or, stabilize it, manually, attaching weights to cam, fly-pods, in-cam-features.-
esp. any vertical movements create odd effects by using interlace.
the (in)famous 'movie look' every video-cam hobbyist is panting for is based NOT upon frame-rate, but upon achievable slow shutter-speeds. and 24fps would allow down to 1/48th - which gives wonderful blurry pics.-
on the other hand, in context with Jackson's Hobbit in HFR, it was noticed that a younger audience prefer the blurry-free, but smooth 'electronic' look.- different viewing habits.
you're using a beast of a cam - I assume, the correlations of iso / f-stop / sec is familiar to you

DVI-out does not display 1080p, only 1080i

My MacBook is not displaying 1080p through my Sharp Aquos, only 1080 (Interlaced). Because the image is so poor, I'm pretty sure that it's 1080i. No matter what settings I've tried, the colors are awful, and the image looks horribly interlaced.
Apple does not state whether or not the MacBook's GMA950 actually supports 1080p, but I'm pretty sure that it doesn't, so please be aware of this if you're planning on using it with an external HDTV with 1080p resolution.
Outputting 1920x1200 to my 24" Dell is no problem, and the image and color are fantastic once calibrated with SuperCal.
Windows XP on my Wintel's 8800GTS video card has no problems detecting and displaying 1080p, and it looks fine.

I have a similar issue. I know the Macbook outputs 1080p just fine because I had been doing this on a Westinghouse LVM-37W3 for over a year.
I just got the Magnavox 42MF437B and have tried connecting it to my Macbook but Mac OS X detects the monitor as 1920 x 1080 (interlaced). I had this issue briefly with my old Westinghouse LVM-37W3 but was able to get it to output into progressive scan by clicking on the monitor icon in the menu bar and selecting the other 1920x1080 option. This however, did not work with the Magnavox.
I have tried using the third party app SwitchResX and creating a custom 1920x1080 setting but it does not appear to change anything. I am connecting using a DVI-to-HDMI cable. Any ideas? Thanks.

Does the later 2009 MacBook support the Apple DVI to Video Adapter (s-video). I want to connect it to an old tv which does not support HDMI. Any suggestions?

I have a late 2009 MacBook which I want to connect to an old LG tv. The tv does not support HDMI it only has the (red, while, and yellow) ports. Sorry I dunno the exact name for it.
So I was thinking of using the Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter (s-video), link below...
http://store.apple.com/Catalog/dk/Images/M9319_screen.jpg
But I'm afraid that the MacBook might not support the adapter.
Can anyone give me a solution for this? Is there an alternative way of doing this? I'm kinda new to apple display adapters.

The Late 2009 model 6,1 has a Mini DisplayPort not the Mini-DVI. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
Composite is the name for the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs. If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. You’ll have to get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to and a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
Only the Yellow plug or the S-Video plug for video will work. For sound you'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable

Run MDP to HDMI for picture. Use a cable like this to run sound from your audio out on your Mac to your TV's audio in. That's about all you can do.

Does DVD Studio pro support 1080p for HD-DVD?

I can't find this option in the track and menu settings options.

Eric Pautsch1 wrote:
The spec does support 1080p but Compressor doesn't encode this.
Actually, Compressor does encode 1080p - so long as you limit the definition of 1080p to 23.98 fps.
The 'issue' that Marc is bumping into is the same one that so many of us were first stumped by when we began creating 24p SD DVDs: DVDSP uses the pulldown-rate as the frame rate (so 23.98 Compressor encodes are seen as 29.97 Non-drop Frame) and Tracks must be 29.97 fps to ensure playback because HD-DVD (and Blu-ray) is limited to 1080i over Component video connections.
Also, and I know this seems silly to some, but HD-DVD and Blu-ray players can still be connected to old-school non-HD TVs via Component, S-Video and Composite connections, so 29.97 playback must be assured.
Hope that helps.

Does 785GM-E51 DVI support dual link?

I am considering buying the 785GM-E51 motherboard which comes with a DVI port (as well as HDMI and VGA of course).
Will the DVI support dual link? If so, what is the maximum resolution I could have on the two monitors (say, at 60 Hz with high colour depth)?
Cheers!
jcarrete

Please clarify your question, dual link has nothing to do with being able to use two displays.
"Dual-link should not be confused with dual display (also called dual head), which describes those situations where a computer is hooked up to two monitors at once. "
That quote from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface
That been said I think you should be able to have 2 displays, 1 DVI or HDMI + VGA You can't have 2 digital out at the same time though, DVI + HDMI.

MacBook Pro DVI-HDMI 1080p doesn't work correctly

Hello,
I've just bought new Samsung LCD TV LE40B550. This TV is Full HD and support 1080p. I've connected it via DVI (macbook pro) -> HDMI (TV) cable. It works ok, when I set 1080i. But when I set up 1080p, it shows few dots (pixels) on TV not correctly. The picture is not that good as 1080i. Shouldn't it be reversely? The 1080p should be 1080i, shouldn't be?

Macbook Pro Retina HDMI Does Not Support 2560 x 1080

I have both the early and late 2013 rMBP 15 inch but it seems like the early 2013 does not support my Dell U2913WM at maximum resolution of 2560 x 1080 for some reason on HDMI. Are the HDMI ports any different between the two? I'm tried using SwitchResX, but at 2560 x 1080, I can only go up to 53 Hz before it says invalid configuation on the early 2013 rMBP. On the late 2013 rMBP, it can output 2560 x 1080 at 60 Hz fine. It would seem like both graphics cards are more than capable of pushing this resolution, and if I connect through Displayport, they're both fine too. I was hoping to use HDMI though to free up a Thunderbolt port. Why are the HDMI ports not outputting at the same capabilities?

Absolutely, I understand that but I'm wondering if or why Apple has limited the HDMI port on the early 2013 rMBP. HDMI 1.4 should be more than capable at outputting up to 4k resolution, so it would seem like Apple is intentially limiting the early 2013 rMBP to HDMI 1.2? At least one post from as early as 2012 seems to suggest that installing Windows on a rMBP allows higher outputs. I thought Mavericks included support for HDMI 1.4 (http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?101431-10-9-Mavericks-4K-working-tes ting-it-now) but did they not extend it down to the early 2013 rMBP? Seems like it would be able to support it, no?
Perhaps the better question is whether anyone has been able to output anything at over 1080P on anything other than the latest rMBP after upgrading to Mavericks?
From the earlier discussion:
"The port definitely supports it, but OS X is another story. If I boot into Windows and connect it to a display capable of displaying 2560x1440 over HDMI, it just works. If I'm in OSX, it refuses to allow anything over 1920x1200. Even if I try to force the resolution with SwitchResX, it doesn't work. If I create a custom resolution with a 40Hz refresh rate instead of 60Hz, then it does actually work. 2560x1440 @ 40Hz fits within the bandwidth constraints of a single link at 165MHz. So it appears that OSX limits the port to 1.2 frequencies. I'm not realy sure why -- HDMI 1.4 should allow for frequencies upto 340MHz, and the hardware is clearly capable based on Windows."
Now that Mavericks supports higher than 1080P over HDMI at least on the latest rMBP, did they just not extend that support to earlier rMBP's even though the hardware is capable of it?

Suddenly " display does not support HDCP " - March 2014

Hello Sky peoples Having had no trouble with my Sky+ HD and my LG TV for months and months I am now getting this "does not support HDCP" dialog every time I switch on. The TV was on then suddenly it blacked out and wouldnt restart - so I had to de-power at the socket. After restart, this error dialog always appears - and no HDMI signal I have tried all the remedial actions, power-down restarts, cable switchovers, updated box software, unplug/replug The display still works fine on bluray and xbox 360The sky box is still putting out a signal on composite video. yinch'14

Is not supporting 1080p YouTube Sony Z 2

I have a Sony Xperia Z2 does not have a 1080p option in YouTube Why

Hi,
i was able to spot it yesterday, that some of the videos did support 1080p.
Go to youtube app and chedk for the song "google my bulbul", you would get 1080p option.
i think what google has probably done is that the videos that are available on 1080p, the options are enabled and videos which are maximum at 720p, they are not ready to upscale to 1080p.
Hope this answers for the other section too..
Do not forget to give kudos and to select the correct answer as solution
Always Xperia
