Does my T61 6457-Z4U have digital video out capability?

The video out connector is the standard DB-15 (three row) female connector type. The Display control panel properties and the XP System Information utility shows "Name: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M".
My external monitor (Samsung Syncmaster 940BF) can accept and display a digital signal, but is now displaying analog.
If the Nvidia will output digital, how do I change to it?
Thanks!

Digital video out not working

For some reason on my 2011 Mac Book Pro the digital video out does not work? It works just fine using the minii adapter for analog video out, but not for digital?
Any advice much appreciated!
Thx
Mark

It is working exactly as it is supposed to. You didn't read the description properly before buying.
Video mirroring is available on the iPhone 4S, not the iPhone 4.
Video out needs to be supported by the app you are using.

How to make iPod touch to have dual-video-out (device & TV)?

I have been looking for a way to do this and maybe someone out there knows how to make and iPod touch do it!?
I want what *Steve Jobs* did during the *last keynote* = using the iPod touch and at the same time showing that on a video screen.
For my company I need a device with these capabilities:
Must-have
- Touchscreen
- Dual Video (Display + AV-out simultaneously)
- AV out (S-Video not DVI)
- 12 - 24 volts (in-car voltage)
- DRM Win or AAC
Dual video means that I can choose the files/pics/vids on the iPod Touch screen, and at the same time show the same image simultaneously through video-out on TV.
Current configurations of the iPod Touch only allows one or the other.
NB: There is no other device that can do it. Tablet PCs have no video-out, Archos/PSP et al have the same restrictions as iPods do.

any ideas anyone?
come on guys 'n girls
you are the specialists

After connecting my Sony camcorder to imac (Snow Leopard) to import a video the import window does not open. I have imported videos from the sam camcorder successfully before. What could have happened? Puzzled)

After connecting my Sony camcorder to Imac (Snow Leopard) to import a video to imovie 09 the import window does not open. In the past I have successfully imported videos from the same camcorder. What could have happened? Puzzled

Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
Thank you so much for beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
So your kindness is very much appreciated.

Why MSI gt70 or gt72 dont have digital sound out?

why? If I dont use HDMI I am left only with line out, which is analog signal. SOmetimes HDMI has too much lag for a specific game so I need to use optical sound out without HDMI
any idea?

To go with the optical cable like that you also need a Toslink female adapter. You should have ordered a a cable like this instead:
http://www.amazon.de/KabelDirekt-Optisches-TOSLINK-Digital-Stecker/dp/B00KNQR4UK/ref=sr_1_31?s=ce-accessories&ie=UTF8&qid=1426490799&sr=1-31

Plug it into the headphone out/SPDIF-out jack on the computer and plug the optical cable into it.

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring?

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring? I can't get iPhone 4 video to work on my TV screen
I have just bought an MD098ZM/A (Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter). I am struggling to get it to show a picture on my TV. I know I'm doing something right because the audio is coming out of my TV speakers but no picture on the TV screen.
I have used the same HDMI channel (on the TV side) with the same cable and my thunderbolt port (MacBook Air) without any trouble - and on the same app (BBC iPlayer download then full-screen mode).
Now I note that the packaging for the MD098ZM/A says video-out on iPhone 4 but mirroring only on iPhone 4S. I only have an iPhone 4 (not the 4S). Now if the lack of iPhone 4 support for mirroring means that I can't play video material out to my TV, then in what sense is there any video-out capability at all?
There is only safety and warranty paperwork in the Apple adapter packaging - no help information. And I haven't found further guidance online either.
I do note somewhere online that it suggests that basic non-mirroring video-out (for this adapter) only works with some external TV sets. Any way of finding out which? I'm using a Sanyo CE32LD90-B LCD TV if it helps.
So far not doing very well.

Now found these but have had to give up on this adapter!

Video out from the headphone jack died... 30gb 5g

Hi all.
So, I have a 30gb 5g ipod. I have played video out of the headphone jack to a tv for years now. I have the apple version of the video out cable. So, recently, the video stopped playing. The audio plays. YES, it is set to tv out = on, NTSC. This worked fine. Now no video. Video DOES play on the ipod itself. And, I bought an expensive dock cable that has composite out and that does work for video. So, I am just wondering what happened to my video from the headphone jack. I guess I could try to get it fixed, but is it worth it? Any ideas would be appriciated! Thanks!!

OK, I was DETERMINED to figure this one out...simply because it USED to work...
Somehow (last 'update' I assume)...my 'TV out' was turned off.
On my 80GB model, it was under menu > videos > video settings > TV Out
I just turned it 'on' and I was back in business...of course it doesn't make up for last weekend, when I was out of town trying to get the darn thing to work...but at least it works now.
Hope this helps.

The video out is NOT WORKING under 10.5.2

*APPLE please read this;*
The video out on the MacBook Pro is NOT WORKING under 10.5.2, or precisely is working with a possibility of 10%! Monitors doesn't find signal in, or when they find it, the image is unstable with green shadows.
_I tried 28 external monitor in a store and only ONE was working normally!_ I tried with all the cables combinations (DVI->DVI or DVI->ANALOG, with several different brand cables).
Before the 10.5 update, I didn't have any problem with external Monitor.
The point is that I have installed in the same computer (MAC BOOK PRO) also WINDOWS VISTA, and all the monitors that are not working with MAC OS are working perfectly under VISTA system.
I made a long research online and I found out that thousands of users have the same problem, but no one receive an answer from APPLE from several months!
This is not the only problem that I have under MAC OS 10.5, but them, are other topics.
_Please at least resolve this MAJOR problem that I and thousands of other users have with video out._
Thank you.

Video out under 10.5.2 works fine for me and for a colleague of mine with a more recent MacBook Pro. I'd wager it's a problem with your Leopard install, not a universal one.
Also, FYI, Apple doesn't read these forums; they're just for user-to-user help. If you want to leave MacBook Pro feedback for Apple, do so here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
But again, I do not believe yours is a universal issue. We'll be happy to help troubleshoot though. What do you mean the image is "unstable"? Could you take a digital photograph of the external monitor's screen and upload it somewhere?

Video out to a projector

I just bought a fire wire 366mhz clamshell off eBay.
Can I hook this laptop up to a video projector?
Does it have a video out?
I have seen cables for sale on eBay that states they are for some g3 units, is mine equipped for it?
Ibook clamshell - 366mhz with firewire Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Yes, yours is equipped. You'll need the composite out connector here...
You can buy it here ...of course your projector will have to accept RCA type inputs.

Video out cable extension

I have the video out cables for the iPod which, due to the recessed hole in the iPhone, wont fit. I dont mind buying a new one for my home, the only trouble is that I have one installed into my car entertainment system. The plug goes into the back of my pioneer headunits "brain" which is located behind the dashboard. Not easy at all to replace, I would truly like to avoid it.
As an alternative, does anyone know of, or have a good idea of, an extension cable that can be used to carry the video signal? This way I dont have to replace the cable, I can just use something similiar to the belkin adapter that Apple sells.
Hmm. Wonder if that belkin adapter was made knowing that the video out was going to be enabled eventually... Any ideas?

You need to purchase the new apple component AV cables. The old av cables that go into the headphone jack no longer work for the new ipods and iphone. The new apple component av cables are now connected through dock connector.
I went to the apple store today and got the new Apple AV component cables, went home and plugged my phone. The cables are huge, 5 connections (component), a doc, and usb plug. You can not separate the cables at all. You also get a second charger.
All the videos that i have on my phone are my own encoded videos. They are 640x480 at 700kbps-900Kbps with 2 pass encoding. Audio at 140-160kbps.
So quality, I had my phone plugged into a standard TV. 750kbps and below is not bad but you can see some pixelation around objects from time to time. Everything above 800kbps looks as if the movie was being played from dvd. Aspect ratio is retained and everything looks pretty awesome. Controls for the movie are from the iphone. Audio is pretty good as well.
I will try connecting to my GF's HD tv and see what happens.

Why no Video Out?

From what I have read it seems that the nano doesn't have the software or hardware(the stereo minijack that has video capability) to support video output. Is this correct?Does anyone know why the iPod nano doesn't have a video out, and when, if possible, the video capability will be added to the nano?

Jace,
The nano's don't have video out...I have one and know this to be true, but you can check the spec sheet under connectivity here:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
Frankly, it is a good thing that Apple didn't put the power circuitry into the headphone jack on the nano....even if they could have fit it in, electrical interference from that is commonly thought to be the source of a well-known audio flaw in the color models of iPod, requiring the use of higher-impedance earphones to compensate for.
I'm hoping Apple is migrating to a dock connector circuitry for that type of i/o, and will leave the audio jack pure and protected.
In either case, if you need to display photos on TV, you need a full size iPod...the nano's features are size, flash, and a color display whose primary value is legibility over the monochrome displays...photos on the nano are a cute addition for showing baby photos on an airplane...that's all.

Video out stopped working with 10.4.6 update

Hi, i've just installed the 10.4.6 update and now i have no video out.
i have a video connected to the adc to s vhs connector. now when i start up my monitor starts up as the second display, and i have to put my computer to sleep and then wake it up and the monitor is reset to the main display.
is there anyway i can reset something, cause it seems like it's remember previous settings or something.
HELP!
if i disconnect the adc to s vhs adapter then it is all fine.

7 hours later and i finally get it working again.
i have no idea why this happened, but somehow the menu bar got switched to the tv display. at the same time as this my video stopped working properly. so that was half the problem.
then it took ages to reconfigure switch res, but i finally did it.
for some reason my g5 doesn't want to know about using a tv as a 2nd display, until......UNTIL!!!! you rotate the display in the display preference by 90 degrees. then all of a sudden it comes on, and you can rotate it back to normal.
why oh why this happens only apple knows. it's like a secret door into the wonderful world of dual displays.
sort it out apple.

IPod Touch 2nd Gen Video Out Problem with Apple Component Cable

I'm trying to get video out working with my iPod touch connected to my TV. Here's the information.
32 GB iPod Touch 2nd Gen
Apple Universal Dock (current version.)
Apple Component Out cable for iPod (current version that connects with a dock connector.
I've connected the component cables into the component video input on my TV. When I start playing any video (purchased off iTunes store in Standard Def,) I get a scrambled picture that appears to be the video, and no sound. I purchased the TV in South Korea and haven't gotten to test it yet on a TV back in the US. I have my video out settings with wide screen turned off and set to NTSC (South Korea uses NTSC.) I've also tried every setting combination, and switching the cable connections with the same or similar results. Sorry if a similar problem has been posted elsewhere, but after searching, I couldn't find any similar behavior. Any ideas on what might be the cause? I don't have any other component devices to check if the component on the TV is bad.

I've got that same problem: iPod Touch 2nd Gen, Apple Component Cables, and an HD TV.
The funny thing is, the cable works fine with an iPod Classic (160 GB) but not for the iPod Touch. Can anyone explain why that is?

Adding a PCI graphics card to a G5 to get S-Video out - ???

Hello!
I have a G5 and a Radeon 9650...everything is fine except:
I would like to have S-Video out to preview my video scenes on a preview monitor!
Unfortunately the Readeon 9650 has no video out and because I'm using two display, the Apple DVI-to-Video adapter is not an option for me.
Ok! What about sticking an old Radeon 7000/9200/9250 PCI in my G5, so I will get video out and I could even attache a third display to it:-) ???
As usual, PC graphic cards are way cheaper as the Apple ones, so is it possible to use a PC card WITHOUT flashing it???
(I mean, the system just uses my 9650 for normal operation and the PCI card will just be used after OSX is running)
Has anybody any experience with using two graphic cards in there G5??? Are there any problems with OSX?
Cheers
Balrock

Hi Edwin,
thanks for your answer!
I thought that I will have to flash the card, but that should not be so much of a problem.
Will a flashed (or nativ Mac) card in the PCI slot work without any problems together with my AGP 9650?
Or will it confuse OSX and slow down the G5?
There is also the problem of flashing a Radeon 9250(they are quite cheap!). Only Club3D cards are flashable as far as I know, but they are only tested when beeing the main/only graphics card in the computer.
So, is it possible that flashed cards, not able to handle the boot process/be the main card, will still work with video out after OSX is up and running?
I won't let my camera run all the time as a Firewire/S-Video converter.
Cheers
Balrock

Ziio: Composite video out?

In the initial specsheets released for the Ziio 7" a composite video out was mentioned. It seems that the current specs does not mention this?
Is composite video out present on current Ziio's?

Thanks for your quick reply.
I wanted to use the Ziio to dri've my two rear-seat screens in my can (using composite as HDMI is not supported)
