It depends on the model of Mac mini. If you have the new shape Mac mini - the one with the black circular plastic disk on the bottom, then yes. It can support sending audio and video to a suitable Displayport or Mini Displayport monitor, and it can also support sending audio and video together via HDMI using the built-in HDMI port.
Older Mac minis do not support this even with a Mini Displayport to HDMI adaptor. The nearest you can get is an adaptor like the KanexLive iAdapt 51 which takes the audio from the speaker out and the video from the Mini Displayport and then combines them to send over HDMI.

Are there any 30 pin female to lightning adapters that support video and audio together?

I have a wowwee cinemin slice projector and I wondering if there are any products that will convert the 30 pin to lightning that supports audio and video, since the Wowwee Cinemin Slice plays video through the iPhone, but currently only has the 30 pin adapter? Thanks so much.

yeah, and I can't believe that you can't buy sushi for breakfast, but there it is. Chris CA is right. Lightning will NOT support analog video out. It will do audio, though. So...your best bet would be to buy a Lightning digital AV adapter (2nd generation) then try to find an HDMI to 30 pin cable. I'm presuming that the wowee has a 30 pin socket on it... I see.... it also has a VGA and a mini-HDMI port on it, so you'll have to use the last two, perhaps, unless you can find cable that goes from HDMI to 30 pin male end, then 30 pin female to female, to finally connect with the wowee. I have yet to see a 30 pin female to female adapter, and I suspect there will never be one. I can't believe many things, either, scoody. Apple is not known for going backwards, once it has introduced a new standard. It may try to acommodate some people, but it will never be able to please everyone. In any event, I think it was mentioned by Apple that, in moving to Lightning, some 30 pin stuff might not work, and the wowee cinemin slice is probably one of those things...
welp--there you go

Mac mini support for Samsung Syncmaster 244T

I recently purchased a Mac mini 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 and wanted to connect it to a Samnsung Syncmaster 244T monitor. I connected it using the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter but it would not display. I also attempted to use the HDMI to DVI adapter included with the Mac but to no avail. Any recommendations?

Try resetting the Mac Mini's > NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

Mac mini hdmi video output blurry

I have an Aug 2011 mac mini plugged into an AV receiver en route to a sony bravia 32" and the resolution is pretty bad, especially text and photos. PS3 and HD cable box output look great. I've tried working with the picture resolution on the tv but that does little to help the fuzzy mac mini video output. I have an earlier vintage mac mini that used a monitor cable to the tv and the resolution was fine -- do I have to go back to that? It seems from the message boards that windows 7 on mac mini works fine and looks great but that OSX is failing to deliver a sharp image. Suggestions? Or is there some software fix available?

I just bought a mac mini(2010) and had the same issue as coaster - mini to samsung P2270HD via HDMI gives a very bad picture quality. Took the mini back to the store and they reproduced the problem on the same monitor. Then the guy took a dvi cable and via HDMI-DVI adaptor connected it to the same monitor but on DVI input. Picture quality was fantastic.
Now why did that happen? Same HDMI port but different input to Monitor

Mac mini 1.66 and pro-tools mbox 2?

i hope someone can help!
i just got the mac mini 1.66 and Mbox 2..and the pro-tools software installed flawlessly!
(pro-tools 6.8.1)but when i went 2 open the app up, it said no hardware was located .....but i had my m box plugged in..... when i got 2 my hardware overview....and checked what is plugged into my usb ports it says that the mbox is plugged in,but for some reason it is not turning on.
i read from a google search something about passive USB ports not working with the mbox..
but IDK...
i'm old school...i'm used 2 good ol analog and somewhat analog/digital...i used 2 record on a alesis ADAT machine....but i lost my studio 2 a flood......and i heard all the rave about Pro-tools....so i said what the heck!
but me and computers dont mesh...
please help
thanks very much in advance..

Hi AbzZilla,
I was looking up this post and found you've a similar problem...
I was having the non-responsiveness with the above configurations in 'LE 7.4 & 7.4.2c (Mac-only), but I have now installed Pro Tools LE 8.
Unfortunately I still can't get the MBOX2 to work with the Mac mini 2, but the MBOX2 USB status alights now [i.e. it's very bright and now works] on the MBP 17" ...all with Mac OS X 10.5.6! In all previous Pro Tools versions it confirms support for Pro Tools and the MBox, with the Mac mini:
http://archive.digidesign.com/compato/osx/os.cfm
So I too am 'stumped' as this is the brand new computer that I wanted the software to be operable on. I've swapped the USB cables (to check if it was a failed cable) and it looks like either a firmware clash or a USB-port power issue? I've also tried non-powered USB hubs... as it could be the later issue? So when I find my powered USB hub I'll let you know, ...if there's a change?
Until then... I Iook forward to further posts in this thread!
Thanks for kicking-off the discussion.
'Regards, ;-R

Shoudl I buy Appletv or mac mini to store and run my purchased dvd's and bluray's

I am setting up a new home theater and wonder if i should buy an appleTV or a mac mini to house and access all of the current and future DVD's and Bluray movies that i currently own as well as those purchase from itunes and amazon. Does anyone have an opinion? I am considering also an a/v receiver with airport features.

Keep in mind the ATV is not designed to store any content, there is virtually no storage on the device at all.
Also, investigate if the av receivers with AirPlay built in actually support video, from what I've seen they only support audio over AirPlay.
The ATV is definitely the least expensive option, but the Mac Mini may provide more flexibility. The only issue may be ease of use with the mini connected directly to the tv. I do not have a mini so I cannot comment on how that would function.
If you're looking to save some cash, an ATV and a Chromecast would be the least expensive option.
