Dual HDMI

Can a Mac min 2012 support dual hdmi outputs via onboard HDMI port and mini display to HDMI adapter simultaneously in video mirroring or extended desktop mode?

Why not? Mini should be able to support output from
all ports simultaneously except for headphone jack/
internal speaker. What you do with the output shouldn't
affect the Mini (in the case of the adapter). Buy parts
on Amazon so you can return for any reason).
Good luck, Tom

  • Dual Monitors with Zotac DisplayPort to Dual HDMI Adaptor?

    Has anyone had the chance to try the "ZOTAC DisplayPort to Dual HDMI Adaptor" with the MacBook Pro's yet?
    http://www.zotacusa.com/zotac-displayport-to-dual-hdmi-adaptor.html
    I'm currently using a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter to connect to the Zotac device, but I'm not having any luck on getting the MBP to detect the displays.  I wonder if I need a specific adapter, or rather just a mini-displayport to mini-displayport?

    FYI, the ZOTAC mini-displayport to Dual HDMI Adaptor doesn't quite work as advertised on my 2009 MBP 13.  Under MAC OS X 10.6.8, limited to 2560 x 1024.  (That's spread across the two external displays, as expected.)  If you try 3840, the external screens just flicker madly.  Under (bootcamp) XP, also limited to 2560.  3840 is not even presented as an option.
    I know my monitors support 1920.  Indeed, if I unplug either of them from the Zotac box, I can get full 1920 resolution on the other.
    The reduced resolution is at least usable since I use this setup just to write code.  It's frustrating though.  Maybe it's due to my older laptop.  I've read of this working better on newer MBPs.

  • Dual HDMI monitor setup on mac mini late 2012

    Hey there
    i just purchased a late 2012 mac mini and two of these monitors:
    Amazon.com: AOC IPS i2367Fh 23-Inch Screen LED Monitor: Computers & Accessories
    They only have HDMI and VGA connectivity - my question is, whats the best way to setup these monitors? I take it i will want to stay away from the VGA and will need an HDMI adapter to thunderbolt?
    so, one monitor connected straight HDMI to HDMI and the 2nd monitor HDMI ---> HDMI/MiniDisplay port adaptor? Any recommendations for the adapters/cables? Not sure what if i need male/female ect.
    Thanks!

    Yes, yses  the HDMI out on the Mini for one monitor and a mini display port to HDMI for the other monitor.

  • Dual Monitor Hook-up, DVI/VGA/HDMI?

    I think it's time to retire my aging samsung 22" and buy a few 23" LED's to replace it.
    My graphics card only has DVI out (x2), and the 3 monitors I'm looking at do not have dual DVI (either dual HDMI and DVI, or DVI/VGA/HDMI), so I would need adapters from DVI to HDMI/VGA. I'm guessing that's all handled at the adapter/hardware level, so linux should have no problem finding them, but if I'm hooking 1 up natively to DVI, and the other through an adapter (or both through adapters), will I notice any quality difference between the 2 monitors?

    Personally I use my HDMI monitor as my main monitor and have the secondary monitor attatched to VGA. I can't really tell the difference in performance between the two, however I never work with anything terribly graphics intensive.
    and it hurts to hear that my Samsung 22" is also  'aging'  of course so is my 17" secondary I guess maybe that'll be my next investment...
    Sorry about the aging comment
    But this is the answer I was looking for! I don't want to have 1 monitor hooked up via HDMI and the other VGA and be able to see a noticeable difference between the 2. I don't do anything graphics intensive either.
    Thanks for all the responses!

  • [W520] DisplayPor​t to dual outputs for 3 external monitors

    I just discovered DisplayPort dual output adapters.  Example:
    DisplayPort to dual DisplayPort, Lenovo brand.
    DisplayPort to dual HDMI (currently out of stock).
    Currently I'm using my laptop display plus two external monitors with one using VGA and the other using DisplayPort for three displays total.  Could I use one of these dual adapters to use three external monitors (plus laptop display) for four total displays?  All displays would be 1920x1080 or less.
    W520 i7-2720QM | 32 GB RAM 1333 MHz | FHD 1920x1080 | Quadro 1000M | Windows 7 & Ubuntu 14.04
    Crucial M500 480GB mSATA + 2 x 1 TB Hitachi Travelstar 7200 rpm | BIOS 1.38

    Hi, just wanted to bump this thread because I have the same question (hope that's okay).
    I currently have:
    W520 screen
    External 1080p monitor
    External 1080p monitor
    I'm hoping to keep those three displays but add a 1080p TV screen via an HDMI out. I would use the dual Displayport adapter noted above and a displayport-HDMi adapter I already have for the TV out.
    If it is possible, would I be looking at a duplicate screen situation, or could I potentially extend my desktop past the three screens for totally new real estate?
    Thanks all!

  • Macbook Pro to Sony Bravia connection

    Hi,
    I would like to connect my Macbook Pro to my Sony Bravia KDL-32V2000 but I'm not sure what input connection i need on the TV and what cable i need?
    There is a HDMI input but that is being used with the cable box. Will the PC input connection work?
    Thanks,
    Carl

    ... I can use the PC port situated close by. However, is this likely to reduce the quality?
    What are you going to be viewing? Just programs on the Mac? Or DVD movies?
    Due to the size and "excitement" factor, you might want to try that option out first. It is also your least expensive option! Use the litrtle white video adapter that came with your MBP, and get a cable from it to the PC INPUT of the monitor.
    ... Secondly, can I get a dual HDMI adaptor and have both cables connected ...
    And that's your more expensive option: a HDMI-male - to HDMI-male cable, and an "A-B HDMI Switchbox."
    The profit/markup on HDMI cables can be enormous. For example, at a large retailer here in the U.S., I find a 6-foot HDMI cable for US$69.95. The same cable is on eBay for forty dollars less. Just purchase from reputable dealers, and check the feedback. There ARE differences in quality and workmanship with these cables, so please don;t just go for price alone.
    A switchbox? I would go to the HDTV online magazines and read reviews. Or contact your local HDTV dealer for support. This might be the time to establish or re-establish your relationship with a local dealer, where pricing might not be rock-bottom, but advice, and the ability to return products without hassle is worthwhile.
    HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

  • Can I use 2 TV's as secondary displays from Macbook Air?

    Here is what I need to be able to do:
    In one large room, I need to display my keynote presentation from my Macbook Air 11" (Mid 2012) onto 2  50" Flat-Screen TV's simultaneously that are on the walls on the left and right sides of the room.
    I have several Apple TV's but don't really like Airplay so much because it looks "choppy" when displaying animations. Besides, I'm not even sure you can Airplay mirror to 2 Apple TV's at the same time...?..
    I also am wondering... will a Thunderbolt-to-Dual HDMI Out work (or does that exist, lol) ??
    Help much appreciated..

    Nevermind. I resolved this.
    Went to Best Buy and bought a Rocketfish 2-way HDMI Splitter. Went from my Macbook Air right to both HDTV's.
    BOOM.

  • Outputting to five displays

    Our college is attempting a multimedia show, where a single computer running QLab needs to output different videos to five different displays.  I've been able to put two stock GeForce cards in our 2008 Mac Pro.  But I haven't found any other video cards (without a separate power cable) that I can add to the Mac Pro.  The closest I got was the XFX One, which the OS (10.6.8) seems to recognize but won't initialize.  I tried a BlackMagic dual HDMI card, but even with the drivers installed the system doesn't seem to recognize it outside of BlackMagic's own software.
    Any suggestions?

    I had a chat with Apple tech support today. About the only solution they could offer was to get an ADC card and then attach a splitter to it.
    But I finally found a solution: we're going to use an iMac with Remote Desktop to manage the Mac Pro. That will leave all four of its DVI ports free for the projectors.

  • Video Resolution and monitor setup

    OK, I need a little help here because I can not get what I want.  I am running a gaming system with MSI Plat. K9A2, with 8G gskil ram @1066, timings 5-5-5-15, 2.1v, two saphire 4870 1g cards, crossfireX via dual HDMI. CCC 9.7 for 64 bit on 64 bit Vista Prem.  The monitors are ACER H233H with a max resolution of 1920x1080.  I am basically only using widows video config. and CCC. I am set to extend my desk top.  If i try to run 1920x1080 it crops around the image by abour 3/4 of an inch.  The same for both monitors.  I can run both at 1650x1080, full screen without a problem. color is 32bit. 59-60 hz is the refresh rate.  I have tried to force the config. for full screen 1920x1080, but still get the cropping or the 1920x1080 monitor pushes the windows tool bar off the screen along with any icons that are left side of the primary monitor.  All drivers are up to date at this time.  I have tried ccc with full enable gpu scaling, no change.  I have tried the setup with maintaining aspect ratio, scaling image to full (where it is set now) and using centered timings, no change.  I can not change the scaling options slide bar or check the box, the slider is all the way up to over  scan (which may be the problem), but i can not change it. The OSD H-position and V-position for each on monitor control is 83 and 3 respectively.  The screens are set at full, If i set them at aspect I get cropping of about 1 inch on the right and left side of each monitor. DDC is on, and ACM is off.  Under the regular settings for color management I can no change the V.position and H.position, they are set to 0.  Any thoughts?  I am well powered and well cooled, so that is not a problem.  Thanks in advanced.

    Thanks guys. There's no issue with playing the video when launching it direct in Windows Media Player. Its just when launched from the DirectShow API. We've now got a 3rd party looking at that API and have a temporary fix.
    So for future reference there are no specific problems with the rendering, codecs or resolutions, but there may be an issue with applications that launch high res media on to a 2nd monitor with the DirectShow API.
    thanks

  • Connecting macbook pro to two monitors?

    How do I connect two apple cinema displays (24" and 30") to a 15 inch macbook pro (mid 2010)?

    Mmm... the only thing I can think of right now is the  "Matrox DualHead2Go"
    http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/dh2go/
    However that requires DVI connections or Display port... So, you might need to get a pair of HDMI to DVI Adapters too..

    What  do I need to add to my comp to have two or three  hdmi ports to run video or cable TV  and are some better than others ?

    Hi,
    Your post is under notebook forum. For desktop, you can use a double HDMI video card such as one of these:
       https://www.google.com.au/search?q=dual+hdmi+video​+card&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENAU282&prmd=imvnsfd&sourc​...
    you also need to make sure the PSU on your machine has enough power to run a new card.
    Other option (which I'm using now) is to use a spliter, unfortunately that may not be the way you want.
    Regards.

  • NVIDIA Quadro CX  and Adobe CS4

    Just wondering if anyone's using this and is it worth the cost in AE?
    Also, noticed it has Stereo 3D monitoring support. How does this work in AE?
    Thanks for any replies.

    No idea, really. I've read a more detailed review here http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=649, and while the thing seems to "hammer", the conclusion is, that it's primarily doing good things for Premiere and Photoshop users. So if you really only do AE and have no studio equipment that could benefit from the SDI and dual HDMI, it is probably not having that many advantages compared to a more affordable model. And I just realized once more, that I really need to rob a bank. ;-) Core7i, graphics card, big monitor... so many new beautiful things and no money on the account. *sigh*

  • Cable confusion

    Taking delivery of my new Pro in a couple of days and am considering buying a Asus PQ321QE but am totally confused by the following:
    Apple says
    'Which 4K displays can I use?
    You can use the Sharp PN-K321 and the ASUS PQ321Q with the Mac Pro (Late 2013). These displays require using a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable or a High-Speed HDMI cable to connect to your Mac Pro. European versions of these displays do not include an HDMI port.'
    Seems easy; however, I cannot find a mini display to display port cable.
    Additionally, despite the Apple advice the Asus does seem to have an HDMI port I can use:
    'The Asus PQ321QE features DisplayPort and dual-HDMI ports inputs to connect to your various devices and PCs simultaneously.  Built-in 2W stereo speakers simplify free space from needing separate speakers for a complete audio visual experience.  Picture-by-picture (PBP) mode splits the screen down the middle to display content from two separate sources side-by-side to view images from different signals and easily switch between the main and PBP source, including audio.'
    I would be grateful for guidence.
    Thanks.

  • How do I connect dual link dvi to hdmi so I can use my TV as a monitor?

    I have tried to google this for some time and have gotten nothing but conflicting responses.  I have a 15" macbook pro with a dual link dvi port.  I want to connect it to the hdmi port on my HDTV.  What do I need to make that happen?
    Is there actually an adapter from dual link dvi to hdmi or will I need multiple devices for this?
    thank you,

    This or many others like it will work, then a standard HDMI cable.

    I think you are sailing in uncharted waters with those kind of modifications.
    I am only guessing, but if you have not already done so,  do a PRAM reset and then trash your FCP preferences.

    My understanding is the Mac is doing a ram/hardware test during the grey screen, if the card you added had additional memory, then it is very likely the test will take longer - but I am no hardware expert.
