External monitoring of the simulator ?

Is there a way to use the fire wire port as the out put in the simulator mode ? I know you can buy the dvi to s video adapter. Crazy that you can monitor the out in FCP via fire wire but you can't in the dvd pro simulator ? Am I missing something ??

I'm not sure if a standard FW connection will output the simulator preview, but there are probably some other hardware solutions that will.
Consider how much more work simulator is doing than FCP - FCP is playing back native video directly from the hard drive, and can support a few levels of realtime conversion. DVDSP is simulating the multiplexing of encoded mpeg-2 video with all your audio streams, the compositing and muxing of menu layers and overlays, subtitles, etc. It's also decoding the muxed streams on the fly for playback. There's a reason it takes so long for the build to mux this stuff for real. To output to FW DV, the end result of all this realtime muxing and decoding would then also need to be transcoded on the fly to a DV stream in order to pump it out the FW. This is why some extra hardware is needed, but pretty much any hardware device such as the Matrox MXO, or a display card with an S-Video out, will be displaying the secondary desktop as the preview, not transcoding a separate video stream exclusively for the preview. In this case, you are pretty much seeing the same preview as if you chose full-screen desktop as your preview.
Hope this helps -

2 External Monitors with the T430s with Intel HD4000

I have read several multiple monitor threads but could not get a clear solution to this.
Model: I have a T430s with Intel HD4000 graphics.
Desired set up: 2 External Monitors + Lenovo LCD
Problem: It seems that I can only drive one external monitor. I'd like to drive two external monitors, as I did previously with my T420.
What I've tried: I have a dock and have tried VGA + DVI for the external monitors, as well as DVI + DVI. Neither setup has worked. It always greys out the third monitor in the Windows Display options.
Any thoughts on how to drive two external monitors with the T430s? Clarity is appreciated. Thank you!

If I'm reading the link you provided correctly, can I correctly assume that I CAN connect two external displays with just the W520 Laptop and NO docking station?
I tested this today. You can connect two external displays (1 VGA, 1 DisplayPort) without a docking station. The result is 3 independent displays - the ThinkPad LCD, the VGA monitor, and the DisplayPort monitor.

I would like to use my early 2008 imac as an external monitor in the 2012 mac mini

I would like to use my early 2008 imac (MB325LL/A) as an external monitor for the late 2012 mac mini,(not ordered yet). Is this possible in any manner? The iMac utilizes mini-DVI output, thus my hopes are not too good.
Thanks,

My mac won't recognize an external monitor. The screen Goes Blue Once, then goes blue again and the second monitor just turns off. I am using an HDMI adapter to a visio TV. I also have my xbox on the tv. Can anyone Help??

Lol, figured out the first part. Just for those who may be searching, when you click on the Display Preferences, and click on the arraingment tab... it not only shows where your two screens will be displayed, but the WHITE BAR at the top of one screen is the dock/toolbar. Click and hold to grab this and just slide it over to the screen you'd like it to be on.
You have to release it IN the screen box, not on top of it... and it should pop right over to the new (or old) screen. At any rate, you can put the dock on either (or any) screen that you prefer.
I am thinking of ordering more of these. Lol. 3 monitor setup seems like it would be crazy good.
Still looking for the answer to keeping the new 16" screen on the right without switching between screen #s with that... not expose... Lion feature.
Thanks. Hope my other question has an answer out here.

HT3131 Is there a way to use 2 external monitors with the MacBook Pro in closed clamshell mode?

My internal display on my MBP is having issues and occasionally displays white lines all over the screen. The current external monitor displays properly. Is there a way to use two extrernal monitors intead of one external + the internal display?

Hi Mike, this isn't the first such problem report I've seen, perhaps another option...

How do I get a video signal to an external monitor via the mini-display port on my Mac Book Air?

I can't get a video signal out through my mini-display port on my Mac Book Air (version 1). Thus I can't feed BBC iPlayer to an external monitor. There is some connectivity - the MAC wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible and sound is transferred. Is it likely to be a cable connection problem (though the cable works with a Windows operating laptop)?

First, what you said is contradictory. You say "can't get a video signal", then say"the Mac wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible". "No video signal" means an absolutely black,blank screen. It sounds like you have plenty of signal.
I am supposing what you are seeing is actually a blank desktop, which is to be expected if your settings are such that you are extending the desktop, instead of mirroring it.
Within the preference panes is a setting that allows you to change this. Open System Preferences, click Displays, and then click Arrangement. You will see that you are extending the desktop. Change that setting.

Macbook screen/display comes on and then goes dark; external monitor shows the screen in the mirroring mode; What's wrong, please. Thanks.

My Macbook (Black,August 2008...love it!) screen lights up/comes on and then immediately goes dark; the screen shows on an external monitor in mirroring mode. Any thoughts/suggestions. Many thanks.

Hi, firetiger.... i have the EXACT same problem!!! i have the same Macbook aluminum unibody screen also. I have no idea how to fix it. I'm also out of warranty and i've tried everything... resetting the pram, trying to restart in safe mode, trying to boot from a cd... .NOTHING WORKS!!! i can still control brightness itself but ive never tried attaching to an external monitor. I know everything is loaded correctly... i just don't know whats wrong. If you have any ideas.. please let me know. Also, I think apple will fix the macbook pros with a similar issue for free http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 but i know this doesnt apply for me. hopefully they work something out because I really love that computer!!!

Anyone having issues with playback on an external monitor in the new CC 2014?

So Premiere has updated its little self on my mac and now won't work with my external monitor via HDMI or Apple TV. Works absolutely fine the rest of the time but as soon as I try and get external playback to work it crashes.
Is anyone else having this issue / know a fix?
Thanks!

Best External Monitor for the DV SE 500 and what connections are needed?

Hello everyone.
What do people think is a good LCD monitor for the slot loader iMac? (I'm here in UK with access to PC world and Currys, etc,)
I've never looked but I'm sure from other posts that I will have a connector under a panel round the back somewhere.
I've seen monitors for sale at various prices ranging from £120 to £250. I've also noticed that some come with a HDMI (?) cable that seems to big for the connection port on my Powerbook so I'm wondering if the iMac's port will also need some sort of adapter. Are there such things as mini HDMI's and normal HDMI's and can a cable/adapter be bought to solve the problem?
I really wanted a Mac display but from posts elsewhere I find that these need digital connections and neither my iMac nor my 550 Powerbook has digital out.
So - I'm assuming I need a monitor with an analogue connection - possibly together with an adapter cable.
I'm thinking no bigger than 19".
I'm also wondering if I should try to find one with a resolution that matches both my Macs - is this possible? I know the Powerbook will run displays of several resolutions (millions of colours) in display closed mode but I'm not sure what the iMac will support.
I've seen monitors quoting 1280x1024 as something called a native resolution. Is this important?
What do people think/advise? Many of you will have hooked up an external LCD monitor to your iMacs and will have cracked all these issues.
Can you help with some info please?
Cheers to all, Russ

Russ,
1. The iMac G3 (>=400MHz) has a standard VGA port (15pin D-Sub) which is standard for analogue PC monitors.
2. New LCD panels will either have a newer digital DVI connection (which current Apple Displays use) and/or use the older analogue VGA connection for wider compatibility.
3. LCDs look sharpest in their native resolution. You can see this effect by changing the resolution down from the maximum on your TiBook. The display is still visible but less defined.
4. As the iMac G3 can only "mirror" the internal display on to the external you may wish to look for an XGA (1024x768) panel. However, the Powerbook Ti can display a wide range of resolutions (see the full list in this link) in either "mirror" or "dual-display" mode.
The issue here is that a display that makes full advanatge of your Powerbook's capabilties is overkill for an iMac G3's limited capabilites.
5. FYI, HDMI is a digital connection for Digital TVs. It is similar to DVI technology but carries sound data too.
6. Here's a large selection for well under £150 (link).

Can an external monitor be the main monitor?

Is there a way to make my external monitor the main monitor, i.e. the one with the menu bar at the top, without just "mirroring" the display?

Yes. With the external monitor connected (and mirroring off), in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab, where you see the icons of the two displays, drag the menu bar from the current location to the other display. That will move the menu bar and dock to the external display.

What is the max resolution for external monitors from the intel hd 4000 graphics driver

What is the max resolution supported by the intel hd 4000 graphics driver found on the 13in MacBook Pro for EXTERNAL monitors?

OK so after doing much research... this seems to be the best workflow.
Bring HDV in to FCP as ProRes 422.
Edit show... add bells and whistles, etc.
Export movie as ProRes 422.
Then for the client - ensure that they have latest version of Quicktime and download the Apple ProRes Quicktime Decoder (for mac or Windows). (It is assumed they have a decent computer to play back on.)
The client will then be able to play a movie encoded as proRes 422 and all will be happy.
As a back up a high resolution h264 file can't hurt.
Thanks for everyones input. We got there in the end.

How many external monitors can the i7 Macbook Pro run?

I have two external 22" LCD. Can the new i7 Macbook Pro run both of these?

Yes, (assuming the minidisplay port is as capable as on the earlier models) but you will need additional hardware.

How can I connect an external monitor to the new 27 inch iMac?

I have an old PC monitor that I want to connect to my new 27 inch iMac, it's the latest edition, the one that doesn't have any mini display ports.
All I have are four USB 2.0 ports and two Thunderbolt ports. No mini display port of any kind. So is there an adapter for me? My old monitor can use either VGA or HDMI and I'm not really fussed which one I use. A link would be most helpful, surley that are more people with the same problem.

If the monitor supports vga and hdmi you probably what to use the digital hdmi over the analog vga. You need a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter. For this application mini-displayport will work when plugged into a thunderbolt connection (TB is sort of a superset of mini-displayport, the plugs and sockets are physically compatible).
Here's examples of each kind of adapter:
Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt to VGA Adapter
