Hdmi, VGA, RCA adapters - analog hdmi?

So I'm a bit foggy on this. I have the iPad 1 and have the RCA and VGA adapters that work great. Now I can get the hdmi to work at 720 from what I understand. Isn't hdmi digital? Does iPad 1 output digital and analog? Will my RCA and VGA adapters work on the ipad2? It's a big deal to me to be able to use my iPad on older TVs without hdmi (cabin, deck).

Go to http://store.apple.com and search for this accessory: Apple Composite AV Cable
That will do the trick.

HDMI is thje preferred digital replacemnt for older analog video standards, which your other choices use. It offers far higher signal and definition quality.
Apple has an adapter that is used with your Thunderbolt port/ Mini DisplayPort, if yours is equipped as such.
I've not had a problem with this. It is a Belkin.

You still produce displayport adapters with HDMI and VGA (together)?

Dual Audio Outs? / HDMI and RCA Analog at the same time?

I am trying to figure out if the Apple TV supports dual audio output. My Onkyo receiver supports dual-room/dual-source audio (powered and line-level stereo audio output for 2nd room). The problem is it can only accept an analog source for the second room.
I know that HDMI takes precedence over component video connections if both are connected.
Will the ATV send audio signal out of the HDMI and RCA Analog jacks at the same time so I can enjoy streaming music is two rooms simultaneously?

I like to be a helpful soul, so I decided to pull the owner's manual from Onkyo and take a look at the receiver, without ever thinking about the model number, and come to find out, I have my Apple TV hooked into an Onkyo TX-SR606.
I appreciate that!

Problem is, I have the HDMI into the Onkyo and the analog outs going to to another stereo receiver for the outdoor speakers. Both work at the same time, which means that the Apple TV will output both digital and analog at the same time.
Good to know.

Now, let's look at the receiver - if you have the HDMI plugged into the - say DVD input, and it's playing through the main system, and you plug the analog outputs into the DVD analog in on the receiver, the Zone 2 out will automatically look at the HDMI input, and not put out anything to the Zone 2 outs, because it won't pass digital to the Zone 2 outs.
Oh yeah, that makes sense!
Iowabeerguy wrote:
I can't try it tonight, but I think if you plug the analog outputs from the Apple TV to an input that isn't assigned to an HDMI in, (like CD) and then set the Zone 2 amp to play that source, it should work.
I've set aside some "tinkering" time this weekend to try that. I'll let you know if it works; I think it will. Thanks again!

Hdmi to RCA adapter

I'm using a new intel mac mini to replace a video player in our middle school production studio. the Mac mini is running Mac is Lion, and a software package called Playback Pro. the main monitor is using the mini display port, and I purchased an hdmi to the RCA cable (yellow, red, white) for the connection of the playback into the production switcher. I cannot get composite video to work vid the hdmi port, but a standard hdmi to hdmi connection to a flat screen LCD monitor works just fine. how can I get this cable to work without having to purchase a hdmi to composite box?

...I cannot get composite video to work vid the hdmi port,...how can I get this cable to work without having to purchase a hdmi to composite box?
Simple answer: you can't.
The "RCA connectors" are an analog signal, while HDMI is a digital signal. Some computers will make the same connectors do double duty. (e.g.: Most computer's DVI port has analog VGA signals.) But most HDMI ports do not have analog signals on them. the cable you purchased is likely for a specific model of computer, which does have an HDMI connector doing double-duty. So would only get composite video with that specific model of computer.
Even the mini-displayport on the Mini, which does provide an analog VGA signal, that is not directly compatible with analog composite video (or analog component video.)
So unfortunately, you need an adapter to get composite video from a Mac Mini, and not just a "simple cable."

I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.

HDMI to RCA

I know Apple TV 2nd gen only comes with an HDMI output. Are there any adapter cables that convert HDMI to the older 3-RCA TV cable hookups?

HDMI to 3 RCA refers to HDMI to Component RCA + L/R Audio (Yellow and Red-White). Btw, cables are not the best answers for HDMI to RCA transmissions in Apple Tv. This HDMI to Composite RCA Converter supposed to solve your problem: http://hdmitorcaconverter.com/hdmi-to-composite-s-video-converter-3-rca-crt-tv-c vbs/
If you need an HDMI to Component (Red-Green-Blue) RCA Converter, this one is rated as the best HDMI to Component RCA Converter by consumers: http://hdmitorcaconverter.com/2-input-hdmi-to-rgb-component-ypbpr-vga-2x1-switch -converter-with-5-1-surround-sound-support/

Can I use mini dp/HDMI/VGA same time?

hi ,I have a portege z10t, I want to connect the machine with 3 LG monitors, is it possible to plug the monitors to z10t's ports(mini dp/hdmi/vga)? some post says that you can only have one output between mini display port and HDMI, is this true ,thanks for you help

There's a number of videos on YouTube on how to do this. You will probably need a multi display adapter.

Lightning to HDMI followed by Startech HDMI to RCA Converter --- HDCP

Hello together,
I need to go from lightning output to rca input in order to be able to stream purchased itunes movies over this monitor.
My approach so far was to hook up 1) Lightining to HDMI adabter 2) HDMI cable 3) STARTECH HDMI to RCA converter 4) RCA cable
My question now is, if it would play HDCP protected movies this way?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Cheers

No.

HDCP Error with HDMI-VGA connections

We have been using Apple TV 3 Software Version 7.0.2(6915) for connecting the Apple TV to classroom projectors that have a VGA port in. This was working perfectly till last week, and it seems a new software update was pushed to the Apple TV device now we get "This Content Requires HDCP for playback". Tried multiple different options of soft and hard reboots, resets and restarts nothing helps. Connecting the same Apple TV using HDMI-HDMI cable works fine. We are using Kanex HDMI-VGA adapter. If someone has the same issue please write back since there have 26 Apple TVs in the school and is being actively used by instructors to project their work to the class.

As far as I know, 7.0.2(6915) is the latest software version & nothing new has been pushed out by Apple since its release months ago.
You problem is most likely exactly what the error message indicates: the content (for example commercial movies from a streaming service or an iTunes library) you are trying play on the ATV is protected by the HDCP encryption standard, so unless the Kanex adaptor supports HDCP internally, the ATV will not output the protected content to it.
I looked on the Kanex website to see if they claim the ATV Pro adaptor supports HDCP but nothing there says if it does or doesn't. Also, one of the U.S. Apple Store questions about the device has conflicting answers for that, so I suggest you contact Kanex directly for a more definitive answer & perhaps some help with the issue.
Failing that, you could try your setup with some content you know is not protected by HDCP (like a home movie in an iTunes library). If that works, then the problem almost certainly is that the Kanex doesn't support HDCP & you will not be able to use it with any content so protected.

HDMI to RCA converter for Audio only

I purchased an Apple TV for the airplay for audio only and adding an HDMI to RCA converter (universal unit from Amazon). Is there any specifications I need to look for on the converter for this to work? I am aware of issues when using the video portion of a converter, but I don't see anything for the audio.

maybe easier to find a optical -> RCA converter as the optical is audio only
though heard some people repport that if hdmi is not connected optical is muted but don't know for sure
if I may ask then why on eath get an appletv for audio only
an airport express would do the same thing and a minijack already and is cheaper

HDMI to RCA 5

hello,
I bought a " HDMI to RCA 5 " cable to display my G580 (20150) laptop on the TV, But whaen i connected it nothing happen at all
can any one help me with : 1- the color code (i have it white, green, blue, red, red)
2- how to make it work

your G580 HDMI doesn't support RCA directly. You need a converter box to do that, they retail for about 40 USD on ebay.

Apple TV Setup - HDMI to RCA jacks

I need some help setting up my Apple TV. I have a Apple TV Gen. 2 and a Emerson TV with RCA jacks. I have a HDMI to RCA cable. I connected the cables in every way I know how and no picture comes up. What am I doing wrong?

As HDMI is the only supported method there is no guarantee

What cables do I need to connect my 2013 macbook pro to my HD tv? I know I need mini display to HDMI, but male? female HDMI??? and also, do I need a separate cable for sound?

Actually you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter. It will carry both audio and video.
This one will work: Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
