HT5219 Thunderbolt ports and displays

I bought a TB screen and i am connecting it to My Macbook Pro 13'' & it's working perfectly, but i tried to connect my TV screen from the second TB port available in the TB screen through MiniDisplay-HDMI adaptor and isn't working, any clue?

I don't have a Thunderbolt machine but according to this article, Windows doesn't support Thunderbolt at all. That means Apple had to add Thunderbolt support in order for it to work even as it does. How would a Dell have solved your problem?

Can Adobe Premiere run on 2013 Mac Book Pro (thunderbolt port) and display on 2010 iMac (Mini DisplayPort) using TDM. TB cable Opt. F2 didn't work. Will a Mini Display cable work?

I need to work on Adobe Premiere on my 2013 Mac Book Pro (with thunderbolt port) and display it on my 2010 iMac (with Mini DisplayPort) using Target Display Mode (TDM). I tried using a thunderbolt cable plus Option F2, but it didn't work. Will a Mini Display cable work? Any other suggestions?

2010 iMacs do not have Thunderbolt, they have mini-display ports. You are using the wrong connection, you need a mini display port to mini display port. Please read up on what Apple says in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why won't the Thunderbolt port (Mini Display) on a 2011 MacBook Pro drive a DVI Display?

I'm trying to use a MonoPrice 5106 Mini Display to DVI adapter and a DVI cable to drive an Acer H233H 23" HD display. I'm driving it from the Thunderbolt Port (Mini Display) on a 2011 MacBook Pro. It doesn't work. I use a similar MonoPrice adapter (5311) to drive the HDMI input on this monitor from the Thunderbolt port and it works fine.
I can drive the DVI input on the Acer display from an older iMac using a MonoPrice 4851 Mini-DVI to DVI adapter and this same DVI cable and it works just fine.
So, why won't it work from the MacBook Pro? Do I need the much more expensive Monoprice 6904 dual link DVI adapter ($69)? Why isn't this mentioned in the MacBook Pro manual or on the MacBook Pro support page? MonoPrice says this 5106 adapter should work and if not to try the more expensive 6904 adapter. Need a better reason to buy the more expensive adapter.
Help please.
Thanks,
Vee

Just saw your question. Just like it's Apple counterpart, the 5106 is not capable of higher resolutions. You should, in theory, be able to drive your Acer display at lower resolutions with the 5106. And the 5106 may be sufficient for a 23" monitor . . . you'd need to check the maximum resolution for each.
But you definitely do need the 6904 for higher resolutions. That's what 30" monitors and other high-res displays require.

I have 2 iMacs, one has a thunderbolt port and the other has a mini display port. Would it be possible to use one as an extension of the other? If so what cable would I need.

Hi,
As the title of the thread says. I have an older iMac with a mini display port and a newer iMac with a thunderbolt port. Would it be possible so that the older iMac is an extension of my new iMac. The reason for this is because logic x can be a abit clustered on one screen.
Thanks

If you'll be using the 2010 iMac as the display, a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable.
It's not possible to use the 2011 iMac as the display through Target Display mode in that configuration.

Connect monitor w/ thunderbolt port and monitor w/ Firewire or ?

I have an iMac with a thunderbolt port. I was recently given a much older iMac with a port that looks like a fat "U" with a flat top, several USB pots, and 2 firewire ports. I would like to use the older Mac as a second monitor. I've searched and searched, but for the life of me, I can't find the combination of cables that will connect them.
This is what the old Mac looks like in the back.

Only the late model iMac's support > Target Display Mode or display input.
One option might be > ScreenRecycler

Thunderbolt port and magsafe

What does the thunderbolt port do and does the magsafe recharge ur mac?

The Thuderbolt port is a faster means of attaching peripherals...to date there are external monitors and some hard drives that use the Thunderbolt technology. Speed is faster than Firewire 800.
The MagSafe is a connector that attaches the charger to MacBooks for charging and use on AC power.

HT5219 thunderbolt, matrox, and esata drive conflicts

Hi I have a new 2012 imac 27" with two thunderbolt ports, I am using this for video editing, I also purchased the following devices:
1. matrox mini max .h264 I/O accelerator
2. laCie dual raid enclosure
3. sonnet echo pro to esata converter using the sonnet 6gb/s tempo express 34 card
all items are thunderbolt, I am on the latest 1.21 thunderbolt firmware, the latest matrox 3.11 firmware, the sonnet and lacie do not use any firmware.
Yesterday, I spent all day doing a complete wipe and reinstall of 10.7.4, I only installed Adobe Premiere Pro 6.01, with the associated apps. - encoder, bridge,
and prelude. I checked every library, system folder, extension, and preference and made sure nothing was in the system. System is 3.4ghz i7 imac 32gb of ram 1tb internal, 6790 graphics card with 2gb of vram.
I then loaded the latest matrox driver and restarted..
The issue at hand; I have recently in the last 7 days purchased all the items listed above to replace on of my two 2012 macbook pro 17" 2.4ghz laptops.
Using the matrox with one firewire drive was no problem, adding the echo pro with esata caused the matrox to crash, upon a restart of the computer with the two items installed via thunderbolt, premiere pro would crash on start up I could not start premiere pro without disconnecting the thunderbolt.
I also tested the same matrox with the lacie and tried using the dual port of the lacie thunderbolt to run the matrox, all tests resulted in either premiere pro crashing or the matrox not working. I even encountered an odd situation where the matrox would not power up. (I bought two matrox units) I was able to replicated the non powering up on both and thought both were damaged.
I did various tests over a two day period, using matrox and sonnet tech support, the only possible issue could have been my adobe creative suite version 5 and 6 being installed which is why I did the complete clean install.
I am 99% certain the issue is either the imac only has one bridge board and is split for looks, or the thunderbolt software has a major conflict with matrox's firmware. I was able to locate a certain bug with their software and the facetime camera which is now posted on their website..
I need an apple tech to tell me with certainty.
1 does the imac has two separate thunderbolt ports.
2 if each port allows 2 devices would that include items like the lacie having it's own 2 port setup.
3 would there be any chance the thunderbolt cables themselves need any kind of software updates
4. is there anything I can do to resolve this
Thanks David

How to decode a set of datas received from serial port and display image on a canvas based on CVI ?

Hi !
I have received a set of datas via rs232 and it contains picture messages. I have to decode the datas first and then display them on a canvas.
I have known several functions that may be used . Such as
int SetBitmapData (int bitmapID, int bytesPerRow, int pixelDepth, int colorTable[], unsigned char bits[], unsigned char mask[]);
int CanvasDrawBitmap (int panelHandle, int controlID, int bitmapID, Rect sourceRectangle, Rect destinationRectangle);
However,I don't know how to set the following parameters according to the actual pixel values and color values.
int bytesPerRow, int pixelDepth, int colorTable[], unsigned char bits[], unsigned char mask[]
What's more,I have no idea how to decode the datas.
The attachment is a incomplete project. I will be very appreciated if anyone could help me .
Best regards.
xiepei
I wouldn't care success or failure,for I will only struggle ahead as long as I have been destined to the distance.

Decode and display image.zip ‏212 KB

Well, things are getting a bit clearer now.
1. Your image is actually 240x240 pixel (not 320x240 as you told before). The size of image data is 57600 bytes which corresponds to that frmat (I was puzzled by such a data size compared with larger image dimensions!)
2. The image is a 8-bits-per-pixel one; this means that you must provide a color palette to create the bitmap
3. You cannot simply copy image data into bitmap fields in CVI: CreateBitmap always produce an image with pixeldepth matched with display colour depth (normally 24 or 32 bpp)
All that means that you must:
1. Create the appropriate color palette with 256 colors: it may be a grayscale or color palette depending on camera characteristics. Grayscale palette can be found in my sample project, while sample colour palettes can be found here (here the description of a "standard" 8-bpp color palette)
2. Create the bits array correctly dimensioned for the color depth of your monitor
3. Get each pixel value from the camera, lookup in the color palette for the appropriate colour and create the RGB informations into the bits array in memory
4. Display the bitmap on the canvas
As a first step, I would configure my system for 256-color display setting, create a bitmap and simply copy image data into it: you should be able to get the correct image back to your screen.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

HT5219 Thunderbolt port devices and ethernet cables doesn't work under Windows 7 or 8 via Boot Camp unless I restart my computer... how are the apple developers so dump to not realize this mistake

How can you not resolve a problem so essentail related to swapping thunderbolt devices when running bootcamp? Everytime I diconnect a thunderbolt device, I have to restart in bootcamp for the mackbook pro to recognize it. Considering that I apid ~$3K for this laptop when I could have got a dell for half the price, it such a poor technology. How can apple developers be so dump that they didn't design a drive to resolve the issue... and to make it even more dumber, they acknowledge it ... hello any one with brains after steve jobbs passed away there!!!

Connecting Cinema Display with mini display port to macbook pro with thunderbolt port

I am trying to connect a 27" cinema display (2010) that has a mini display port cable out of the back, into my macbook pro (2013) with thunderbolt ports. The mini display port cord fits into the thunderbolt port on the Macbook Pro, however the macbook pro does not detect the cinema display and the cinema display does not have any picture on the screen. The USB plugs in fine and sound comes out, and I have the adapter for the magsafe to magsafe 2 and that works fine, it just the actual display. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello mmholt,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there’s no video on an Apple Cinema Display that’s connected to your MacBook Pro, and you’re wondering if the configuration is supported. It is supported, take a look at the article linked below for more information.
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ) - Apple Support
1. Can I connect a Mini DisplayPort monitor or monitor using a Mini DisplayPort adapter to a Thunderbolt port on my Thunderbolt-equipped Mac?
Yes. A Mini DisplayPort display or a display connecting with a Mini DisplayPort to VGA, DVI, or HDMI adapter will work just like it was connecting to a Mini DisplayPort connector when plugging in directly to the Thunderbolt connector on your Apple computer. Click here for more information on Mini DisplayPort connections and adapters.
Also, this article provides a lot of great information and troubleshooting tips that will resolve most issues related to video external displays.

How to connect two DVI screens to Thunderbolt Display's Thunderbolt Port?

Hi everyone,
I have a new MBP and an external Thunderbolt Display. The Thunderbolt Display itself has a Thunderbolt port, and I was wondering if there is anyway to connect to DVI screens to that. My goal is to have the Thunderbolt Display and 2 x 24" Samsung DVI screens connected to my MBP.
Alternatively, has anyone had success using a third party device like the Matrox 2 go to drive multiple monitors from the usb port?
Thanks,
Dave.

You could try a TB>DVI adapter (here's one from Monoprice) but I don't know that it will work - I'm thinking that you could have at least one of your Samsung displays use it. You may also want to see if you can find a HDMI>DVI adapter for your second Samsung display - something like this?
I know that I've seen three monitor set-ups on YouTube - but I'm not sure what was connected to what. Easy enough to daisy-chain ATDs but it gets a bit tougher when utilizing HDMI ports, etc., and I'm not sure about the GPUs ability to drive all three displays.
Oops - sorry - strike that second paragraph - I thought that you were running a Retina display MBP...

Mini Display port DVI adapter not working on Thunderbolt Port

For some time I've been using a mini display port to DVI adapter on an slightly older MBP to connect to my HD TV. I recently purchased a MBP with a Thunderbolt port and when I try to connect it to my TV via my mini-display-port-DVI adapter things are not working properly. The MBP is seeing the Philips TV but it isn't listing all the display modes and I'm not able to send any video to it. Does the Thunderbolt port require a new display port to DVI adapter?

Let me be clearer; I've got the MDP-DVI adapter connected to a cable that is DVI on one end and HDMI on the other. I've got both laptops so I can compare side by side. I plug in the MDP-DVI adapter to the old laptop and all works well; I plug it into the new laptop and while the laptop does see the TV, the display modes for it are all 1080p which is wrong I don't see any desktop image on the TV unlike when I plug it into the older laptop. This is very disappointing as I expect things to just work with Apple products.

How can I do a separate video in and out on my 21.5" iMac, and only have 1 thunderbolt port?

The set up that I have is one 21.5" iMac using the thunderbolt port I am sending a feed to a projector and a couple monitors for our worship service (To display the lyrics). Now I am ready for video broadcasting online, I have a camcorder connected to a Blackmagic Design Intensity Extreme which has a thunderbolt port to connect to my iMac. But I have a problem, the 21.5" iMac only has one thunderbolt port and it's already in use (For the worship service lyrics). Is there any way to receive the HD video feed from the camcorder/Blackmagic set up into the FireWire port? Or use the thunderbolt for the camcorder set up and use the FireWire port to send the video feed for the worship service?

Hello all those who took the time to help me with my problem. Thank you all. Yes I do have the option of sending it back to my camera I have found again since I went into iMovie.
My problem was I did the slide show in Iphoto because I wanted to use the Burns effect and the only option was to put it into iDVD (not iMovie) from there.
By putting the shots in iMovie I can send it back to my camera BUT cannot use the Burns effect so I am left with the black side on each side of the picture in the postcard. Guess you can't have everything.
THanks again you have all been very patient and helpful.
Stella
P.S.
re: It's in iMovie HD 7 that the Share menu appeared. .......No, it's in 6.0.3 on mine but only in iMovie not in the iDVD where I was trying to work.
