In need of an hdmi input for ustream on my iMac

Hi,
I have a 2010 27" imac as well as a 2009 mbp. I use them to stream live feeds of our church service to ustream via firewire and HD video cam. We no longer have that camera and were looking at replacements. All newer HD video cams send the feed via hdmi instead of firewire. What can I get to connect my hdmi cam to my macs? Any help would be great.
Thanks

Can anyone shed some light on this, there has to be something that works :S

I need a replace glass panel for my 2008 20" iMac. Any ideas where i can obtain one?
Any suggestions would be welcome.

As an aside note
Bendz2012,
Have you noticed that your iMac's screen is less glossy than normal?
Do you prefer this over having an additional panel of glass making your display overly and unnecessarily glossy?
It may not look as pretty, but I'll bet your screen looks better and sharper and you may be getting a benefit of added heat dissipation. Also, not to mention, less eye strain and/or headaches
You will just have to be a little more careful with the iMac's real TFT screen if you choose this option.
A little more careful cleaning it and making sure no liquids get inside.
It's up to you what you want to do.
You can order the panel, anyway, but choose not to replace it until you sell it or have to bring in for repairs.
Good Luck!

IMAC Displayport HDMI INPUT for Wii, PS3, XBOX360 etc

The iMAC supports to use its 27" monitor as an external monitor for other devices through its Mini Displayport that supports both output AND input.
There are many HDMI adapters for the Mini Display adapter but I want to know if a special adapter is required for input and what are the specifications/standards/name for the adapters, contacts and cables that are required?
Specifically I am going to use the 27" display for gaming consoles mentioned above (Wii with the Wii2HDMI adapter).
What do I need to know to write down on my shopping list? Thanks!

At this point I think that you are all wishing & hoping, but are perhaps operating on hype. Yes the 27" iMac is the first iMac with a video import. It has a bi-directional mini-DisplayPort. Various models of Macs have had mini-DisplayPorts for video output since 2008. It is not a new port on Macs.
There are a number of adapters for this port, some made by Apple, some made by a number of 3rd party Mac accessory manufacturers. Currently you can buy the following adapters; mini-DisplayPort to DVI (D), mini-DisplayPort to VGA, mini-DisplayPort to Dual-link DVI (D), and mini-DisplayPort to HDMI. There is also a mini-DisplayPort to mini-DisplayPort cable. The other thing to remember is that the mini-DisplayPort does not carry audio.
However, if you go to the Apple iMac webpages you will find that Apple is very specific about how you can use the mini-DisplayPort at this time. This is what it says;
Mini DisplayPort.
The Mini DisplayPort lets you connect an external display, including the Apple LED Cinema Display, to your iMac. On the 27-inch iMac, the same port offers input, too. So you can connect any external source that has DisplayPort output — including a MacBook or MacBook Pro — and use your iMac as a display. (emphasis mine)
So Apple is saying that currently you can use the 27" iMac as a display for devices with mini-DisplayPort output, such as another Mac, like one of the notebooks. Meaning that you can use the 27" as an external monitor for a MacBook Pro with a mini-DisplayPort to mini-DisplayPort cable.
Anything that you have read at outside websites with reviews about the new iMac and hooking up a Wii, a PlayStation, a Blu-Ray DVD, etc is pure speculation at this point and there is no guarantee that patching mini-DisplayPort adapters to other technology standard cables, such as DVI or HDMI, will provide the proper input to use the 27" as a display.

No HDMI input for HD-TV; component video doesn't give picture

I just swapped an HD DVR STB, which was connected via component video, for an HD STB. There is no HDMI input on my HD ready TV, so I connected the STB to the TV via the same cables as the tech did when he came out (i.e., I used the component video and component audio connections). I get sound, but no video.
I tried the other connections: S-video gives me a black and white picture,
and the standard coax cable gives me regular video + audio.
I would prefer to use the component video, though. Is this a widespread problem? Is there a solution?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'd connect it using the component cables, and then contact tech support and see if they can do a factory reset on the STB. If that fails, they will likely replace it.

EDID file for SONY KDL40-XBR2 with HDMI input (for W510)

Hello community,
Please does anybody has a configured EDID monitor file for a SONY KDL40-XBR2 LCD TV? I'm using the HDMI input with a DisplayPort - HDMI cable and the image is awful. The monitor driver in Windows 7 is "Generic PnP Monitor" and it's pretty old. The problem is the text: fonts are pretty ugly...
I would like to over ride the settings using the NVidia control panel but don't have a valid EDID file configured for HDMI input.
I use right now the VGA port on my SONY KDL40-XBR2 and the image quality is better and the fonts are fine.
Can someone please provide a hint here?

Of course, SONY is not providing generic INF monitor files for their line of LCDTV's... no wonder they are going down!

HDMI input for imac or mac book pro?

Can anyone suggest a product for inputing hdmi?

iMac? No way, José.
MacBook Pro? Only if you get one with an Express34 slot. Then the Matrox MXO2 Mini will work.

Apple tv asks me for my password for iTunes which I enter. it then asks for a password for the password! help.....also, do I need a special HDMI cable for Apple TV?

maybe I am getting mixed up - probably should be entering Apple ID first - then password. funny thing is that I had iTunes home sharing running on TV yesterday!

You enter the Apple ID first. No special HDMI cable, any will do.

No video input for external devices on iMac 24" display???

I got a 24" iMac a few days ago and love this thing. (Was in PC **** for last 30 years...) But one thing I am disappointed in is that there appears to be no video input to display video or to video capture. Is the only way to display video from an outside source by using a USB video capture device? For example, if I have a cable box or game console I want to display on the monitor, how can I do that? Seems silly to need to use a capture device to simply display video. Please let me know if there is simple way to do this. Thanks!

I don't see how using a camcorder would help especially although it would be technically possible to use it as a bridge between other devices I can't see how it would be worth your while.
Obviously not speaking from experience since almost all if not all DV cameras have passthrough, and feed video into a mac via firewire from the analog audio and video input port on the DV camera. They have been used for ages as decks (and are many times cheaper than DV decks) and as converters vs. buying a Canopus box etc., which are basically the same thing.
The EYE TV 250 does the same thing with a USB connection and its own software but for the myriad of DV cam owners the passthrough is a fine idea.

Sony KDL52V5100 and HDMI inputs

I purchased a Sony KDL52V5100 from Best Buy in July, 2009. Nice television. I have a Dishnetwork 922 DVR/Receiver as well a Klipsch theatre system attached to the HDMI inputs. Suddenly, this weekend, the television would not pick up a signal from the Dishnetwork receiver, message saying "no signal". I changed the HDMI cable, purchased a new one, moved it to all of the other HDMI inputs, (#2, 3, & 4), brought out the other Sony tv and hooked up both HDMI cables, again with no signal. We were able to watch movies on the Klipsch DVD/Theatre system. Dishnetwork sent a repairman out, thinking it had to be in the Dishreceiver. He moves the HDMI cable from HDMI #1 input to #2, and walla, a picture. Unbelievable. Now, no picture with the Klipsch DVD/Theatre, only sound and a green screen. Could this problem be all in the HDMI inputs on the tv? The #1 input, which had the Dishnetwork receiver originally in it, does appear slightly loose, but not enough that the cable will not stay in it. And why now the problem with the HDMI input for the DVD/Theatre? Any ideas? Anyone else have this kind of problem? Is this a Sony TV problem with the HDMI inputs, or the cables, which we've changed once already with new ones.

Problem solved! With the Klipsch DVD/Theatre system, if you are using a HDMI cable, you must also attach the video in/video out cables. Beautiful picture now and terrific sound.

I have a western digital external hard drive that needs to be re formatted for use on my but iMac but I do not want to lose existing data

I have a Western Digital external hard drive that needs to be re formatted for use on my iMac, but I do not want to lose existing data, is this possible ?

Formatting a disk always erases all the data on it. Your only option is to back it up elsewhere and restore it once formatted.

What cable do i need to connect my macbook pro to the hdmi input on my tv?.

what cable do i need to connect my macbook pro to the hdmi input on my tv?.

hi Sam
It's actally an HDMI adapter that Apple sells.
You hook the small adapter up to your MBP and then HDMI cable to your TV. Please note adapter is for HDMI compliant for HDMI rev 1.3 and above:
My TV, which has DVI port also, besides HDMI gets its best resolution by DVI of which also sell at Apple store for the MBP.
Bottom line is check w/ your TV manufacture to be sure your flat screen supports 1920 X 1200.
Let 'er rip and...
cheers

My Blu-Ray player has a USB input but it doesn't have an HDMI input. Can I connect my Apple TV to the Blu-Ray using an HDMI/ USB adapter? It would allow me to run the audio through my stereo. Thanks to all for your help.

If you can find such a thing. I really doubt that exists since USB is a data connector not a video connector.

That would depend on this adapter.

Help needed in mapping BI query output to use as input for BAPI

Hi,
After wrestling with it for quite some time I choose to ask yet another question here. I want to use the output of a BI query I use as input for a BAPI. I just can not get the mapping correctly:
The query delivers: 104908BA092F7501F5E1008000829000AC
I need: 104908BA092F7501F5E1008000829000AC
How can I lose the two first digits? Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Jan

Nevermind. I found out myself. I am now using the statement MID(@GUID,2,32) in the connection.

Mini DisplayPort for HDMI input?

Hello!
I'd like to connect my hd camcorder via HMDI adaptor to my 13" MacBook Pro (previous version). But I'm not sure if it's actually possible to use the Mini DisplayPort for HDMI input - could anyone tell me?
Thanks!
amlug

I suspected it. Unfortunatly my camcorder doesn't have Firewire but I'll try with USB. (My idea was to use the MacBook for preview during the shots.)
Thank you!
