Is there a MAC Book to Component video adapter

I have a club customer who wants to play music videos off of the DJ's MAC. There will be different MAC's coming in. Is there a MAC to component adapter available?

The matrox MXO2 is likely what you are referring to. It would be an extremely useful i/o device for you if the price is acceptable. It will have good resale value for a few years too if you ever wanted to get rid of it. With your camera's chip set and resolution of 850 lines you can capture via component to 4:2:2 color space by editing in a codec like DVCPRO 50 which is very efficient and looks great too. It is a big step above anything dv related which is 4:1:1 color space. If you ever drop your video signal down to dv quality you will take a big hit picture quality wise. Another device is the original AJA IO which connects via firewire and gives you component i/o as well as s-video, composite and digital component as well. The AJA IO's are selling on ebay for $600.00 - $750.00. They were around $2500.00 originally. You could also use an AJA LA which is basically the analog side of the IO and they are a little cheaper. Blackmagic multibridge is another product that is similar. These are all pro level equipment. You will need FCP.

Mini dvi to Component Video adapter !

Help !
Where Can I Find "mini dvi to Component Video adapter" ?
Help !

"there is no such thing in apple store"
I MAID,
Begging your pardon, but I just tried the above linked Search Results, and what you seek is apparently on the list, as the search was performed exactly as you specified. You can read the description of the various items for sale and tell us what is different about the one that you need. That way we can perform a new search for you, or, in the alternative, you can search for yourself. If the Apple Store doesn't have what you want, search CompUSA.

New imac to tv help: mDVI to DVI cable, DVI to component video adapter?

I am getting my new imac tomorrow, very excited. I would love to be able to hook it up to my HD tv which has component video inputs.
It has two by the way, one says component video, one says component video HD. (that's the one my xbox is hooked up to.)
I think I'm getting like 1020p or something like that?
am aware of the lack of sound, but will have the imac hooked up to speakers so no worries on that.
will this chain work? mDVI-DVI cable, DVI to component video adapter? then what? component video cable to tv?
so I will need to buy two adapters and one cable right? Also, the cable is gonna need to be about 30ft long so will I be able to daisy chain cables?
PS, what kind of resolution will I be getting with the standard (none component HD) inputs?
thanks for the help. The info on the mac sight about adapters in not very specific to this hodge podge.

ATI dvi to component video adapter?

I have an older HDTV that only has component video inputs (for HD signals anyway). The macbook pro has an ATI graphics processor, so I took a chance and ordered the ATI dvi to component video adapter:

I know it doesn't work with the old ati single-link dvi macs, has anyone tried it with the new x1600 based macs?

I have the same problem. I have found out that RGB output from computers is actually RGBHV, which includes vertical and horizontal sync signals. Therefore conversion from Macbook Pro DVI or RGB to plasma component (YPrPb) requires more than just a simple converter like ATI DVI to Component video adaptor, unless Apple can output component video from the video card (that's theoretically possible, but it depends on how Apple integrated the chipset into the motherboard, according to ATI).
The alternative is to use a processor to convert the signal. Key Digital produce a signal transcoder, KT-VTCA3. http://www.keydigital.com/ProductDetail.aspx?categorycode=500&itemno=KDVTCA3&pro ductname=Video%20and%20Control%20Adapters. I have ordered one of these and believe it will work, in lieu of Apple providing a means for outputting component video directly from the Macbook Pro.
This is also available from a seller in UK over ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Key-Digital-ClearColor3-VGA-To-Component-TRANSCODER_W0QQit emZ9700214677QQcategoryZ22610QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem.

Mac book pro 15' video card on fault

i have my mac book pro 15" May 2011, i was working on it on friday but when i start the pro on Monday morning and the video was fail to show the apple window only blue screen, when i send it to apple autherize work shop and the technical adviser claim that the video was on fault, for that they have to change the whole mother board, the cost of repair quoted to me at $1022.
i was so angry, why the apple product now a day was so not reliable, i have total of 3 mac book pro. 2x13" for my kid and 15" for myself, some time last yaer my kid's 13" mac book pro also having same problem and have the mother board change but was lucky when her's with in wanranty.
can any one help, is there any way to make apple have the repair done in no cost or lower.

It's a little late in the game, but I always purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan which extends your warranty from one year to three years whenever I buy an Apple product.
If you're out of warranty, you should just expect to pay for any hardware repairs.
That's just the way it is... other companies operate the same.

Mac Book Pro to video projector

How can I connect my mac book pro to a video projector?

Without knowing what kind of video projector or which MacBook Pro, it's difficult to answer. But, if you have a recent MBP, you need a MiniDisplayPort to DVI or VGA adapter, depending on what your video projector accepts. You can pick them up from the Apple Store either online or in person.

Is there a way of recording component video output to a MacBook Pro

Is there a COMPONENT video OUT solution for the iBook?

I am currently using Apple's Video Adapter (mini-VGA to S-Video) to hook up to my widescreen. Let's face it, S-Video *****. I am trying to find a solution that would allow me to get component video out of my iBook and run that into my widescreen.
Is there a VGA->Component Video Adapter available that would work with the mini-VGA -> VGA adapter that ships with the iBook? (Or some other way to get a component video signal?)
Thanks!

Hi Mactivist,
i am not an expert on this video stuff but I think
you might find this useful. Although the
procedure described is about a Mac Mini (which has a
dvi connector) the guy actually used a DVI-VGA
adapter. Therefore, I believe, the set-up described
should work for you too.
-Petra
Unfortunately, iBooks do not have DVI out. What I really need is a VGA to Component video adapter.
And for the person who wasn't sure what a component video cable looks like, this is a cable that has 3 rca-like plugs on it, each one supplies a different color (RGB I think).
So far, I've not found a VGA adapter that can do this unless you are using an ATI video card as the source.

You can use iCloud to lock it if you had that set up. Otherwise, the only thing to do is report the theft to the police. You may want to contact your homeowner's insurance to see if it would be worth filing a claim with them also.

Component Video/Stereo Audio

Is there any way to get component video and analog stereo out of the new AppleTV with a apple converter? Need this to go into an existing 16x16 component matrix switcher.

The problem you will encounter doing this is that component doesn't carry HDCP, and therefore any HDCP content will not play on your Apple tv.
Not quite true, Winston. Check out the HDFury line of products. Their units include HDCP support. However, like most other such devices, the HDFury units do not include scaling capabilities. Therefore, you must be sure that the device to which you wish to connect it supports the TV2's 720p output as an input option. (E.g., my old Philips HD ready TV only supported 480p and 1080i but not 720p video.) Also of interest is the fact that some of these units also support HDMI to stereo/digital 5.1 audio via an analog/digital combo 3.5 mm cable.
In any event, I'm presenting the March SJAUG TV2 demonstration for our user group and just purchased the HDFury3 "Advanced Kit" in order to capture TV2 firmware menu images for inclusion in my resource presentation. It worked great! Both the HDFury2 and HDFury3 have switchable Component/RGBHV output options depending on your needs and connector adapter you use. Unfortunately, owing to the popularity of this device and sales demands here in the US, I had to order my kit from the Taiwan manufacturer.

Any more problems with mac book pros with beeps

are there any mac book pros with beeps lately...has apple fixed the problem?

They have not released a fix, and the Macbook Pros received just 3 days ago have the beeps too.

White Macbook (Early 2009) Why mini-DVI to S-video adapter no longer works?

I am a lifelong Mac user and by now think I pretty well know the ins and outs of Macs and most Mac-related issues... but this one has stumped me.
The new white Macbook was upgraded to include many of the components of its big brother unibody Aluminum Macbooks (including 1066 MHz frontside bus and the NVIDIA 9400M) just over a week ago. I was lucky enough to be in the market for a new laptop about this time and snatched one up a few days ago (retiring my awesome 12" Aluminum PowerBook G4 which is still kicking).
One of the main reasons I upgraded was to be able to use Silverlight 2.0 (d--- Microsoft) as I can't watch streaming lectures from school without it. A nice bonus would be the ability to stream Netflix videos to my TV through my laptop which I've wanted to do for a while. Anyone who has bought one of these new Macbooks and uses their laptop with their TV as much as I do has probably read one of these two links:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3413
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9319G/A?mco=MzE2OTkzMA
Note the asterisk at the Apple store: "* This adapter is not compatible with the 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo white MacBook introduced in January 2009."
Can someone tell me why this is? I've been using the s-video out of my Apple laptops for the past 6 years... why change it now? Is this a temporary problem or permanent change?
I have been fervently searching for a work-around but no blogs, forums, or boards have given me any answers. One tech blogger at http://createdigitalmotion.com/2009/01/22/white-macbook-snubs-adapter-i-want-my- tv-out/ speculates that Apple is cracking down on DRM video being watched on TV's... but that makes no sense, any new TV can use the DVI output still supported by this computer.
Dear Apple: PLEASE give me my TV back!!! I want to watch Netflix and use that cool Front Row feature you put in your system!

Thank you for your helpful and detailed response, Ziatron. I am aware Apple is unlikely to peruse my forum post, I was just crying out in anguish at the gods that be, so to speak.
Everything you wrote is consistent with what I have read in other places, thanks for consolidating it here. I am not as proficient in display technologies as I am in other areas so let me see If I am understanding you correctly. Apple has licensed HDCP technology and is employing it across its desktop and laptop lineups. The new white MacBook was the last of the MacBook lineup to be upgraded to include this new technology and as it still retains the older Mini-DVI out rather than the new Mini-Displayport Apple had to "flip the switch" and turn off the MacBook's ability to put out video through the old adapter. I notice that there is no Mini-Displayport to video adapter available in their store. Am I good so far?
So I am left to assume that they turned off the capability of outputing to s-video because that output cannot be managed by the new HDCP technology, correct? If so, I suppose I understand but am still frustrated as it seems they are prevent the growth of a few weeds (illegal content) by burning the whole lawn (preventing many such as me from using the output I love). Thanks for your help again.

Apple PAL DVI to Video Adapter...

saw this in the uk store...
Apple PAL DVI to Video Adapter
i've just bought a MacBook 13", and wanna make use of front row.
theres no " PAL mini-DVI to Video Adapter " listed, will the other
ones work on a philips pal TV
cheers

Hopefully someone with direct experience will answer your question. In the mean time, I think the way this works is that the standard adapter will enable and allow you to select both NTSC and PAL timings, but it will default to NTSC as a starting point. That could be a problem if your TV won't run from NTSC because your screen will be scrambled and probably not legible enough for you to switch to a PAL timing. So that's what I think happens but, again, I hope someone else will answer this for you.

How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
Thanx

I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
thanx
