Limited 1080p output to HDTV

Where do i start...
I can output 1080p at what appears to be 24 hz, I get slightly lagged playback of videos and jerky mouse movements on the TV (as expected I think at this setting).

When I try to output 1080p at either 50 Hz (PAL) or 60 Hz (NTSC), from the options above (IMG), I get no picture at all on the TV.
Other Points to note:
I can output 1080i fine.
I am attempting to do this with mirroring off, and 1:1 pixel mapping on the TV.
I currently have problems trying to output video at all with the lid shut, Ill try again tomorrow when I get a friends external keyboard.

Thanks for the reply again BSteely, this is the Export using the 3rd party mini DP adapter, as the apple mini DP adapter does not show/recognise the monitor in the the system preferences.

1080i sony hdtv works ok with blueray 1080p output dvd?

I am ready to consider buying a blueray dvd player but do not know if the Sony SXRD tv (1080i) will work as it should with blueray dvd's(1080p)output. Will someone advise me please?

Hey,
I like that you’re asking questions before jumping into a purchase. I also find out if what I am about to buy will meet my needs before making a purchase. For a TV to be able to work with a Blu-ray player, the TV has to accept a 1080p input. To find out if your specific model TV accepts a 1080p signal you could contact Sony at www.sonystyle.com or you could call Sony at 1-800-222-7669. Keep in mind that even if your TV does accept a 1080p signal, it will only be displayed at 1080i, and the only way to take full advantage of a Blu-ray player is to have a TV capable of 1080p resolution. I hope this information helps with your purchase.
Thanks,
Allan

Can't get 1080p output to TV in windows 7 under bootcamp

I have no problems using my 40in Samsung LN610 1080p TV as extension of my Snow Leopard desktop (though it was rather tricky to get it running). However, I can NOT get 1080p output in windows 7 under bootcamp.
In detail, when I use TV as an extension of the desktop, TV shows no HDMI signal coming in if I try to use 1080p or 1080i output (using NVIDIA panel or standard win7 properties panel). However, when I drop the output to 720p then the signal gets through and TV displays 720p just fine.
I hope I explained it clearly engough. Please let me know if you are having the same trouble or if you know of a solution. I'm using the latest bootcamp drivers.
I have Macbook Pro 13in 2.53GHz, 9400m, 4GIG RAM, mid 2009 unibody model.

This problem is not a problem with Windows or Apple. It has to do with when the updates are applied to Windows boot camp. The way to fix this is as follows. First click on the bluetooth icon from the Windows start page. Then click show bluetooth items. From this window click add a new device. When the device appears double click on the icon for the device. A window should appear that at the top says general and other. Click on the other tab and another window comes up with a small box in it. Check the box and Windows will search and install the exact, correct drivers for the device. Now the device will pair and work fine.

Can't get a 1080p output on Sony 55A2000

Hello everyone.
I've connected a Sony 55A2000 display (1080p supported) to my MBP (MiniDP → DVI → HDMI), but i can't set the 1080p resolution, only the interlaced one. Only "P" allowed is 720 %(
I've tried both 9400 and 9600 graphics. Are the new MBPs capable of 1080p output?

Hi patriciaanne3
You might like to look at this press release from Nokia a couple of days ago: http://www.nokia.com/A4136001?newsid=1140680
In version 12.0.013 you have an added feature in the menu with Network connection, internal GPS and external GPS, there is a fourth category A-GPS = Assisted GPS.
This enables N95 with internal GPS to establish position indoors, which is not currently the situation in earlier software versions.
"Assisted GPS, or A-GPS, is a technology that uses an assistance server to cut down the time needed to determine a location using GPS" You are using the power of a mainframe computer to cut down the number crunching needed to process position of four satellites needed for three dimensional position for first fix (TTFF= Time to First Fix) As mentioned in Nokia press release there is also scope for network provider to use mast location as adjunct to speed this process.
If you are near a WLAN of course this can provide network connection for assistance server or you can use GPRS as appropriate.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

No 1080p output from ATV3

I have my ATV3 connected to my 1080p projector through a DVDO iScan VP-30 and the ATV3 will only output in 720P mode and doesn't even list 1080P in the choice of output resoluions. Does anyone have any ideas on this issue?
My projector is a Marantz VP-11S2 and supports 1080p

I have tried this and I get an "out of range" message from the projector.
All my video settings are set to Auto on all devices.
The troubleshooting for the projector suggests changing the output resolution V (Hz) and/or refresh rate of the device.
I occasionally get a flash of the ATV3 home screen but then it goes away again.
The 1080p output from all my other players work fine when connected directly.

24" iMac (Late 2006) Cannot Display 1080p on External HDTV

Hello,
I've been trying to figure out if it's possible to connect my Samsung LN40A550 40" TV (http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=televisions&type=telev isions&subtype=lcdtv&model_cd=LN40A550P3FXZA) to my Late 2006 24" iMac at 1080p resolution. Currently, I'm using Extended Desktop mode with my iMac running 1920x1200 but the Display settings only lets me change the resolution on the TV to a maximum of 1080i. I've connected the TV to my iMac with a miniDVI-to-DVI adapter and then a DVI-to-HDMI cable.
Here are my iMac's tech specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP28
Here is a KB article about the iMac's external display port: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23844?viewlocale=en_US
Neither of these articles has said explicitly whether or not it is possible for me to output 1080p to my TV from my iMac. Do I need to use different cabling? I've tried reducing the resolution of the iMac to see if it was a video card restriction, but I still could not increase the TV's resolution.
I did notice that the newer iMac's specs say that they can output at 1080p: http://www.apple.com/imac/specs/
Perhaps my iMac just doesn't support external resolutions that high? So I looked up the video card (NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT - http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_7300.html) and it does not appear to say whether or not it can handle two displays at 1920x1200. Under the "Advanced Display Functionality" heading it says:
* Dual integrated 400MHz RAMDACs for analog display resolutions up to and including 2048x1536 at 85Hz
* Dual-link DVI capability to drive the industry's largest and highest resolution digital flat panel displays up to 2560x16001
* Integrated HDTV encoder provides analog TV-output (Component/Composite/S-Video) up to 1080i resolution
Any help figuring out how to connect my TV to my iMac at 1080p would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
-Aaron

hey there cooperaa & welcome to Discussions.
i didn't see anything in the fullspecs that said your TV does 1080p, just that it does 1920x1080. also, since 1080p was a fairly new "standard" for video(Blu-ray/HD-DVD) when your Mac was built, a 1920x1080 progressive output was possibly not included. i have an early 2006 17" iMac connected to my 42" HDTV over DVI>HDMI & i can get 1920x1080i, which is the highest rez my TV will accept & i use this iMac as my DVD player(along w/ an optical cable for audio) & have not noticed anything "ugly" w/ the picture as i have de-interlace selected on the DVD player(a standard DVD is 720x480). since Apple doesn't include a Blu-ray player/recorder in any of their machines what will you watch that will be in 1080p? generally if your TV does the higher rez, it will scale the rez to fit your settings--ie. a 1920x1080i broadcast on a 1280x720p TV will scale down to the TV's native rez as well a 1280x720p broadcast will be scaled up to 1920x1080i if that's the native rez.
good luck.

2010 Mac Mini HDMI 1080p output to Samsung B750

Hi all,
I just got the new Mac Mini. My primary reason for getting it was because it had an HDMI output. I've now hooked it up to my Samsung LCD via HDMI to HDMI and it automatically detected it as 1080p. The image was pristine!
However, the issue I am experiencing is quite irksome and basically defeats the purpose of having it as a HTPC. There is a severe delay between the movement of my mouse and the actual display of it on the screen. There is also audio/video syncing problems.
This problem does not occur when I have it hooked up to my original monitor via miniDP, so I'm assuming it must be a TV or Mac display issue when outputting at 1080p. Is there a specific setting that I must do to either the Mac or the TV?

I just bought a mac mini(2010) and had the same issue as coaster - mini to samsung P2270HD via HDMI gives a very bad picture quality. Took the mini back to the store and they reproduced the problem on the same monitor. Then the guy took a dvi cable and via HDMI-DVI adaptor connected it to the same monitor but on DVI input. Picture quality was fantastic.
Now why did that happen? Same HDMI port but different input to Monitor

Viewing FCP output on HDTV-Suggestions Please?

Hey All
I have FCP 6.0.6 and Ive been trying to view the output on an HDTV with a Canopus AVAC-100
(yeah its older) I can see it -but it wont play --I have All frames checked and the footage is a
SD output. The video is just froze on the TV.
Am I missing something? Is there something I have to fix in FCP or just breakdown and buy a new
Matrox MXO2 Mini ??
Matt

Your Canopus device does not work with HDV.
To monitor HDV in native form, you need a different device to convert the signal from the computer to the monitor.
If you have a MacPro, the least expensive card solution is the BlackMagic Intensity. More expensive are cards from AJA (the Kona Series) and BlackMagic (Decklink)
The Matrox MX02 can be used as long as you have a spare slot for the connection card (can be a MacPro PCIe or a MacBookPro Expresscard34)
The Matrox MXO is connected via a DVI port to drive a second monitor (as long as the monitor is a 23" ACD or 24" Dell).
If you don't want to purchase any devices, FCP6 and up has a setting that will downconvert the HDV timeline to DV for output via firewire. This doesn't show you a very accurate image.

MacPro, BlackMagic Intensity Pro video card and output to HDTV

Hello folks,
I purchased an Intensity Pro card a little while back, but haven't actually gotten to use it. I captured most of my video material through firewire. I have a MacPro and I'd like to view photos from iPhoto, renders of my 3D work and possibly stream Netflix to my HDTV. Both of my DVI outputs from my ATI Radeon card feed my two desktop cinema Displays, leaving the DVI output from the Intensity Pro card open. Before I go an buy a DVI to HDMI adapter from Apple I want to know if the Intensity Pro DVI port only works if I'm in editing mode with Final Cut or Adobe Premiere or will it output anything at anytime as it it was just another graphics card?
Thanks so much for any help,
Brian

hi,
ihave bought it and am using it with my quadcore g5 2.5 ..
for now i switched back to canopus because its much more stable and not
"touchy" when i jump around in the timeline...
but this may have a lot of other reasons ..
with finalcut its very nice ans stable, i think the drivers have been written
to be compatible with fcp rather than logic.
I wantd to have the picture for an HD Movie in Llogic but now i prfe to have
stability,
bets regards,
andy

1080p output possible from iDVD?

I want to get hi-def output to burn travelogue DVDs of pictures and video clips. I have read that iDVD will only directly burn 720P output. On a large LCD screen, the results at 720 are obvious.
Toast with a HD plugin can burn HiDef (and BlueRay), but what kind of output from iDVD 7.2 to a video_TS content folder is possible?
Can't find any indication in the forum or iDVD preferences. I would not burn the DVD using iDVD directly but using Toast. If iDVD only creates 720P output no matter what methid, no advantage to having the HD plugin.
Since my projects are mostly pictures, I don't think FCP would even be a consideration and I don't see it has the themes and structure that iDVD gives.

Hi
Your problem is not What program to use - But see that DVD is a standard in it self and this is SD-Video.
There are no HD-DVD (but just academic and to a few with rare Toshiba HD-DVD players)
So wether You use iDVD, DVD-Studio Pro or Roxio Toast™ doesn't matter. They can only deliver SD-video to DVDs that are supposed to be played on Standard DVD-Players.
Roxio Toast™ can burn BD-code to a DVD - BUT this DVD can not be played on any Mac (except if they have Roxio Toast™ Player) - ONLY ON Blu-Ray Players - and are limited in time to 20-30 minutes max in BD-Quality.
But there are lot's of things to know - when DVD and Quaity are of importance.
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.
2. Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

1080p output on UHD TV (Late 2012 Mac Mini)

I'm looking at buying a Samsung 4K UHD TV. I currently use my late 2012 Mac Mini as a media centre. I know that I cannot use the mini to output at 4K but can I still use it to output to the TV at 1080p or will I just get nothing if I try to plug it in?

It depends upon the inputs available for the displays and the native resolution of the displays

Audio Output to HDTV

I have connected my MBP to a Sharp Aquos HDTV. For the audio I am using a cable from Radio Shack with an 1/8" plug (at the MBP) and 2 RCA plugs connected to the TV. There is a hissing/scratching noise coming from the TV speakers. This noise is not present from the MBP speakers at other times. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4)

Switch the audio output to the maximum output volume, or go out and get a mini toslink optical cable. It will cost more, but it is a digital output, and it has a mini optical 1/8 inch output to plug into the MBP, and then a regular optical connector on the other end. It is digital so it will sound better and then will have surround sound.

1080p output settings for playstation 3

Hi,
I have lots of 1080/60p (AVCHD) footage shot with a a panny HS900.
When I copy the files to the PS3 and play them to a 1080p tv - it's awsome. Same deal when I play straight from the camera.
But, when I edit the footage in premier elements 10 and export to 1080/30p (AVCHD) the resultant video looks ever so slightly jerky during fast sports scenes.
Is there a way to ouput 1080/60p or can someone suggest different settings?
Thanks in advance.
M.

I missed this thread and started another on this subject. In it wrote that I don't have trouble with 1080p60 and included these two paragraphs:
"I’ve scanned and read here that 1080p60 is not supported by Adobe in PE10 and it seems troublesome for many. Yet for me, it seems to works fine. I use one of the 1080i30 or 1080p30 project presets. Using “Get Media”, and selecting a known 1080p60 file, then checking the thumbnail with a right click and “Properties” confirms it is in fact 1080p60 and an .m2ts file.
When “Sharing” (rendering) I select Share>Computer>Presets>select MP4 H264 1080p30>Advanced>Frame Rate and both 59.94 and 60 are offered. The output file is not a .m2ts but is an .mp4. If done on a single clip, the new file is a little larger than the original and I think that is because of the default rendering bitrate is a little higher than the original. Both files play fine and are indistinguishable to my eye on a 55” TV using a media player."
I don't mean to double post, so please refer to http://forums.adobe.com/message/4542554#4542554 .

Best Output to HDTV and Computer?

I just got a Micro four thirds cameras that takes 720 HD movies in avi besides regular stills in 12mb. What is the best Share output when I want to play on an HDTV? (I have a 1080 but do not have a Blu-ray burner in my computer; only a DVD burner)??

Alan, are you using a camera like the Panasonic Lumix GF1? That camera records video in one of the following formats: AVCHD-Lite or Motion JPEG.
I think what Alan is attempting to do it to burn the AVCHD Lite files onto a standard DVD and playing back 720 HD resolution on certain BluRay players such as the Sony Playstation's BluRay.
That said, I don't believe Alan's Premiere Elements version 4 supports AVCHD editing or burning and the improvement in quality you may be seeing Alan could be the upconversion to near HD quality that most BluRay players will do with standard definition material.
I think you are correct though that AVCHD footage can be burned to standard DVD's and played back in 720 HD resolution on certain BluRay players.
I'm rather out of my depth on high definition so Steve or John, please feel free to step in and correct my info if it is incorrect.

IPad a/v output to hdtv

I have connected a digital a/v adapter to my iPad (3), and connected an hdmi cable between the adapter and an hdmi port on my LG HDTV (it's a working port - the cable has been in use with a dvd player). When I press the Output button on the TV remote the port (HDMI1) is grayed out. Has anyone had or solved this issue?

The picture above shows you where to change mirroring. In the bottom left corner of the Displays system preferences, it says Mirror Displays.

I know the tv is getting a signal from the comp. as I have that goofy grey mat and can drag things to my tv from comp. COOL - but no A/v
You obviously have audio/video (a/v) because you can see the video (you said you can see yourself dragging things there) and probably hear the audio. What are you trying to play through the TV? For example, if it's a DVD, drag the DVD player to the TV and play it full screen. If it's a Youtube video, drag the browser window to the TV and play it full screen. If you do it that way, there's no need to mirror.
