Mac mini HDMI support

Can anybody tell me what HDMI standard the mid 2011 Mac mini supports please? 1.4 or 1.3?

The 2010 Mac Mini supported HDMI up to version 1.4 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4214 so it's safe to assume that the 2011 Mac Minis do the same.

  • HT1349 New Mac mini 3d support ?

    i need confirmation that the new mac mini 599$ version with intel HD 300 graphics is able to output HDMI 1.4a 3D to any 3d tv or projector... ?q

    The current (introduced in in late 2012) Mac Mini will support one 30" Apple display.
    14. Which monitors work with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter?
    Use the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter to connect your computer to a 30-inch display that includes a dual-link DVI connector, such as the Apple Cinema HD Display. Note: For such displays, be sure to connect the USB connection on the adapter to the USB port on your Mac; also connect the USB connection from the display to the USB port on the adapter.

  • 2011 Mac Mini HDMI only 2Ch Stereo

    Wow is this frustrating. I've had my Mac Mini for about a week, and for the life of me, cannot get surround sound working via HDMI. I've read so many posts about people with this problem but I can't find a definitive answer for a fix. All I want is for the Mac Mini to passthrough the audio so that my Pioneer Receiver can handle all of the Dolby stuff.
    Setup is simple -
    Mac Mini ------> HDMI -------> Pioneer VSX-1020 Receiver --------> Samsung 55" LED
    Inside of the Midi Audio options, it shows my receiver as the audio device, and I have all of the options for 2ch, 8ch, etc. I also selected Dolby 5.1. I can only get PCM or Stereo to display on my receiver while ticking through these channel options, while I would expect Dolby to display if it is receiving a Dolby signal. Also, when I do the test tones in the Configure Speakers area, I get the correct test tones from all channels. BUT.........
    No matter what I play whether it be iTunes, VLC, etc, I am only getting 2 channel sound and my subwoofer.
    Can anybody help?? This seems like such a simple task yet it has me pulling my hair out.

    ive had my 1021 for about 2 months and i think its great. Do you like yours?
    i have 5.1 using optical cable to one of the optical in ports on the 1021. But you will need an optical-to-miniOptical adapter tip to use in the mini.
    then make sure that any app through which you want 5.1 has that specified in its prefs. (like VLC)
    VLC always has the option ' out through system', and if the system is optical out, then 5.1 will pass.

  • Problem switcing Mac Mini HDMI via an Onkyo 606 Receiver

    I'm having problems when attempting to switch my Mac Mini HDMI via my Onkyo Receiver. Connecting via a DVI to HDMI converter. Works fine when connected directly to the TV.
    When connected via the Onkyo, I get the Apple logo at the begining of the boot-up process, but when the screen would ordinarily switch to my desktop background, the screen goes blank.
    Any suggestions?
    John.

    Do you have a second computer at your disposal? In cases like this, the best debugging method is to use a second computer and create a screen sharing setup under OS X Leopard, or a VNC set up if the second computer is not a Mac running Leopard. That way you will be able to see exactly what the mini is doing, even though the TV is blank.
    Probably, in the end, you are going to need something like Gefen's DVI Detective to get HDMI switching to work the way you want it to.

  • Mac Mini HDMI - Stuck CD

    Hello,
    I have a CD stuck in my new Mac Mini HDMI.
    * It does not appear in the Finder as a CD.
    * Disk Utility shows the CD drive itself, but all options for eject, format, etc are all greyed out.
    * Booting with the mouse button down does not work (I have a bluetooth keyboard; however, I selected to stop using it and connected a wired keyboard)
    * Booting with C down does not work
    * Booting with Option down until getting to the firmware boot disk selection menu, then pressing / holding the eject button does not work
    * I used the Terminal command "drutil eject", the drive makes the eject noise, but nothing comes out
    * Tried System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ double clicking Eject.menu - the menu only has a greyed out drive listed
    I think that's everything I've tried. Please let me know if there's anything else I can try.
    Thanks for all your help!

    I figured out the 'problem'
    Let me pre-face it by saying, my wife originally emailed me at work talking about this disc she couldn't get out.
    Flash forward to now. I was fishing around with my work badge (thin hard plastic) and I couldn't feel anything that felt like the edge of a disc. So, after getting up the nerve I took a blank DVD, and slowly let the drive catch it and pull it in. Loaded up just fine.
    I guess the "Stuck CD" must have evaporated
    Good new is, I now know every single way to get the disc out should this happen to me for real (short of completely disassembling the Mac Mini). For now, all I can do is laugh (quietly so my wife doesn't hear).
    Thanks for helping out Boece!

  • Mac mini hdmi to VGA

    On my Mac mini, I have been using thunderbolt to VGA for a monitor & it works fine. I would like to add a second monitor. I bought a hdmi to VGA but when plugged in, there is no picture on the second display and the first display blinks off & on. Am I wrong in thinking this should work? How else would I get the second display?

    From:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4214
    Can the HDMI port drive analog displays (VGA displays for example) using adapters?
    No.  The HDMI port will drive digital connections—such as DVI—using the adapter that came with the Mac mini, but cannot be used for analog displays such as VGA. You can purchase a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter separately to drive analog displays.
    If yo really need ton use two VGA monitors yo willneed a UBS video adopter

  • OS X 10.8.5 mac mini hdmi audio output issue

    I am running a 2012 Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.5 and my Mac is set for audio and video output via HDMI to my AV receiver / TV. I have recently noticed that HDMI audio output ceases to function once the computer goes to sleep. A full computer restart is required to resolve the issue which is an inconvenience to say the least.
    Or is anyone aware of a simple fix?
    All my software is up to date, the HDMI lead and connection works fine for video and audio works fine after a restart so it must surely be a software error. Worked fine until the latest OS X update...
    Grateful for any help!

  • New Mac Mini HDMI version...

    does anyone know what version of HDMI the new mac mini is running? i can't find it anywhere. surely they're running v1.3 at least right?

    HDMI v1.4 has been out for almost à year. Since the mini has an Nvidia chip with 3D support. If the mini had 1.4 support and connected to a 3D TV, you could use the mini as à 3D playback device. Maybe next revision fixes this.

  • Which mac mini model supports dual monitors

    Hi there
    I gather that at some point mac minis started to support dual monitors natively.
    Would anyone be able to clear up which model this was?
    Cheers

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    October 20, 2009 to June 14, 2010 Mac Minis supported mini-DisplayPort & and mini-DVI.
    June 15, 2010 and later supported mini-DisplayPort & HDMI.

  • Mac Mini, HDMI, VLC, not outputting Dolby 5.1

    The Mac Mini 2010 has a HDMI port but it appears that it will not pass through Dolby encoded sound.
    The solution is to connect your hdmi to a minidisplay port to hdmi adapter.
    Then go to utilities/audio mini set up/ and select HDMI and 48000 and 2ch -24bit
    Then VLC will export sound to your home theater amplifier in Dolby 5.1 surround.
    Othe Mac models may have an HDMI port as well that does not support Dolby 5.1.

    FWIW, I have a 2010 Mini and am going direct HDMI-HDMI
    to my Yamaha receiver and have no issues with passing
    Dolby5.1 or DTS to it, with MIDI settings at 2ch 24bit/48kHz.
    It has been set like this since I bought it new.  Dolby and DTS
    have passed through problem free with iTunes, XBMC,
    and originally with PLEX (decided early on the XBMC was the
    best choice).
    This was also though the likes of Snow Leopard, Lion, and
    Mountain Lion.

  • Mac mini HDMI to DVI adapter cable

    The new Mac mini comes with a HDMI to DVI adapter cable. Typically these (Apple) adapter cables are also available for sale separately however at the moment no other Apple device (if one ignores the Apple TV) would need this cable and as every 2010 Mac mini already includes the cable it is it seems not listed on the Apple store.
    As I am interested in getting more of these adapter cables, does anyone know if there is an Apple part number for them, or even an Apple service part number?

    Be careful what you read and with your answers. The OP is inquiring about an HDMI to DVI adapter, not a DVI to HDMI adapter. They are two very different devices! Although HDMI and DVI are electrically equivalent, some adapters work in only one direction, so you cannot always just turn it around and run it the other way.
    John, there are HDMI to DVI adapters available from 3rd parties. Be careful that it has a return policy and a warranty. Some adapters are not to the standard and are not functioning as expected. I have been happy with Monoprice products, but have no experience with this particular adapter that you seek.
    Currently the Apple Store has two Belkin adapters. If Apple sells it, it usually works well.

  • Mac Mini HDMI into AV HDMI Switch - Lose sound when monitor is shutoff

    I'd like to use the Mac Mini to listen to internet radio and have the display shutoff. I have the Mini's HDMI output cable connected to Yamaha audio video home theater receiver that acts as a HDMI switch from various HDMI inputs (blue ray player, xbox, and mac mini). A single HDMI output from the av receiver goes to my Samsung flat screen TV.
    All works well (I have the system preferences sound option set to hdmi on the Mini) until I shut off the TV. Then the sound that was going to the AV receiver shuts off and the mini switches its sound output back to its internal speaker.
    Can't find a way around it. Appreciate an answer if anyone has one.
    Reading the booklet that came with the Mini regarding HDMI output, it appears that Apple assumes that cable is going directly to a monitor. I'm wondering if the Mini gets a signal that monitor goes off (via the av receiver) the designers didn't factor the av receiver's capability to continue handling the sound.

    When the TV is turned off or disconnected from the Mac, or if you are using an AV Receiver also when the AV Receiver is switched to a different source than the Mac, the result is that the Mac no longer sees a signal on the HDMI interface. The Mac will then deactive the HDMI interface and switch the sound back to the built-in speaker.
    The best solution involves spending money, and is to buy a Gefen HDMI Detective+. This learns the signal from the TV and will keep sending it to the Mac even if the TV is turned off, unplugged or the AV Receiver switches the connection.

  • Mac mini HDMI 1080p SUCCESS with Panasonic 50" TH-50PZ81B

    I recently purchased a Panasonic TH-50PZ81B. This is a UK model with a built-in satellite ("Freesat") receiver, and displays full 1080p and uses a 1920 x 1080 native panel. I used to connect my Mac mini HTPC to a Sony 42" plasma by VGA, and the Panasonic has a VGA input which displays 1,368 x 768 out of the box - no SwitchResX. It's decent. But, I wanted the "full" 1080p so bought the Belkin DVI-HDMI cable. Like a lot of people I got the choice of either the big black bars all around, or enabling "overscan" in Displays which would fill the screen, but, well, overscan! I spent all morning playing with SwitchResX and it just wasn't working (and the instructions at http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=751713 bothered me in that it seems to suggest you need to increase the resolution so it wouldn't be 1:1 pixel mapping). I tried to look at the service menu but it wasn't obvious what to do so I left it alone, and there is no manual picture adjustment like there was on my old Sony. Urgh.
    But, by chance I noticed in the TV's Menu -> Settings menu on page 2 there is an option for Picture Overscan, which was turned on. I turned if off, and just like that got full 1080p 1:1 pixel mapping.
    So, that's Mac mini with overscan ON. Use the great (weird) advice from Adam Nash to enable the Display menu bar item as seen here:
    http://blog.adamnash.com/2008/01/24/yes-you-can-get-1080p-out-of-a-mac-mini/
    It works - you have two identical-looking outputs but your TV will tell you one is 1080i and the other is 1080p.
    On the TV settings go Menu -> Settings -> Picture Overscan and make sure it's OFF. Done!
    I don't know if other Panasonic screens are similar but I can tell from the frustration on other posts - which I shared, believe me - that there are a lot of people with this issue wondering why SwitchResX is so non-intuitive etc. so I am hoping that for all those people who know how to use Google, this will show up in their searches.

    I decided to post in the display forum because it was fine outputing via DVI-HDMI to a 1368*768 TV, and also fine via D-sub to the Full HD TV (although at 1368*768, but that's the limitation of the TV)
    But thanks for your advice. I'll post there as well
