New Mac Mini output to S-Video

I'm trying to output to S-Video using a new Mac Mini (2010).
If I use a Mini Display to DVI adapter and then the DVI to S-Video, will that work?
Mini Display to DVI: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A
DVI to S-Video: http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9267G/A
Looks like it'll "work", but will it "WORK"?
Thanks

Adapters won't work. MDP to DVI is digital only and S-Video needs 480i (analog).
You would need an expensive converter like http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=5280

  • New Mac mini audio problem - beeping from audio output

    Hi Apple fans
    Please help me. I recently purchased a new Mac mini from my local store. It's three-and-a-half weeks old as of today.
    It's an i5 2.3 with 8 GB of corsair RAM.
    I like to watch movies and TV on it and have the audio connected to an external amp and speakers via the headphone output.
    After a reboot today I lost the sound through that output. All that I hear through it now is an electronic beeping, six notes, descending in pitch, repeating.
    I have no idea what it is, other than annoying since this happened on a brand new computer. Not looking forward to the idea of losing my mini for a week as Apple figure it out, but it may be all that's left to do.
    Maybe somebody here can help me out - anyone have an idea what's going on? I did an fsck -fy already, and there seems to be nothing wrong, based on that check. For completeness sake, I ran the sound over a USB sound card, and the beeping noise was not there, and sound worked fine. Ditto for the internal speaker - no weird noise there, this seems limited to the headphone out port. I've tried different cables, and even amps, and a set of small speakers without amp. The noise is there when using the headphone jack, and it's absent when using the wee internal speaker or USB-based sound. Please help?
    I captured the sound on a video which I've uploaded. It's kind of jarring, so keep your hand on the volume button.

    Hi Pascal,
    Certainly strange, but I have no ideas other than having it looked at by Apple.

  • I have a new Mac Mini, and I want to send raw video...

    I have a new Mac Mini (Lion), and I want to send raw video to the Internet, using Ustream, Skype or other services. I don't need cameras, microphones, or other periphrals. My video consists of 1 volt composite (from a video switcher), and the audio is full stereo at 600 ohm line level on each channel. What do I need?
    I have a video capture card on my Windows machine; but the results have been crappy at best. And the so-called "Geek Squad" at Best Buy (where I bought the Mac Mini) have been less than helpfull. Further, the on-line Apple Store shows nothing. Maybe someone here has an idea.

    You are going to need a video capture device of some sort and I believe the following will be suitable.

    I just bought a new mac mini and an external DVD burner. I want to burn a DVD video and it will not play on the TV but only on the computer? Need this figured out for tomorrow. Can anyone help me?

    Congratulations on the new Mini. Are you saying you tried burning and it does not play, or do you want to burn it only for the computer to be able to play it?

  • No video on brand new mac mini

    I am trying to get a brand new mac mini going for the first time, and although it switches on, there is no video on the attached VGA display.
    I have connected the same display to my Ibook VGA adapter and it works perfectly, so it is not the display. I have also tried another display which also works on the I book. What else can I do other that take it into a mac store as I am a very long way from one?

    Here is an assortment of Apple technical articles dealing with this sort of thing. Good luck.

  • Is new Mac mini sufficiently powerful to edit HD video in iMovie?

    All,
    I am considering purchasing the new Mac mini and would like to know if it is powerful enough to edit HD video in iMovie imported from a mini-dv-based video camera now that it has the GeForce 320M. Any insight is much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your responses. HDV is the format my camcorder uses. The main thing I was trying to determine is whether the new Mac mini (and it's new NVidia hardware) had enough computing horsepower to handle the HD video. My current, first generation Mac mini grinds to a halt when i try to do anything with HD but is fine for SD.

  • New Mac Mini with Lion Video Problem With Dell E228WFP monitor

    Just purchased a new mini Mac 2.3 with Lion pre installed.  I connected to my old Dell E228WFPI monitor via the Mini Display to VGA adapter.  The mini mac worked fine for an hour until I put it to sleep.  It would not rewake.  After rebute the gray screen and apple logo appear with clock, but after clock screen to black and monitor goes to power saver mode.  Took unit to apple store twice and could not resolve problem by changing resolution or other methiods.  Finally, we learned that the system works fine using Belkin HDMI to DVI cable.  This Dell Monitor had DVI connector.  Hope this helps...

    How can a computer that's been turned off (and I mean completely OFF) get a network request? Only a sleeping computer should react to such a request. If you're sure you shut down (Apple Menu, Shut Down), then only an internal power supply or logic board problem should cause this. The only way it could be software is if Lion is not shutting down the computer but is instead putting it to sleep. Is it a new Mac Mini? If so, you should have it replaced or repaired.

  • New Mac Mini and Analog TV

    I just bought a new March 2009 Mac Mini. I am trying to hook it up to and old analog TV. The TV has SVIDEO and RCA jacks. I purchased the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter only to find out it will not work with the new model. It seems the new model only outputs DVI-D and not DVI-I.
    I am trying to hook up the mini-dvi to SVIDEO on the back of my TV and then for the audio connect them to the TV with RCA jacks. Is there any way to get the new mac mini to work with an analog TV?
    Thanks

    When you cite "VGA converter to RCA" do you mean a little box that actually converts the signal down to RCA/composite, like this:
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011407&pid=4724&seq=1&format=2
    or simply an adaptor like this one:
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10401&cs_id=1040113&pid=2509&seq=1&format=2
    The crucial thing I'm waiting to find out is whether the new Minis provide ANY analog video signal to either of the video ports at all (which would seem to be the case, since VGA is analog, right?), or if the analog roadblock is simply caused by the currently available adaptors.

  • New Mac Mini thunderbolt to DVI adapter issues

    Hi there,
    I'm working on a new studio installation. We have a new Mac Mini that we're trying to connect up to a 30-inch Cinema HD display with DVI input. We have a Kanex C30 Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter that plugs into the Thunderbolt port and one of the USB ports (for power) on the back of the Mini, but despite our best efforts we aren't getting anything on the display. Going Mac - adapter - display results in about 7/8ths of the screen going white and displaying two green and misshapen Apple logos for about 5 seconds before it goes blank.
    Ultimately we want to run it over quite a long DVI cable and currently have an Extron signal booster in place, which works perfectly from the Mac Mini's HDMI output through an HDMI to DVI adapter. However we're already using the HDMI output to feed another monitor. 
    So two questions really:
    1. Can the Mac Mini feed two separate displays of different sizes? The 30-inch over Thunderbolt to DVI and another Apple 24 inch display over HDMI to DVI.
    2. Does anybody have any experience with the Kanex or can you recommend an adapter that will work for us?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This whole process has been a very long headache!
    Many thanks,
    Josh

  • HDMI to TV as Display for New Mac Mini DOESN'T WORK

    I bought a new Mac Mini and was told I could us HDMI to my TV as display.   I was using this TV as display for older Mac Mini (VGA) and for a Windows PC, and DVD via HDMI.     TV is one year old. 
    The Genius at the store who sold me the new mini said all I needed was an HDMI cable.   Which I purchased. 
    The screen comes up for the Setup Assistant but as soon I select continue is goes to gray, mixed color scanning garbage mode.    If I turn the TV off and back on, the screen returns (now at the next prompt in the setup assistant) but again it goes gray after hitting continue.    Unusable, CANNOT set up my new purchase.
    Unfortunately, the DVI to VGA adapter on my old mini is different and doesn't mate to the HDMI to DVI adapter that ships with new MacMini, so I can't test VGA.   The old DVI to VGA has extra pins not on the new one. 
    My purchase is not usable and is extremely poor.   Buyer beware I guess.   

    I have been using MacMini's for commercial digital signage/video conferencing gateway usage for sometime now, they all have HDMI output, about one third are on Lion the others still on Snow Leopard, here's what I have found.
    Toshiba & LG tv's are generally reliable, Samsung and Philips generally are not, Panasonic, Sony, Sharp & Viewsonic all work, somtimes with a bit of work from me.
    Cables are important (always look for compatibility with HDMI  revision 1.3 or greater (1.4 preferred), don't waste your money on exotic brands, adhere to the distance limitations, I generally send the HDMI signal wirelessly (cost of labor to add wiring to an existing space can be very high) so am limited to less than 50ft, same as with a wire.
    READ THE TV MANUAL, find out what HDMI choices your tv possesses, is there a 'parallel' audio input available for the times when your signal origin is a MDP or DVI.
    Some TV's just don't work well, cut your losses and get another when faced with this issue.

  • My new Mac Mini

    I just got my new Mac Mini the other day and my first observation is that the fan is dead quiet and the unit doesn't get even hot. Fantastic!! I've copied my applications and files from my Mac Pro desktop and I'm ready to connect it to my projector and receiver. I have some questions:
    Which video output should I use, the mini DVI or the mini DisplayPort? When I had my Mac Pro desktop connected to my projector (Marantz VP-11s2), I used a DVI to HDMI adapter to a HDMI cable. The Mini came with a mini DVI to DVI adapter. Should I use it instead of maybe the new mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter from Monoprice?
    Thanks!

    i go to an hdmi projector input and have tried both video outputs and dont see any difference. i use the 1280x720 resolution.

  • New Mac Mini Anyone?

    Does anyone know if you can play video out of the HDMI output on the new Mac Mini?
    (Video within Logic that is).
    Thx
    Felix

    I can't imagine why not.
    Logically, there is no difference to the system between the HDMI port and the Mini DisplayPort.

  • How to connect an Apple ADC display to a new Mac mini?

    Has anyone found a way to connect the brand new mac mini, either HDMI or micro to an older Apple display that has an ADC connector on it? Where to buy - the Apple store does not have their DVI to ADC adapter. Thanks.

    I found one here for $139:

  • VGA to DVI to hdmi?  For the new Mac Mini.

    I'm dying to buy a new Mac Mini but I'm not ready to replace my monitor yet.  Sadly, it's a VGA flat panel.  It's connected to my current 2009 Mini by a VGA to DVI adapter.  The new Mini comes with a DVI to HDMI adapter.
    Can I plug my VGA to DVI adapter into the DVI to HDMI adapter and get video for my monitor?  My monitor has no speakers, so audio is irrelevant.  I just need video.

    Unfortunately, my monitor is a VGA only flatpanel.  I had to buy a $30 Thunderbolt to VGA adapter to be able to use it with my new Mini.  Ah well, problem solved.  I'll make sure my next monitor has either DVI or HDMI.
    One thing I think Apple should seriously consider doing is STOPPING their practice of including an adapter in the box and, instead, giving a free adapter with purchase.  That way, they won't be wasting resources (this is the second time I've bought a Mac with an adapter I don't need, and I guarantee there are people who will already have a compatile monitor and won't need the adapter either) and instead will better serve their customers by sending them home with a new Mac that works with the monitor they have.
    The Mini is all about bring your own peripherals, right?  Well, there are a lot of VGA monitors out there.

  • How do you configure a newer Mac mini to use a VGA adapter?

    I don't know what could be wrong the computer was fine with DVI but my tv isn't hdcp compliant and won't play rentals or netflix over dvi, so I need to use VGA adapter. My Panasonic display is set to rgb mode, but I tried all modes. Already tried rebooting. Any advanced settings for changing the Mac mini output to rgb? Any other ideas on why no picture at all?

    Thanks tried that already-gonna try on a newer monitor. Probably time to let go of my old time plasma display but it's hard-still looks great and it cost 4 grand but I could get something comparable for 6-8 hundred now
