No video through Kinivo 301bn HDMI switch

Apple TV MD199LL/A
This problem started in late October. Unfortunately, I cannot correlate it to the Apple TV software upgrade pushed out at that time.
From Feb 2013 through October 2013, this setup worked fine: Apple TV --> Kinivo 301bn --> HDMI-DVI cable --> Sony Projection TV. Now, there is no video but audio works fine.
I have restored the Apple TV through iTunes, upgraded Apple TV to 6.0.2 (released 14 November 2013), even got a replacement Apple TV from the Apple store, and in all cases, video will not pass through the Kinivo HDMI switch.
I removed the switch from the equation (Apple TV --> HDMI-DVI cable --> Sony Projection TV) and everything works perfectly at 720p (the TV does not support 1080p).
Kinivo is sending a new switch, but I am guessing that will not fix the problem.
Does anyone know if Apple messed with HDCP in the 6.0.1 SW update for Apple TV (24 October 2013)?
If not, does anyone have any other ideas as to the problem/solution?

Just to follow up and close this out:
- Kinivo's replacement had the same issue.
- I daisy-chained another active device between the Apple TV and the Kinivo. This device splits the audio out from the HDMI into L/R channels, but it also maintains the EDID signal back to the Apple TV (as the Kinivo should, as well.)
In this configuration, video successfully made it to the TV through the Kinivo. My conclusion is that the Apple TV configuration did change something that affected part of the EDID handshake, which the Kinivo switch could no longer handle.
For you geeks out there, this phrase from an Extron white paper may help:
"Additionally, a display may handle a new input selection by switching only the TMDS or DDC lines from the previous source, but doing nothing with the HPD line. This can be a problem, because some sources wait for the HPD line to change state before sending video. In such cases, switching between inputs on a display can result in no viewable picture until the system is power-cycled."

I'm now searching for a single active device that will handle these ambiguous areas within the HDMI standard. Hopefully it won't cost me a mint.
In the end, Kinivo could not solve the problem, so they refunded my money. The switcher was still within the 1-year warranty.

Hdmi switch disables video

I have an "early 2009" mini. I hooked it up to my HD TV through a Sony amp that acts as an HDMI switch. It works great until I switch to a different component (e.g. satellite receiver). When I switch back to the mini there is no video or audio. Screen sharing is also disabled: I can't access the mini from another Mac. Oddly, I can use the iphone Remote app to operate iTunes and send output through AirPlay. I could also access its shared files through the network.
I've tried hdmireviver. It works for a while, but when the mini is not selected by the HDMI switch for more than 15 minutes or so, it fails.
Any ideas?
Do later models of the mini work more congenially with an HDMI switch?

There seems to be some odd issue with HDMI interfaces
when switched. I have a 2010 Mini connected to a Yamaha
receiver, using it as the HDMI source swittch.
In my case, as an example, I power up the setup with the
mini as the source, if I switch to say my cable box, when I
switch back, I will only have stereo available and no multi-
channel capabilities from the Mini. It takes a reboot to
get multichannel capabilities back.
So basically, breaking the initial HDMI link with the Mini
does all manner of strange things. So I am not suprised
that you have these issues. It seems Apple doesn't quite
have a handle on HDMI connectivity with their products.

[Solved] No video in nvidia HDTV after HDMI switching

My HDTV client (Arch64bit,XFCE) goes through a Receiver which can switch HDMI inputs, then to a HD monitor. Until recently, I could switch and find the video still working when I switched back. Recently this changed. The HDTV client also dual boots Win7, which does allow switching. To wit:
HDTV client setup(dual boot,HDMI,nvidiaGT610):
‥Archlinux/nvidiaGT610 ->SwitchingReceiver->SamsungHDmonitor
‥Win7/nvidiaGT610 ->SwitchingReceiver->SamsungHDMonitor
Previous behavoir:
…switching away from HDTVclient then switching back - HDmonitor video works
Current Behavior:
…switching away from HDTVclientWin7 then switching back - HDmonitor video works as expected
…switching away from HDTVclientArchlinux then switching back - HDmonitor video blank (no signal) but Remote desktop works, shows X11 working (putty SSL, vnc Remote Desktop). Requires reboot to restore video with HDmonitor on and Receiver HDMI selected to HDTV Archlinux/nvidiaGT610.

Thanks to Evangelos Foutras (foutrelis) the issue is solved and the Bug FS#44199 - No video in nvidia HDTV after HDMI switching is closed.
The bug...
In xfsettingsd 4.11.2 there appears to be a regression that when a TV hooked up to the computer via HDMI gets power cycled, it stops displaying anything.
It happens via a RANDR event being sent to all X clients when the TV gets turned off.
xfsettingsd thinks that it should switch to an internal output, but desktops don't have one. So when the TV comes back on the bus it seems like it's an extra monitor and xfsettingsd gets confused.
My new workaround...
Unwilling to do any testing on a remote HDTV client for domestic tranquility reasons, I did this…
Dug out an old monitor, searched through the parts drawer and found a DVI-to-DB-9 converter, plugged it in and tested that per description in XFCE Bug 11107 - xfsettingsd resets TV mode to NULL on power cycle.
The problem is (re)solved as video is restored after switching.

HT1338 FCP-X 10.1.3 will not output HDMI video through Blackmagic Intensity Pro

I can not get HDMI video output through FCP-X 10.1.3. I tested the card and I get video through it to my HDMI monitor using Blackmagic Media Express, so I know the card, monitor, and cable are in perfect working condition. I have windows>AV output selected in FCP-X, but can not get a signal through. Has anyone else experienced this? Any answers out there? I think it is a bug, and a major one at that. I really need this for color grading and to properly view my actual clips.

I guess my system just did not like Wednesday. I started it all up today and it is working like a charm, just like it should. There is no reason it did not start yesterday as I had restarted my Mac Pro several times. We shall leave it as unknown computer glitch as nothing else fits! Did nothing different, don't know, but all is fine on Thursday morning.

Mac mini DVI through AV Reciever with hdmi switching

I have a Harman Kardon AVR445 receiver which had the ability to switch between two hdmi inputs and send hdmi to my television (Viewsonic 27" LCD). I plugged in my mac mini (Intel Core Duo) using a DVI-hdmi cable and my cable box to my receiver. Everything worked great. I could switch between the computer and cable box and the picture was great on the tv.
Now, when I shut of the receiver and later turn it back on, I have a problem. The cable box still works fine. But when i switch to the hdmi input used by the mac mini, there is no signal. The only way I can get it back is to put the mini into sleep (via the power switch or the Front Row remote) and then wake it up again.
I'm trying to get some information from Harman Kardon on what happens to the hdmi inputs at power down (standby actually) but so far, the tech representative has only stated the get "shut down".
I've even tried using the program SwitchResX to always keep the display at 1024x768 in case the computer is switching to an incompatible mode but I have not had any luck here.
Does anyone have any idea what could be happening to this signal lines that would cause the mac mini to stop outputing it's display? And why won't it return when the receiver is turned on again?
Thanks

I imagine you could spend a lot of time trying to debug this while getting no closer to a fix. If you really want this to work, what you might consider investing in is a Gefen DVI Detective.
http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1378
In spite of the typo in the first line on Gefen's website, what the DVI Detective does is store a monitor's EDID (not the computer's EDID as it says on the website; computers don't have any EDID. Monitors do.) and it will then "spoof" the monitor so that when the Detective is attached to the mini's DVI output, the mini will think there is always a monitor attached and will never get confused by an HDMI switch or a sleeping receiver or whatever it is that is causing the mini to lose track of your 27" TV. You will be able to set the mini to the output you desire and from the mini's point of view it will be as though the monitor never gets disconnected so it will constantly output the same format/timing. End of problem.

No video through Sony VX2000 via firewire FCS 2.0.1

Hi,
I've been trying all day to pass video via firewire through a Sony VX2000 mini DV camera to a Sony NTSC monitor using the S-video out of the camera. I've tried multiple settings/different combinations, to no avail. At this point, I can't even get video to playback in preview mode on either computer monitor. I just installed a full version of FCS 2.0.1 a couple days ago. And, while I have your attention, any thoughts about using the AJA Io to pass video in and out of FC?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

HDMI Switch + Verizon On Demand woes

So I setup my STB to run through an HDMI switch (that goes to my stereo receiver's HDMI passthrough) which, except for the occaisonal audio glitch (usually when I switch sources without first turning my STB off) works great. The only problem being that I can't seen to get Verizon On Demand to work. When I go to the On Demand screen I get no picture, or rather just a black screen with a green vertical line or some other similar glitch but I do get the audio. Plugging the box directly into my TV works just fine however.
Any thoughts out there?
My suspicion is either the switch or the passthrough. I haven't tried connecting the box straight to my receiver's passthrough HDMI port and will try that next.

spacedebris wrote:
Well, if the menu systems are working fine and the video problem is only with the VOD program itself. Then my guess would be that your switch or the stereo passthrough is having problems with the Mpeg4 format of the VOD programming...
AFAIK Verizon does not currently send anything in MPEG-4. The 6xxx series does not support MPEG4 decoding while the 7xxx series does. As a matter of fact, any of the premiums that are received at the SHE in MPEG-4 have to be transcoded to MPEG-2 for this very reason.
EDIT: Also, most existing TV sets don't know how to decode MPEG4 (perhaps with the exception of the newest).

Problems with uVerse DVR connected to a network switch and 1x3 HDMI switch

So that I can connect multiple devices (Apple TV & BluRay player), I've connected my uVerse DVR to a network switch with IP Quality of Service function. Is it known whether or not this will cause problems? I am having problems, but see next question for probable cause. I have also connected my HD TV to a 1x3 HDMI switch output, with inputs from the uVerse DVR, Apple TV, & BluRay player. This clearly has caused problems because the DVR goes through the power on sequence almost everytime the TV is turned on, I have intermittent problems with the HDMI switch displaying video on the TV, and on several occassions, shows scheduled for recording haven't recorded at all or only partially recorded.

I've been having problems with this for months especially with the GigaPower rollout and broke down and decided to resort to some network engineering tactics versus calling out AT&T Techs. The Techs are good at their job but they are only knowledgeable about the hardware aspect but are dumb founded on this one and it's not their job to know. To the point of using a switch next to the DVR and this counts truly for all set top boxes via Ethernet they need to be physically seperated wires. Well, unless you want to pay someone to put an extra Ethernet drop next to each wired set-top box or DVR this isn't feasible so options are deal with it or spend $20 more dollars on a switch that supports 802.1q trunking which makes two 'virtual' independent ethernet cables over one line. If you can do it great otherwise this takes a higher than average knowledge of basic networking. A basic setup would be: + Get two switches - Netgear GS108T or GS108E I've found does the job well. + Enable 802.1q advanced VLANs+ Make two additional vlans 2 and 3 (1 is the native VLAN)+ Mark a port as tagged 'T' for the trunk port to the other switch for VLANS 1,2,3 (I used port 8)+ Assign VLAN 2 and mark as untagged for ports 2-7 - this is for data traffic+ Assign VLAN 3 and mark as untagged for port 8 only - this is for video multi-cast traffic+ ***DISABLE*** MULTI-CAST IGMP SNOPING otherwise IPTV won't work. On the back of the Uvserse router, take an Ethernet wire and plug into port 8 and take an Ethernet cable and plug into port 7. This does not create a loop though sounds like it, we've created two unique layer 2 networks. Now configure the second Netgear switch (or switch of your choosing...) the same exact way but plug your DVR into port '8' and all your data stuff XBox, whatever... into ports 2-7. Whalla, you've eliminating multi-cast flooding and DVR traffic is independent. Ever since I started doing this I increased the speed throughput from 10 MB/s or to never working to a full reliable gigabit speed or respectibly whatever UVerse service you get.

Lion freezes after HDMI switch on Mac Mini

having two newest Models of Mac Minis, both having LCD HDMI Displays connected to them.
both running newest Software of Lion.
there is a HDMI Switch, to switch the 2nd Display on thunderbold which is a Projector between the two Minis.
One of the Minis freezes, when the HDMI port is switched away from it, the other doesnt.
Once i unplug the HDMI cable or switch back to the Port where this "problematic" Mini is connected, the freeze is unlocked and everything works again.
This is only on "the problematic" Mini, the other works fine, even when the HDMI Port is switched away from the second (working) one it does not freeze, nor having any issues.
this is weird, how can it be, that the problem only exists on one Mini with the Same configuration, and not on the other one?
And How can i possibly solve it...

I have Mac Mini (mid 2010) hooked on to 5.1 ch speakers (Bose) and LED TV (Samsung) through AV amp (Bose LS-35), all connections using HDMI cable. The dream system autput is limited to 3.1 (no sound from LR and RR).
When I then configure my speakers through the Midi-setup utility. I can specifically trigger each speaker successfully (control sound comes with the configure speakers tool). The video is also good. The problem is that whatever movie I play and whatever software I use (DVD player or Quicktime or VLC), I hear only stereo. I also tried every possible permutation in the software settings without success.
The fact that the midi-setup (in utilities) can drive every speaker indicates that the wiring is correct and even that the AV-received transmits the macs signal properly. But somehow, the output from the mac (apart from the setup tool) fails miserably.
I looked through hundreds of forums without success. People suggest using toslink and HDMI connection, but then we need to use two remotes, etc and not sure if that will either.
Apple clearly states MacMini is capable of producing 5.1 ch sound (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4214)
Hope to get some help and guys in Apple zero in on the issue

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.

DVI-D - HDMI switcher - DVI-D

Hey friends,
I've got a fairly convoluted and confusing HDMI situation. As DVI matrix switchers are so expensive, I decided to get a HDMI switcher and HDMI to DVI cables. I have two Mac Pro towers, each with two DVI outputs, and two 24" Cinema HD displays. So, my signal flow is:
Mac Pros - DVI to HDMI cables (x4) - HDMI matrix switcher - HDMI cable - HDMI to DVI adaptor - Cinema HD tail
The monitors simply flash three short lights, which Apple support tells me means that they are recieving an invalid format or resolution. I thought that HDMI and DVI were completely compatible formats... Any ideas as to why this is not working?
Thanks!

Going through a lot of "adapters" in that setup (cables "adapters", switcher, dvi adaptor). I guess my first question would be to supply all the details of all those components to verify they are the proper components to handle the signals. So, list url's to all the stuff:
1. dvi-to-hdmi cable
2. hdmi switcher
3. hdmi-to-dvi adaptor
4. hdmi cables (including lengths)
Maybe there's something in the specificaions of these things that would indicate the problem.
Update:
As an experiment you might want to try a single monitor and macpro without the switch. mac pro --> dvi-to-hdmi cable --> hdmi-to-dvi adaptor --> monitor. If it works then obviously the switch would be the culprit.

Belkin HDMI Switch - Apple TV doesn't work?!!

Hi all,
I have just bought myself a Belkin HDMI 3 port switch
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/TM026B/A
I've plugged it all in and my PS3 works through it, I plugged my PowerBook into it (using DVI-HDMI cable) and they work great and yet plugging my ATV into doesn't work. I've tried unplugging the ATV and Switch and then turning them back on again but still no luck.
I don't suppose anyone has any advice?

It seems that Apple TV doesn't support many HDMI switches!
Just in case anyone else comes across this problem then it would seem that the only switch to buy is the OPPO HM-31.
See this thread for further info:

Video through Panasonic HT?

Hello,
After doing some research, I have found that the Touch requires either the Apple-branded component / composite cables or an approved system (presumably the system performs the authentication). Does anyone know of a list of these systems?
I am trying to troubleshoot the lack of video through a new Panasonic HT. Audio works great, but for video, the system tells me to connect via component. I currently have the HT connected to TV via HDMI.
Panasonic website and manual both say the same thing, but do not specify Apple cables only.
Thanks!

You need the Apple cable either composite or component, others wont work since the 3rd Gen Nano came out. The link for the composite is below.

Why did my 17"Mac Book Pro loose its ability to output video through it's adaptors?

Why did my 17"Mac Book Pro loose its ability to output video through it's adaptors? I have S-Video, RC, and an HDMI adaptors that use to work and output video. At somepoint an OS upgrade stoped their functionality. Is this something I can correct? If so, any ideas as to a path to follow?

2011 and later MacBook Pros shifted to Thunderbolt.
Pre 2010 MacBook Pros may have a PRAM battery getting old.
One of these factors may exist. Not knowing the age of your MacBook Pro, I can't say for certain.

Can't Play Video Through To Camera iMovie Crashes

I was working with iMovie 3 the other day and viewing the project on my TV using my trusty old Canopus ADVC 100 with the "Play Video Through To Camera" option checked in Preferences. Today I went to preview a new project and iMovie crashes everytime it finishes loading all of the clips with the play through option checked. The only way to open the project is to turn off the ADVC and uncheck the play-though option and re-save. It will load whether the ADVC is on or off as long as the play through option is not checked.
What could have changed?

Hi David
This is a guessing question - so many ways things can go wrong.
May be You find some help in my list:
Mac:
- hardware
◊ Slow hard disk (fragmented: repair permissions, repair hard disk, use a faster hard disk)
◊ I wonder how full your Mac's hard disc is. (David Babsky) A near full hard disk prevents Import/Capture. 10% free is recommended + space for Import/Capture + work space (about 4 to
5 times the amount needed for Capture) eg on a 200Gb hard disk You need 20Gb + (one hour tape)
13Gb + 50Gb = about 80 to 90Gb free space.
◊ Disconnect all other ext devices (FW and USB) exept Camera (and keyboard + mouse) and try again
◊ Reset PRAM
◊ Bad RAM-chips
◊ disconnect Mac from powerline (not just switch off, really plug out) for a few minutes to reset FW ports
- software
◊ File-Vault is on - turn it off
◊ Something is occupying the CPU/System, like other programs, Internet etc.
◊ Do You have desktop pictures or screen or energy-savers active? Try turning them off.
◊ Updating - OS has to be a clean install - not an update eg from X.3.x to X.4.x (no good) OS X.4.0-5 needs a clean install to work (I use X.3.9)
◊ Updating QT and/or other updates (to 7 needs v6 to be cleaned out first) QT v.7.0.0-4 needs a clean install to work (I use 6.5.2)
◊ Have you tried the crazy fix: Open GarageBand, play a few notes, close it and reopen iMovie. The camera should import fine now. Sue/SDillini
◊ Running iDVD at the same time as iMovie can cause problems: (Lennart Thelander)
◊ If You also have installed FinalCut Express/pro there are possibly problems with this
iMovie:
◊ remove bookmarks in iMovie project
◊ Trash: com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iMovie3.plist : files (Xinram)
Connection:
◊ don’t Daisy chain Camcorder <--> external hard disk <--> Mac
◊ FW-wire cable, is it OK?
◊ USB/USB2 is NO GO !
◊ Cheque FW connection at Camera end. OK? (Adam Smith1)
◊ Cheque FW connection at Mac end. OK?
Camera:
◊ The Camera is set to VTR ? (not as when You ”film” record with it)
◊ You may be need to go to the Camera menu and select digital out.
◊ defective camera TRY IT ON ANOTHER MAC ! (if the A/D chip in the camera is harmed then it will say in iMovie that the camera is connected and You can forward resp. backward the tape but there will be no picture or sound just the blue screen).
◊ connect camera to power-line, not battery-only....(Karsten Schlüter)
◊ Canons don't allow daisychaining on firewire, make it "only device" on port (Karsten Schlüter)
◊ Cheque the menu on Your Camera so that it communicates with the FW digitally to Your Mac
◊ Date and Time is correct on Your Camera ?
Tape:
◊ Drop outs on the miniDV-tape - make a camera to camera copy on a tape which You have previous recorded with a time code (dummy recording).
◊ Break in the time-code on the miniDV tape (make a camera to camera copy on a tape which is pre-recorded with nothing/anything so that the tape has a time-code from beginning to the end)
◊ If You recorded in LP-mode (90 min on a standard 60 min tape with 12-bit sound). Try to change in iMovie pref. to import but not as individual clips. If this doesn’t work You have to make a Camera to Camera copy with the receiving Camera set to SP-mode and 16-bit sound.
More:
◊ follow advises here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=43000
◊ follow Grandmaster Dan's advice for Sony cameras here: http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/usage/5020.shtml
NEWS: Jerry Harris writes:
I know that in a lot of the new Sony HD cameras, iMovie requires that you turn iLink Conv off. I would look for a similar setting for your camera. This setting has to do with shooting a movie in one format, and using the camera to import as a different format. For instance, if you shoot HD footage and have iLink conv on - the camera will send DV to the computer etc...
So, case in point: look for a setting on your camera that has to do with the video format and see if that helps.
