Output to monitor/projector

Will iOS 4.2 have the ability to output to an external monitor/projector?
I know Apple left it up to the software developers to enter in this code but why can't the iPad just have this ability out of the box? Those that have jail broken their iPad already have this ability in the settings. That just shows that the iPad could do this but apple won't allow it.
Apple why can't we have this functionality? I would love it for myself for various reasons, but I work for a large school and the faculty members that have purchased iPad's want to output to a projector as part of their teaching.
Heck...apple didn't even add this functionality into Safari.

We are all users here. We do not know why Apple does/does not do what it does. If you want to make a suggestion go here:

Is it possible to output to a projector and a monitor with Keynote?

Hi, I am looking to set up my Macbook Pro for a presentation, I have hooked up two extra output displays - a projector through the DVI for the main presentation and a monitor with an Iogear USB - VGA connector on stage for the speakers notes. The Macbook will be side stage. Is it possible in Keynote to display the main presentation on the projector and the speakers notes to the monitor? I have tried mirroring the laptop to the monitor but this has caused problems with it only working when the projector is designated the home screen (with the dock) meaning people will see what is going on through the projector. When the laptop is the home screen and keynote is started a message appears saying there's not enought virtual memory. Is there anyway around this?

This is not possible with a mini.

Grey screen when connected to external monitor / projector

I have a 13" Macbook Pro (OS 10.6.7, 2.4 GHz Intel, NVIDIA GeForce 320M) that is freezing up when connected to an external monitor or projector. The monitor or projector works fine when initially connected, but after an hour or so of use, both screens will suddenly turn grey or black and the computer is totally unresponsive (the sleep light is not on). I have to do a hard shut down using the power button. This problem only occures when connected to a monitor / projector.
This freeze up happens in various use cases; watching a movie, web surfing, editing docs, or even when i'm away from the computer, it seems entirely random.
I'm connecting to a Dell U2711 external monitor using a HDMI cable. I've tried 3 different HDMI cables / adaptors, so I'm pretty sure it's not the cable that's the problem. The problem also occures when connected to an Epson Powerlite HD 705 projector (again using HDMI)
I've called Applecare and run a Hardware Test (no issues found), I've also re-installed the operating system and ran all updates. The problem still occures.
Idea ideas on what's wrong?

Found the solution here: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/152203/osx-10-10-yosmite-turn-off-macbo ok-pros-display-while-connect-to-external-moni
In terminal:
Enable: sudo nvram boot-args="niog=1"
To undo: sudo nvram -d boot-args
This works brilliantly!
Steps I use:
1) After putting in the terminal command, reboot and close the lid immediately
2) Keep the lid closed during boot up and once logged in, open the lid
3) The MacBook Pro's screen is off

HT201300 You have Macbook of some kind and it has two Thunderbolt ports. Which port do you use first for an external monitor/projector?

By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings. That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere. It didn't work.

Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
Make sure SD DVD is selected:
(If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
Build your DVD and you'll be fine.

P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

No audio output with wireless projector connection

I use EasyMP Network Projection software to connect wirelessly to a projector. Until about two weeks ago (before Yosemite OS came out) the connection stopped streaming sound through the projectors speakers. The video works but the sound only comes out of my laptops speakers (Macbook Air) and I don't see the projectors audio output show up in the sound control panel. I know the projector is not to blame because other people can use the projector and get sound out of it. I'm also getting an error upon opening the EasyMP software that says "You need to restart your computer to enable Audio Output" but restarting the computer makes no difference.
Steps taken to resolve issue:
Uninstalled and reinstalled the EasyMP software
Reset the SMC
Restarted the computer
Repaired file permissions with Disk Utility.

I have outputs 1+2 connected to a pair of Audix powered monitors. I've tested the monitors with other audio sources, and they work. Also, I'm not getting any audio from the headphone jack. This makes me think that I've either got something set incorrectly with the software, or there's something wrong with the mixer.
I also tried running Garageband with the FW-1884 and had the same problem, if that helps.

PLEASE HELP - COLOR SHIFTING PROBLEM on output NTSC monitors

http://www.smmlv.com/testproject/
Above is a link to a layered photoshop file that has a USA map and over a dozen network overlays used in a section of our video. I animate each layer on sepeartely in the video and have noticed a major problem recently, the color of the art does not hold true to placement. I created the art originally in Illustrator and then converted the file to Photoshop at 640x480, 72dpi. This has always worked perfectly in the past to display and animated artwork in FCP.
Right now, in FCP I am using the NTSC DV 3:2 frame size, and the compressor of DV/DVCPRO - NTSC. I have a JVC Profressional DV deck that hooks up through firewire and sends S-Video to my monitors. This setup has always given me a great picture even though it is not completely upcompressed. Using these settings and this art, the color lines on this map in red, light blue, yellow and purple all have a "color shift" to the left about 5 pixels. It makes it appear that the line is where it is in the file, but the color overlaying the line is offset to the left 5 pixels and transperant to about 50%. This occurs only when viewed on some TV's and NTSC monitors and projectors. The strange thing is, some monitors display the color aligned almost perfectly on these maps and other monitors and projectors show this "digital halo" of color shifting really bad. If I take the layered network overlays in these colors and color tint them to black or grey, white, light green, or even light orange, they no longer have the color shifting and the detail is perfect.
Is there any way to fix this problem? I have tried duplicating the sequence and setting the compressor to 8bit Uncompressed, and while my captured footage is not this compression, in theory the art should render at this higher resolution setting. This did nothing to solve the problem.
I also have tried using different Broadcast safe and Y/C corrector filters with different results. The Y/C filter allowed me to reposition the color problem and thus removing most of the problem, but also removing most of the color. Nothing else has allowed me to seemingly move the color into the proper possition.
What is causing this color shift on the displayed NTSC image?
In FCP 4.5 I can see my rendered video in the program viewer screen and besides the pixel compression appearing on the lines, overall the video looks great paused or even better when playing. Then you view it through my deck onto my Pro Sony NTSC 19" color monitor and it also appears great, with a slight color halo to the left of these colors, but the color in the lines are there. If you are a few feet from the screen and know what you are looking for you might see it, but doubtful. Then you view it using the same signal on a 17" Samsung TV and the color shifting makes the map and other art, like the clients blue logo, look horrible, with each color line appearing twice and offset left from each other as if you had double vision. Normally I would think it is the TV causing this, but then we tested this same movie on 2 differnt projectors. The $700 Epson projector displayed everything beautifully, again with only the slightest color halo to the left, but then the Panasonic $4000 projector made everthing in these colors look double vision again. What is going on???
One more thing to keep in mind, my color bars also show this problem with these colors as well as shot footage of these facilities. There are tall red poles in the shots and everything displays fine except for the red pole color looks like it's glowing off the pole to the left.
PLEASE tell me there is a solution to this.

I have tried Degaussing, using filters, changing cables, and testing other monitors and systems on these monitors, everthing I can think of to solve the issue. Is it FCPo or is it the monitors?... or is it a signal strength thing. Can monitors and projectors shift color when the signal is read from a DVD or Mini DV Deck? Is there a fequency difference (Ie: 75mgz or 80 mgz) that might be causing the shift in some monitors and not so badly in others. But if this was true, how would some DVD's (like Baby Einstein DVDs that use really bright colors) display red and blue perfect using these same player and monitor, while my projects is shifting color? Doesn't that rule out the signal from the DVD player if other DVD's do not have this issue?
I have uploaded the original art used, an exported .jpg file from the FCP timeline and sample photos of 2 different monitors to show to show this problem as best I can. http://www.smmlv.com/testproject/
Someone out there must have had this problem before. There's no way a color shift problem like this with Mini DV has gone on this long without someone seeing it.
One last thing about what I have tried... I do understand that with editing in Mini DV instead of uncompressed or HD video I lose a bit of resolution (4:2:2) and I see this compression occuring in some of the areas in the video where these problems persist. But, I did remake the art and rerender this project in an 8bit uncompressed settings and then displayed that up on the screen and I get the same color shift. I keep going in circles trying to find the culprit that is causing the delema.
PLEASE HELP! There are large tours going through our facilities daily and the large screen projector is displaying this problem as well. Let's just hope they don't notice and that their TV's at home or office does not display it on our final DVD's made.

How do I get Preview Slideshow to appear in external monitor/projector

In Preview in Snow Leopard, I could set up a slideshow and use it for presentations through an external monitor or on a screen using a projector. I did this by dragging the Preview window onto the external monitor and then clicking on View/Slideshow. A kind of poor man's PowerPoint presentation, but very quick to set up. Now, unless the displays are mirrored, as soon as I click on View/Slideshow, the slideshow is "sucked" back onto the screen on my MacBook, leaving the external screen blank.
I have found that there are alternatives to Preview available, like Xee, but with the Preview slideshow feature, only the pictures appear on the screen, with all the background being black, which looks more "professional".
Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to stop the Preview slideshow ending up back on the MacBook?
David

There is something terribly wrong with Lion's support for two monitors, compared to previous Mac OSes, and it looks like you have found another instance of that fact. Oddly enough it seems like QuickLook may work where Preview doesn't. Anyway, I have two monitors and if I move a folder full of images to the secondary monitor, then select the images and right click and then click QuickLook in the Contextual Menu, then click the full screen arrows and the play button, the slideshow will play on the second monitor. If I open the pix in Preview, move the Preview window to the second monitor, and select "Play Slideshow" it promptly moves everything to the main screen, ditto for clicking the full screen arrows within Preview--moves to main monitor and in effect turns off secondary monitor. So give QuickLook a try and see if that will work for your purposes.

HDMI output to monitor not displaying all colors

I am trying to use a second monitor on my Satellite S55t-b5152 and am able to get 1920x1080 output from the HDMI port through an adapter to either VGA or DVI into my external monitor, but with either adapter the colors look washed-out and not all the colors that are displayed on the internal monitor show up on the external monitor. For example the position indicator in scroll bar on some apps shows up on the internal monitor, but disappears when I drag that window onto the external monitor. I've tried multiple monitors and they all have the same symptom. I've investigated this some on external forums and it seems to be that the HDMI output under some conditions assumes that it is connected to a TV instead of a monitor and it limits the output color range. On some graphics drivers it is possible to override that assumption and get the full range output from the HDMI port. I haven't found a way to do that for the graphics driver on the S55t-b5152. Has anyone figured this out?

Satellite S55T-B5152
through an adapter to either VGA or DVI...
Just want to comment that I'm not at all surprised that an adapter does not produce true colors. I'm sometimes amazed they work at all.
Yours is HDMI 2.0 which complicates things still further.

Macbook vs. Macbook Pro Video output to a projector which is better?

OK, so I am having an argument with another guy about this. He swears that a macbook doesnt look as good as a macbook pro when being displayed on a projector.
My argument is: if you have and dvd, it will look the same when projected because the resolution is the same be it a MB or MBP. They swear it would look better because the MBP has a better video card than the MB. I wouldnt think this would make a difference because the output from the DVD is not that high (its not an HD signal) so at the highest resolution of the DVD, either MB or MBP could read this exactly the same. (I am talking DVI to VGA or Svideo on both MBs.)
So if its apples to apples (no pun intended) and both are connected from DVI to VGA (lets say) to a projector, they would both look the same...correct? Or are these guys right and the MPB would actually look much better?
Help me out peoples...
Oh and one of the guys swears up and down that S-video is better than VGA....I keep telling him NO, but he doesnt get it.

they will output video pixel for pixel identically. no worries. screen spanning has been around for 5+ years now, so even the "weakest" machines can do it admirably nowadays.
The screen image starts out on your video card as a digital signal. VGA is an analog signal. So you downgrade your digital (DVI) signal to analog (VGA) to get a picture this way. All VGA signals will look like crap (though they will of course look much better than s-video because VGA is a newer standard). You need to get a projector that accepts a digital input such as DVI, HDMI, or DisplayPort to have the best picture on whichever your machine is.
The only thing worse than this is using a DVI->VGA->DVI, which tries to convert a VGA signal back to digital DVI and degrades the signal further. It's like a xerox machine. Try to avoid digital->analog conversions!

Output to monitor options

My late 2011 13" MBP only has one TB output which I currently use (TB to hdmi adaptor ) for my samsung hdmi monitor but would like to use the TB out to connect to a TB HD that also only has one TB port. What are my options if any?
Many thanks
Dave

Thanks for your help, I was just referring to
>> Since Thunderbolt displays should always be at the end of a Thunderbolt chain, I'm not surprised that the display you're looking at has only one TB port.<<
It's not a TB Display as I said & understand that if it was why it would only have one TB port, but this point is a little redundant/confusing as it's not relevant to "this" conversation.
I have however looked at TB hubs & the Caldigit TB hub seems like a good option especially at below $200. --> http://eshop.macsales.com/item/CalDigit/TSUS60/
There also seems to be a much cheaper option ($58) USB to hdmi/VGA option both at OWC . This of course ties up a USB port but I might try this first because of price--> http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/VIDU2DVIA/

V210 won't output to Monitor

Had to replace my old v210 with a new one. The new one did not come with a video card or DVD-ROM, so I took them out of the old server. The DVD-ROM works fine, but I either get no output on the monitor, or if I do, it looks like a sync'ing issue (horizintal multicolored lines). The only difference between the old and new server - besides no video and DVD, is the new server is dual-cpu with 8GB RAM, whereas the old one was single CPU with 4GB RAM.
I cannot locate any information on Oracle's site on how to troubleshoot a video problem. I downloaded all the manuals they have at (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19088-01/v210.srvr/index.html) but nothing is covered in any of them.
During boot and diags, the monitor does come on as it polls the bus, but it does not stay on, or has horizontal lines. I'm posting the output of my POST and eeprom settings in hopes someone can help.

Why would you expect a monitor to show anything, when the new system is using its factory default configuration?
output-device=ttya
input-device=ttyaBy the way, that is the preferred method to administer those 1U systems.
Connect another system to the serial console port and set that system up as you want.
Did you even take the opportunity to tell the OS of the existence of that card? There isn't any Plug-n-Play as your personal Microsoft PC might have. You likely will need to do a reconfiguration reboot, then install drivers for the video card then more reboots. Have a Sun USB keyboard/mouse kit connected as well, else you may still never see any monitor output.
Go get the V210 documentation and use its guidance to set the system as you want it.

Jittery output image to projector

I am using the iMac video output to feed a 1x4 VGA splitter going out to 2 projectors (front & rear). The image on the front projector is jittery - the rear image is stable. This only occurs with the iMac. I've tested it with my Macbook and a DVD player and the front projector image remains stable - except with the iMac. I've tried using all the other outputs of the VGA slitter with no change. Any other ideas?

It would be easy to do this via a servlet but we want it to work offline as well as online. We don't want to display it in the applet as it doesn't contain a GUI and we want the interface configurable completely in HTML. Excluding these most obvious solutions, any other ideas?

Connected Monitor/Projector - Multiple Resolutions

Is it possible to have two different resolutions on a MacBook Pro and an external monitor? Right now, the MacBook always downgrades the resolution to match the video projector.

Hi otterit: In order to have independent resolutions, you need to set the external display to "extended desktop" mode. You can then set both monitors to their native resolutions.

Cheapest video output for monitoring

Hi
I currently have my final cut pro setup to output via firewire through my panasonic video camera and to my monitor.
I've decided its time to liberate the camera, and perhaps get something dedicated for conversion.
I don't need much, I'm not editing for broadcast or anything - just viewing dv through firewire mostly.
Is a canopus 110 the cheapest simplest way to go, or is there something else I haven't heard of?
Cheers,
Chris

Chris, there will always be something 'cheaper', perhaps something from Pyro, or you could undoubtedly find a no name brand that may even be the same product without the badge ... however, I would vouch for the Canopus ADVC110 as a robust device with a deserved reputaion for quality.
Cheers
Andy
