PS3 to 27" iMac Questions

Hi, I currently just bought a new 27" iMac.
-Is it possible to hook up my PS3 to my iMac considering that I have just ordered a HDMI ti Mini Display adapter?
- Will the display out be in HD while watching HD movie on my PS3 Bluray player?
- Does games look 1080p?
- How do I switch between MacOSX display and PS3 display?

You want a product called 'Dr.Bott Digital Video Link' for the 27" iMac
This is a POWERED adapter that will convert HDMI to a Min-Display input
It allows you to play items like PS3/XBOX360/Blu-Ray on the iMac 27"
As said though it will cost you around $150-200. There are a few companies
making these however I believe Dr.Bott is currently the only one available.

  • Connecting a PS3 to my IMAC G5

    Anyone knows if it is possible to connect a PS3 to an IMAC? My assumption is that I could connect it if I could find a mini display to HDMI adapter. Any thoughts? Recommendation?

    I want to watch my blue ray on my ps3 through the iMac 27 new generation.
    how can I do that?
      thank you

    Looks like you plan to use ps as a transport and iMac as an external display? First of all you need Hdmi to Display port converter or cable. The rest should be easy.

  • Is there a way to connect PS3 to my iMac 21"?

    HI,
    it seems there is no way to connect my PS3 to the IMac 21"? Anybody can help? Thanks

    Hello,
    I think I read the PS3 only does VGA or such? If that'ds he case no, it'd need a MiniDisplay port.

  • Converter to ps3 to my imac

    i know theres tv converters like eyetv but does anyone know another converter for video game consoles, im trying to connect my ps3 to my imac so i dont have to buy a hdtv, if anyone can help me, thank you.

    Sounds like the AV360 is faulty. Raise a support call with Belkin. Mine stopped working a few days ago and since the product has a "lifetime warranty", they should be able to replace it. They had replacement stock in Australia (where I am) but this might be hard in other parts of the world since they stopped manufacturing these in 2010 (I think). When you raise a support call, the model number is Part # F2CD007 :)

  • How to play PS3 on new iMac?(imac as a display)

    Hey All,
    I bought the new iMac on late 2012, it's a 27" one, it only has thunderbolt ports, no mini display ports like the older ones
    Altough I'm too busy I'd love to play PS3 once and while, just too lazy to hook up with a huge TV, so I'm wondering
    how do I play PS3 with my iMac?  I'd like to know what kind of other equipments/cables I need to buy with this new iMac
    Much appreciated!
    Roger

    You can't do that. Macs with Thunderbolt ports can only be used as an external display for other Macs with Thunderbolt. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
    Unfortunately, the Target Display mode of the iMac only works with Thunderbolt (in the case of Macs with Thunderbolt) or Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cables, so it's not compatible with any adapters. As a PlayStation 3 hasn't got a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort connector, you can't connect it to the iMac

  • A few questions about using PS3 with 27" iMac display...

    Hey people, I had a few questions about how I could possibly get my ps3 connected to the iMac's 27" screen. First of all, could you guys list some adapters that would be able to convert the HDMI to Mini displayport? That would be great. The only one I know of is that Dr. Bott Digital Video link.
    Okay secondly, I was wondering if I do get the the ps3 connected with the iMac's display with an adapter to convert HDMI to mini DisplayPort, would it be in HD? Would I be able to play ps3 games or watch blu-ray movies in 1080p HD format?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    This has been asked a number of times here since the intro of the 27" iMac. The answer is very expensive US$149 or more converters and sometimes even more expensive to maintain the resolutions that you seek.

  • How to connect my PS3 to my iMac (Late 2012)

    Hello every one, I have a question. Can I connect my PS3 to my late 2012 iMac with 27 inch over HDMI?
    I looked in the internet but I only found such Adapters, for the older iMac's.
    If I can do this, please let me know what I need and where I could get this Adapter or Device.
    Thank You.

    You would need a display port to HDMI adapter. One of the newer features (which the 2012 iMac has) is that it can display this type of content like a DVD player to the iMac.

    Use the above link to review that item. It also has a DVI adapter that you would not use. But the display port to HDMI is the correct item. Then you connect the PS3 to the hdmi on it. I don't think it would passthrough audio though so you would have to figure something out for sound.

  • PS3 connect to IMac 27 late 2013

    I am considering purchase an Imac27 (late 2013), nevertheless due to lack of space I intend to connect the PS3 to be displayed the IMAC 27 late 2013
    Questions:
    1. Can IMAC 27 ( late 2013) be used as an PS3 display ?
    2. If the answer to the first questions is yes, what type of adaptors/cables are needed to a sucessfull PS3/Imac connection
    3. Can IMAC ( late 2013 version) display PS3 games without losing any resolution or image quality ?

    I'm not sure of anything.
    You're there and know or can look and see what the socket in you wall looks like. As you are in Italy I assumed your outlet looks like
    or if grounded there will be three pins.
    Your Mac seems to have this type of plug on it. The UPS you are showing does not have this type of socket.
    If you're in Italy it would seem the best thing is to buy from an Italian for at least European distributor. They should know what you need and have it.

  • Playing my ps3 with my imac??

    i have purchase my IMAC 27 inch sometime last year. I recently bought a cable(MINI displayport to HDMI adapter) in which i thought that would help me connect to my Ps3 but it is not working is their any other way to do this???

    I had exactly the same experience on the Frontrow. It took like 5 minutes until frontrow actually responded. During the unresponsive time, I wasn't able to access security pane at all. After I open the recently updated itunes and I found out that I had to press accept the agreement term, Frontrow just came out with many other actions that I haved pressed on the remotes. I guess Frontrow will not quickly respond if you don't have itunes and other programs running. And in my case, since I didn't sign the agreement term, the frontrow just didn't respond to anything I pressed on the remote.
    As a new mac user, it was frustrating at first, especially when you've just open the imac right out of the box. Having these little problems actually ruined my first impression quite a bit. After having it run flawlessly for almost a week, my good impression started to come back though. Now I really like it!

  • Ps3 connection to imac

    hi guys!do you know if i could connect my imac (through the hdmi cable) with the ps3 and use the imac as a screen to play games??
    many thanks!

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Unfortunately at this time there is no way of getting HD into the iMac like that. Your cheapest option would be to add a Standard Definition TV tuner which would also have an S-Video input, but there may be some lag.
    Elgato used to sell their +EyeTV 250+ and +EyeTV Hybrid+ products quoting this feature but no-longer mention it on their website:
