Question Connecting SD broadcast monitor with MXO2 LE Max

Greetings,
So I just rec'd my new Matrox MX02 LE Max and connected it - installed drivers off website tried to connect my SD broadcast monitor (via S video cable) and it appears that I'm getting no signal. FCP is not finding it when i connect. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any help here.

Hi -
After you installed the Matrox software, did you restart your computer?
Make sure you are connected via the host cable form the PCIe card and your Mac Pro. Is the LE pluged into AC and powered on? There is a small button on the back of the LE next to where the host cable plugs in. Press it and see if the blue LED is visible on the front of the LE.
Open System Preferences by going to the menu Apple Menu > System Preferences.
Do you see the Martox MXO2 Preferences icon in the "Other" section?
Open the preferences to configure your system.
Once you've done that, Open FCP and see if the Matrox Output options are there.
Hope this helps.

Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI

Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI in without any additional software or graphics adaptor. I have a 520-1070
HP - 23" Touch-Screen TouchSmart All-In-One Computer - 8GB Memory - 2TB Hard Drive ? I used a HDMI to HDMI cable and the monitor was not recognized.

Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 520-1070 Desktop Computer. As previously stated your computer Doesn't have a HDMI output, instead it has a HDMI input. This is designed to let you connect a game console, a DVD/Bluray player, etc. to use as a monitor.
If you wish to conect a second monitor to your computer, you will need to use a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or EVGA UV Plus+ UV19. Using an adapter like these with the touch feature of your computer may cause issues with pointer control and you may need to disable the touch feature to use "extended desktop".

When connected to lg monitor with hdmi cable i get no sound

when connected to lg monitor with hdmi cable i get no sound

The issue here is that HDMI cables, as the name indicates, carry audio signals to the monitor. Therefore if the monitor has no built in speakers then there will be no sound. If you have external speakers you can plug them into the audio out slot on the back of the monitor and the problem will be solved.
However, if the screen does have built in speakers you need to go Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Manage Audio Devices and set either your headphone jack or the screen to be the default device. And then you ca pick which device the sound will play from. Either yourlaptop speakers or whateer speakers are plugged into the laptop or the Monitor and whatever speakers are plugged into the monitor

How do I connect 2 external monitors with full HD to my MacBook Pro?

I would like to connect up my 2 external monitors to my MacBook Pro. But I want to have full HD resolution. I want to have the desktop stretched so I don't want mirror displays. What is the best way to accomplish this? Is there an adapter that I should use?

Thanks for the reply. Haven't gotten anything as yet. Just that I burned out my older PowerBook using it as a primary screen w/ a secondary 20" monitor. Would be nice if the MacBooks could be used as a CPU only, connect 2 different monitors, and use the LCD screen when portability is needed. But I suppose that is why Apple makes different types of computers. I know I can rig the video SCSI cable to bypass to LCD screen and use the other built-in monitor. But there goes the warentee and any kind of AppleCare... not that I have ever used it, (until a day after it has expired!)
But thanks for the feedback. Your reply is what I expected. Being that I am a mercenary graphic designer and need to be able to work whenever, and where-ever I need to, the MacPro is not my hardware of choice. As well, I don't have $4000 in my budget. But man do those machines rock! Just think of what NASA could have done with one of those in 1969 when we were going to the moon! But now that the U.S. has decided that manned space travel and even scientific space exploration is not worthy of having a budget, the MacPros are religated to creating new episodes of Jersey Shores!
Thanks again for your feedback!

Connecting two Acer monitors with VGA and DVI output to my Macbook Pro (mid 2010)

Hi All,
I need to connect 2 Acer monitors that have both VGA and DVI ports to my MacBook Pro. What's the best way to do that?
Thanks for your help!

hey! Thats normal for notebook! That actually happens to almost all of us - as there are a small fraction of people with two and more thunderbolt displays or with newest rMBP and external multi-monitor setup.

Connecting to PC Monitor with KVM Switch

I'm still setting up my new MacBook Pro laptop. I thought it would be nice to take advantage of my 21" PC monitor while I'm at home, so I purchased my first KVM switch.
I plugged everything in as instructed, and it appears to be working at about 75%. In other words, I can use my mouse and keyboard with my PC just fine, and when I click the Scroll Lock key twice, the monitor shifts to Apple mode; it has the same bluish background my laptop does.
However, it doesn't display anything I see on my laptop's built-in monitor - the menu bar, open programs, etc. Curiously, it displays one folder, titled "untitled folder 3." My mouse works, though there's nothing for it to manipulate, save one empty folder. I can't tell if the keyboard works or not. The trackpad that's built into my laptop also works on my PC monitor. In other words, I can move the cursor on my larger PC monitor with either the mouse or the trackpad.
Next, I reversed the wires, plugging the PC into the KVM node that had formerly connected to my MacBook Pro and vice versa. The results are pretty much the same, except that now when I toggle to Apple mode, my mouse moves the cursor on the laptop's built in monitor, not on the larger PC monitor. Also, my MacBook told me it didn't recognize my keyboard, so I replaced it with a Mac-compatible keyboard. (I learned how to do the hot key trick so I can toggle by hitting the CTRL key twice.)
So my KVM switch is obviously almost working. I just have to convince my laptop to ignore its built in monitor and display everything on my PC monitor, not just one empty folder. Can anyone tell me what's going on, and how to fix it? Thanks.

Connect 2 externa monitors with different resolutions?

Is it possible to oonnect 2 external monitors, with different resolutions to a mbp pro?
I've read some about the "matrox solution", but that one requires that the monitors uses the same resolution.
And, just to be clear, I don't want to just duplicate the screens, one should be primary.

You may want to phone OWC and ask whether what you want to do is possible if one monitor is connected to the mini-Displayport and the other is connected to a USB port using this adapter:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/VIDU2DVIA/
Note that the OWC adapter, like most USB video adapters I've seen advertised, is limited to a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200, so you won't want to use it with a monitor whose native resolution is higher than that.

Connecting a regular Monitor with DVI

I'm wondering if I can connect a pc-monitor to the apple TV using a HDMI-DVI cable?
Instead of using a TV I want to use a pc-monitor with DVI input.
Is this possible or do I have to connect really a TV?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
There would be a couple of issues to overcome. One is already mentioned by JG, HDCP is often not supported by DVI, you would need to check. Then there's a resolution issue the GPU of the tv may not support the native resolution of a large monitor, also your picture may or may not fill the screen and WS tv is 16:9, WS monitors are typically 16:10. Finally DVI doesn't carry audio so you would need to take care of audio in another way.
It's not impossible, there are those that use them with the tv, but you would need to check your particular monitor would work.

Connecting a Broadcast Monitor

Hello,
I'm sure this post MUST exist in these discussions, but I seem hopeless at searching. I'm looking for a way to connect a Sony PVM-20L1 to my Intel Mac Pro for use with FCS. I assume using the Y/C input is best, but how does it connect to my Mac Pro? Ok, I know this is probably a really dumb question, but I don't know the answer.
Also, I'm using this page http://www.lafcpug.org/phorum/read.php?11,152712,170810 (further down towards the bottom) to calibrate the monitor. Do those instructions look adequate? Anything to add?
Mainly, I'm just previewing my titles, but I want to eventually get better at color correction.
Thanks,
Lawrence
PS, sorry, but I don't know how to insert a hyperlink into text here either!

Going off previous advice, I got the PVM because my main concern was monitoring my titles, but I wanted to be able to accurately monitor color in future. I suppose I should have looked into the resolution more.
Yes, the PVM has S-video inputs, but no component. I am using the HVX200 for a couple of reasons. . . one is future-proofing as I will have very little which will actually require HD initially, but the second reason is that I really like the DTE capabilities with the Firestore. And, everyone seemed to rave about it as I was moving from a serious hobby to a business, this would let me grow my skill set into this (I do know that the learning curve will be very deep).
So, to use DVCPRO50, I would have to down-res for the monitor? Would I be able to do that using the Intensity Pro (it does say that it has S-video)?
Thanks for all the help and suggestions guys, I know I'm just a noobie at all this, but I appreciate your help and suggestions.

Connecting Dell WFP3007 monitor with Lenovo T430s

Hey guys,
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T430s with a Nvidia 5200M graphics card and I try to connect that system with my 30" flatscreen with max. resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels (Dell WFP 3007). Unfortunately it is not working, but I thought the Nvidia 5200M would support it. I also have the dockingstation "Mini Dock Plus Series 3" with 2 DVI and 1 VGA port which supports 2 external monitors.
Since my 30" Dell monitor is > 8 years old it only has a DVI dual link output. So I guess I have to try an adapter that converts DVI dual link signal into DisplayPort (for the docking) or mini DisplayPort (for the T430s). Does anyone know if this works out anyhow? Is it important that the adapter is active or passive? Could I use this Apple adapter for my reason >> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-adapter ?
Kind regards,
Inge

I don't this is the right board to post that kind of question. I suggest to post it under "T400 / T500 and newer T series ThinkPad Laptops". Done
In any case, you say "it is not working" without being more specific. What exactly happens, after you attached the external display and pressed fn-F7?

Closed lid, connected to external monitor with no image...

So I followed the directions on Apple support regarding setting up a Macbook Pro (Early 2008) to an external monitor. I'm using a Gateway FPD2275w (if that helps) connected to the DVI-VGA adapter, or whatever Apple calls it. I'm using a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and have set the option to wake the Mac from sleep with them. I've set the display to mirror, though it doesn't seem to matter what I set that option to. WHen I close the lid the Mac goes to sleep and the external display goes to sleep as well, but when typing on the keyboard it shows on the screen, when I open it up again. Any thoughts?

You must also have an external USB or BlueTooth keyboard connected, not just a display. Alternatively, you can try the third-party utility InsomniaX - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

External Monitoring with MXO2 Mini not working

OK, I chose the Matrox 1080i60 Sequence Preset. And then I import and use AVCINTRA P2 footage. When I put it into the sequence...I see the clips on the timeline, but nothing in the Program monitor, nor my external monitor. I press play...nothing happens. The footage works fine in an AVCIntra sequence...but not a Matrox MXO2 Mini sequence preset. Any idea why?

Sorry for the dumb question - connecting to external monitor

Ok, so I have a MacBook Pro 15". I want to connect it to my 23" HP L335 LCD monitor (which I believe has VGA and DVI-I connections). I'm generally pretty tech saavy but I keep seeing DVI-D vs. DVI-I and I know DVI is better than VGA but I never see DVI-I mentioned in the cables to connect my MBP to the monitor (I'm also not sure which port is on this... DisplayPort or MiniPort or whatever). If someone could let me know what it is I'm looking for that would be great!

Which model of MBP do you have, rtr12rtr?
If it is one of the "unibody" models, sold since late 2008, it will have a "mini Display Port", and you will need a "mini-display Port adaptor to DVI adaptor" to connect it to a Single Link DVI-D cable that connects with your display. (one usually comes with your display, so check the packaging if you haven't noticed one - the link is just for illustrative purposes - I know nothing about the quality of that particular brand).
You won't need a DVI-I plug on the display end, as it just has a few extra pins to receive an analog signal. You will be sending only digital signals from the MBP so it won't miss the analog pins. The Apple MDS to DVI Adaptor only has holes for a DVI-D cable, so a DVD-I plug won't fit at that end. See http://www.datapro.net/techinfo/dvi_info.html#Page06 for a good illustration of the different DVI plugs.
If it is one of the "pre-unibody" models, dating from before October 2008, then you won't need an adaptor at all as the computer has a regular DVI-I port. Just use the same DVI-D to DVI-D cable that you would use to connect to the adaptor in the later models. (A DVI-I cable would work just as well in this situations, as the earlier MBPs have a DVI-I socket, which can accomodate the extra analog pins, but it won't make any difference to the picture)

Connecting Flat creen monitor with saudio speakers to B/W G3

I have connected a HP 17" Flat Panel Monitor to my old standby B/W G3 PPC with its one little speaker on the front panel. The monitor has two built-in speakers but do not work. Does anyone know if or how I can activate the speakers in the monitor?

Hi, Darrell -
...what my daughter did with my B/W, which was CONNECT another cable to the B/W from the headphone jack to the headphone jack of the monitor.
Every monitor I've had that connected via VGA and had built-in speakers also required a separate audio cable, connecting those two ports ('audio out' on the Mac, 'audio in' on the monitor). Most, if not all, of those monitors came with such a cable to facilitate the connection.
How would you connect a monitor to a Mac Mini, which does not come with a monitor. What would one do if a monitor that was purchased specifically for the Mini and came equipped with speakers, not use the monitor's speakers.
The user would need to connect a separate audio cable between the Mac and the monitor.
Apple has no way of knowing in advance how the purchaser wants to use audio from their Mac. Some folk are content with the limitations of mono from a small (not very good) built-in speaker; others, probably most, want more. "More" can be speakers in a monitor; a dedicated speaker system, ranging from low-end to high-end; headphones; or even using an existing audio system. The answer is to keep the audio separate, by providing a separate audio 'out' port usable for all of those. This has been consistent for Macs for many, many generations.
One distinct advantage of this is when a cable is plugged into the audio 'out' port, the internal speaker is disabled. This effect would be difficult to achieve if the audio was slaved into the monitor's cable.
Of course, for some audiophiles and MIDI users that is not sufficient for their needs, and so there are 3rd-party PCI cards that can be added to provide better audio quality and performance.
