Splitting video signal to Apple 30" & a Plasma (FCP)

Hi there,
I have a client who runs FCP on a G5 with a twin screen screen setup (2x23")
They want to now introduce a Plasma display so their clients can see whats on one of the 23" screens replicated onto the Plasma display.
I have found some DVI splitter devices by searching google and they seem to be able to do the job, however they dont' seem to be able to handle the resolution of the 30" Cinema, and the client wants to be able to change to 30"'s soon.
Has anyone had any experience of doing this and can offer me and suggestions ?
Many thanks,
Mark.

Need to split video signal to both HDMI and VGA

I am hosting an event and the venue has given me a really tough challenge. I need to send a video signal from my Macbook Pro 15"(the highest spec, latest model) to a projector that only accepts VGA and to an A/V system that only accepts HDMI(this A/V system broadcasts the signal to several flatscreen TVs throughout the venue). Here are my two ideas, can anyone tell me if this will fail and if so, are there any other solutions?
Idea 1: Use a mini-display to VGA adapter, split the VGA cable with one VGA cable going to the projector, and the other VGA cable going through a VGA to HDMI adapter to the A/V system
Idea 2: Use a mini-display to HDMI adapter, split the HDMI cable with one HDMI cable going to the A/V system and the other going through an HDMI to VGA adapter to the projector
Idea 3: Rent another projector that accepts HDMI, use a mini-display to HDMI adapter and split the HDMI cable, with one going to the projector and the other to the A/V system(this is the most expensive option and I want to avoid this if possible)
The event is tomorrow evening, and I need to buy these cables today if possible. Would love to hear any ideas, thanks!!!

Yes. All video and audio outputs are always active.

I can't get a video signal on my LG amplifier from my Apple TV

I can't get a video signal on my LG amplifier from my Apple TV

You'll need to provide a bit more information, the amplifier only passes video to a connected TV.

Apple TV Incompatible video signal has been received.

I recently purchased an Apple TV. Worked fine last night. This morning it won't work - The TV says an Incompatible video signal has been received. What do I do?

I would start pulling the plug for 30sec and let it reboot to see if that fix it

Connecting a Video Splitter to Apple TV

Hi, I'm new on this.
I bought a Tripp-Lite HDMI over Cat5 Extender (http://www.tripplite.com/sku/B126-004/tab/reviews) to split my Apple TV video signal into 5 TV's but when I connect them together, I can't get any signal working I connect the Apple TV to the splitter and the splitter shows that it's getting the signal but then the signal is not geting on the local TV. If I restart the Apple TV I get to see for a moment the Apple logo, but as soon as it finishes turning on, the signal goes away. I've tried this splitter with Sky TV System and it works perfectly. So I'm guessing the issue relies on the Apple TV. For some reason it's cutting off the signal.
Does anybody knows of some settings i have to change on the Apple TV to make it work?
Thanks

1- Please clarify the setup: Libratone speaker to airport express: 3.5mm mini jack cable or wireless?
2- Sound control using airtunes from Apple TV? By what device do we control the volume?

Possible to split Audio/ Visual for apple tv

Hey,
I have a projector in my room and was wondering if i could airplay movies through itunes to the apple tv (connected to my projector) and then keep the sound coming out through the headphone port (the speakers on the projector are average). As i have my laptop and stereo on the other side of the room and dont really want to have cables running along the floor. If this isnt possible are there any cheap alternatives.

I was considering buying an Apple TV to do something similar, but after looking everywhere, it seems that iTunes on a Mac doesn't allow to Airplay Videos to multiple Airplay devices or split the Audio and Video signals (where one device would be AppleTV for the video portion, and other devices would be an Airport Express connected to my sound system for the Audio portion, or to play the Audio part on my own Mac - like you want to do).
I don't know if it can help you, but I can describe the system that I am currently using, which works, but is not as elegant:
About 4 years ago, I have purchased and installed on my Mac a software called Airfoil (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/). This capture software allows you to connect any numbers of Airplay enabled devices to your Mac via Wifi, and stream the captured content (Audio and/or Video). They have been doing this, way before iTunes could give you that capability for the Audio stream. This allows me to stream music from my Mac, with the Pandora app, for example (not just iTunes) to the multiple Airport Express I have distributed thoughout the house, where each AE has a differnet sound system connected to it. The beauty about it, is that Airfoil ensures that they are ALL in synch - which is not always the case with the multiple speakers function which is built-in iTunes.
Airfoil also comes with a built-in Video Player that can capture a DVD on your Mac, or any Web application like NetFlix, Hulu, etc, and output the video throught the Mac display port (where your projector could be connected), and at the same time stream the Audio portion through all your Airport Express (or any Airplay-enabled devices, like an Apple TV). Airfoil also have an App on the iPhone (Airfoil Speaker), where you can stream the Audio from your Mac to your iPhone or iPad. They also have Airfoil for iPhone, where any Audio playing on your iPhone or iPad can be steamed throughout the house via Airplay.
In summary, for the Video feed, I have my projector connected to my Mac on one side of the room (using a mini-display to HDMI adaptor). For the Audio feed, I have an Airport Express connected the sound systems accross the room (could be an Apple TV), or iPhone or iPod Touch.... Airfoil on the Mac ensures that the video stream to the projector is in synch with the Audio stream to the sound system(s) - so that the viewing doesn't look like a badly translated Japenese movie... :-)
The only draw back to that system, is that it requires a lot a CPU from my Mac for Airfoil to capture, slip everything, synch and stream to the Airplay device(s) - and have noticed that the Mac CPU fans run to high speed after half an hour or so into the movies. It works great, but I have the (bad) feeling that it stresses the CPU/GPU of my Mac, and will shorten its life over time. That is why I would have preferred a $99 Apple TV to be able to do the same thing - but apparently not (as of yet).

Sony HT-SS2300 Home Theatre System Problem w/Video signal on TV Monitior

My Panasonic HD/Plasma TV will not pick up the HDMI video signal coming from the home theatre system. The TV monitor picture blinks in and out. I have a Comcast HD box (Motorola) What do I need to do to fix. I had the HDMI cable from the Motorola box to the HDMI Sat In connection. I then ran a HDMI out connection from the Home Theatre system to the TV HDMI in. Is ther a work around?
I also purchased a Samsung blue ray disc player. Can I still use the HDMI connection to the Home Theatre system from the Blue Ray HDMI and the the HDMI out to the HDMI input to the TV? This is getting confusing?
Please help.

Ok I feel your collective pain, really. We have apple tv 2 with optical out to amp and hdmi into the tv. My wife and I both have iPads, iPhones, Mac book pro etc. sometimes the volume control would be on apple remote (at bottom, left to right slider) and we would be punching the air saying how much we love this technology. And then.......often the volume control would disappear then we couldn't get it working at all today. I have just gone through all our devices and changed the apple user name and password to my wife's user name on iTunes.....BANG.....everything is working perfect now. We have each others iTunes and apple tv now on all remotes WITH volume control. This would explain why it was so intermittent. Try this and see if it makes a difference. Even if you have a device, say iPad, that you didn't think you would use as a remote, make sure you put in the same apple I'd and password across all devices. To change it on iPad go to settings then music or iPod on ipad1 and use the same username.
Good luck and happy tunes.

So what is it Charisa, Final Cut PRO or EXPRESS?

If you are using PRO then what else do you have plugged into your Firewire bus? AJA's external boxes do not play well with others on the same bus. They have to have one all to their self.
Also, do you have the latest AJA drivers?

Splitting video in events

Have just loaded i life 08 and successfully imported my first video from my cam corder. I have watched all the video tutorials. My question is, I want to split video footage and create an additional event. However if I highlight the start of the second event and then go to file drop down to split event before selected clip it is grayed out and can't be done. Any body have any Ideas what I have done wrong.

iDvd is a DVD authoring app. It doesn't edit video footage. You may want to post the question in the iMovie forum. That way it will get the attention it deserves. < moved by Host >
Suggestion:
Step 1. Start with the iMovie Tutorial here:

Step 2.
and then watch the iDvd Tutorial:

Try VLC Player.
Mirroring of the DVD Player app video output is not supported.

Why is local video streaming to Apple TV jerky?

Video streaming to Apple TV (v 3) has always been smooth. No matter what the online source -- from YouTube to Netflix -- the video is consistently good. Video streamed from Macs, though, is jerky to the point of unwatchable. Even when I stream it from a a Mac connected by ethernet with wi-fi off, the result is unwatchable. I cannot think what the problem could be. My wi-fi signal is strong (from two bridged Apple Extreme units) so when I stream wirelessly network shouldn’t be the problem, and I’m just a few feet from both ATV and AE.

Seems that if it's network related, this is going to be a hard nut to crack. I assume you can bring your Airport Extreme in to be checked out, but if you are using another brand of wireless router, you won't get much help there. I know wireless interference can play havoc with signals and one of the things I'd check out with some sniffer software is that possibility. Just sitting here in my kitchen I can see signals from 15 different wireless routers in my neighborhood. Using 2.4 GHz channel selection can make all the difference between good and poor performance. Granted those 15 access points in many cases aren't close enough to interfere, a couple are and I've seen performance on my Macbook Pro suck sometime because a close by wireless router pops onto or close to the same channel I'm on. That's a lot why I bought an Airport Extreme and use the 5 GHz side as much as possible. In the case of my Apple TV and all my Apple devices, I run on the 5GHz side. Signal strength is good and when I get the slow downs when using Airplay, the reboots of the streaming devices usually resolve the issues.

Keynote video signal drops out

Keynote 4 video signal drops out during presentations where we are switching between two different Apple Computers (one G4 and one Intel). Both machines had previous versions of Keynote on them and over a period of time never had a signal drop out condition. Sounds like new version problem.
Any input appreciated.

I have two laptops each with their video out adapter connected and then cabled to a switch box where the big monitors project the signal of the laptop that the swtich box is set to. Like channel selection. Previous versions of Keynote were never a problem and I mean never. The signal came right through but now with Keynote 4 the signal drops out even tho the laptop is still active and apparently sending a signal through its video out connection. I have to hit escape and get out of keynote and then go back to PLAY for keynote to once again send that signal.
