Surround and displayport to HDMI adaptater

Hello every body !
Je suis sur le point d'acheter un mac mini serveur de 2009. Je souhaite le connecter au Home Cinema via un adaptateur displayport / HDMI.
J'ai lu que le displayport ne véhicule pas le son sur certains modèles de mac mini. Est-ce vrai ? Si c'est le cas, est-ce qu'une mise à jour est possible ? Quelles seraient les solutions ???
Thanks !!!

I read that the displayport does not carry audio on some models of mini mac. Is this true? If this is the case, does an update is possible? What are the solutions??

No update. It is limited by the hardware.

Differences between adapters? (MiniDVI- VGA/HDMI and DisplayPort- VGA/HDMI)

Hello everyone
I'm going to buy a new Late 2009 Mac mini, wich for the time being will be connected to my old 17 inches Samsung LCD using VGA (I know, it's not the best solution but I can't afford buying a new monitor now) and occasionally to my Samsung FullHD LCD TV. So here are my two questions
1) What's the difference between using a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter and a Mini-DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
2) What's the difference between using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and a Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter? Are both HDCP compliant?
I know these may be stupid questions, but I'm a ex Windows user and the "Macverse" is new to me Thanks

One important difference between the VGA versions of the adapter is that DisplayPort does not output analog video. As such, the adapter is expensive because it has a D to A (digital to analog) converter built inside of it. It may be more prone to trouble, but it is also able to be firmware upgraded, which has already happened one time. Anyway, I would tend to choose the DVI version of the VGA adapter if for no other reason than it being cheaper.
The difference between the DVI/HDMI adapters is not so big I think, so it wouldn't matter which was used to drive an HDMI display. Either port on the back of the mini will support HDCP, and that is important with HDMI.

I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire.

Can i connect a "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter" to my macbook pro and t.v without having to buy the hdmi adapter?

I have a macbook pro 13 inch running on mavericks 10.9.2 and i was wondering if i could just use the "Mini Display Port to HDMI Adapter" and connect it directly from my computer to my t.v? because i see a lot of people on youtube connecting the "hdmi adapter" to the computer first, then connecting a regular HDMI cord to the adapter, then lastly to the t.v........ Does it make a difference whether or not I connect a "HDMI Display Port" directly from the computer to the t.v without using a adapter to connect with a regular hdmi cord??? what is the adapter really for anyways???

eric199398,
without knowing precisely which computers the people on YouTube are using, it’s hard to say whether they’re taking unnecessary steps or not. You should be able to connect the Mini DisplayPort side of a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to your Thunderbolt port, and connect the HDMI side of the adapter to your TV’s HDMI port.

T430 1600x900 i5 Core: Mini DisplayPort To HDMI 1920x1080 TV Resolution And Sizing-Overscan Problems

Hello, and thanks in advance for any help. Also, my apologies if these issues have been previously resolved; I've spent 2 days searching for answers and none of my effort has resulted in a solution, either here or elsewhere.
I very recently for the first time connected my ThinkPad T430 2344-5GU (i5 core, native screen resolution 1600x900, Intel HD 4000 v9.17.10.2843, NVIDIA Optimus NVS 5400M v9.18.13.1100) to a Panasonic HD TV (native screen resolution 1920x1080) using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI connector, with the hope of playing 1080p movies on my laptop while watching them on the TV. This seemingly worked fine at first--both audio and video were present--but I quickly noticed that the image on the TV was, very slightly, larger than the image on the laptop screen (cutting off roughly 5% of the image on each of the 4 sides) and that the resolution wasn't 1920x1080. So I hunted for a solution.
Windows display properties were no help. In fact, as soon as I tweaked something there I lost the picture on the TV (the options available are "Show desktop only on 1" (the laptop screen), "Show desktop only on 2" (the TV screen), and "Extend these screens", which annoyingly turns the TV blank yet allows the cursor to to enter the TV screen depending on the chosen layout and the cursor's approach direction to the TV). So, from having a functional-if-slightly-oversized-and-lower-quality picture on the TV screen I went to nothing, at least for my desired use.
Further research led me to the Intel HD 4000 settings, but those didn't even show that multiple screens were in use when the TV is attached. Finally, I tried using the NVIDEA Control Panel, but although multiple displays seem to be supported the best I can do when cloning is have the screens' resolutions meet in the middle at 1440x900, which makes them both look worse than the original plug-and-play result described above. Heck, I went so far as to enter the BIOS and try every combination possible under "Graphics": no NVIDEA, Integrated, Discrete, each with and without "Auto Detect NVIDEA capability" enabled and disabled. I even updated the NVIDEA driver to their newest, a version not available at the Lenovo Support site. Nothing. And worse, ever since my very first tweak under Windows display properties I wasn't able to return to the original functional-if-slightly-oversized-and-lower-quality picture.
At this point I used a very recent image to return my system to it's Pre Original Tweak state (allowing for the functional-if-slightly-oversized-and-lower-quality picture originally obtained), which is better than nothing, I guess, but surely not what I'd expect from a higher end laptop.
Please, does anyone know if there's a way to connect my T430, native resolution 1600x900, to an HD TV, native resolution 1920x1080, while actually maintaining each screens respective native resolution and not losing any of the image? Thank you again for your time.
Edit: After more research I've fit the desktop image to the screen by adjusting the TV's "Picture/Advanced picture/HD size" setting from "Size 1" to "Size 2". Now my only question is if it's possible to somehow play a 1080p movie at the TV's native resolution of 1920x1080 or if I'm stuck with the laptop's navtive resolution of 1600x900.

Try grabbing the latest NVIDIA driver off of the NVIDIA website. It might help.
Extending it should also allow you to run the 1600x900 T430 screen plus the 1920x1080 TV screen each at their native resolutions.

27" cinema display and female mini displayport to HDMI cable.

Hi,
I need to connect my 27" cinema display to an AV amplifier. In order to do this I need to find a mini displayport cable with a female connector on one end (to plug in to the monitor cable) and a male HDMI connector on the other.
Does anyone know if such a cable exists? and if so where I will find it?
Ideally I would like to do this with just one cable...using adaptors, eg mini displayport to displayport then displayport to hdmi are an option, but not my first choice.
Many Thanks,
Mark

Dual screen with HDMI and DisplayPort

Hi all,
I have one question regarding my MSI GTX960.
Today I just received a DisplayPort>HDMI cable to connect my TV with HDMI.
So here is my configuration :
- GPU HDMI => Primary Screen HDMI
- GPU DisplayPort => TV HDMI
Here is my problem :
- When I boot the computer, the GPU DisplayPort takes priority over the GPU HDMI output which my primary screen is plugged in.
- Unless I unplug the HDMI cable from my TV (plugged to the DisplayPort of the GPU), it won't boot on the GPU HDMI output.
I tried all DisplayPorts to see if there was some priority but with no chance.
So I'm really disappointed as even if my TV is shut down, the computer will not boot on the GPU HDMI output and I can't access my BIOS from it (unless I unplug the DisplayPort cable before booting).
Is there a way to set default port or fix this annoying issue ?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your quick replies guys :D !

nope, this can't be changed its how its works
That's what I was thinking about and in fact I think it's more related to my TV as when I connect it while shut down I hear the connexion sound. It seems it is more in standby than totally shut and the GPU may have a signal from it.
Quote from: RemusM on 16-June-15, 00:43:16
The ports priority order is defined in VBIOS.
As Svet already mentioned, it cannot be changed.
Maybe having another DisplayPort for my primary screen would fix the problem ? What do you think about it ?

Mid 2010 Macbook pro - Mini DisplayPort to Hdmi issues

Hi there! I'm having some issues connecting my mid 2010 Macbook pro to my 32" Toshiba LED TV.
I'm running OS X Version 10.8.2 , as mentioned before, on the mid 2010 Macbook pro.
The issue which I have, is that when I connect my Hdmi cable to my minidisplay port through the adapter, I keep getting a blue screen popping up.
I am using a Startech MiniDisplay to HDMI Adapter Converter and ION 6FT Flat HDMI CABLE.
anyone with suggestions on help?

I had issues with getting my MBP to work with my Vizio XVT323SV via the RGB port. What worked for me was downloading SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com/indexSRX4.html) and setting up a custom 1920x1080 resolution using the values found in the Vizio user guide. Works like a champ now. Best shareware investment I ever made. Now I can watch my EyeTV recordings at full HD resolution.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
Sidebar: I also bought the Griffin mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable, but I can't get any signal at all via that connection. The Mac doesn't see the TV and the TV doesn't see a signal. Very frustrating. My RGB connection is good enough but I bet HDMI would be even better.

Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter ... yes or no

Hi
Is it possible to use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter like this one to connect the HDMI out port on my Nokia N8 to my 27" imac?

Thank you

You are right: Thunderbolt supports both Mini DisplayPort cables and adapters without any problem, but Mini DisplayPort does not support Thunderbolt cables.
If you have got an Apple display with Mini DisplayPort, you can use it with the new Mac Pro. Just use the Mini DisplayPort cable or adapter you need. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#22

2009 24-inch iMac 3.06GHz (EMC no. 2267). I don't get any audio when connecting my Sony HD TV to my iMac via mini DisplayPort. Is there a fix or hardware upgrade? I'm using a Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable w/ audio support.

You can connect the audio from your iMac to your TV using a mini jack (like headphones plug) to rca (regular red and white audio connectors used on every TV,DVD, etc) cable.
On your TV, you need to be able to set the audio for the HDMI input you will use to "analog" and connect the rca end of the cable to the analog inputs on your TV.

Connecting my macbook pro 13" to Sony bravia via mini Displayport to HDMI

Hi,
yesterday I bought a new LCD TV Sony Bravia KDL-32EX600 (Full-HD LED) that has 4 x HDMI inputs.
I also bought a mini Displayport to HDMI and HDMI to HDMI cable.
When I connect it to my computer, the screen goes blue for a second and it doesn't recognise any additional displays. There's also no video or sound in the TV, on the right HDMI channel. (I've tried every HDMI input and every channel)
I've tested the TV with another laptop that has straight HDMI output from the gfx card and it works perfectly.
I have up-to-date MacOS and I also upgraded my TV's firmware to the latest.
I thought that maybe the miniDisplayport to HDMI connector is broken but why does the computer try to do something when I turn on the correct channel on the TV?
I'm out of ideas..

Hi madhenry,
I know it's a month on from your post, but I thought I'd add that I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm trying to connect my new MacBook Pro (15" core i7) to my Sony Bravia KDL-40EX600 using a mini displayport to HDMI adapter. When I plug the cable in, the MBP screen goes blue for one second then goes back to normal, but the system just doesn't detect the external display.
I've tried the MBP on other monitors and it works fine, so there is nothing wrong with the adapter or cable.
I've also tried plugging two other Macs into the TV (a 2008 15" MacBook Pro and a 2008 MacBook) and the TV works great with both of them.
So, it seems there's something specific to the new MacBook Pros that makes them incompatible with the Sony EX600 TVs.
I just talked to AppleCare about it and after trying a few things (resetting the PRAM, etc.) I was simply told that there's nothing wrong at all with the Mac and that this is simply a "compatibility" issue that I have to put up with. So, it looks like we're out of luck until (hopefully) a new Mac OS update fixes the issue.

Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter by Belkin for iMac 2009 failed to work

This is an SOS message. I have purchased another Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter and I have iMac (27-inc, Late 2009) running OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10.1). I have carried out the connection of Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to LG Plasma TV Screen, but there is no sign of any of the equipment reading or aware of the connection. Is there anybody out there who can help me make it work? Also, why is that Yosemite - System Preference, click on Displays does not contain - Arrangement? I'll greatly appreciate any useful tips from the community or apple support team.

Eric has helped in providing in dept understanding around the subject matter, but unfortunately, it has not provided the solution to the problem.
The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter when connected to the external Plasma TV screen, nothing happens. The System Preferences was accessed -and the Displays monitor sign was clicked, but it only showed - Display/Colour, which according to the instructions / descriptions contain in the - Video Troubleshooting Internal and External Monitors literatures and video, there seems to be missing - Arrangement / or AirPlay from my OS X Yosemite version.
The above is the version of OS X Yosemite - showing on my *iMac when clicked on System Preferences, and as result I have not been able to make the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter to LG Plasma TV Screen to work.
My *iMac is -
iMac (27-inch, Late 2009)
iMac10,1
(10.10.1)
MB952XX/A
Running OS X Yosemite
When the above image is compared with the following image below, there is definitely something missing and it’s probably affecting the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter to work in my connection.
Questions:
How can I make my iMac 10,1 (27-in, late 2009, currently running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1) to have the above AirPlay mirroring or Arrangement to activate the connection?
Are there other ways I can make the connection to work?
Is there any body who has a similar iMac specs and OS X Yosemite who has overcome connecting to external Plasma TV Screen?

Mini Displayport to HDMI Adapter - Sound?

I have hooked up my mini by the Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter to my Philips FlatTV. Sound is only played by the internal mini speaker, not from TV.
According Apple Support the sound should be working on the TV when using the adapter. They reckon my adapter is broken.
I know that there is no sound from the Minidvi to HDMI adapter unless you use external audio cable, but with the Mini Displayport?
Has anyone actually managed to make this work?
Thanks!

As already pointed out in this thread, Apple currently do not support routing audio out via the Mini Displayport connector even though the Displayport specifications allow for this. Therefore a 'standard' Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter will not be able to provide audio since the Mac will not be sending it.
However many people have been disappointed with Apple's omission and as a result at least one manufacturer of adapters has developed a solution to workaround this.
If you look at http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&pid=5311&seq=1&format=2 you will see the 'standard' style Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter which due to Apple, does not currently provide audio. If you however look at this model http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&pid=6331&seq=1&format=2 then it gets round the problem by connecting to both the Mini Displayport on a Mac and the Mac's Mini TOS-Link digital output and then 'merges' them together before sending them out via a single HDMI cable. This would therefore provide audio to your TV.

Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter plays video but does not do Audio

Ok I was told by someone at the Apple Store durring my one to one secession that I could get a mini to HDMI cable and the video and audio from my laptop would be displayed on the TV.
This was the cable I was told to get http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0025V2VO0/ref=oxya_ohproduct
Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (female) Cable for Apple Mac
Now it displays the video on the TV but no audio.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_DisplayPort
Apparently it's the current range of MBP's that's the issue. In theory, the displayport standard supports audio.

HT4241 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, no sound

I've bought a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter when connected to my SONY BRAVIA, it only showed video, the audio sound still came from my laptop not from my tv? shouldn't HDMI support both audio and video

I believe the 2010 and newer ones support audio through the HDMI cable. Earlier MBPs will require one to tap the audio output port and run separate wires to the RCA audio input connectors on the TV. Also you might check your Sony user manual to make certain that you have it set up correctly as well as the MBP.
Ciao.
