VGA to SCART Cable

Hi. My TV doesn't have VGA or DVI input. It only has SCART. Can somebody please tell me if MacMini will work with VGA to SCART cable?
Thanks

Hi,
Based on the specs of the LG unit:
(a) SCART to VGA: Most likely the signal frequency on VGA port of a normal computer monitor does not match the signal frequency of the SCART port therefore you can't get the pictures/images.
(b) SCART to DVI: you need more than just a cable, you need a converter because SCART uses analog signals and DVI use digital signals.
Regards.

  • Mini-DVI cable and connecting via s-video to scart cable

    Hey I bought a mini-dvi adapter a while back and have just purchased a s-video to scart cable to connect it to my television but there is no picture showing just a blue screen. Any help would be gratefully received.
    Cheers
    Jon

    which adapter did you buy exactly?
    there is 3 for this series of macbook - DVI, VGA, & analog RCA - S-Video.
    if you bought the analog RCA - S-video, I belive the one for the UK has a different part #. you may have bought one for the States that may not support your standard.

  • Component Video to Scart Cable

    Hello
    Has anyone in the UK tried to connect an Apple TV to regular TV with Scart?
    Component Video to Scart Cables cabled can be bought for around £20, has anyone tried this with success?
    I'd welcome comments.

    I'm sure you're correct RC-R - didn't see your post until I submitted my second reply.
    I connect via HDMI/Component so have never tried a SCART solution for Apple TV, though if there was a cheap one that worked I'd love to know too.
    Keene electronics used to sell a lot of AV converter type things, but I've never used them - just remember they always had big ads in the Hi-Fi/Home Cinema magazines a few years ago.
    Personally I think that SCART cables and interfaces are the most confusing, cumbersome and clunky leads I've ever had the misfortune to use in the last 20 years or so. I absolutely hate them!
    Sometimes you can be lucky with things and they work - for example about 2 years ago I managed to make a Component to VGA lead for my old projector using CAT5 cable following an online DIY guide - I was lucky and it worked, but in theory conversion electronics would also have been needed apart from plugs and cable, but I'd read that it worked with my particular projector and that was far cheaper than buying the dedicated converter lead/box. Having said that I wouldn't fork out on an Apple TV without being confident it would work with my TV.
    AC
    I do think it's a bit of a shame they didn't have an S-Video or composite out on the Apple TV, but it probably boils down to protecting content sold at the iTunes store.
    It is unlikely that this kind of cable will work (for
    the reasons mentioned in my other post).
    A better bet may be the first video signal converter
    listed here. I have no experience with this
    particular converter (or any such units, being a
    resident of the USA) or the company in the link, but
    some folks in other similar threads have reported
    success with this or a very similar looking device, &
    its price from this vendor is indeed much lower than
    previously reported.
    The company is located in Kent, England & claims good
    phone & email support, which you might try before you
    buy.

  • Component scart cable

    Have a PANASONIC TX- 36PL30 36" which I think, but am not sure, has a "rgb scart".
    Does that mean I can use it with aTV, and would I need a "special" component to scart adapter for rgb signals, or is it ok with any brand as long as my tv has rgb scart input? Can I use component cables with an adapter that has red-white-yellow rca:s in one end an scart in the other? I reads that any rca:s goes with component jacks, but that might not be the case for adapters. Or do I better use one of those listed below on ebay, that has a real scart termination?

    Also, as the TV has a digital box which must be connected to the (only) RGB scart input (It seems to lose color when connecting it to the other scarts), is there a component/rgb compatible scart switch I can use to switch between the aTV and digital box? I know there are expensive adapters like Hama that converts component and has multiple scart jacks, but I'd rather go for cheaper and less bulky stuff if possible. Thanks for any input.

    SCART RGB input is not the same as component signal.
    SCART RGB is higher quality than basic composite (the yellow connectors) but not as good as component.
    Does that mean I can use it with aTV
    No.
    Would I need a "special" component to scart adapter for rgb signals, or is it ok with any brand as long as my tv has rgb scart input?
    I don't know of any cheap/simple adapters that work but you can get converters to change the component signal to RGB for SCART or composite and probably S-video. These converters are not simple connection 'adapters' and tend to be very expensive.
    Can I use component cables with an adapter that has red-white-yellow rca:s in one end an scart in the other?
    No that's for poor quality composite video (yellow) and stereo audio (white and red).
    I reads that any rca:s goes with component jacks, but that might not be the case for adapters. Or do I better use one of those listed below on ebay, that has a real scart termination?
    I cannot comment on the products listed.
    If you can find a user review that says these things convert component signal to SCART RGB then they might work, but as I said proper converters tend to be expensive.

  • TelePresence VGA to DVI cable and conduit

    We have a new CTS-1300 system with a presentation cable which has a VGA connector on the user side and a DVI connector on the codec side.  Currently the room has a 1 1/2 inch conduit installed under the floor between the conference table and codec.  The VGA to DVI cable that comes with the TelePresence system will not fit through the conduit so I would like to purchase a cable that has no end on it and pull it through the conduit then install the VGA connector.  Tripp Lite makes a cable similar to what we need called the Easy Pull but the cable ends are either both VGA or both DVI.  We might be able to find an adapter for one of the ends but that just adds another point of possible failure.  Has anyone found a company where they sell a cable similar to the Tripp Lite Easy Pull that is factory made with a VGA on one side and DVI on the other? One other thing to consider is the Cisco cable contains "mini" style audio connectors attached to it as well where the audio appears to be directly connected to the DVI connector whereas the VGA audio looks like it is coming out of the cable bundle.
    http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/product-series.cfm?txtSeriesID=126&EID=32

    Thank you for the information.  I no longer work at that company where the installation occurred so I can't test it.  But this information will be useful for future installations if I run into the issue again.

  • How to get sour to play through mini display via vga without sound cables?

    I know that many of you guys might tell me that this question is stupid or that it is impossible to do it but i run in to problems that usually the company that made the product can't asnwer it all the time. So here it is. I have the mid 2009 MBP 17 in. 2.8ghz Core 2 duo. I've been using a minidisplay to VGA cable to connect to a sony briva tv since i've had it. and most time i'd have to plug in the 3.5mm jack to get the audio working. but once just once my mac decided to give all the audio control over to the TV without the auxilary cable plugged in. See, i accidentally pressed play and i started to hear sounds. but it wasnt from my mac. and the volume was completely up to the control of the tv. it was weird yet convinent, but as i was checking the connection to see what the **** i did, i took it out of clam mode which swithch my resolution and reconnect the display with the sound having to go through the auxilary again. So if any of you have had this luck and know how to do it please help me out.

  • Going from DVI to DVI cable from VGA  to DVI cable problem

    Got a mini with the VGA adapter to DVI working with no problem. When I decided to hook up a DVI to DVI cable, I got no picture. I had to reach behind the mini, press the power button to put it to sleep, then press the power button again to wake up the mini again to get a picture. The monitor is a 20.1 inch AOC monitor. The picture is sharp in both cases. The DVI to DVI setup is slightly smoother.

    After I reboot I still get no picture. I have to reach behind the mini, press the power button to put it to sleep, then press the power button again to wake up the mini again to get a picture.

  • Yoga 13 HDMI connection to VGA or DVI cable

    Hi, does anyone know what kind of cable can support connecting the Ideapad Yoga 13's HDMI port to an external monitor with either a VGA or DVI connection? Maybe provide a link to Amazon to a page with a cable that supports this? Does it need anything more than the cable itself like a converter or something? Thanks.

    hi ScoobyDoo,
    Welcome to Lenovo Forums!
     That is going to be a Digital from the yoga to an analog VGA/DVI.
     this kind of conversion does not require a transcoder. so you can go ahead with Cable Coverters only.
    Here are some you might want to check:
    StarTech 6ft HDMI to DVI-D Video Cable M/M
    HDMI to VGA Adapter
    Black HDMI Input to VGA Adapter Converter For PC Laptop
    You can check this out on how to switch the display.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/multiple-monitors#1TC=t1
    Audio transfer will not work with this kind of conversion Normal HDMI out to HDMI in will transfer both Audio and Video to a TV.
    Hope this helps,
     Cheers!!

  • Vizio hdtv via VGA to HDMI cable - can't get correct resolution

    I'm trying to configure the resolution for a Vizio va22lfhdtv10t on a Mini. When I used a DVI to VGA adapter the resolution was very good at 1920*1080. Now that I'm using a DVI to HDMI cable it defaults to 1080p with 30hz refresh. Font resolution is terrible on this setting and only marginally better when trying the other resolution options. I have seen some posts about creating a custom resolution, but don't know how to do this, or if there is a danger of damaging the LCD with improper settings. Has anyone gotten this HDTV to work other than as a VGA display?
    Thanks!

    1920 x 1080 is the native resolution, so (a) I wouldn't try any other resolution, and (b) I'd ONLY use a digital input (HDMI).
    If you're getting crummy unsharp pictures, it sounds as if the TV's scaler is working. You need to look for a menu setting (on the TV) to turn off the scaler. It might be called something like "1:1 pixel" mapping, or "overscan OFF" or some thing similar.
    I see on the manual p.35:
    +4. Wide - The Wide option lets you determine how the image appears on the screen. Select Normal, Wide, or Panoramic.+
    Try those three. My guess is you want "wide" mode for a 1920x1080 feed.
    Also, H and V size and position can be adjusted (p.35/36) - maybe that will help?

  • VGA to HDMI cable??

    What cable do I need to connect my Acer Aspire One Model No. KAV60 notebook to view on my T.V.  My notebook has a VGA port and my T.V. has 2 ports I'm hoping one will work.  
    HDMI in 2
    HDMI 1/DVI  in
    any other suggestions on connecting my pc to be able to view on this t.v. or any others???

    They make cables but keep in mind they DO NOT work in most cases. Better bet is if your tv does indeed have DVI then do VGA->DVI

  • Vga to dc cable

    Can you connect a mac mini to a dvd player? If so i need an adapter cable so i can hook up my mac mini to a portable DVD player. It has to be vga to dc(9v) or an av cable. do you know where i can find one. i have searched google but i havent found any so far.

    It's not clear to me what you're trying to do. Do you want to use the DVD player as an external DVD drive? This won't work unless the portable DVD drive has a USB or FireWire port.
    Do you want to play a DVD movie in the portable player and have it appear on the screen that's connected to the Mac mini? This may be possible, but it's going to take an expensive analog to digital converter to get that to happen.
    Or do you want the Mac mini's screen to appear on the portable DVD player's screen? If so, what kind of "video in" ports does the DVD player have? (If any? I don't know why a device like that would have any.)

  • VGA to HDMI cable adapter

    Can I use this type of cable to connect my PC ( p6112p with Intel GMA 3100 ) to the HDMI input of my TV?

    Hi,
    From VGA to HDMI you need a converter to convert from analog signals to digital signals, not adapter. There are many around, the following product will do (with sound):

  • VGA Y-Splitter cable?

    I have one that I use on my desktop PC right now, for the same image doubled and ran across my desk so when I turn around I can still see my screen.
    Let's I ran I connected the DVI to VGA adapater to my MBP then connected that to the Y-Splitter cable to two monitors...well,
    1) Would it be safe?
    2) Tell me if I'm wrong - I would be able to have 3 of the same screens (including the MBP's) and then I would also be able to have a 2 screen-one desktop display between the MBP and one of the 2 monitors, and then a double of the 1st external monitors screen on the 2nd?
    Sorry if I confused anyone with #2, lol.
    Any experiences/opinoins?

    In theory, it should be safe.
    Are the monitors the same model/size? If not you might hav problems finding a compatible setting.
    Your second point would be correct.
    The only thing I could see being a problem is with the Y splitter, the monitors might not get enough power, so you could have display issues.
