Video external monitor possible?

is it possible to use external monitoring on a system with a video card?

Not from within Audition at the moment. It has been requested and, hopefully, as Audition becomes more integrated with Premiere Pro it won't be too long before we can monitor on an external video monitor.
The only way at present is to work your computer in dual monitor mode and place the video viewing pane from Audition onto the second monitor.

Can't connect to external monitor (possibly after Yosemite update)

I have recently updated my macbook pro to Yosemite. My external monitor (samsung 1080p tv) would connect fine using a hdmi before, but now its unresponsive. I have been into adobe premiere pro CC and been onto preferences > playback > then ticked my monitor but still no luck. I can't remember using the monitor since updating to Yosemite until now so im guessing this is what is the problem as was fine on mavericks. Any ideas? Thanks

Basically I have the same issue. I also suspected a software update (though I am using Mavericks). However, it does play with an older version of Adobe Premiere (CS 6). So I suspect that one of the manny updates to CC broke the connection. It's an important part of my workflow, so let me know if you find out anything. I don't have a solution right now.
Here was my complete post if it helps:

Automagically configuration of external monitor - Possible?

I use my laptop for everything, except server stuff. In the office I have an external monitor I like to use in stead of the laptop screen. Now, using Gnome I have to enable the external monitor, and disable the laptop screen before this works. Is it possible to do this a bit more automagically each time I connect it? Does not need to be gnome specific if there are other ways.
Cheers

On a eeepc with the Intel driver I have on my startup script:
CRT=`xrandr | grep "VGA1 connected"`
if [ "x${CRT}x" != "xx" ]; then
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off --output VGA1 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal
fi
You will have to find out what is the xrandr output at your system.
This works if the monitor is (or is not) connected, it doesn't try to handle 'hot' connections.

My macbook has problems streaming video when using an external monitor

I have a MacBook from 2007. I have a converter so that the MacBook can be connected to an external monitor, and have connected it to my TV. This works fine, but if I am streaming videos and trying to watch on the TV, the streaming becomes very choppy, almost like the wireless connection is too slow. If I unplug the computer from the TV, however, the streaming returns to normal. I previously connected to a TV with an S-video connection and the problem did not seem as prominent. Now I am connecting to a HD tv using an HDMI connection.
Any suggestions for how to alleviate this? I haven't updated or upgraded the memory or RAM, possibly that would help? Would the amount of files I am storing be causing the problem? I currently have 50 GB available.
Thanks for any help!

Make sure your Mac is set to a resolution and frequency that your monitor supports.
The other possibility is that your graphics card is fried, but that seems unlikely since your computer is new. Before too long, you should make sure your graphics card is OK using the Apple Hardware Test, but I'm not sure how reliable that is because it claims that my partially broken graphics card is OK.

External Monitor: Is this even possible?

I want to color correct using an external monitor. My set up is mini DVI out to VGA to S Video. Everything I've read, people get their video out by firewire to tape deck to monitor. Is my set up possible?

Your setup won't get you proper color. Because that DVI out is sending an RGB signal, NOT the original YUV signal. You either need to route thru a camera or deck via firewire (or ADVC-300).

Audio & video via HDMI to an external monitor with lid closed.

I would like to run a Macbook Pro Retina (2014) with the lid closed and all video and audio via HDMI routed to an external monitor (Samsung Syncmaster from 2010). Is this possible? When I try this, no sound is transferred to the external monitor and I cannot operate the Macbook Pro with the lid closed. As soon as I close the lid, it cuts the signal to the external screen.
I’ve tried looking for previous posts but they’re about MCP’s connecting via Thunderbolt or DVI. Any ideas?

Seems like there may be two separate questions here. Audio working in either configuration and video from HDMI when lid closed. First, you are doing this with the Mac running off of AC, not battery, right?
Audio:
Is the HCMI cable you are using able to carry the audio? Some cables don't.
The only way I've ever used external displays with lid closed is with the thunder port (or DVI) adapter, not with the HDMI. I see the specs from Apple:
HDMI video output
Support for 1080p resolution at up to 60Hz
Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz
Support for 4096-by-2160 resolution at 24Hz
So have you tried varying the screen res to determine the results? I can find no specs regarding what ports remain operational in clamshell. Like you, I would have assumed all of them.
I suspect only the thunderbolt port would support your desired config -- try a thunderbolt/hdmi adapter.
Finally, clamshell mode doesn't allow the MBP to cool efficiently. Heat kills electronics, so if it's too warm or the fans really kick in, you might want to reconsider this setup.

Video tearing on external monitor

I'm trying to get video playback on an external monitor which is connected via HDMI. It all works but the vsync signal seems to be coming from the internal monitor (laptop computer).
Is there any simple solution to this? The two monitors have the same refresh rate, but that seems to just make the tearing appear as a line the slowly moves up the screen. Is it possible to tell the application (totem in this example) which monitor to take the vsync signal from?
For what it's worth, I'm using intel graphics and the most of the videos I'm watching is being decoded via vaapi in totem (gstreamer).

*Everyone* will have this issue, regardless of hardware or driver. It's not possible to sync to two displays unless their timings are exactly the same. And by that I don't mean just resolution and refresh rate, I mean all timings.
nvidia-settings allows you to choose which display video should be synced to. The other display (unless it's completely identical) will have tearing. No way around it. I think the Catalyst Control Center has such a setting too, I can't remember, all I remember is my friend uses Catalyst and we were playing around a bit trying to remove tearing on his TV. No idea if open source drivers provide such a setting.

Bypass failed PAV (power analog video) to use external monitor?

"Patient" is a 7+ year old iMac DV 400 (CRT; slot-loading). It fails to start up. The LED in the power button lights briefly, it sounds as if the hard drive starts to spin up, and small patches of light appear in the upper and lower corners of the right side of the screen. Prior to this status, the display had been reduced in brightness for a couple of months. The day before it died, the image on the screen started pulsing at the sides and horizontal streaks flashed across the upper third of the image. I shut the machine down for half an hour then restarted and it was back to normal. The next day, the pulsing and lines returned; shut down and tried to restart in 1.5 hours, but no go (symptoms above).
I replaced the 3.6V lithium battery and reset the PMU/CUDA. No change. I am told that the symptoms are characteristic of a failed PAV board. I read in another thread here ( http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3110595&#3110595 ) that it may be possible to bypass the failed PAV and connect an internal cable (via an adapter) display (i.e., not using the existing extrnal VGA port). Here is a quote from the above thread (12th reply; "However, for those of us with tray-loaders iMacs that have failed video boards, you can simply disconnect the internal video connector. This connector is essentially a "VGA" cable inside the iMac case, but it uses the old-style Apple video connector. It is a simple matter to buy an Apple-to-VGA adapter and connect it to the internal video output and connect that to a VGA cable leading to an external monitor".
Is this possible with a slot-loading iMac? If so can someone please point me to instructions for doing so (ideally with photos/illustrations), or explain how to do it.
I will be very greatful for any help getting this iMac running again.

thanks for responses

Fullscreen video playback on external monitor (overlay problem?)

I want to watch videopodcasts via iTunes fullscreen on my external Monitor/TV. It works fine with Quicktime and WindowsMediaPlayer but iTunes doesn't play my Videos in Fullscreen on my external Monitor.
I had the idea it is because the overlay mode isn't siwtched on but I can't find where to setup the display mode of video playback in iTunes.
Can anybody help me?
Bernd.

oh, no...
i thouhght the iTunes Videoplayback would rely on Quicktime and thus it would be possible.
isn't there any other possibilty?

Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor?

Hi, I was wondering is it possible to Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor using iPad VGA adaptor?
Thx.

You'd need something to redirect the VGA signal to a DisplayPort connector on the iMac. Your other option is VGA is easily adaptable to S-Video, though its resolution is not as great as VGA and using http://www.elgato.com/ 's hardware for that. A third one is using a Remote Desktop app for the iPad. Several exist.

Is it possible to use an iMac as an external monitor for a MacBook?

What is the process (if any) to turn off the iMac's system and make it essentially an external monitor for the MacBook?

No, it's not possible. Your iMac simply does not have a "video in" port for the MacBook's "video out" port. While Mike N. (nahyunil)'s option may give the illusion that you have two monitors, it does NOT turn off the system on the iMac. The iMac must be on and fully functional for that option to work.

Satellite U305: cannot watch videos on external monitor running Vista with Dynadock

Hi Fellows,
I have one Satellite U305 running Windows Vista, I bought also one Dynadock VGA with external HP 20" monitor.
I have uppdated all Dynadock drives (Audio, Video, etc) to the latest version, but DVD Video or MPEG Video recorded with my camera is no possible to watch on extended monitor only in the primary monitor (notebook monitor).
For exemple my Toshiba DVD Player works normally on Notebook monitor but when I transfer the window to extended monitor, Toshiba DVD Player stops to work.
Video doesnt work on extended monitor.
Is it correct or Do I made something wrong configuration? Is it a bug? If it is a bug, how to solve this bug?
I am worry because I bough a big external monitor to watch some movies that I can not watch it.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Nilton

I am sorry that I have to tell you that mate, but it wont be possible to watch any kind of realtime content through your dynadock. It is not designed for that.
The USB-Connection has not enough bandwidth to transfer this amount of data that is needed to have a "real" dvi / vga picture on our monitor. It is just made for Office use, e.g. E-Mail, Word etc.
If you can, bring it back and look for another solution...

No video on dv4-2165dx but video displays on external monitor

I have a dv4-2165dx that has suddenly stopped showing video on the screen. I can see video on an external screen via VGA or HDMI output. When I turn the computer on, the screen stays blank for a few seconds but as the computer boots up, the screen truns a little lighter than the black color it shows when it is off. It seems that something is going on on the LCD since it turns some type of different color but (i.e. some type of energy has been put through the lcd) but I cannt see anything or use it at all. I have read several places where you can do hard restes, remove the battery, change the angle of the screen, etc - I have done all tips that I can find online and nothign works. I am at the point where I plan to try to replace the cable, adn possibly the inverter since the issue does not seem to be the video card given that it works on the external monitor. I have alos heard that there is a list of defective laptop models where HP would rfix the issue for free. Every link leading back to this list does not work anymore. ANy help would be much appreciated.

Hi @jsonadam
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a gran place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that your display is no longer functioning, When you power on your notebook the screens goes blank for a few seconds and when booting turns a little lighter and then goes to a black color the same as when it is powered off. Your secondary monitor is still displaying your screens. You have tried a hard reset but no change.
Here is a link to Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot
Should you require a replacement display and are interested in doing the repair yourself, here is a link to HP Pavilion dv4 Entertainment PC. Please note page 26 or chapter 3 page 3 for a list or replacement displays.
I hope this helps!

Can an iPad be used as an external monitor for DSLR video?

I am looking at purchasing an external monitor for my DSLR to assist with shooting video.
If I was to purchase an iPad, would I be able to connect it as an external monitor for live view while shooting video?
If it is at all possible then I'll definitely be purchasing it because that way I can have a number of uses for it and save money at the same time!

No.
iPad cannot be tethered to a camera.

Possible to connect an external monitor to HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

I have a HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC model # A1M02AV and it has a VGA port, one that looks like a phone/broadband cable port, and one that looks like a USB port but indented on either side at the bottom. Can I even connect an external monitor? How do I find out if I have more than 1 video card? Besides the usual USB/headphone ports, I don't have any other ports. It says my drivers are up to date...but I don't even know what I should be looking for. Do I need to install something or buy some sort of adapter?
I am trying to connect a Dell external montitor via the VGA port with a VGA cable. The monitor has power but my notebook does not recognize/detect it. However, when I first plugged it in, my notebook display shrank into a square (vs the whole screen) so it recognized something...but nothing happened on the external monitor.
I tried detecting it via my display settings, but I accidentally changed some dispaly setting so that the home desktop only shows on monitor 1, but unselected my actual notebook display or something or changed it to be monitor 2 (even though monitor 1 does not exist), so when I plug the cable in to my notebook, all of a sudden my desktop goes away and it's a just a blank background screen - and I cannot access the computer display settings or anything.... when the cable is unplugged this setting looks normal, so I can't figure out how to fix it.
Sorry, I have no idea what I'm doing here - please help!

Hi,
All Dell monitors come with CD's for drivers. Your laptop may not know the monitor w/o its driver, it won't install automatically. Please check:
Ringht click a blank space on desktop,
Click Personalize
Click Display
Click Change display settings
Can you see BOTH laptop screen and external monitor in there as shown on the following image:
For testing, I put my Dell monitor is my main display. If I can't see 2 monitor, you need its driver first and then check the cable.
Regards.
