Video out question

Question - I bought a cable at Fry's to do video out. (goes into my headphone jack and has the red, yellow, and white cable coming out) I get sound but no video. what gives? Do I need an Apple branded cable? Did I do something wrong? How can I do this?
Also do I want the setting on PAL, or NTSC?
thanks

Is this polling for the chip something that started with the 2.x firmware. I didn't have a problem using the 1.1.x firmwares, but I made the leap directly to 2.1 yesterday and now I can watch video on TV.

Z10 video out questions hopefully someone knows.

before I start buying adapter I figured I would ask. Z10 seems like it could be handy for video out document sharing at meetings however 95% of all projectors we come across are vga . anyone tried this. Would you need a micro hdmi to vga adapter with sound or would headphone jack still work? so if you needed sound you could plug into headphone jack and just have micro hdmi to vga?
any help would be great before spending money on all sorts of adapters.

I thnk I'd go from the Micro HDMI to VGA

Matx mobo video out question?

Hi folks.
I plan on purchasing a MS-6533EG mobo for a htpc project.
The spec shows "Complete TV-out/Digital flat panel solution and MPEG-2/1
Video decoder"
Searches show a SIS301B add on card for this function.
There is no info (that i can find) as to how to get this card, or access tvout with the SIS651/962L chipset.
Any info is much appreciated!

IPod Classic Video Out Question

Hello Everyone,
I would like to connect an iPod Classic 160GB to my car stereo with a screen and use TV out to navigate the menus of the iPod. Is this possible or does the TV out function only work on actual video and not navigating through menus? Thanks.

I have exactly the same issues. I can't believe what I hear when I compare Ipod classic with iphone 4S. The same song play on IPhone 4S with EQ set to Classical is perfectly smooth and clear but the same EQ in IPOD classic have the sound clipped and distorted. The drum cracks into many pieces instead of a solid 'TUD!' in iphone 4S. Try this songs on both devices, you will know what I mean:
Ann Sally - O Barquinho.
IPOD classics plays it like a piece of badly torn fabric, but on IPhone 4S the sound is perfect. Stevenfromwi is correct, it is about harmonic distortion (clipping of the sound) which no one can find it pleasing. Just try out the song above by setting both IPOD and IPHONE to Classical EQ and you will know what I mean.
When I search the reviews of IPOD classics, I am surprised that expert reviewers have long known about this issue of IPOD classics and put it as one of the long-standing and thumb-down problem of IPOD classics. See the review below:
http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/mp3-players/272431/apple-ipod-classic-160gb
("...It's disappointing that Apple hasn't completely fixed the audio distortion..." ~ extracted from the article)
I will have to sell away my IPOD classics and find other media player now since I really cannot accept the clipping of sound. It is very dissapointing!!!

A few Video Out related questions (yes I searched)

Hello there! I've been searching the net and these forums for awhile now and didn't find answers to these specific questions. Any help would be appreciated.
Question 1:
I (now) know that the iPod Classic is extremely picky in regard to getting video signals to the TV. I know that Apple requires that I purchase its cords and/or its Apple Universal Dock (not to be mistaken with the iPod Universal Dock, which is discontinued) in order to enable output to my TV. However, I have read in a few other places that the iPod Universal Dock will work with the iPod Classic. Is this true? If I plug my iPod Classic into the iPod Universal Dock will I be able to use a non-Apple cord that connects from the headphone jack in the dock to AV cables (Yellow and White) on the TV? Also, will the S-Video on the iPod Universal Dock work with my iPod Classic? I really don't feel like going out and spending another $100 on the new Apple dock and cords.
Question 2:
In regard to the iPod Universal Dock, I have noticed that there are three part numbers: MA045G/A, MA045G/B, and MA045G/C. Is there any significant difference between these? Will all (or none) of them work with my iPod Classic?
Any other tips on how to get around having to spend another $100?
Any help is great. Thanks!

The info provided by the link <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233> is incompatible with users' answers posted above.
I am getting ready to try a 3rd-party S-Video to composite cable to play video from my new 80G iPod classic via an older Universal Dock (w/S-Video out) to a TV system. Will report back on results.

Question about video out on my iPad2.

I purchased a Skiva Medioflow composit Video / AV cable in hopes of being able to stream apps like ESPN Watch and Big 10 to TVs with only RCA inputs. What I get is audio and no video. It appears from what I read, only a few apps, such as itunes and netflix allow for video out. I've read that it is up to the app maker to allow video out. I know at least that itunes works with the cable. Is there any way to make this happen? I do not want to jailbreak my ipad or anything like that. If there is a way, I would appreciate your input.

Thanks, I was afraid of that. The more reading I did, the more I came to this conclusion. I left a request with the Big 10 that I would like the ability to do video out.

Equium L20-198: Question about BIOS and s-video out

I seem to be having two problems with this and that is when I put the bios password on above it on the screen is rubbish, scrammble symbols. Also it is supposd to come with s-video out but there is a black plastic in place its place

Hello
I know definitely that S-Video port is not available on every Equium L20 model. Please check the notebook specification although I think that your model should have S-Video port. Please contact your local dealer and talk with them about this.
Your unit has valid warranty and if you think that there is some technical problem contact service partner and explain them the problem. Please dont make some BIOS update experiments if you are not familiar with this procedure.

Video Out from early 2009 Mac Mini

Is there any way to go from one of the video outs on the Mini to a converter of some sort, then to video input or S video input on a TV monitor? I see that the Mini DVI to Video does not work with my version of the Mac Mini. Any other solutions?

What do you think wont work?
A DVI monitor will work on DVI or DVI-I.
A DVI-I monitor will work on DVI or DVI-I
Dont believe me? Try it ( or read the spec).

You commented as to why make the special connector. I gave an answer based upon the original question to this post which is about +_getting a analog composite video or S-video signal to a Mini, NOT a DVI monitor_+.
Apple makes and sells an adapter to provide composite and S-video from the DVI connector of certain Mac models of Macbook Pro and Mac Pro. (I use one.) But since the Mini does not produce the analog signals, the adapter will not work, even if you could physically plug it in to the Mini. So if Apple did as you say and made the computer with the connector to use either a DVI-D or DVI-I adapter, in my example, if the aforementioned person with lesser technical knowledge plugged in the S-video connector to the Mini, they'd be angry that it didn't work. Again to avoid the "Why would Apple sell something that wouldn't work on my computer if it fits?!" type of support calls.

Video Out on iPhone 4

I have Apples audio and video out cable adapter. One end plugs into the dock connector, the other end has left and right audio out, and composite video out.
When I use this cable adapter with my iPod, all videos play perfectly on any television set. However, when I use the same cable on my iPhone 4 I get audio but no video.
I suspect that Apple has crippled the video out for some reason. Please tell me I'm wrong.

I am simply trying to watch NASA TV using my iPhone. I used to get NASA TV from DirecTV, but you must now have HD DirecTV to get NASA TV. ( we still get 100 channels of infomercials however.)

I have a bad habit of asking questions that no one knows the answer to.

Video out to external display

Hello, Is there a way to get video out to an external display? I currently have a T5, but am getting a TX. Should be the same for each, though. Rregards, Karl
Post relates to: Palm TX

Just a quick FYI...T5 and TX both have a "normal" 3.5mm audio jack.
Video will be a problem though. It's a shame my cheap little Insignia media player can output Audio and Video via a simple cable.

How do you get the video out to TV to work on the iPhone 3GS

I cannot get the video out to TV to work on my iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.1.1.
I am using the $40.00 apple composite AV cables and nothing seems to work. With the cables connected to tv input nothing shows up in general settings for video out. Or anywhere else for that matter. I have tried many different TV's, sometimes I get audio but never never ever video . Does anyone else have this problem or better yet the answer?

Thanks for responding to my question about not being able to get the video out to work on my iphone 3GS. In answer to your question i couldnt get any video to work at all. But, i do know what was wrong now. The whole problem was the brand new $40.00 set of apple composite AV cables i just bought was no good. This afternoon i took a trip to the nearest apple retail outlet (30 miles away) with phone and cables in hand. And after doing a little head scratching of their own they decided to try another set of cables, and low and behold the darn thing worked like a charm.I was very impressed by the service at the apple store even though i didnt buy either product from them. I wonder if there is a bad batch of cables floating around out there because it looks like other people out there are having the same problem, which is why i didnt really suspect the cables. Thanks again for responding. Micdude001

Composite video out to TV

This may be a question easily answered but I don't pretend to have any knowledge in this area.
With my G5 iMac can I get a composite video out to plug it into my 42" Sony HDTV and if I did what sort of quality would it be? As in would it be High Definition and wide screen?
Any helpful advice? Thanks!

Composite is generally the worst video-output you can get.
Quality is about that of a good S-VHS recorder, with colours that bleed over into eachother at the edges. Magnified on a 42" TV, this wouldn't look good, with red bleeding a lot and shimmers across bright colours.
It's better to use the S-VHS-output that's, I believe, also on the video-out adapter that Apple sells.
Some HDTV-capable TVs come with a VGA-input. If yours does too, you'd be better off buying the VGA-adapter instead. This will give you a higher resolution than possible with the Video-out adapter and no (or unnoticably little) colour bleed. The VGA-adapter is capable of supplying atleast 720p HDTV-images, but not in widescreen.
Currently, Apple has no HDTV-capable output system, although the Mac's videochip itself is capable of outputting it.

HD video out from Logic - possible?

I have been trying to find if there is a way to get HD video out to an external monitor from Logic. Tried a Decklink "Intensity" card, wouldn't output HD. I called Aja and Decklink, neither company could tell me if it's possible with any of their products.
Another alternative would be to use a second video card and convert DVI to HDMI (I have two 30" monitors so am already using the two DVI outputs on the main video card), I want to output to a 47" TV monitor for client presentations. In the old days, it was always recommended not to use a second video card with music DAWs because of slowing down the PCI buss - is this still the case with the latest Mac Pro's?

The other thing we've done in the studio when working on films is to use two separate machines. One machine is running ProTools HD and it's the on that plays the video. Use MTC to lock the machines together, you hit play in Logic and hey presto, the ProTools locks to it and plays your video. No reason why you couldn't do this with two machines running Logic. The advantage with using ProTools (HD) is that you can have all of your reels in the one session, one after the other. Then (if your Logic work is properly organized and all of your cues have start points at the correct TC, then you don't even need to change ProTools sessions even once. You can switch between Logic projects (for each music cue) and the ProTools session will happily jump to the right part of the video at all times. This way you eliminate the question of trying to get the one machine to handle everything. Yes it's more of the old-school sync'd up video deck concept, but once you set it up, it's much faster and it works great. You can even route all of your physical outputs from Logic directly into the ProTools inputs and do one-pass (or almost one-pass) striping of all your Logic work to prepare your ProTools sessions for the orchestral sessions. We've done this for a couple of films and it was a very effective way of working.

No Audio When using Video Out to Firewire

I do not get any audio when I use Firewire ntsc as my video out. When I set video out to canvas playback then I get audio. I want to use print to video but I cannot because the audio will not work with Firewire. I get the image on my external monitor but not the audio. I checked to make sure and the audio was not on the recorded dvd. I cannot not use print to video with canvas playback.
My Easy Setup is Format: NTSC, Use DV NTSC DV Converter. I tried using Firewire basic and got the same results.
Please Help
Ken

The audio does not play at all from the timeline if video out is set to Firewire. To answer your question, no the audio does not play in the external monitor when playing back from the timeline when Canvas is used as the video out. However, I don't believe the converter box is the problem. The audio would play in the internal speakers when using firewire as video out but it does not.
