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.

  • Video out to external monitor

    I have a 30 pin to RCA cable for I phone 4s. But can only get sound to the player.  Any reason it will not show video?  All oss up to date.  We are driving on a long trip and wanted to stream Netflix to a DVD player with inputs.
    Thx

    You could get a Canopus box and put the video out firewire to a video monitor that composite video in.
    To do this the video needs to be a DV stream.
    If the video is the new hi def standard with a framerate of 23.97, you will see picture but it won't be frame accurate sync.
    If you have a G5 or a Mac Pro you could get another video card and display the video on that.

  • Video performance on external display

    What Apple computer will perform the best on an external display?
    I am using my Mac mainly for calibrated 1080p video playback.
    I tend to come to the conclusion that I need a Mac pro for optimal performance on an external display? The mac mini could not produce flowing high bitrate 1080p video in iTunes. This was confirmed in an Apple shop. My iMac 27 inch i5 is perfect on the internal display but not external. And I read that the new Macbook pro is also better on internal than on external but perhaps good enough?
    I go through all this trouble because as a video hobyist I am using a calibrated video beamer with my i1pro and found the cms that is supported on osx with the icc profiles very impressive. I need the cms because my beamer is a wide gamut beamer and uncalibrated the colors are to vivid. Using an external cms is expensive and difficult compared to the easy automated icc profile calibration in osx.

    Hi,
    I have tried several mkv's that I transcoded to iTunes with Quicktime. I used the fast option that only changes the container (save to film). The mkv's where like 16 GB perhaps not that high bitrates if you compare with DV?
    But in the Apple store the quicktime demo's played good and the only explanation I can think of is the bitrate. On the internal display of my iMac they also played good. On the external display there where problems with 1080p24 and 1080p60. Only 1080i played good.
    So I concluded that all my Mac's where to slow For my external 1080p beamer I even upgraded the memory of the mini to 4 GB with little result.
    Do you still think that a faster disk might solve this problem? At this moment I am considering a Mac Pro or a Hackintosh.

  • Satellite L750D - no HDMI video out on external TV

    I have a Satellite L750D and a SyncMaster Smart TV
    I want to hook up my laptop to the TV with a HDMI cable.
    When connected, my laptop discovers the TV and can create an extended desktop but the TV says no signal.
    I have tested the TV with another laptop and it works fine.
    I deleted the display driver and was able to get some video on the television but the colour was bad and the option to extend was disabled. On top of this I was unable to change my screen resolution.
    I installed the latest drivers provided by Toshiba which is dated 09/05/2011. Same issue, no signal.
    Any suggestions on a fix?
    Is there later video drivers I can download?
    AMD suggest I go here for drivers.
    All help appreciated.

    Hi
    I guess you installed Win 7. Right?
    > I installed the latest drivers provided by Toshiba which is dated 09/05/2011
    There is a newer display driver released at 04/13/12 [AMD display driver v8.911.6 Windows 7 - 64 Bit|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=178&selProduct=6463&selSh ortMod=null&language=13&selOS=30&selType=all&yearu pload=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=a llMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=al l&selectedLanguage=13&type=all&page=2&ID=81347&OSI D=30&driverLanguage=42]
    Install this one.
    Furthermore you should install other tools like Toshiba Value Added Package, AMD Display Tool, ATI Sound Driver as well as Conexant Sound driver and others.
    Then you should be able to use FN + F5 in order to switch to the external video output

  • Mini-Dvi to Video out from Final Cut Pro working

    Thanx Everybody for posting reply for my post regarding running video out to external TV from Final Cut Pro in MacBook.
    It's working fine.

    @ Studio X : The files were originally created with Final Cut Pro, rendered out to QuickTime, then are being played back with Final Cut Pro. The file that has the most noticable studdering is a 60-minute timeline sequence in Final Cut. All files are being stored and played back from the Mac Mini's internal hard drive. Everything was originally shot on DV and formatted for a 4:3 aspect ratio.
    @ Shane Ross : Are there any settings in the MacOS or FCP where I can improve the HDMI video signal? Or do you know of / have any experience with Firewire to HDMI converters? Unfortunately, my new signal path relies on HDMI from the video playback.
    My current setup uses the Firewire output, which is then converted to composite video & analog audio using a pair of ageing DV tape decks. That setup is becoming troublesome due to age.

  • External Display won't go Fullscreen

    I have an Intel-based iMac running Snow Leopard with an external display connected. I want to display fullscreen video on the external display but I'm having problems. Specifically, here is what happens:
    Firstly, the displays are not mirrored - which is how I want it.
    Secondly, if I pop up an application - e.g. Safari running some flash video - then go to fullscreen, the video displays on the iMac screen - which is what I would expect. However, if I drag the window to the external monitor and then go fullscreen, the iMac monitor (not the external) goes fullscreen - not want I want.
    I've found that I move the menu bar to the external monitor (via system prefs) then the external does indeed go fullscreen - but that's not what I want.
    So my question is: how do I keep the menu bar on the iMac but the fullscreen video on the external?
    Can anyone advise what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    I had this problem with an early version of Safari 4. One of the updates fixed it. Are you using the current 4.0.4?
    Also, does this happen if you do the same thing with FireFox, Camino, or other browser? How about iTunes, QuickTime Player, or DVD Player?
    If it's only in Safari, you can also try trashing the Safari user preference file. It is located at
    <user home folder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    With Safari not running, move the file to your Desktop, then run Safari so that a new preference file is created.
    Note: Some apps have a setting in their preferences that controls which screen gets the +full screen+. So no matter where the window is located, that screen gets the full screen. Safari is NOT one of them.

  • I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina.

    I can't seem to run 3 external displays of off my MacBook Pro 13inc with Retina (2.8GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 512GB SD driven, OS X 10.9.3) It only picks ups 2 displays. I also have a 15inch Mac Book Pro with Retina that can run all 3 screens. Any suggestions, please?

    The late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch screen model can power three external displays in addition to its own.
    Here is a video showing three external displays working; 1 HDMI, 1 MiniDisplay Port, and 1 thru USB using a Startech external video card to DVI adapter. All the external displays are old 23 inch Apple Cinema Displays hooked up thru each monitor's Apple Display Connector (ADC), then to Apple ADC to DVI adapters, then a third adapter (HDMI, USB, MiniDisplayport). So ADC/ADC to DVI/DVI to whatever/MacBook. The monitors are probably older than some of the users on this board. The USB to DVI external card/adapter is what makes it work, and it's less than $70 online.

  • External display flashes and shows 'snow'. (Video of behaviour included)

    Since yesterday, my Macbook Pro is acting strange. When I connect it to an external monitor, it usually works. Everything goes well for 10 to 30 minutes, and at some point the display starts tearing, showing snow, and flashing. These flashes get worse and worse, up till the point where I have to reboot. Rebooting seems to help a little. Whenever the laptop hasn't been used for a few minutes it works correctly again, for a short while. (This makes me conclude it's some sort of heat-related issue)
    The issue is present on multiple monitors using different DVI cables. I only have one mini-displayport to dvi adapter, so the problem could be there too.
    This problem does not affect the internal display of the macbook in any way.
    Here is a short video showing the behaviour:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BotUqHb3dM
    What should I do? Try to figure out wether it's the mbp or the connector or just bring it in for a repair. (It's less than a year old)

    I have had similar issues with my 15" MBP. Occasionally my external monitor will go 1980s and display what looks like crappy tv reception.
    Also, connecting or disconnecting an external display (via the single link mini display port to dvi adapter) has a tendency to lock up the entire machine (both displays black, won't respond to keyboard or mouse) until the power is cycled.
    Also, my built in monitor has a habit of flickering/glitching lines.
    These problems seem to happen regardless of which graphics card is active.

  • External Display : No Video

    When I connect the MBA to an external display there appears to be no video sent to the display. The external display detects no video. I'm using the MBA VGA connector. When I check System Profiler it shows the proper external display as being connected.
    When I connect the same video cable (different connector) to my iBook the external display works properly.
    Any ideas? Could it be a bad VGA connector? HW problem? I plan to go by the genius bar tonight but I wanted to check if there was something I was missing on the MBA to properly connect it to an external monitor.
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    Jerry,
    I'm having exactly the same problem connecting to a Sharp Aquos display via the VGA adapter from Apple through a VGA to DVI cable to the DVI input on the TV. The MBA recognizes it is connected to a Sharp display. I tried selecting both analog and digital DVI, with no luck. I've had this work on another older laptop with the same VGA to DVI cable and TV. What did you find out from Apple?

  • Disconnect+reconnect external display = washed out image

    hi guys
    I need some expert help on this. Using a Dell E178 WFP external display on my 2010 Macbook Pro via mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter. This display has no EDID it seems so I use SwitchResX to create the necessary resolution override (1440x900). SwitchResX has nothing such as daemons or helpers installed on top, so this boils down to graphics drivers.
    My problem: When I reboot the machine, the display has the necessary brightness, contrast, and colour balance. If I unplug the display, wait a sec, then plug it back in, the image comes up very bright and washed out, and I can't get a "true" black out of the display.
    What this isn't: I have a ColorSync profile, and make sure it is successfullly loaded, i.e. I go through the trouble of opening up system preferences>displays>color to make sure it reloads. This is not a ColorSync problem. It is not the 2.2 vs 1.8 gamma problem either. Ctrl+shift+eject does not fix it. Creating a new colour profile does not fix it either. The usual SMC, permissions, safe boot, etc tricks don't work either.
    Apple engineers have sent me a copy of TimingSnoop but were baffled by the display having a "fake" EDID (when run without SwitchResX TS detects no EDID at all). Since I refused to roll back my entire system to 10.6.4 or uninstall SwitchResX (it does not interfere??) they closed the bug stating "insufficient information".
    10.6.4 did not have this problem, and my hardware is perfectly fine.
    Rolling back the graphics to 10.6.4 fixes this issue (but creates other issues)
    I'm looking for information on this. Has anyone had the same happen? Is it confined to sans-EDID displays?
    Have googled a lot but I'm running out of search terms... Anything could be of help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Again, this is not the gamma problem that's fixed by just opening the display preferences and resetting the colour profile.
    This seems to be somehow related to the display's EDID and the video adapter (Nvidia) not resetting properly when first unplugged and then plugged back in. My support request with Apple is more than a year old in total now and replies have been trickling but all of them add little (if anything at all) to a fix.
    My particular problem is finding these "a lot of" people who are experiencing this problem. Everyone I've seen so far talks about the gamma/colours problem, never about the brightness and reboot. So yours is the first instance of someone having exactly the same problem. Hopefully we can find more people? Do you know where I should be looking?
    Another idea I've had is to possibly talk to the OSX86 community? If Apple are not interesting in issuing a fix for this, maybe someone else has done some work? After reviewing Apple's code (at least that part which is made public) I'm pretty convinced this is in Nvidia's territory, and that gives me very little hope..
    I'm interested to know if this has been fixed on Lion at all..? Ideas?

  • HT6114 external display cutting out

    since the new update every few minutes my external display keeps cutting out and have to unplug and re plug the hdmi cable back in

    Hey there jamie0105,
    It sounds like your external monitor is not funcitoning correctly with the computer after updating to Mavericks even after reseating your HDMI cable. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • How to get video out to display menus and apps...

    I have a 'myvu for iPod', which is a little video screen in your glasses, and it displays "Videos" and "YouTube" clips fine but I can't seem to get it to display videos played in other applications like the 'TED' app, photos, cover art during music playback or the menus for navigation. How can I configure the IPod to play everything on the audio/video out instead of just YouTube and Videos?

    The ipod touch can only output youtube and movies at the moment on an external display.
    It's been complained about for some time
    Only thing that you can do for now is register your dissatisfaction at http://www.apple.com/feedback/

    No, not lifetime.
