Xbox 360 (or other HDMI cable) to Thunderbolt Display

Hi all,
Is there a way to get HDMI in on the Thunderbolt Display? I'm looking for a minimal cost solution to play my Xbox on my display and have only found the Kanex HD, which I'm not even sure works with the Thunderbolt Display. Has anyone found another solution?

Is there a way to get HDMI in on the Thunderbolt Display?
No.

Connect Ouya HDMI output to Thunderbolt Display

I recently purchased an Ouya video game system and would like to use it with my 27" thunderbolt display. Is it possible to do this? Can I use something like the Kanex XD Display Miniport converter to output hdmi to the thunderbolt display? Just to clarify, because everything seems to be reverse, I would like to output hdmi to thunderbolt or hdmi -> thunderbolt. Not thunderbolt to hdmi.

You can't do either - the TB Display only uses a TB port and no HDMI adapter works with the port.

Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays ?

Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays and the new imacs? Everything on the market uses hdmi...they then add one to the new macbook pros, but none on the displays. Is there a reason?

Playing xbox 360 on macbook pro 15 inch retina display with hdmi

Is it possible to be able to plug my xbox360 into my macbook pro 15 inch retina display with the hdmi cable and then play it on my computer because i have an hdmi cable and dont want to go buy the eye tv for another $150 and if it's not possible does anyone know of another way for me to be able to play my xbox360 on it

No. The HDMI port on the MBP-R is an output port used to send images to an external monitor, not an input port.
As far as I know, the only Mac that has ever had a video input capability is the iMac. Some years' models have had the ability to act as a monitor for another computer. I don't have one, but it doesn't look like current iMacs offer this feature (based on a quick skim of the Apple Store pages).

I want to hook my xbox 360 up to my 2011 27" Cinema display, is this possible?

I have a 2011 27" Cinema Display and I want to know if there's any way at all to hook my Xbox-360 up to the display to use it. TIA.

If you connect yourMacBook using a MiniDVI/HDMI adapter you will need to use external speakers for audio since the pre-2010 MacBooks will only send video through the MiniDVI or MiniDisplay Port . The MiniDVI/HDMI doesn't carry audio and there's no audio plugs on the TV to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
If your TV has a DVI input plug you can use a MiniDisplayPort/DVI adapter. Then a DVI cable to the DVI input plug on the TV. The TV will have RCA audio plugs for use with the DVI. Plus DVI gives a sharper image than HDMI.

Is there a way to play xbox 360 on a macbook pro with retina display 15 inch?

How to use the MacBook Pro with Retina Display as the screen for the Xbox 360 any cables, or adapters that do this, I prefer it to be under $40 if possible

Not going to happen.
Use your TV like your supposed too.

Connecting network cable to Thunderbolt display causes MBA to crash

When plugging my MBA into my Thunderbolt screen I noticed that it often causes my MBA to crash - very frustrating! I have since discovered that this only happens when my wired network lead is connected to the Thunderbolt display. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have checked the firmware for the monitor and it is apparently up to date. I would like to be able to use the wired network through the connection on the back of the Thunderbolt screen so it really is quite inconvenient.
Thanks for any help/advice.
MBA (c. late 2012) running under Yosemite, new (late 2014) 27" Thunderbolt display.

This is the report that was captured after the most recent crash (it means nothing to me!):

No signal from XBOX 360 when connected to a 65HT2U through HDMI

Good day peepz!
I tried to connect a XBOX 360 to my 65HT2U and it says no video signal
I already tried using other HDMI cables
and resetting the XBOX display settings by using Y and the right trigger
Still it shows no video signal
The weird thing is the XBOX works with my Samsung TV's HDMI ports and
other dervices can work on the three HDMI ports of my 65HT2U.
Is this a compatibility issue between the XBOX360 models and my Toshiba TV?

Hi,
Can you post back with the following.
1. The full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook ( from the service tag underneath your notebook ) - see Here for a further explanation.
2. The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 32bit ).
3. The full name of the display adapter.
Regards,
DP-K

I am having a problem hooking up my Xbox 360 to my new Toshiba 32" 32DT2U TV...

I just purchased this 32DT2U tv and have an older Xbox 360 with the red, white and yellow AV cables. I hooked up the Yellow (video in) to the Green port, and finally got the sound working, but the screen is grey and white. I see the game and all, but there's no color. Any suggestions? Should I just get an HDMI cable to fix this? Thanks for your help.

There are two types of connections that look similar.
Composite cables are colored red, white, and yellow. The red and white ports are for stereo audio and the yellow port is for video.
Component cables are colored red, white, blue, green, and another red. The red and white pair are exactly the same as the composite ones. They carry stereo audio. However, the HD video is split into components (hence the name) and carried by the blue, green, and red.
Your TV does not have composite ports, and connecting the yellow composite cable to any of those component videos ports will not work.
I thought that the older Xbox 360s came with a cable that had both. In other words, it had the stereo pair for the audio, the three for component video, and the one for composite video. If that's the case, simply ignore the yellow cable and connect the other five. There should be a toggle on the base of the cable that plugs into the 360 with a toggle for SD and HD. Switch it to HD.
Of course, this is all from memory, and I'm definitely not a 360 technical support agent. I'm guessing if your cable was like this, you would have tried, so they must have shipped with different box contents at some point.
You could purchase a component cable or an HDMI cable if you only have a composite cable. Personally, I would go for HDMI.

Connecting Xbox 360 to B540 through RF socket?

I am on a mission to connect an Xbox 360 to my B540 which does not have any inputs such as HDMI or even AV. My options seem to be using a video capture card or a RF Modulator/Adaptor (since the machine does have an aerial socket for the built-in TV Tuner to receive signals).
The video capture card route is a no-go area because of the lag effect in actually playing games, so I have decided upon getting a RF Modulator or RF adaptor to do the job.
My question is has anyone connected an Xbox 360 or other game console to a Lenovo B540 (or similar screen with only RF input) using this method? What was the image quality like? I know the outdated RF signal gives poor image quality on older, non-digital, TVs, but I wonder if there would be an improvement on this with the B540's HD screen...
Another image quality related question is, are general RF Modulators better for my purpose than the all-in-one RF adaptors sold specifically for converting game console video to RF?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks again caveman, but I'm not trying to control the game console by connecting its controllers to the B540, I'm trying to output the video image from console onto the B540 screen via a RF modulator (since RF is the only video input connection on my B540). Therefore the game controllers need only be supported by the xbox itself
Anyway I took a chance and got it to work! The resulting video quality is only standard definition and sound is mono, but since I'm an unfussy, occasional gamer with no burning desire to buy a new tv just to play videogames, it is an acceptable fix and the B540 HD screen definitely helps to display the limited RF video signal to best effect. Of course, life would be much easier if my B540 actually had a HDMI in connection, but I digress...
Here's how I did it...
1) You can get an RF adaptor specifically made for game consoles, but from what I gather they provide poor image quality, even for RF. So I took a chance and picked up a Programmable Universal Modulator from Maplins (£29.99) which is used more generally to connect video devices to older TV's that only have RF aerial sockets.
2) The composite lead from the 360 goes into the modulator box, which connects to the B540 screen with a regular coaxial aerial cable. Then I opened the AverMedia TV Player software, went into Analog settings and configured the signal type to cable. Did an analog channel scan and found the xbox picture.
3) As you can see in the screen grabs*, the fullscreen image needs slight horizontal adjustment but everything is visible and there are no cut offs. The Windows 8 desktop bar also appears across the bottom of the screen. I have yet to figure out how to get rid of it.
You can also resize the game window to have picture-in-picture on the screen if you prefer. Very handy for multi-tasking, haha!
Getting an Xbox 360 to work with my B540 took an evening of trial and error. The results are not without quirks. As mentioned, the picture and sound quality is obviously not as good as HD. Furthermore, if you try removing and replacing the coaxial cable while the xbox and PC are connected it can result in image glitching and a one or two second delay between controller input and on-screen movement. So don't mess with the cable after tuning in.

Playing 5thGen through USB Port / Xbox 360

My iPod is not recognized by anything other than a PC. I had an older iPod that I could plug into my Xbox 360 or a DVR cable box and I would get a "Do not disconnect" sign, and be able to play through these devices.
When i plug my new 5th gen ipod into either of these, there is no change to the screen. My xbox 360 does not recognize that I have a portable device plugged in. Again, this worked fine with my older ipod.
I have tried putting it into disc mode as well, but this doesn't change anything.
I also have downloaded the optional ipod support software for the xbox 360.
Is there something that I need to do to the ipod to get it to be recognized by a non-PC?
Thanks.

The problem seemed to be with the 360. Had to unplug/replug the power source to the 360. Apparently the problem was with the 360 USB ports.

Xbox 360 live and Macbook

Ok, this is my situation...I just got an xbox 360, and I will be moving into a college dorm at FSU in August. I have a macbook with only mac os x on it right now. What are all the requirements and everything I need to obtain full acces to xbox360 live from my dorm? (Do i need to use bootcamp for windows, what kind of netowkring, etc?) Thank you so much for the help.

You'll need to turn Internet Sharing on your MacBook. Go to: System Preferences/Sharing/Internet
Choose: Share your connection from Airport, and put a check mark on the port that in the list below. Then plug your Xbox 360 with a network cable into the Macbook. You'll probably need a network crossover cable. You can pick up a Network Crossover cable at most computer stores.
How is your dorm going to be setup? Is there going to be a Network (Interent) port in the wall so you can plug your Macbook into it? Or is it totally wireless?
If there's a port in your room, you can go out and spend $20-$50 on a 4 port network hub. You plug a cable from the wall into the Uplink port on the hub. Then you can plug your Macbook and your Xbox 360 with separate cables into the hub.
If it's a wireless dorm, you can purchase the Xbox 360 Wireless adapter. Hopefully the wireless network in your dorm is using WEP security or no security at all. If it's using WPA2 security, you'll be in trouble because the Xbox 360 wireless adapter doesn't support WPA2 security. All this might be over your head, but the more information you can get the better chance we can help you.
Hope that helps,
AL

Unsure about connecting my Xbox 360 to soundcard

I have searched this forum and looked at the stickies to determine if this is possible before posting but am a little confused so I decided to ask for clarification...
I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Professional Series installed in my PC
I am considering purchasing the Sound Blaster Digital I/O module
Is it possible to get 5. surround from my PC speakers if I connect my Xbox 360 to this setup using the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable?
Are there any downsides to doing so? Sound lag, skips, etc?

I don't really know.. I got a Auzentech Prelude with SPDIF (supporting optical) input and output and even after Dolby Li've or DTS is activated on my system I get no sound whatsoever if I activate Dolby Digital on my Xbox360?
Is it supposed to be like that? No sound when running Dolby Digital through a optical cable to my Auzentech Prelude?
Dolby Stereo works, but then again I guess it wont really utilize my 7. speaker setup at all?
Or does the sound card upmix to 7. or something, even when running Dolby Stereo on the Xbox360?
No sound at all if I select Dolby Digital or that Dolby Digital WMA thing.. I thought Auzentech Prelude supported both Dolby Digital and that WMA thing?
At least the SPDIF / Optical output does?
