Hardware :: Splitters And Adaptors - Projector Has VGA Connection?
Aug 21, 2009
I have decided that I want a splitter for this movie.I think nearly every projector has a VGA connection, if there is a more popular and better connection - please tell me!Is it also possible for someone to actually pin point me to a kind of splitter, scenario:I have a movie running on my iMac for the wedding, on my MacBook Pro - I have a full screen picture of the best man.I want something where I can plug in my both computers so that I can simply flick a switch so that the projector views the other device.
I'm sure most of you are familiar with headphone jack splitters. For those of you who aren't, this is a jack splitter; basically, it lets you plug two sets of headphones into one jack.My question is, does something similar exist for either HDMI cables or Component cables? I'm in the process of redoing my room, and I'm planning on connecting my MacBook, Wii, PS2, and Xbox to an HDTV. The Wii, PS2, and Xbox all use Component input, and I would like to be able to switch between them without having to unplug and replug a bunch of cables. I'm planning on hooking up my MacBook via HDMI, but I'm also looking into getting a Blu-Ray player later on, which will also require HDMI.
I have sevral large DV files that I need to move to a PC at a different location. On hand I have a FAT formatted firewire drive, but obviously It can't store files larger than 2 gigs, so I'm looking for the fastest way of splitting these files into chunks, and then re-assembling them on a PC.The options I see so far are using a compression tool which will split at the same time (stuffit, rar, or even zip) (but I'd rather not waste time compressing when it's not nessesary) or using a raw file splitter like Split&Concat, but I don't know if these are cross-platform, or what to use on the PC end to rejoin the files.
I stumbled across a MacRumors guide to connecting a Mac to an external display. It was very thorough and even provided some links to third-party converters, etc.I have been looking for the last hour, and for the life of me, I can't find it. Anyone who is more search savy than me able to find it and link?I have an older acquaintance who needs some help getting her Mac mini (late 2009) to an older composite TV, and the 9400M doesn't can't adapt out to composite. I remember that guide having a link to a real low-cost converter.
I typically keep one power adapter in my laptop bag and one plugged into my wall at tome, ready for when I return. I am switching from a 15" macbook pro to a 13" macbook pro. Would it be OK to use the 85W magsafe adapter to power my 13" macbook pro
Just got my new 2.8 with 5870. From the start it gave me some trouble getting it to turn on. I kept trying different plugs and such throughout the house and randomly I got it on. It was working good but I noticed that waking it from sleep the machine will click and the sleep light goes out and a red led behind the grill comes on briefly. I try pushing the power button to hear another click and the red led flashes. These problems seem intermittent and sometimes it will sleep fine. Im using 2 acer monitors connected via 2 vga-mini display adaptors.
I am trying to run an Epson EMP-TW 720 projector from my mini mac. It is not showing the entire desktop, I can see the majority but not the top bar and not quite all of the bottom. What must I do, driver update?
I am having the following problem when connecting my macbook to my new Sony projector.
The projector is only showing a portion of the computer screen. It seems as if the computer is dividing the notebook screen and the proyector and I can move objects between the two screens. Its like having two displays.
But i dont want this. I just want to have the projector show exactly what the macbook is showing on its screen so that I can watch movies.
I used to use a 37" hdtv with my mbp and loved it, but now I need to go bigger, at least 50 inches or so and am thinking about getting a projector. Has anyone else done this and gotten good results from a projector under 500 dollars?
I try to connect my projector Benq mp625p and MacBookPro(late 2008) via HDMI(adapter + cable). And projector tells me(on the screen): HDMI Out of Range. And, of course, MacOs doesn't see any external monitor. I think it is because, by default, MacOs wants to make mirror on the second screen, but max. projector resolution is XGA(1024x768). How can I turn off mirroring before the second monitor will be connected? But maybe problem isn't in just mirror display.
Additional Info VGA, S-video, Composite connection works great. And HDMI cable with adapter are 100% good(I have tryed them before on two plasma panels). Additional Info I've tried to connect this projector in BootCamp WinXP (on the same MacBook), and first time it didn't work, but when I set: Expand Desktop on the second screen everything began work properly!
My school is buying me a projector for my G5. Before I use to hook up my g4 powerbook that had an s-video connection to a projector.
My issue is that my computer will be around 20 feet away from my computer. What cords do I need to make this work?
My projector interfaces with: Mini D-sub 15 pin Computer/Component video, Mini DIN S-video, RCA Composite video, RCA x 2 Composite audio, Monitor out, Variable audio out, Control I/O
What do I need to buy to be able to project from a distance?
When i connect my macbook with an vga adapter to my projector it does not work. The projector is saying: no signal. How can i do to get the picture on the projector?
Info: MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.7.3), optoma projector
I was doing a presentation the other day and had some issues. I was connected to a projector and until I rebooted, I was unable to get the projector to project the image on my computer. instead, it was projecting the "milky way" image from somewhere on my computer.
Info: MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
I am looking for some suggestions for a projector that will run, and hook up smoothly on the Air. I don't need top of the line, but maybe around $700.00 is in the budget so far. I want to be able to show keynote presentations, website demos, and maybe some shorter video clips as well.
PS: I did some digging and wondered if the Optoma EP7150 was a good bet. The street price is around 800.00 (but I found a few that were around 500), and there is a newer model out now so the price should be dipping). 2.8 lbs, 2500:1 contrast ratio, 2,000 lumens... and XGA output. Anyone have any experience with this one?
I have a MBA (my first apple since the Mac SE 20... ha!) and I have a Dell 2300 multimedia projector. I have the DVI-VGA adaptor, but I can't get a good picture to project. I've toyed with the display settings to see if I can get it to improve. The picture stays dark, or blurry, etc etc.
Is there a setting I'm missing, or could I maybe have a bad adaptor?
I am getting a Pico Pocket Projector. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer a vga port and the only way to connect anything is through composite. I was thinking of using VGA to Composite and purchased the following:

However, when I hook it up to my TV (projector is wrapped away some where) it does not respond and the macbook doesn't pick up on it. Do I need the official apple one? I want to browse the web as well as watching movies.
I am operating tiger 10.4.11 and my graphics thingy is Intel GMA 950.
I had my new mbp connected to an LCD projector for class the other day. At the end of class I disconnected it and put it in my bag. When I got back to the my office I took it out and it was burning hot everywhere. I opened it up, there wasn't a response, but it eventually restarted. Everything seemed fine. Since then, I have connected it to the tv at home a few times to watch some shows, and the exhaust gets going at a fairly high rate. I never noticed the sound of the fan before, but iStat says its going at 6200+ rpm and its quite loud. It doesn't really feel hot. Anything to worry about or am I just being paranoid about my new baby?
Looking to connect your Mac notebook to a TV, projector, or sound system? Here's a quick guide that outlines all the things you need to make it happen - from adapters to cables to ports. Just follow the simple instructions to verify that you're getting exactly what you need. And remember, just because you setup the video side of things correctly doesn't mean you're going to get audio. If you want both video AND audio, make sure to also follow the directions indicated in the "Audio" portion of this post. VIDEO Check the ports on the back of your TV or sound system to see which of the following options are available to you. Find the port that matches below, and you're set! Remember, if you also want audio, check the "Audio" section at the bottom of the post. If you want to use composite video and you're using a MacBook (white, purchased after fall 2009), you need this adapter + a third party converter + a VGA cable + a composite (aka "RCA") cable. Aluminum unibody (black keys, purchased after summer 2009) MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro, you need this adapter + a third party converter + a VGA cable + a composite (aka "RCA") cable.
I'm working with my church to set up a audio/visual presentation system and need some help. Here's what we hope to be able to do: Hook up 1 to 2 monitors to a Macbook or Mac Mini (definitely 2 if it is a Mac Mini) and 1 to 2 projectors. What will we need to make this possible?
I'm posting lyrics up on a projector screen for church and I have keynote.
I wanted to know if there was a way to split the screen to see something different than what the projector is showing, so that I don't have to guess which verse comes next in keynote,
I can just see it on my computer and click it and project it onto the screen. Hoping that made sense!
I have a Casio (XJ-A240V/XJ-A245V) data projector, and I'm trying to connect wirelessly with a MacBook Pro (10.6.8). I see the projector in my Network wireless connection menu as "casiolpj_default1." The projector's LOGIN CODE is four digits, but the Network settings on my laptop must contain a minimum of eight characters. I've also tried connecting to the projector's Server IP address via computer to computer. I can join, but no projection. The projector is set to Wireless Input. I have clicked "detect monitors" on the MacBook. No further info is available in the projector manual.
