torch1972 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I have images and video clips on a mac mini which need to be displyed on a TV. I am looking for an easy way solve this issue, with a simple cable. I would like like not to use a AV switch or vision mixer. Any help?

tom_the_LD Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Need a little more deatil - what is the make of the TV and what inputs does it have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternewman Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 This looks like it should do the trick, not used one myself, but if it does work, I'd be interested to know, might either buy one or just make one if someone can find the pinout. I'm guessing it uses an existing TV out feature of the graphics card, onto some spare or switched pins of the Mac Mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'll buy a Apple DVI to Video Adapter and let you know how good it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peternewman Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Thanks Dom, unfortunately that's the pinout for the proprietary Apple ADC connector, on my Mac Mini at least, they've been good enough to just put a standard DVI connector on it, although mine is quite old, however the page on the Apple site about the converter seemed to say its DVI, so I guess they use a different pinout/clever switching.
