My mini display port to DVI is a DVI -D not a DVI - I, is there a way to hook up to RGB, SVideo or RCA?
I have a late 2009 macbook pro with a mini display port adaptor to DVI. I believe it is DVI - D. I understand that DVI - D is not backwards compatible to an analog signal. My intent was to purchase a DVI to RGB Component Video or RCA or SVideo converter. However from reading some of the posts it sounds as if my macbook pro is incapable of this conversion, is that the case? If it is possible please direct me to the potential solution to my conversion needs.
I appreciate your assistance.- Asked by Anonymous A from Xxxxxxxx

Does anyone know what kind of adaptor if any I will need to connect my 13" 2011 Mac Book pro to a standard lcd projector? Thank you in advance.

AnswerThe 13" 2011 Mac Book pro uses a Mini DisplayPort. So as long as the adapter goes from a male Mini DisplayPort to a technology your projector uses, you should be good to go. Check the manual of the projector if you are unsure of the interface options.

Answer
The 24" iMac I bought in the fall of 2008 had a mini-DVI. Now the iMac is delivered with a min-Display port. Sometime between then and now they switched. So first you must determine which port you have. I purchased the mini-DVI to DVI adapter and used it with a Samsung SyncMaster T240HD with no problems. However, the adapter is only about 6-8 inches long so I found it necessary to buy a standard DVI cable to reach from the adapter to the 2nd monitor. I would assume from the descriptions and pictures that the mini-display port to DVI adapter is about the same length.

All you need is an HDMI cable. Apple does sell them, and they have a great rating.

Does this adapter support 2560x1440 ??? (Why is this so hard to figure out. Can someone from Apple print what is supported on the box.)

Best Answer:No, this adapter does not support monitors over 1920. For 2560x1440, you'll need to get the Dual-link DVI to Mini DisplayPort adapter ($99).
