Have a newer mac that you want to use with old monitors and projectors?Buy this!
I work as a VJ, and this has been a great 1 step solution to my particular problem!
I recently purchased a refurbished MacBook Pro (may 2011 model, trust me buy refurbished and save more than even educational pricing!) and had discovered that apple does not support any analog signals through the new thunderbolt/miniDisplayport.
Doing some research i discovered that the only would be solution would be to use a mini displayport to vga apple adapter, connected to a scan converter box to output to rca or svideo!
This would mean i would need 2 separate devices, and an extra power supply for the converter.
After a few days of reading old posts on various forums, I discovered this Item on Amazon 9and a couple no name places as well, that was smaller than a couple of adapters chained together, and would cost less than the adapter and converter combined!
To be honest I was a little skeptical, but I was a little desperate to use my new MacBook Pro during live performances so I figured if it didn't work, oh well i could return it.
And it works GREAT!
the unit itself is a fish shaped device with a usb (for power) a stereo plug (for sound) and a miniDisplayport dongle (for video).
The other end has RCA (Yellow, Red, White) female ports, and a female S video Port.
Plugging it in had no issues and my mac detected it right away! A blue light (at least on mine) comes on to show signal is coming through.
Quality was very good (for an analog device) and I would highly recommend this to anyone that has a newer mac that still uses svideo or rca display devices.
Even though i plan on using all hdmi in the future, this is a vital device when I need to work with older equipment (or whatever happens to be at the venue when i set up!!!)
Only con is that it takes up a usb port, but is worth it to not have an extra power supply plugged in.
Now let's just see how long it lasts!
i say that because it is a fairly light device. The cords coming out of it weigh more than the device itself. and running it with a fair amount of video data (the new resolume 4 arena beta!) it did not get very warm after 20 minutes.
It feels as if there is very little on the inside of the device, which leaves me just a tiny bit worried but for 60 (the price i paid) still beats the alternatives.
Thanks very much!
