Basically, now you can use the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to pass both audio and video through a single cable.  In the previous MacBook you could only pass video through the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable.  The only option for passing audio was to use the audio out port on the MacBook.  This is self-defeating since HDMI is fully capable of passing both audio and video.

The current iMac and MacBook Pros offer this feature with the Mini DisplayPort, and now the MacBook is equipped with this hardware.  One would think that Apple is blurring the lines between their entry level MacBook and their Macbook Pros.  I would have to disagree with that statement.  Apple is giving the consumer better hardware for less money.  With this new MacBook you’re getting more bang for your buck.

As a side note, I noticed that Apple has not included a FireWire 800 port.  The entry level MacBook has had this port removed for sometime now.  You can only get this port on the MacBook Pro line.  When it was first removed there was a huge uproar in the Mac community, and rightfully so.  A lot of people use FireWire devices for things like FireWire hard drives, or for placing their Mac in Target Disk Mode to transfer data.

As I mentioned earlier, Apple is giving us more for less.  With the exception of the FireWire 800 port we are getting better hardware than what was previously offered.  With this new information in hand you can now connect your MacBook to your HDMI enabled TV and start watching movies and TV shows right from your MacBook.

Do you know how does High Speed with Ethernet HDMI Cable need to setup, make it working

  • Look in the back of your HD television. You should see one or more input jacks labeled “HDMI.” This is where the HDMI cable is attached–differing visually from the normal A/V cables in that there is only a single jack instead of three color-coded A/V jacks.
  • Attach one end of an HDMI cable to the HDMI output jack on the back of your cable box, satellite box or HD/Blu-Ray DVD player.
  •  Attach the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI input jack on your television.
  • Turn on your TV, and give it a little time to warm up–about 5 to 10 minutes should suffice.
  • Press the “input” button on your remote until it indicates that the TV is receiving signals from the HDMI input jack. A message will usually flash on the TV screen, stating “HDMI 1.”
  • Check the signals from your input box. They usually allow you to adjust the level of signal you can send, in figures ranging from 480i to 1080p. The higher the number, the greater the resolution will be.
  • Adjust the aspect ratio, either on your cable/satellite/DVD remote or on your TV remote. In order to maximize the picture quality, you want to make sure the aspect ratio is correct for your TV (usually either 16:9 or 4:3). You’ll be able to tell if it isn’t correct, because the figures onscreen will appear stretch or elongated.
  • Use the TV remote control to adjust the brightness, contrast, color and tint to match your particular tastes. Most HD TVs have factory settings that will work for your average viewing conditions. Once you’re receiving a signal from the HDMI cable, you can tweak the particulars to fit your needs.

For those early adopters who bought an HDTV without an HDMI connection, I can verify that those HDMI to component adapters sold on ebay really do work. I bought a Toshiba HD-XA2 on clearance on Amazon (now sold out) but wanted to use HDMI so that I could take advantage of the excellent upconversion afforded by this player. The video put out by this player is stunning. My regular DVDs look HD and the HD-DVDs look 3D. It passed the “wife test” with flying colors. I can’t quite understand how these adapters can be legally sold but I am glad they are. If not the DVD player would not upconvert non-backup DVDs to 1080i. It might be something I am doing wrong but I had to use the 5.1 analog output of the XA2 to get Dolby Digital/DTS/DolbyTrueHD to work properly. I think it is because the HDMI to component adapter outputs 2 channel audio. Since my AV receiver has 5.1 inputs, this is not a problem. I have to say that the audio is equally stunning.

Are expensive digital HDMI cables better

Feb 2

Posted by neemon in News | No Comments

“You wouldn’t spend £20,000 on a car then put cheap tyres on it, would you?”

That might seem like powerful argument for road safety, but it’s the kind of line being trotted out in high street electrical stores to sell HDMI cables.

These short, unexciting-looking wires are used to connect devices such as Blu-ray players and games consoles to modern, flat screen televisions.

HDMI cables rarely come included with new gadgets and while they can be bought for as little as 95p, some retailers stock models costing up to £110.

Many shoppers report being steered in the direction of more expensive HDMI cables by eager sales staff, who claim higher prices equal better picture quality.

Kerry Lennox contacted Newsbeat. She said: “I recently bought a home cinema system and was informed by the shop assistant that I would need to buy a £50 HDMI cable. I bought one for £10 from a well known supermarket chain.”

Marcus Hodges wrote: “I’ve got a really expensive one and a cheap one for £12. To be honest, they’re exactly the same!”

One professional HDMI sceptic is technology reviewer James Holland.

“Blu Ray players and the TVs they hook up to are completely digital, so you are talking about ones and zeros,” said James.

“The cable itself isn’t contributing to the quality of that picture at all. It is just moving it from one place to the other. It’s the electronics at both ends that do the hard work.”

Shopping test

Unlike their analogue predecessors, SCART cables, HDMI sends sound and pictures encoded in digital form, theoretically making it less vulnerable to interference.

Dr Eric Chowanietz, Principle Lecturer in Media Technology at De Montfort University, believes there is little to support the claims made for pricier models.

As you connect more and more items together, say an HD box and games console, or multi channel amplifier, you will need better and better quality cables to maintain the quality of the signal

Chris Jenkins, tech labs manager

He said: “You wouldn’t buy a more expensive printer cable and expect to print higher quality documents.

“The document quality depends on the printer and it is much the same with a digital system.”

Newsbeat went on a mystery shop with 20-year-old student Ed Trencher. In each store he asked which cable he should buy for connecting an Xbox 360 to a HD television.

John Lewis: “They said their cheapest cable was £19.99 and I shouldn’t spend any more because they all do the same thing.”

Micro Anvika: “The guy said HDMI is HDMI and the cables shouldn’t really differ. The cheapest one, he tried to sell me, was £29.99. The most expensive one they had was £95 and he said there wasn’t really much difference between them.”

PC World: “They tried to sell me a £39.99 HDMI cable which was, apparently, clearer picture quality.”

Currys Digital: “They said I should buy the £69.99 HDMI cable because it provided a much better picture quality over the cheaper version, but for some reason [the assistant] decided to knock £20 off.”

Quality cable

Currys and PC World both offer HDMI cables priced between £19.99 and £119.

A statement from DSGi, which owns the two chains said: “We always aim to help our customers find the right product for their choice of hardware by clearly explaining the differences between the cables and our staff receive training on these products.

“The choice of HDMI cable is mainly determined by the level of signal purity that the consumer is looking for in the connection between playback device and television.”

The company said that some cables were more expensive than others because the materials used in them, such as copper wiring, were of a higher quality.

One expert who supports that claim is Chris Jenkins, tech labs manager for Future Publishing group, behind Home Cinema Choice.

He argues that more expensive cables do make a difference, especially in more complex home cinema setups and over cable runs of longer than one metre.

“As you connect more and more items together, say an HD box and games console, or multi channel amplifier, you will need better and better quality cables to maintain the quality of the signal.

“£120 cable for your first purchase? No. But certainly don’t try to get away with a £1.99 cable”

Chris’ advice is to budget around 10% of a system’s price for HDMI cables.

Posted by neemon in News | No Comments

If you’ve been wanting to hook up your PC to an HD TV via an HDMI port, Asus may just have the solution you’ve been looking for.

The latest batch of graphics cards coming from Asus feature awesome names like EAH2600PRO/HTDI/256M and EN8600GT/HTDI/256M. If you hadn’t guessed, the cards are based off of ATI’s 2600 Pro and Nvidia’s 8600GT cards, but feature high-quality HDMI adaptors.

The cards are HDMI certified, and use Splendid Video Intelligence Technology which will allow movies to be viewed on HDTVs with the same quality as other HD media devices.

Tainell T500 MID adds HDMI and 3G to the mix

Nov 24

Posted by neemon in News | No Comments

Is there room in your heart for another Intel Atom based MID?  Okay, for many of you there wasn’t room there for even the first such device, but if you’re still shopping around for a touchscreen handheld (and you don’t mind likely having to take a trip to China to pick it up) Tainell may have the device for you: the imaginatively titled T500 MID.

Not, it’s fair to say, the most attractive MID we’ve seen, the Tainell nonetheless packs a 5-inch resistive touchscreen in a casing measuring 6.1 x 3.5 x 1.0 inches.  They’ve also squeezed in an Intel Atom Z510 1.1GHz processor, 1GB of RAM and a 32GB SSD, together with WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and 3G WWAN.

There’s a little surprise among the ports, too, as the typical USB, audio in/out and power are joined by a mini-USB and an HDMI socket.  A 0.3-megapixel webcam round out the specs; unfortunately there’s no word on pricing from Tainell.

Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable coming say UKHDMI

Nov 17

Posted by neemon in News | No Comments

Retailer ukhdmi.com are promising a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable by the end of January 2009, suitable for connecting the new video port on the unibody MacBook and MacBook Pro to an HDMI-equipped display.  It’s the first such adapter confirmed as coming to market, with Apple themselves still delayed in delivering their own Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI cable.
“Yes, we will carry this item soon. However, it won’t be available until end of January 2009 or so” ukhdmi representative

Since Mini DisplayPort only carriers a video signal, unlike HDMI’s audio and video, a separate audio connection will have to be made.  It’s unclear how ukhdmi will incorporate this into their product, but the most obvious solution would be to use a split-end cable that also hooked up to the MacBook’s audio out socket.

 

 

It’s hoped that the ukhdmi cable will be relatively cheap, as is the rest of the company’s range.  Apple has come in for criticism regarding its Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter, required for driving larger displays, which costs a substantial $99.  Without it, the newness of Mini DisplayPort means that buyers of the late-2008 Mac notebooks are currently limited to Apple’ own 24-inch LED Cinema Display if they want an large-aspect external screen.

Hack – Use a cheap HDMI cable on your Xbox 360 Premium

Nov 15

Posted by neemon in News | No Comments

Microsoft loves money, your money to be exact. When you buy something like their Xbox 360, they want you to use their special proprietary hardware. Take the wireless adapter, you’d think any old adapter would do the trick, unfortunately you have to buy the $100 one from Microsoft. (Or at least that’s what they want you to think, but that’s a story for a different day). Another great example is the $50 HDMI cable with the audio adapter, that’s way too expensive.

If you have one of the newer Xbox 360 Premium consoles, you likely have yourself a nice HDMI port. Unfortunately, due to the design of the A/V cable, you can’t have both an HDMI cable and the A/V cable (which carries your audio) plugged in at the same time. The Microsoft solution is to pay $50 for a special cable.

The hacker solution is to remove the plastic casing around the connector for the A/V cable. This gives you enough room to plug in an el cheap-o HDMI cable. Take that Microsoft!
