miniDisplayport to Component HD video... how to?

[northernmunky]

I've got a Macbook Pro here that I need to have display a HD conforming image onto a TV screen but it has to go through a Y-Pb-Pr RGB Component cable.

I've already got a miniDisplayport to VGA adaptor but can get another one if needed. Anyone have any advice on the best way to go about this?

cheers all!

I'd go for:

Mini displayport to DVI: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mini-DP-Displ...ing_Apple_Mac_Accessories?hash=item3efa648c2f

Then Use a DVI to Component Cable: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DVI-A-MALE-TO...uting_CablesConnectors_RL?hash=item4834f78104

Hope this helps 🙂

Thanks for the info! I have both of those cables but it unfortunately didn't work, reason being the miniDispalayport to DVD-D adaptor was exactly that.. DVI-Digital and has some extra pins that doesnt allow it to connect to the breakout cable. So I was trying to connect the DVI-D to a DVI-I breakout cable.

I've ordered this now:

Although I'm now confused again because your link took me to a DVI-A breakout cable... so it may turn out this is wrong again. I'll do some more research and find out when it arrives.
