I see that the new Apple TV only has HDMI output. My projector only has VGA-in, is there a way to connect the Apple TV to my projector?
I'd be happy to upgrade that to an absolute no. I'm not saying that there aren't solutions: http://uk.startech.com/product/HDMI2VGA-HDMI-to-VGA-Video-Converter-with-Audio But I am saying that the money is better invested in a proper home theater projector- I've only ever seen VGA on business projectors.
Just to be clear, that cable will absolutely and positively NOT work. You'd need an active digital-to-analog converter that also handles HDCP.
Like this: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...10114&cs_id=1011404&p_id=4629&seq=1&format=2" ... But protected content still won't play.
Thanks for the advice, guys. I figured there would be issues with digital/analog and HDCP, I just wanted to make sure before I went out and bought stuff only to be worthless. Has anyone tried an HDFury with the new Apple TV?
digital projector w ATV2 my old InFocus LP70+ is supposedly able to take a digital signal, so I have ordered a HDMI converter for its "DVI-like" proprietary plug... So my question is, if the projector supports 1280x1024 and a digital input, will it accept the 720p (1280x720) signal from my new Apple TV (ATV2); or will the projector act like my 23" Cinema Display (which renders at 1280x800) but will not display anything from the ATV2? Side note: has anyone heard about the ATV2 having some remote tricks to change resolution? thx!
It seems to work (HDfury2, HDMI -> component), however, I only tried it for a few minutes before switching back to straight HDMI.
Guys, just got an HDMI to VGA cable adapter to connect the new ATV to my HP VP 6120 LCD Projector and can say: IT DOES NOT WORK! Unfortunately I haven't got a HDTV and will have to deal with it later...
HDfury worked for me with both Apple TV first gen and second gen. Giving a new life to my 65inch RPTV !
Hi People Here is the solution and a really affordable one http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/s...23&srccode=cii_13736960&cpncode=20-77940134-2 I am about to order one.
HDMI to VGA Cables WILL NOT WORK. If you understand anything about video cards / HDMI / etc, then you know this will not work. HDMI = Digital VGA = Analog The only way to go from Digital to Analog is to have a device in between called a DAC (digital to analog converter). A straight cable will not have this.
I thought you are referring to my thread. It is clear that a cable will not work beacause the signal has to be transformed from digital to analog as also paulrbeers said
Did you ever get this to work? Here at our office we want an Apple TV 2 plugged into our older VGA projector to present powerpoints etc. Looking for a simple cheap solution that uses existing projector if possible.
I bought a HDMI to VGA adapter and got picture with good quality. It worked for Netflix and other protected content. My problem is that I have no sound, does VGA not carry sound? If not, then what are options for getting sound? Thanks
I don't think VGA does but you could use the optical port for the sound, you can get optical to analog converters.
