goofy Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Dont beat me cause i ask tihs question, the search function is unusable at the moment, also a search over google did not gave me good results. I like to conect my Beamer to my Hackintosh for Video watching with VLC. I have HDMI in (still in use) and one free YUV Component In I have a 8800GT with 2 DVI out and a Component out with a PS2 like Adapter (similar to PS2 but other pinout), as i think most 8800GT have, should be Nvidia reference design. At the moment i have 2 Displays allready conected to my 8800Gt, so the only free port is the component YUV output. Anyone got this YUV Output working, this would be optimal as i also have a free YUV on the beamer side? Or is it maybe better (or the only solution) to use DVI to HDMI cable and a HDMI switch, or similar solution? The best solution will be 2. Geforce Card, maybe cheap 7300 to connect my 2 monitors and the Beamer directly, but this configration only runs in very few cases. I have 8800GT installed with EFI strings no NVinject, and vanilla 10.5.2 with Graphics update. What you think i should do? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadHorse Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 1. I think TV-Out won't work with the Hack-Drivers, Multimonitor support should work however. 2. Having recently tried VGA, YUV and digital (ie DVI or HDMI) output on an HDTV, I can assure that YUV is pretty much the worst solution. The picture is unsharp and color needs correction. Digital output, especially at higher resolution will always provide a perfect picture and 100% accurate colors. So yeah, I'd go for the DVI-HDMI and switch solution.

goofy Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 thanks, so far i think the DVI/HDMI thing will be the only solution, hmm. Maybe i try the hard way and buy DVI Y Adaptor like this http://cgi.ebay.de/DVI-Y-Splitter-Verteile...1713.m153.l1262 then go with a DVI to HDMI cable to another (yes it is hard) HDMI 2 port switch, where i combine the Xbox360 HDMI and Hackintosh HDMI cable to the cable which goes to the beamer. I think when switch on only the devices i need it may work. It will be uncomfortable to always switch the resolutions, but maybe sometime in the future a 2. GFX Card will be supported in Hackintosh. I someone have have further advice, please comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
