  • Hooking up a 15″ mac book pro to an HD screen

    Posted by Oysterhead on March 28, 2007 at 7:51 pm

    I am editing an HD movie with Final Cut Pro on a 15 inch Mac Book Pro at a friend’s place. Right in front of me is a giant
    HD screen in his living room. I know I can use an HD deck, but what are some other ways I can hook the Mac Book Pro up to
    a big HD screen? Is there another way? Hope to hear from you soon. This is my first post, so go easy on me.

    What connections does the monitor have?

    I am thinking you’ll need something like the Matrox MXO for this, but hard to tell without knowing what connections are on the monitor.

    Matrox MXO may be the only way to go to really get good scaling etc. to the HD Screen…you’d need a DVI to HDMI adapter if the TV only has HDMI, but you can also go analog component out of the MXO. Maybe there’s a PC Card to HDMI thingy out there, but I don’t know of one.
