will be using a new mbp 2.8ghz for doing some shows, but the output is a mini to DVI-D connector... need to output to composite, any suggestions on converters?

according to apple shop, seems they dont do mini composite output for this model

If there isn't a simple converter from apple, your best bet is a D-A box via firewire. Not cheap though. The new MBP's seem to be badly designed on a lot of levels.

The question is do you really need composite? What is your setup?

composite is preferred as will be using other composite hardware. will probably use mini display port > vga... followed by a vga to composite scan converter:

needs to be real-time / low latency / hi-quality converter.... not sure PC to Video EZ will work too well, but thanks for the recommendation.

seems i'm not the only one who has encoutered this issue:
