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

i found something like this:

http://www.oyyy.co.uk/product.php/58325/startech-composites-videocomponent-to-dvi-dhdtv-scaler-converter?CAWELAID=243000207

but it seems a bit of long way round.

any advice welcome,

justin

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?

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:
