[OT] converting DVI-D to composite signal

justin's icon

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

i found something like this:

but it seems a bit of long way round.

any advice welcome,

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?

i would look into the "PC to Video EZ".

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: http://www.kramerelectronics.com/indexes/item.asp?desc=470

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:
