[QUOTE="maccam912, post: 709533, member: 64368"] I have a macbook and am using a mini-dvi to s-video/composite video. I have the audio all worked out and for the projector we were just using (max resolution of 800x600) the composite video output worked. However, we just bought a new projector that can project at 720p and the composite video we were using doesn't let the projector display the image at it's full potential. My question is what cables would I need to buy to get the output from my macs mini-dvi to the projector at 720p? Here is what the projector can use for input: Mac®+ Analog: up to SXGA (may require a Mac adapter) CONNECTOR RGB Input 15-pin HD, D-sub cable (x1) Composite Video Input RCA jack (x1) S-Video Input Mini-DIN 4-pin (x1) Component Video Input VGA DB-15 to HDTV/component cable* Control 8-pin mini-Din for RS232 I'm not exactly sure what all this means and instead of risking buying an adapter that doesn't work, I decided to ask people who are more knowledgeable than I am. Please help me figure out the best way to send a high quality signal to the projector. Thanks in advance for any help. [/QUOTE]
