Dear all,
I have a SONY Grand Wega KDF-50HD900 with firewire (i-link) interface
and I usually connect it with my Sony video camera.
Now I got a MacBook with firewire. Can I directly connect the TV with
my MacBook through the firewire interface? May I need any software for
this purpose?
Thanks in advance for everyone's help or suggestion.

Well this has nothing to do with audio, and certain not audio production
but, what you are attempting almost certainly won't work.The video camera
and TV share a language for communication over that firewire link, it is
unlikely that your MacBook speaks that language. Even if it did, doing such
would slow the entire system to a crawl as the MacBook would have to render
the entire screen in software, where right now 95+% of that work is done by
hardware. I couldn't find the exact TV you mentioned so I glanced at a
different KDF model. Assuming your MacBook is recent one it has a mini-DVI
plug on it, and there are DVI to HDMI cables available, this will allow a
relatively normal connection allowing hardware to do the work, and should
work better.

Apple makes two cables - one of which goes to VGA, and the other will go
to video. They are each uder $20.
