Link TV and PC through firewire connection
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. M.Vanni= |

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.
