I use a surgical microscope with s-video output from the camera. Would this converter help me connect that microscope to my 2011 Aug 15" MacBook Pro?

No. The signal is going the other way.. It converts mini display port to sVideo monitor. And it doesn't always work with my computers.

Don´t think so. This unit takes VIDEO OUT vía thunderbolt and inputs to the TV. You need that takes S-VIDEO out and iputs to the MacBook. You need a S-VIDEO out to USB / thunderbolt adapter.

Dear Kali Uppalapati, Greetings from Brooklyn, NY! Amazon just asked me to answer this question and because I haven't done a good deed today here goes: No. This device is to get video OUT of the computer - it sounds like you want to take picture from the camera INTO the computer. This device will not help you with that. Sorry. Good luck saving lives! Or photographing rocks. Or whatever it is you do . . .

No, this device is to get video out of the computer into a tv; not the other way around. What you need is a video capture device (probably connected through the usb port, since i haven't seen any with firewire), do a quick search in amazon and you should find a few options.

I don't own a macbook pro, but if it has a vga port, you can hook it up. If not, I believe you can get a vga to usb converter cable on Amazon and I think that would work.

It has video inputs for VGA, Digital, and Display port, so if you have native options on the mac book for these, then yes it will work. Otherwise you will need some adapter.

There is a dongle that plugs in mini-hdmi. Not sure if that works but you need something of that sort. C&E Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Female Adapter Cable for Apple Macbook, Macbook Pro

No it won't!I got it and it was a waist of money; get this one HDE Mini DisplayPort to VGA Female Adapter for Mac

I am using MacBook Pro released late 2011. This adaptor only work on mini display port.

It might with a HDMI-to-MiniDisplayPort converter (with the appropriate type connections, F HDMI to M MiniDisplayPort.) But even then, there is no guarantee. We've had experiences where passive converter devices will not properly translate the signal, and working with Macs to non-Mac displays is the biggest culprit in these failures.

I'm afraid I can't answer your question, but it sounds like you might be able to answer mine. I connected the monitor to a DVI to DVI cable, and connected that to a DVI-Mini-display adapter to my 2011 MacBook Pro. But the monitor isn't recognizing that there's a digital connection and the computer isn't recognizing any external display (and I rebooted both and disconnected and reconnected all cables). Samsung tech support told me that if I wasn't having any luck, then it meant the machines weren't compatible but they couldn't confirm that for sure -- they essentially shrugged. It sounds like you had success with the connection (even if not calibration). Can you confirm and describe your set up? Thanks in advance.

I have not tried to use mine with a MacBook. However HDMI output is standardized. That means this device should, in theory, convert any HDMI output to VGA regardless of the source device.

You will need a converter! It might be an Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter, but I apologize that I cannot remember exactly - I bought one, and it looked very much like this: http://www.showmecables.com/product/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI-Adapter.aspx?utm_source=google&utm;_medium=cse&utm;_campaign=2914&zmam;=49733141&zmac;=5&zmas;=1&zmap;=2914&gc;lid=CMWt0KeH_L4CFbRj7AodaB8AEg.Check to make sure I'm not telling you the wrong thing! I also looked into HDMI converters, but I don't think so fit. I was able to check one out from my local library, because they keep HDMI converters to connect Macs to overhead projectors, and that allowed me to try and find out that it didn't work.

Yes, but you will probably want to use a different driver. This one is chinese and shows it. It's VERY slow in recognizing the device, taking up to 3 minutes some times. Makes you think the device is broken. You can use VideoLans (and many other) excellent (and free) all purpose AV tool to view and record the images through this microscope. You will need to put the time and effort of reading the documentation for Videolan, but it's worth your time.

The camera uses standard UVC drivers so it "should" work on your Macbook Pro. The included software won't work, but the camera should work with Skype or whatever you use it with.

We connect a MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt port (same as on the MacBook Air) to an old tv via RCA cables using ViewHD's Mini DisplayPort to TV video Converter. We had to change the display settings in System Prefs on the Mac but it works great and we're happy with the results.

Yes, I have used this brand of adapter to move video from microsd HD cameras to my MacBook.

I guess Mac doesn't have HDMI or RS232 ports, so it cannot be connected. You might try searching HDMI converter for mac and then you should be able to connect

Sabrina, I connected it to my Macbook Pro through a "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter". You can buy it from amazon for less than $10. Good luck!
