can I use with AVID Media Composer 6.5? I want to feed to a TV as a full screen monitor. I have HDMI output from a MacBook Pro Retina laptop 10.9.4

Should be no problem. Although I haven't used it with AVID, I think the box doesn't care what editing system you have. You should be able to feed the box right from one of the Thunderbolt ports on the Mac Pro. If you just want to feed from the HDMI port on the Mac, you don't need the Box, as you can feed a monitor direct from the HDMI port.

It looks like all Avid products are verified/certified software for Apple OS so you don't even have to install any drivers. Short answer, yes and very easily.

This display does not display full resolution with MiniDisplayport, MacBook Airs are out of luck. You must use HDMI to HDMI.

Sure. It works just like any other USB device. It works fine with Macs on Final Cut, which I was forced to use for the last year; and I'm sure it works with the Avid system.

You need a DVI to ADC adaptor. Apple doesn't make them anymore so you will have to get it from another source. I was lucky and got it through amazon. Used is fine. Don't be worried that there is one extra plug in. I don't use it and it never seemed to make a difference.

I have a Late 2011 MacBook Pro and it required going into the preferences and editing the video and sound outputs. But before doingvthe above, make sure you push the HDMI cable all the way into the port by pushing the wire connecting to the HDMI doggle in. Please refer to my review. I hope this helps.

Hey mate, I'd suggest you getting a docking station; you'd have plenty of connections including HDMI, USB, headphones and mike inputs plus Thunderbolt ports. Amazon has a very good one from Elgato. Just my 2 cents.

I am currently using an HDMI to DVI adapter without issue. My assumption is that you can use the Thunderbolt to DVI as well. I chose to use HDMI to keep my Thunderbolt ports available for other devices.

Yes you can, you just have to assign which source will come out from each hdmi output

Hey man, I bought my MacBook Pro back in 2009 and my cable works on mine for video no problem. The only thing is that you won't output any sound, so I just plug in a home theatre auxiliary cable into my headphone slot. Video is completely fine though! And yes, it goes directly from your mini DVI into the HDMI slot on your TV.

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.

As far as I know older macbooks cannot send sound through the HDMI port. When I hooked my macbook pro up to the TV I had to also plug in a headphone jack. I'm not sure if this will work with only a TV as I have an AV receiver to route sound through. If you have an AV receiver that has optical audio capability, your macbook (pro?) can output optical audio, at a much better quality than analog, by using a mini toslink adapter. Good luck.

Yes you can (there are not such thing like hdmi to vga adapter you are mixing orange with apples HDMI is digital while VGA is analog, you may find a converter but that is expensive), there are some cheap adapters "component to vga", the only way to feed HD to the projector is by component wich is an analog signal but it is HD...the VGA connector goes in the projector and then you feed the RCA connectors (blue, red and green) from a Directv receiver, hd tuner, media player, DVD, video game console, some blu ray players have component outputs but the only provide 480p...

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.

You can if your computer supports HDMI output, which most newer computers do. I can't speak specifically for an Apple, but it's a quick check if you know what an HDMI port looks like. You can find images online if you are unsure.

If I understand HDMI correctly, you need to set the source unit to HDMI. I had the same problem with my denon DVD player on my BRAVIA, then I switched the source to HDMI. This might be different for mac/pc ... the apple knowledge base is definately helpful.
