Since there are multiple options to connect a microphone lets take a look.ġ - For stand alone microphone with cable you could use a USB connector type or Audio to USB converter.Ģ- You could use a BlueTooth type microphone/Headset.ģ - And last not least, you could actually use your Headphone (as marked) the 1/8 inch plug, but NOT with standard audio plug. What they do say is you can use the Apple iPhone headset with microphone! Now that is a Hint ! It looks like Apple has redesigned it to be a multifunction plug, without telling us in plain English.

In your specific case, it is possible to use external microphone on MacBook pro and Air 2012 Models. But the iMac is still talking to the Thunderbolt dock and all the peripherals connected to it.All PowerBook and MacBook models support analog audio in via the headphone jack. So it's feeding the video signal from MacBook Pro to iMac, making the iMac an "extra monitor" for my MBP. I then use the iMac in Target Display Mode. On the Thunderbolt Dock, I have the second Thunderbolt port connected to my MacBook Pro. I use that Ethernet port as a second Ethernet for the iMac (which I use as a server) and the USB 3.0 ports to connect hard drives faster than the iMac's native USB 2.0.

They're feeding the video input through the Thunderbolt connection, while the iMac still has full Thunderbolt access to other devices it is connected to.įor example, I have a 2011 Thunderbolt iMac connected to a Thunderbolt Dock that has an Ethernet port and multiple USB 3.0 ports. Yes, Thunderbolt carries DisplayPort *OUTBOUND*, over the same plug as mini DisplayPort, so it's easy to connect older displays (including through mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters,) the *INPUT* part of it is purely on Thunderbolt Macs is purely through the bidirectional-by-design Thunderbolt interface. Thunderbolt is a completely different signal. Neither the DisplayPort nor the HDMI interfaces officially have a single port be bidirectional. This implementation is 100% custom to Apple, though. So since Apple enabled their plug to accept a DisplayPort signal input, it's easily converted to HDMI. But that's because DisplayPort is the same basic signal as HDMI, just over a different physical plug. Note that in 27" 2009 or 2010 iMacs (which have just mini DisplayPort, not Thunderbolt) a simple mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter will allow for it. To input video, you need an HDMI capture device, like an Elgato Game Capture HD or similar. It's like asking why PCs with DisplayPort outputs can't take HDMI input through them. It's not something to "fix." It's just the way it is. The thread title is HDMI through thunderbolt, will it be possible? I say yes.at a price, and if intel don't cripple the input through high costs and limited licensing.

You realise that you can also use other usb 3.0 video inputs for windows via bootcamp right? So you're not just limited to Apple compatible products?Īlso if you bought a new iMac then you would have surely looked into the pros and cons of what inputs and outputs it can deal with. As for not putting a HDMI input into the iMacs, why should they? The majority of people do not use their iMacs for this reason, and if they did then they can probably afford the options out there. They have(OWN) the licence for thunderbolt(read the links I put up), not apple. Yes you should blame intel for the adaptor part. The thunderbolt version?, well I don't know but the speed difference would probably sort that problem out. How do you know there is lag in the black magic intensity box? have you tried it? I did the experiment with the USB 3.0 box and there was a very small occasional amount of lag there. Nearly 2 years later and the adapter has yet to be released, which sucks big time as I had hoped to be able to use my iMac as a screen for my Xbox.ĭo you think there will ever be a Thunderbolt solution for HDMI input to the iMacs? Or, do you think Apple will ever introduce an iMac with proper HDMI input? I see that all of ASUS's all-in-ones have HDMI-IN, so it's a shame really that Apple refuses to introduce it in their iMacs.įor now, the only option seems to be to purchase an old Mini Displayport-iMac, in case you want to opt for this solution. Good thing I thought, and happily purchased the Thunderbolt iMac. Back then, in 2011, Kanex claimed they were working on a Thunderbolt compatible version of the Kanex XD Adapter. In 2011 Apple introduced the Sandy Bridge iMacs with Thunderbolt technology, making it impossible for the Kanex adapters to work. Back in the days, Kanex and several other companies made Mini Displayport to HDMI adapters, making it possible to connect a PS3/Xbox 360 to the iMacs display. Remember the old 27" iMacs from 2009-2011? The ones which used the Mini Displayport rather than Thunderbolt.
