Will this device allow me to go from a Sony camera with DV output to a Macbook Air (audio and video) for editing purposes?

If the camera is a DV cam (firewire) I would suggest getting a Firewire 400 to Thunderbolt adapter (if your Macbook supports Thunderbolt).

It will not capture from the DV output, but if your camera has component output (a cable that came with your camera that connects to the camera on one end and has red, blue, and green RCA plugs on the other end -- see your camera's manual), the Shuttle should accept it (although there may be a slight loss of quality due to the conversion to analog component in the camera and then back to digital in the camera).

Macbook Air's have at least one USB 3.0 so the Intensity can connect to it. The Intensity does not, however, have a DV in/out port. Even if you had a way to convert DV to HDMI/component/composite, your Macbook Air might not be able to record from the intensity as high or low quality as you would like. The Intensity does not support resolutions lower than 480p and your Macbook Air might not be able to record 1080p or 720p@60 fps depending on what model you have and, more importantly, the quality of the hard drive in it.

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

As far as I know, mini displayPort and Thunderbolt are one way, that is they send video out from the MacBook Pro. They are not inputs. Most common way of importing video is via the firewire connection on the Macbook. They sell similar looking devices like this one that take rca inputs and convert them to firewire outputs.

Yes it will. Your setting will have to be changed so your display is either "duplicated" on the external screen or "extended" - whichever you prefer. The issue with MacBooks though is that before about 2010, the HDMI port does not transfer sound in addition to video through the cable - you would have to connect an audio in cable from your computer's headphone jack to the television digital audio in as well. Research some Apple forums on the specifics for your model.

yes. You need a cable, depending on the laptop. I have a Macbook Air, it has a mini DVR (?) port.

Yup the ultra studio works perfect for that... But just remember u need a thunderbolt port in your mac!

No, it doesn't. The Vado uses h.264 for video encoding, and AAC for audio encoding, both of which are supported by OS X, QuickTime, and iMovie.

Yes, it connects to the Mac's firewire port and can download footage directly into iMovie (if you want). I own this camera and use it with my Mac Mini, running OS 10.4

I have only transferred video fro the camera to a Windows PC and it was using the firewire cable. I guess there must exist some firewire adapter for the mac.

I think so. The device is looking for VGA/resolution signals only, nothing about OS as long as you can convert Mac's signal to VGA output.

No...the software is not Mac compatible. However the camera can be made to work with a Mac. I use Parallels or Bootcamp and run the included software on Windows on my Macbook Air.

Not sure...if you are talking about going from one computer/device to the Mac, then you would just need something like Audacity on the MacBook and a cord from a sound output on the one computer/device and the other end connected to the imic, seems like it should work.

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.

Would know, never used it on a Mac. It's a good device for capturing low quality composite video.

it worked to connect my Sony Video Camera to my iMac. Keep in mind the computer did not automatically see the camera. I had to open the video software, which recognized the video camera
