DrBott test with PS3 on 27" iMac

Hello all.

This video is about Dr. Bott which is a cable for the PS3/Xbox 360 and iMac 27".
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

The video is recorded with my HTC Desire.

I have brought the device from Amazon.co.uk :)

hi there i would really appreciate if you helped me out with this.. I just got the same dr.bott from amazon.. before I connected it to my imac i changed the resolution on the xbox to 720p as thats the resolution it supports.. and now when i connect everything up and press 'command f2' and nothing happens? is there something that i have to set up on the imac with the resolution? this is so frustrating.. thannnnks

@demin8512 I have never tryed the solution with a Xbox 360. Sorry

[Kehaan]

@stuprint It is not possible to use 1080p. I have looked at Kanex XD, and the reason is: " Here is why: the EDID (extended display identification data) embedded in the display only accepts two input resolutions: 2560x1440 and 1280x720. The first resolution is not supported by PS3 and Xbox because the highest resolution output they support is 1920x1080, or 1080p. But since the iMac doesn't recognize 1080p input resolution, the sources must be set to 720p for proper video pass through."

i would like to play my ps3 on my 27" imac but the cable ur using is 720p ive tried looking for a 1080p atleast and cant find one. the screen is capable of 1440 resalution, 720 is too low. 1080p is standard.

@xGadgetTime

Why do you think so

I think it is the same Technical Base

I set the PS3 to 720p. But when i play (PES 2010 / 2011, MW2) the quality is really bad. Why might that be?
