Video & DAC Connectivity
« on: August 04, 2018, 08:52:52 am »

For my Job I will have a new MacBook Pro with thunderbold 3.0. It is My First Apple Computer in my life.

I have two questions:

1. The Mac Version of MC only supports RO Standard?
2. What's the best way to connect the MacBook Pro to a 4K  TV (HDMI 2.0) and to route the audio Channel via Ethernet to my Devialet?

1. Correct
2. USB-C->HDMI Adapter and USB-C->Ethernet Adapter would be my guess.

The video support in MC for Mac is totally different than MC for Windows.  "Red October" doesn't exist in this version.

I would think that trying to use a DLNA based renderer, like the Devialet, while playing video, would be very difficult to sync properly.  If you've done it with MC for Windows, then perhaps it's no problem at all.  But I would expect audio sync to be an issue.

Thank you very much. The Mac will not replace the Windows based Environment, but I want to know How MC feels on the Mac.
