PowerBook and iPod Photo on Your TV
The easiest way to share your photos and iMovies with others
It’s fun to create photo albums and home movies with Apple iPhoto and iMovie, but it’s difficult to share your creations with everyone in the room. Now with the Monster iTV Link, you can use the bigger screen of your TV so everyone gets to watch! iPhoto’s "slide show" mode shows off your pictures with professional-quality fading while playing a song from iTunes that you pick to match. With full-screen TV support in iMovie and your Apple DVD player software, you can debut your iMovie project or play a blockbuster hit. You can even use iTV Link with Apple's new iPod Photo.

Monster iTV™ Link for PowerBook
Advanced Monster Technology S-video and audio cable maximizes the video and sonic quality of your PowerBook and TV. Translation... get ready for killer picture and sound.
Your PowerBook is capable of delivering DVD quality picture and CD quality digital audio. iTV Link incorporates Monster Cable’s latest audio and video cable technologies, like nitrogen-injected dielectrics and multiple-gauge wire networks, for the best picture and sound possible. iTV Link also takes advantage of your PowerBooks S-video connection for a brighter, more colorful and detailed picture than ordinary RCA composite video.

Apple and Monster Make it Easy
Your PowerBook comes with a built-in TV Video output jack. Both Mac OS9 and OSX will auto-sense a connected TV, just like when you plug in a computer monitor. Monster combined all three audio and video cables in an all-in-one design, so everything stays neat and simple. It's also an extra-long 10 feet, so you can reach a convenient and safe resting place for you PowerBook. With iPhoto and iMovie and Monster's iTV Link, sharing your favorite memories have never been easier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Multi-Purpose cables - not only for PowerBooks, June 16, 2003

This review is from: Monster A ITV PB -10 iTV½ Link+ for 15" and 17" PowerBook½ Computer, iPod½ Photo and Video iPod with Universal Dock (10 ft.) (Personal Computers)

Monster cable has constructed a cool product. The Black and White color theme makes it look like a very classy and expensive product made for video/audiophiles. I was surprised to find not only nice packaging, but a nice product.

First of you will notice the bright white color for the RCA and S-Video jacks. These are set against the Black nylon-like mesh jacket. This is strong and definitely sturdy. It wraps all the cables in one round tube to keep the wire orgainzed.

Next you will find the gold-plated tips and color-coded and labeled jacks which are standard features.

What's great about this product is that it is 10-feet long, which I find to be the perfect length without losing signal degradation. Compare this with other Monster cable products which are shorter and longer - and of course more expensive. This is a good multi-purpose product that should not be targeted for PowerBooks only.

I have an Apple PBG4, but I actually use this more on my PC for my editing purpose. Just connect the S-video on each end. Then the mini-audio jacks to your sound card, while the other end (L and R RCA jacks) to your TV audio IN.

Furthermore, you can use it as an audio out for your portables to connect to your home component. Or why not just use the S-video. It's perfect for bringing around with your laptop, but it can serve as a permanent cable.

Of course, if you want higher grade cables like THX-certified components then you need cables of higher quality which are thicker and (ideally) shorter for less signal loss.

All-in-all, an investment you will not regret.

5.0 out of 5 stars So simple, it doesn't need instructions..., March 25, 2005

If you need instructions, you can use the following: Insert one end of the cables into Device A. Insert the other end of the cables in Device B. Congratulations, you are done.

If you buy a cable with an S-Video connector and are then suprised to find out that your television does not have S-Video, why do you blame the cable? Shouldn't you just be embarrassed for yourself? Read the product description, people!

The cable delivers fine audio and video quality, which is, OF COURSE, dependent on the source material and the television or monitor you are using, not the cable. "Broadcast" an NTSC signal to your television across this cable and it will look as good as the picture you usually enjoy. It's well constructed and is more attractive than most cables to boot.

If you're smart enough to know what you are buying, this will meet your needs.

4.0 out of 5 stars People rating it low don't understand how it works..., October 25, 2004

This review is from: Monster A ITV PB -10 iTV½ Link+ for 15" and 17" PowerBook½ Computer, iPod½ Photo and Video iPod with Universal Dock (10 ft.) (Personal Computers)

Those of you complaining of poor image quality obviously have never hooked your laptop up to a TV. The limitation in the image quality lies with the television, which is relatively (very) low resoltuion and not designed for the precise demands of computer use. Whether you use a Monster cable or a $2 Radio Shack cable, the outcome will almost be the same because the TV is the limitation, not the cable!!

As far as how it works... your PowerBook's manual explains how to hook it up to a TV. And if you don't know where to plug it in (um, if you put it into Video 1, set the TV to video 1, etc...) then you probably shouldn't be using a computer in the first place.

Seriously, people. This cable, like most Monster produts, is overpriced, but it's engineered well, the all-in-one convenience rocks, and it has a great warranty.
