I'm looking to connect my MBP 13" 2011 model to large tv's etc I mainly use this for video djing.



Now I have several adapters: MDP to HDMI, MDP to VGA, MDP to DVI



Which of these adapters can I use along with the right converters as a middle man to get down to:



Composite (yellow)

&

Component (RGB)



Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

    Pretty sure you can't get there from here. Not 100%, but composite is older than dirt so I wouldn't expect adapters to carry analog signals down to it.

    VGA to S-Video/RCA:

    VGA to Component (6ft linked, they have lengths from 6 inches to 50 feet):

    Just look around on that site until you find what you need. The prices are great, the quality is very good, and their selection of cables is amazing. I think you'll have the best luck going through VGA since composite and component are both analog signals. If you can find something that goes through Mini DisplayPort, it'll work; I'm just talking in terms of availability.
