2nd Apple Cinema Display calibration!

i owned one 23" Apple Cinema Display before purchasing a second used 23" Display a year later, to create a dual display editing suite.
While setting up the second monitor i selected the same profile as my first monitor, but noticed that the second monitor was more yellow. i tried calibrating the monitor the get the two to match, this was not successful!
Can anybody help?

I have a 23" iMac and a 24" Cinema Display, both purchased at the same time, and the colors are not the same. I have calibrated both with a Spyder Pro system and with the Apple software but still get very different hues on the some photo showing on both screens.

  • Apple Cinema Display Calibration

    Hello,
    I have tried googling for this, but I have come up empty.
    Is it possible for an Apple Cinema Display to be calibrated to the DICOM 14 standard?
    http://medical.nema.org/dicom/2004/04_14PU.PDF
    In short is a specific logarithmic grayscale gamma, with other requirements.

  • Calibrating Apple Cinema Display for Video Editing

    What's the procedure to calibrate an Apple Cinema Display for editing in FCP (editing and preliminary color grading)?
    My camcorder can produce color bars, but I can't hook it up directly to the monitor. Shall I record color bars and use the recorded clip to calibrate? What's the procedure regarding calibration?
    Thanks!

    The need to "calibrate" a display for video "editing" is a complete fallacy. There is no need to have accurate images when plopping pictures and graphics next to each other to create a story in a linear fashion. For accuracy you need a dedicated input/output device with a display that represents your intended delivery; projection, broadcast, whatever. If your intended delivery is web or phone only, well, it's a total rodeo where the word "consistency" has no meaning at all.
    The MXO, it puts a look up table on a computer monitor and then does some other electronic mumbo jumbo to simulate interlacing and other tv junk. I call it lipstick on a pig, others here will give it high marks.
    The only real constant is that if you want to play in the world of "hd", the costs are bigger than in "sd" and is the return on investment worth it?

  • Is it possible to connect both a Wacom 24in. Cintinq AND a 30 in. Apple Cinema Display to any of the current line of iMacs?

    I currently have a Wacom 24HD Cintiq and a 30 in. Apple Cinema Display hooked up to an old '06 Mac Pro. I'd like to purchase a new iMac to replace the Pro. Is it possible to attach the Cintiq and Cinema Display to it?

    Hello, it depends what kind of inputs those Monitors have, but if I see them correctly...
    30" needs this...

    A notable peculiarity of Thunderbolt is that it uses exactly the same connector as Mini Display Port, and that's not all. The Thunderbolt connector also carries Mini Display Port video signals. That means you can plug a Mini Display Port video cable/adapter in to a Thunderbolt connector and your monitor will work.
    If you plan to do other things with your Thunderbolt connector and don't want it wasted on a monitor, you can also choose an HDMI --> DVI adapter, which for your purposes will be functionally equivalent.
    You can even use both at the same time.

  • 23" Apple Cinema Display and accurate color?

    I use a dual 2.3GHz Power Mac G5 along with a 23" Apple Cinema Display fro graphic design work. I used to use a Pantone Color calibration device when I was using third-party monitors with my Macs. Now that I have the Cinema Display, I haven't bothered to calibrate this wonderful monitor. I had heard that using Apple's displays with their own computers would display the most accurate color possible without calibration. I haven't changed the color settings in my Adobe products, and I'm not seeing any significant issues with my color outputs. Any advice on this subject is appreciated.

    If the display uses the Apple Display Connector (ADC)
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.j pg/800px-AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    you will need a DVI to ADC adapter.

  • I cannot calibrate my Apple Cinema Display without getting an error message.  I've done it many times before.

    I have a 23" Apple Cinema Display and a MacPro running Snow Leopard.  Using the built in calibration system I have calibrated the display several times in the past, but now I get an error message: The new calibrated display profile could  not be  created or set to be the current profile for this display."  I have no applications open when I do the calibrating. 

    Launch the Terminal application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. If that doesn’t work, then in the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    ls -Odel Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered – the text, please, not a screenshot.

  • I think I've set-up FCP7 on 2 Apple Cinema Displays

    Hmmmmmm! I don't know if I've done things correctly but I seem to have FCP7 running on both monitors.
    I'm running a 8 Core Mac Pro, with 2 GT120 cards and 2 24" Apple Cinema Displays.
    This is what I've done:
    I've loaded up FCP7. I have the Browser, Viewer and Timeline in the left hand monitor.
    I've dragged the Canvas to the right hand monitor and the View/Video Plackback I've set it to Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Full Screen.
    I now am able to make all my changes in the left hand monitor and can see a full screen preview in the right hand monitor.
    The only downer is that I have a massive gap where the Canvas once was!! I can make the Viewer or Browser bigger but this just seems like a cheat!!!
    Is what I've done the correct way of doing things? Or is it just a work around/cheating?

    So is there anyway to make the Canvas resemble what the final version of the edit would look like? Both in terms of size, colour and style?
    The 2nd monitor (large or small) will still only show you a proxy image. If you want to know what the edit is really going to look like, you'll need an external monitoring solution. This includes an external monitor fed by a device that converts from computer color space to video colorspace. The monitor should be adjustable using color bars to deal with color drift.
    I don't see the point in using the entire 2nd screen for the browser. Feels like such a waste of space.
    You must not have a lot of clips. I usually put the Browser and Effects tabs on the second monitor and at times I'll turn my 24" Dell to portrait mode to display more clips in list mode.

  • How do I attach my iSight camera to my Apple Cinema Display?

    I've just bought two iSight cameras, and found nothing in the accessory kit with them that would allow me to attach the camera to my Apple Cinema Display. This is because the back of the Cinema Display is beveled rather than flat, so the flat base of the accessories won't set firmly.
    Does anybody have a solution for this?

  • Can I use an Apple Cinema Display as a second monitor for my iMac?

    I have a new 24" intel iMac and was wondering if I could use my old 20" Apple Cinema Display (aluminum) as a dual display. What cables do I need?

    Just had a good look inside my box and nothing. Maybe it's a Apple UK thing
    The back of my iMac does have a Mini DVI port so I'm gonna pop down the Apple store tomorrow morning to pick one up.
    Thanks for the advice, I'll let you know if I'm successful.

  • Can I use a 30" Apple Cinema display with a new 27" iMac?

    I have a brand new iMac(27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), i7 3.5 GHz, 32MB RAM, 4GB NVIDIA.  I will soon be upgrading it to Mavericks, if that makes a difference.  My understanding is that the resolution on it is 2560 x 1440.
    I'm looking at buying a used 30" Apple Cinema display.  I'd like to use it with my new iMac.  The only advantage for me would be that the 30" screen is larger and things on it easier to see (or so I'm guessing).
    I need to know if the 30" Cinema display would work with my new iMac, and if it would, as I'm guessing, give me a larger, easier-to-see screen.
    I currently have my new iMac connected to my old mid-2010 iMac as a target display (that old iMac has a minidisplay port--no Thunderbolt), and that works great.  I just want a larger screen.
    I called Apple support, and the tech rep wasn't sure it would work.  He seemed to think that the 30" Cinema displays were made with different connections.  Some had minidisplay ports (which he thought would work), and some a cord built into them that provided some other type of connection (that I guess would not work as far as he knew).
    Can anyone tell me if this would work?  Would my new iMac and its video card support the 30" Cinema display?  Would the result be as sharp and good-looking as my iMac's built-in 27" display, but only bigger (which is what I'm hoping for)?  Any advice is appreciated.
    I don't yet know many of the specifics of the 30" Cinema display I'm considering.  I know it is about 3 years old.  And here is a picture of the back of it:

    Yes, you should be able use the 30" Cinema Display with your new iMac without problems. You'll need a mini-DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter
    I haven't had the 30" myself to test so I don't know if there any caveats. Perhaps someone else here will have personal experience.

  • How to connect old Apple Cinema Display to new Mac Mini?

    Hello,
    I'm considering replacing an old Mac Mini with the new model, but I intend to keep on using my old Apple Cinema Display 20" with it. But i'm having some trouble finding the right conversor (it seems there isn't any from Apple...)
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    If by "old" apple cinema the OP is referring to the aluminum displays of the later mac models, then yes, that's a no-brainer, the problem is that if the OP is referring to the "real" old apple cinema displays, which have a DVI-type connection with power included on the same cable, like the displays the former Mac G4 or G5 had, then he needs a ADP to DVI port, which in most cases it cost more than the actual monitor itself.. I guess the OP needs to specify what does it mean by old apple displays or throw in a link to an image..

  • How do i connect my Fujitsu Tablet + mac Pro to Apple Cinema Display 23'?

    Dear Mac users
    thanks in advance for your help.
    I currently own:
    • Fujitsu T 4220 (tablet) – Mobile Intel 965 Express – 60 Hertz – goes up to 1680*1050 (guess SXGA) – (it has the following other supported resolutions: 1400*1050, 1280*1024, 1280*768, 1280*720, 1024*768, and 800*600)
    • Mac Pro
    • Apple Cinema Display 23’
    What I would like to do is, please refer to the jpeg posted on http://www.flickr.com/photos/34831802@N06/3234336204/, connect – at the same time – my tablet pc and my Mac Pro to the 23' Apple Cinema Display and switch (when I need) from tablet to MacPro using the same 23’ ACD. Top would be to be able to switch for one to the other while they’re both switched on. Usually on 2 pc’s with vga I’d use a switch A → B (in the jpeg it would be I → E) with a selector.
    Have been reading different posts such as: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8000641&#8000641 or http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6530475&#6530475 or
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7417258&#7417258
    + others on the net and have (hopefully) understood that:
    a) from Vga to Dvi I need a converter such as Geffen’s or similar
    b) the problem with ACD 23’ is that it has only 3 resolutions: 1024*640, 1280*800 or 1920*1200
    In the attached image I guessed a connection in order to connect – at the same time – both the machines to the 23’ ACD:
    1) my fujitsu tablet (i in the image) has to be connected, with a Vga cable (h), to the Vga → Dvi converter (g).
    2) from the Vga → Dvi converter (g) I need to connecto to the Dvi switch (c)
    3) easier is connecting the Mac Pro (e), since I only need a Dvi cable (d) to connecto to the Dvi switch (c)
    4) the Dvi switch (c) will then be connected to the 23’ ACD with a Dvi cable
    Now, my questions are:
    a) is the solution described above (Vga cable (h) to the Vga → Dvi converter (g)) a good solution or should I use, instead, a docking statione that comes with a Fujitsu Port Replicator (FPCPR65) which has a 1 x DVI-D port?
    b) Given the 3 resolution accepted by the 23’ ACD (1024*640, 1280*800 or 1920*1200), I do not understand if I can use my tablet through a Vga to Dvi Converter and at which resolution (my tablet has the following other supported resolutions: 1680*1050, 1400*1050, 1280*1024, 1280*768, 1280*720, 1024*768, and 800*600).
    c) Is there a way, also using an external video card or converter, to bring my resolution from 1680*1050 to 1920*1200? (the 16:10 ratio is in fact the same = WXGA (1280x800), WXGA+ (1440x900), WSXGA+ (1680x1050), WUXGA (1920x1200)
    d) Talking about Vga → Dvi converter (g), am aware of the gefen product. Can you please list some others that might be good as well?
    e) And how about the DVI switch? Any will work? Any particular suggestion?
    Thank you very much for your help.
    If you have any other suggestion, please let me know.
    Regards,
    Emil
