Connecting a Studio Display without adaptor?

Hi, i was just wondering if it's possible to connect a studio display to an xServe without the use of an adaptor. i can't get in behind out xServe here in the office to see what ports are available but i somehow feel it doesn't connect directly with the displays.
The reason i need to connect a display is to use TimeMachine as it doesn't work through the VNC software we have here

Hi
If it's an Intel XServe you will need the adapter it came with.

  • W530 : How to connect 4 external displays without USB DOC

    I want to connect multi displays without USB-DOC.
    Is it correct as follows?
    1. Change connector type from mini-display port to display port.
    2. "Display port to Dual display port adaptor" connect.
    3. At Each port, more "Display port to Dual display port adaptor" connect..
    Please tell me solution.
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This setup won't work.
    You would need a Series 3 Dock workstation with 2 sets of DP ports.
    Then you would need a dp splitter for each of the DP ports on the dock.

  • Connecting 15" studio display LCD to MacPro

    Do I need the DVI to ADC adapter to connect my "old" 15" Studio Display (LCD) to the MacPro?
    Just bought the MacPro, upgrading from my G4 Powermac circa 2001. No one at the Apple Store mentioned needing an adapter even though I said I had an older display from 6 years ago. I am not happy to say the least. Partly went for the MacPro because I had this display, though small by current standards. Now another $100 I did not expect.
    Any recommendations for displays...at a smaller price? Maybe I should have gone with an iMac....
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately hardly anyone stops to think that some older Apple displays used the ADC adapter. I bet half of the staff don't even know what an ADC connector is. Anyway, yes you will need the ADC to DVI adapter unless you can already convert your video signal to VGA. In that case you can then use the includes VGA to DVI adapter that was included with your Mac Pro.

    You can try Dell. They often have specials which results in very cheap displays.

    My parents just bought iMacs (24" with 2.33GHz upgrades) and while they're very nice they can't come close to the performance of the Mac Pro, especially if you implement RAID 0. So while you might be a bit deflated over this just remember that you did buy a far better performing system.

  • Connecting Studio Display 17' To iMac

    hey, my mom had a old mac with the silver tower. And she had a studio Display 17" and she just recently got a cinema dispaly and gave the screen to me. I am wondering what adapters i need to connect the Studio Display 17" TO my iMac G5. Thanks.

    Hi
    You need to use a DVI to ADC adapter. They're available from Apple or Dr. Bott. The ADC connector was introduced with the Gigabit Ethernet G4s and requires an extra power connector on the logic board just above the standard AGP slot. The Sawtooth models lack this, hence the power has to be supplied externally via an adapter. Unfortunately they're fairly expensive as the adapter includes the power supply.

    I'm not sure whether the above link will time out, but you can search the German online Apple store for DVI ADC adapter.

  • Connect 17" Studio CRT to Quicksilver 867 mhz G4

    I have a 17" CRT Studio Display connected to my B&W G3. I just got a Quicksilver 867 mhz G4 and I am wondering what kind of adapter(s) I will need to connect the Studio Display to the G4. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the information. That's plug looks exactly like what I need. However, I am still wondering about the other half of the solution that involves the monitor's power source. Currently, I am using this monitor on an old B&W G3. The power cord that comes from the monitor plugs directly into the back of the G3 tower to get its power. That connection is a female plug rather than the standard male wall-socket plug. I am guessing that I could just replace that monitor cord with a standard computer power cord, plug it in, and have the monitor get its power directly from the wall socket rather than through the computer.
    Does that make sense?

  • 17inch Studio Display - What Cable to connect to Mac Pro?

    Hi Folks:
    I just got a Mac Pro with a 23" cinema display, and an ATI X-1900 card, but I also have a 17inch Studio Display that I was using with a G5. Which cable adapter do I need to connect the 17inch display to the Mac Pro as a second monitor?

    I have the 17 inch studio display connected to my Mac Pro (X1900) via the ADC to DVI adaptor. It sits next to a 23in Cinema HD Display. If you do this be prepared for the rather shocking difference in display quality. I hardly ever use the 17in because I can't stand to look at it compared to the 23in. You probably are better off getting a newer cheaper monitor rather than spending $100 bucks on the adaptor.

  • Is there a way to connect the Apple TV as a second display without it automatically changing my Mac's audio output?

    Is there a way to connect the Apple TV as a second display without it automatically changing my Mac's audio output? I would prefer to use an audio interface for playback and the apple tv as a third display. I know I can go back to system preferences and swap my output back manually, but it is getting to be really inconvienient. Thoughts?

    thank you.
    (both apple studio displays are the LCD versions. they are NOT aluminum. they are the plastic ones.)

  • Apple Studio Display 15" LCD Flatscreen Monitor to connect to my MBP

    hi have an older 15 inch studio display that has the ACD connection any suggestion on how to get it to work with my macbook pro to do dual monitors? thanks!

    In order to do this you need to use an adapter to go from DVI to ADC. This can be found here http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=187 2D402&nplm=M8661LL/B
    Good luck hope that works out!

  • Connect MacBook with Studio Display Monitor (2000)

    I am trying to connect my MacBook with an old Studio Display monitor (made in 2000) that has an ADC 30 Male cord. I have a Mini-DVI to DVI 24 Female Adapter that fits into my laptop. I can't seem to find a DVI 24 Male to ADC 30 Female adapter, which is what appears I need. Is there anything I can do to make this work? Thanks!

  • Can I connect an iBook G4 12" to a Studio display?

    Wirelessly, only if the display supports AirPlay.  Or if the display is Displayport or HDMI, connect with an AppleTV.

  • My 11 year old Apple studio display died. what is best connection with new monitor

    The lCD light finally quit after 12 years. So I bought a very cheap acer /led widescreenS200HQL 19 inch as a cheap quick replacement for my monitor on my  quicksilver G4 933. Question is it is connected to the second display port VGA... Is it worth buying a connector so it can be connected to the larger DVI port(where the apple studio display was connected?) will that make any difference??? Things seem fine but was curious as to the difference???

    Many of the Studio displays were ADC. Are you sure that other port is really DVI and not ADC?
    My 2004 MDD vid card has one DVI and one ADC connector. I have it connected to a Viewsonic display from about 2007 with both VGA and DVI ports. When I connect the DVI port directly to the DVI port on the G4, the native res looks good but it too small to read (old, tired eyes). If I change the desktop res to make things a little bigger, the image looks like carp--fuzzy and possibly some distortion.
    If I use the DVI-to-VGA adapter on the computer and connect it to the monitor. the image is shape and proper at any support desktop res I select.
    You mileage may vary.
