Connecting two 2560x1440 Monitors via 2 MiniDP to DP Cables

Hi, everyone!
I have a quick question. I recently bought a Macbook Pro Retina 13", and I'd like to connect it to two Dell 27" monitors that run at 2560x1440. From reading online, the Macbook Pro comes with two thunderbolt slots that are the equivalent of two miniDP slots. A miniDP to DP connector to my monitor will give me the full 2560x1440 resolution.
If that is the case, is it possible for me to use two miniDP to DP cables to connect each of my monitors at their native 2560x1440 resolution? That seems like a good way to avoid having to get the Dual-link DVI cables.
Thanks,
Kirupa

Hello,
I am using an Asus PB278 monitor at its full resolution (2560x1440) with my MacBook Pro Retina 13" (Late 2012).
The monitor is connected via DisplayPort to miniDisplayPort cable and the monitor is working flawless.
Using two DP to miniDP cables should be no problem, although the high resolution is pushing the Integrated Graphics to its limit.

  • Connect two external monitors to mini DP(using a mini DP to VGA adapter) and the VGA out at once

    I am trying to  connect two external monitors to mini DP(using a mini DP to VGA adapter) and the VGA out at once. Windows recognize both monitors as well. But it dowsn't let me use all three monitors at once(see the below image). In the dropdown, it lists all three monitors. Problem is there are two active displays I can select.

    The GPU(s) in your T400 (and most other laptop brands) will support two different displays concurrently.  If you want to support more than two different displays concurrently, you will need another GPU external to the T400.
    Generally, if you want to use two external displays on a T400 you will nee dto use a docking station.
    I have read messages on various fora on this topic and know that there are a number of ways of doing this, but as I have never had a need to do this myself I can't tell you how to go about it.

    Did you try to hook up both monitors to the Belkin adaptor? Trying will determine if your monitor has a bad input port. See if the Belkin adaptor is the problem. I have never used that specific adaptor, but I have always had luck with the Dr. Bott's DVI for ADC adaptor. Best of luck.

  • Connecting Two Airport Express Via Ethernet

    I have a unique situation in which I would like to connect two airport express via ethernet. Here is the situation: I can connect the first AX directly to the internet and set up a WDS for the second AX. Unfortunately, the second AX signal does not reach where I need it to go. I can run an ethernet cable between the two. Is this setting valid for a WDS? Or does the WDS have to be wireless? If I can set up the WDS using an ethernet, will the relay AX broadcast the internet wirelessly then?
    Are there any specific settings I should know about?
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks in advance,
    Debbie

    I currently have an old snow basestation at this location. Can I plug an ethernet cable into it and connect it to the AX?
    Yes that will work.
    My understanding was that the older basestation could not do this?
    I think you have it confused with extending a network wirelessly. That is not possible with the snow AirPort base station (ABS).

  • Connecting two Acer monitors with VGA and DVI output to my Macbook Pro (mid 2010)

    Hi All,
    I need to connect 2 Acer monitors that have both VGA and DVI ports to my MacBook Pro.  What's the best way to do that?
    Thanks for your help!

    hey! Thats normal for notebook! That actually happens to almost all of us - as there are a small fraction of people with two and more thunderbolt displays or with newest rMBP and external multi-monitor setup.

  • Connecting two distant servers via a common WAN Internet connection.

    Hi all,
    I have two servers located in two different countries. For example Server A (Windows 2003 with Active directory) is located in Singapore. Another Server B (also Windows 2003 Server with Active Directory) is located in Kuala Lumpur. Both computers are connected to Internet via local ISP (WAN connection with dynamic IP) to respective countries.  There is few local users at each places which are connected to local servers at both places with LAN.
    I would like to connect these two servers togather via WAN (Internet- may be tunnelling, VPN, I don't know much what are other technologies) My objective is to connect both Server A and Server B so that I can keep track of active directory information, user management and authentication. Please let me know how can I achieve that? What are needed and what configuration and addition device, server needed. Please give me simple, detailed cost effective methods.
    Thanks.

    First you want to get static IP's and then you can setup an IPSEC tunnel or site to site VPN.  Then you will want to creat a trust between the 2 domains if they are in different forests.  Then you can add your user account to a universal group (forest functional level must be at Server 2003 level) for enterprise management.

  • Connecting two EA6500 routers via wireless bridge

    Hi, I want to know how can we bridge two EA6500 routers via wireless. I do not want to use the lan cable. Please help.
    Thanks,
    anandp

    This setup is not possible. You can only cascade the routers via wired connection. The access points on these routers are mainly transmitters, they're not receivers so you can't associate them wirelessly. You can, however, get a wireless bridge to do the job. Check out the Dual Band N Entertainment Bridge WET610N and Wireless N Universal Media Connector WES610N.

    depends. for syncing and software updates: yes.
    for putting e.g. MS Office files or .pdf files on it: check out e.g. _*Flash Drive*_ or _*Documents To Go*_. both require a wi-fi connection, though.
    what about if I download any bluetooth program from the App Store ( For Example: iBlueNova ).
    searching the app store for iBlueNova did not bring up anything for me. instead, search for +bluetooth fileshare+. maybe that app is for you ...

  • Satellite P100: Can I connect two external monitor to VGA & DVI port at the same time?

    The Satellite P100 comes with two external monitor port. A VGA and a DVI. Can you have have two external monitor working at the same time? Can you have two external monitor as well as your internal display working at the same time (for a total of 3 display at the same time?
    Here is what I have confirm:
    Internal display + DVI connector display
    OR
    Internal display + VGA connector display
    Is it possible to have:
    DVI connector display + VGA connector display?
    OR
    DVI connector display + VGA connector display + Internal display?

    As far as I know this is not possible and you can use either DVI or VGA port.
    For signal output can be used only one port for external display.

  • With MacBooks Retina 13" can you connect two external monitors with resolution each 2560x1600?

    I'm not talking about Thunderbolt displays, but other brands like ASUS, LG, SAMSUNG, etc.
    Has anyone tested?

    You can connect two displays to the two Thunderbolt ports with appropriate Mini DisplayPort cables or adapters.
    <http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/>
    "Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on up to two external displays"
    If the display supports HDMI, you could connect one to the computer's HDMI port, but not at 60Hz.
    "Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz"

  • Can I connect two actiontec mI424wr via coax?

    I have a new addition in my home, with an home entertainment area with poor reception from my current actiontec router.   I have acquired a second Actiontec off eBay that I want to connect to my coax in the new addition so I can add some "wired" ethernet connections to the xbox, sling, blu-ray etc.   I have seen many posts about a MOCA bridge, but I am not sure that is really what I a trying to do.   I have an existing Actiontec, that is controlling the menus and VOD for my TV service.   I just want to connect the second router via coax so I have faster and reliable internet in this new addition as well.   Help!  I am somewhat technically savvy, and can follow config instructions, but not a networking expert.     Thanks.

    The MoCA bridge is exactly what you want.   While you can reconfigure the second ActionTec to essentially act as a MoCA bridge (there are links here on the forum as well as DSLreports on how to do it), I would encourage you to just go with the bridge as it's much simpler (there is no configuration required).
    Simply install the MoCA bridge (ActionTec HME2200/ECB2200) and connect it to an active Coax connection in your addition.  It will pair with the primary ActionTec router elsewhere in the home.   Then, if you have more than one device that needs connected, get a small switch (not router) online -- should run you less than $20 for a 5 or 8 port unit -- and connect it to the MoCA bridge and all of your devices -- again, no configuration required.
    If you decide you really want to use the router instead, you essentially need to disable all of the WAN interfaces (so it doesn't fight with your primary router trying to get an internet address) and then disable the LAN features such as the DHCP server so that it essentially acts as a MoCA bridge with 4 port switch.

  • Connecting Two ASAs together via local interface

    Hi
    I have two cisco ASA routers & wish to connect them together so that traffic between is permitted with out going outside interface.
    Two asa are located at in ONE office and two have separate internet connection (ISP) configured.
    So here is what I did so far.
    configure one of the interface on each ASA with some IP adddress.
    ASA 1  ------- interface 0/6   10.1.1.1  (ASA X 1512)
    ASA 2 --------- interface 0/5  10.2.2.2  (ASA 5055)
    now connected a Ethernet cable to these inferface.
    I was able to addd a route on asa 2.
    route add interface0/5 10.1.1.0/24  10.2.2.2
    but when I add route on ASA 1 I get the following error.
    route add interface0/6 10.2.2.2/24  10.1.1.1
    %invalid next hop address it belongs to one of our interface.

    Sorry if I was not clear
    I have two separate ISPs connecting two two separate ASAs.. Two asa are now connecting separate LANs.
    Now I want to communicate between LANs.
    So I connected an ethernet cable bw ASAs and trying to configure the route.
    But not able to establish
    Here is the configuration of ASA where I am faceing problem, while trying to add route

  • Connecting two 27" iMacs via mini DisplayPort

    Juz a thought. Wonder if possible.
    Since the 27-incher iMac does video input and output, instead of buying two 30" displays ($1799 each), might as well buy two of these 27" iMacs ($1999 each) and connect them via their mini DisplayPorts. Wonder if it's possible to use one 27-incher for computing and use the other as a second monitor, and switch around whenever it's needed. Kinda cool to have two 27-inchers and Macs on one table top.

    There is no reason why that would not work. It would be the same as connecting a MacBook or a Mac mini or a Mac Pro (any Mac with a Mini DisplayPort) that same way to use the 27-inch iMac's big screen as a second display, which is the primary purpose of this feature. It should not matter if the primary Mac happens to be another 27-inch iMac.
    And the second iMac would not be "just the display to extend my screen." It is fully operational, so it can be doing tasks in the background. It can be acting as a file or web server, or processing video, or downloading/uploading files. I believe there is a keystroke to toggle the display, and you can probably even control it using +Screen Sharing+ from the other iMac (as long as the two are connected over a network).
    What would be really interesting to know, from someone who actually has two of these iMac sitting side-by-side, connected with a Mini DisplayPort cable, is if you can use either iMac as the extended Desktop screen for the other iMac, on-the-fly. So you'd be working on iMac A with iMac B being the second display. Then, you switch to the working on iMac B with iMac A being the second display. And do it with a few keystrokes and no rebooting. Now, that would be cool.
