Differences between DVI to Video Displays (MA026ZM/A & M9267G/A)

Hello to everyone.
I am desperately trying to find infos about two Apple parts, wich seem to be very similar (if not identical, somehow), but with no luck... so here it goes:
apart from the Video standard (PAL/NTSC) that doesn't actually really matter for me, what are the differences between the "DVI to Video Adapter", respectively with Apple part number MA026ZM/A and number M9267G/A?
The first one seems to be expressly for PAL TV standards, wether the second one doesn't have the word "PAL" in its name. Now, since Apple states that the first one ("PAL DVI to Video Adapter" (MA026ZM/A) works ONLY with Mac mini and PowerMac G5, when for the second one ("DVI to Video Adapter" (Apple part nr. MA026ZM/A) it states that it works for Mac mini, PowerMac G5 AND MacBook Pros (part nrs. MA609/610/611+), I wonder, what are the real differences?
In short, can the two adapters be swapped between a G5 and a MacBook Pro, wich I have both? Don't they have the SAME and IDENTICAL DVI port? Would a wrong adapter (say, the MA026ZM/A for the G5), when connected to a MacBook Pro, give some hardware issues, on the long term?
It's been days since I began to google for these infos, but with no luck.
Thank you very much,
Francesco

Thank you very much, neuroanatomist.
Your answer helped entirely, so I can avoid buying another DVI to Video adapter (M9267G/A) JUST for my MBPro. It's not very expensive (cinsidering that I am a reseller), but still, it would be trashed money.
Thank you very much, indeed.
PS: I've read just yesterday the topic you linked to, but I was still unsure, expecially when the guy wrote "Apple Australia say they don't know"!!! Thanks again, now it's all clear!

  • Difference between DVI-I & DVI-D

     Hello, I was wondering what the difference between the DVI-I & DVI-D cable sold at BestBuy are.  We have a PC that will be plugged into a flat panel.
     Is it just that one has more bandwidth and a high resolution or quality or do the two have different physical pins or connectors?
     Appreciate it. Would research more but already spent four days learning about how much of a hassle it can be to find a AGP card for an aged system.
     Thank you,

    Solved!

    DVI-I means "DVI-integrated".  It carries both analog (VGA) and digital signals.  DVI-D only carries the digital signals.
    Almost no one should need a DVI-I cable.  I've never seen a display device that had analog input into a DVI port.  Really the only place DVI-I is beneficial is in the video card itself, so that a cheap passive adapter can be used to allow the card to be connected to an analog VGA monitor.
    *disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.

  • Brightness differences between Menus and Video Tracks

    I am trying to learn DVD Studio Pro 3.
    My project has a "roster" menu that leads to several submenus. I want an animated transition from the "roster" menu, to each of the submenus.
    I built each of the animations in After Effects. They all start with the same first frame -- the "roster" menu. Each animation has a different ending frame -- one of the submenus. I rendered the animations as QuickTime movies in After Effects.
    Also in After Effects, I used the "Save frame as" menu to make a flat .PSD file of the first frame (for the "roster" menu,) and each end frame (for the submenus.)
    I imported all the files into DVD Studio Pro. I laid out the menu structure, drew buttons, and connected them all the way I wanted. Each button on the "roster" menu points to the start of a track, and the End Jump of that track points to a submenu.
    The logic of all this works the way I expect, both in DVD Studio Pro's simulator, and on a burnt DVD. However, there is a noticeable brightness difference between the video tracks and the menus.
    How can this be, if they are derived from the same graphic source?
      Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    There could be a ColorSync issue with the PSD. Either take it into Photoshop and try no ColorSync (or a different setting), or take a single frame of the video and make it last a while, and use that as a motion menu.
    I have cured these differences both by changing the ColorSync settings of the PSD, and also by setting the monitor to generic RGB. That was enough to make DVD SP ignore the ColorSync settings in the PSD I was using.

  • Difference between Apple 20" Cinema displays?

    Greetings,
    I would like to know what's the difference between Apple's 20" monitors Models A1081 and M9177LL/A (which s the model number currently used by Apple on their online Store). They seem to be somewhat identical, but eBay sellers do use either one of those model numbers to describe the units they sell.
    Thanks!
    - Roger T

    There were a lot of "sneak" part number changes to Apple products that may be connected with the European Union's Reduction of Hazardous Substance laws which required solders to change from leaded to lead-free (among other changes) in the middle of 2006. Around that time several Apple part number changes were noted with no changes to product specifications. So you might find two Apple products with different part numbers where the only difference is that one is RoHS compliant and the other is not.

  • Will I see difference between DVI over VGA monitors?

    hi all,
    I have my G4s connected to one VGA LCD monitor via KVM adapter box. They both have video cards with DVI capabilities. Will I see a difference if I were to use a DVI monitor?
    Thanks
    Web dude

    Hi-
    Yes, there will be a difference.
    LCD monitors are digital, and so is the graphical data produced by the graphics card.
    For VGA (analog) the graphics card converts the digital to analog, and the monitor reprocess that back to digital.
    There is a loss of quality, lesser or greater varies with equipment.
    If you change to DVI connection, you will need a DVI capable KVM that supports the optimal resolution of the display. I say this, because in the case of 1920 x 1200, not all KVMs can go that high.

  • Difference between Change Authorization Data / Display Authorization Data

    Hello,
    My question is wrt to implementation of "principle of treble control" i.e three SAP administrators i.e.
    1. Authorization data administrator
    2. Authorization profile administrator
    3. User Administrator
    I have created a role & added a transaction to it e.g. "FAGLL03" or "FF67".
    No authorization data is displayed in the authorization tab unless I enter authorization tab with change button and provide inputs for org level field & generate profile. Even when I save the profile with the proposed name, it status still says "No authorization data exists". Since no authorization data is available, administrator 2 is unable to generate profile. If administrator 1 has to generate profile then why is administrator 2 required.
    Definition of Administrator 1 is:
    The authorization data administrator creates the roles, selects transactions and
    maintains the authorization data. He or she simply saves the data in the Profile
    Generator since he does not have the necessary authorization for generating the
    profile. He or she accepts the proposed profile name “T-...”. The authorization data
    administrator may not change users, nor generate profiles.
    Definition of Administrator 2 is:
    The authorization profile administrator starts transaction “SUPC” and chooses All
    Roles. He or she then restricts his selection, for example by entering the ID of the
    role to be edited. On the next screen, he or she chooses Display Profile to check
    the data. If all the data is correct, he or she generates the authorization profile. The
    authorization profile administrator may not change users, change the data for roles,
    nor generate profiles containing authorization objects beginning with S_USER*.
    Thanks.

    Actually I started off my question with the "implementation of treble control" that SAP course AD940 suggests.
    I had never heard of this treble control and the added value of splitting rolebuilding and profile generation doesn't make much sense to me but that's my personal opinion.
    On the technical side of things: in your first post you state "No authorization data is displayed in the authorization tab unless I enter authorization tab with change button and provide inputs for org level field & generate profile."
    It is also possible to change the data and save this but not generate the profile yet. I just tried this by doing the following:
    Create role
    Add transactions to menu
    Edit profile, org levels & authroization data.
    Hit 'save'.
    Accept proposed profile name.
    Go back to PFCG main screen and ignore message of profile not being generated. (Click 'continue')
    And this leaves me with a role with yellow traffic light on the authorization tab an the profile status is: "Current version not generated"
    So it should be possible to maintain roles and profiles separately.

  • Difference between iMac 20" screen & 20" Cinema Display

    I am hesitating to switch my PowerMac G4 to an iMac G5 or upgrade my G4 and add an Cinema Display
    I would like to know what is the difference between the iMac 20" display and the 20" Cinema display.
    Please, Thank you.

    He is right, the Dual 867 is a workhorse. Out of the three machines I mentioned in my earlier post, our Dual 867 at my workplace seems to be the fastest. This is because it almost never crashes, unlike the Dual 1GHz MDD, and the RAM and the pipeline are quite a bit faster on the MDD than on the Quicksilver.
    However, I move to differ in opinion about upgrading. I still think you should stick to the iMac. Here's why:
    You as a graphic artist (I read that in the other thread) need processing power. Running apps like Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects, you need RAM and a very fast processor. Especially when rendering large files. Sure, the disks may make a difference, but they aren't going to slow you down considerably. When I mentioned that my wife's iMac G5 leaves my company's Dual 867 in the dust, it was specifically in those areas. She uses Photoshop CS mainly, and shoots RAW photos of 18 MB or more, and then layers them. She's had files around 250 MB, which were nothing for the iMac G5. Also, I've used hers as a render machine in After Effects, simply because it's so fast. I even use DVD Studio Pro, and I tend to let her machine do the processing, since it doesn't take nearly as long.
    Video editing is another story. I disagree with people when they say that you need a beefy processor to edit video. I used to edit video on a 9600 at 200 MHz. What I did have was a SCSI RAID with 5 bays to store the video. In video, if you have fast hard drives, you can capture, scrub, edit, scan audio, and do all that stuff without a hitch. Rendering is slower, but I just use the time to make a sandwich.
    Here's a trick for fast hard drives on an iMac (and this is what I do so call me crazy). I use 5, but you can use up to 6 for this (any more will max out the pipeline). Get a bunch of the same size external FW400 hard drives. Connect half to FW400 port 1, and the other half to FW400 port 2. Open Disk Utility and RAID 0 them together. This will split the load so that not only are the hard drives sharing the load, but the FireWire ports are as well. It sounds psycho, I know, but I'm using FCP on an iMac G4 700, and one of my friends uses it on a Cube. It works. Just make sure you have a drive cabable of backing up the whole RAID set. My suggestion, get maybe 4 100 GB drives, and a 500 GB for Backup. Also, LaCie Triple Interface drives will allow you to chain using FW800 when connected to the FW400 ports on the machine.
    I know my little tip sounds crazy, and I'm sure I'll be attacked for that one, but I've been doing this for years and haven't had an issue yet. Knock on wood. I know it won't ever get near a SATA RAID, but I really don't think Photoshop needs a SATA RAID to operate. SATA RAIDs are for HD Uncompressed video, and the occasional extremist.

  • Any noticable signal loss with the DVI-to-video adapter?

    Hi, there. Would any of you happen to know whether there's an appreciable signal loss when converting from DVI to, say, composite video via the DVI-to-video adapter? I'd like to hook my MBP up to an HDTV (when I eventually get one), and I'm wondering if going through the adapter would produce a degraded picture for DVDs, compared to a direct digital connection from a DVD player to the TV.
    Actually, I'm wondering the same thing about the audio connection. Any loss in audio quality when using an adapter to connect the MBP's mini-jack to an HDTV or receiver?
    Thanks much.

    ragamoffyn,
    While there's no "signal loss," as such, there is a considerable loss in signal quality. However, you're over-thinking this...
    HDTVs accept HDMI connections, and your Macbook Pro has a DVI output. The ports are dissimilar, but digital video signal is the same. In other words, you would simply use a DVI-to-HDMI cable. In fact, many HD cable boxes (mine included) still have a DVI port, not an HDMI port. There is no loss of signal or quality.
    Really, the only difference between DVI and HDMI is the fact that HDMI transmits both video and digital audio. DVI doesn't do this, so you must resort to transmitting audio separately. Not a problem: use an optical digital cable, which your Macbook Pro will accept (as will most HDTVs). That said, you might be better off connecting the audio portion of your MBP's output to a home entertainment (surround sound??) receiver.
    Now, I'm not sure about the "progressive scan" capabilities of the Macbook Pro and DVD Player. You'll have to research that yourself. I can tell you that normal DVDs can be "upconverted" by a progressive scan set-top DVD player, and the result looks absolutely stunning on an HDTV. It's not quite as good as full HD, but it comes pretty close. Also, many newer units are being made with HDMI ports. In other words, the DVD is upconverted, and the result is transmitted over a full HD connection. Best of all, these set-top boxes can be had for under $100.
    BTW, the composite video you suggest is simply "standard definition," and not the best SD at that (S-Video is better). Component video (where there are three separate "RCA"-type connectors) is much, much better, but even that doesn't match digital (DVI or HDMI). Also, the DVI-to-HDMI cable you will need can be had at Walmart for around $30. They can also be found at places like Best Buy or CompUSA, but these retailers tend to over-charge for over-blown items (No one needs a "Monster" HDMI cable that costs over $100, and which does no more than the $30 cable from Walmart; digital is digital).

  • Difference between 2 sub-totals in SAP query

    Hello Experts,
    Is there any possibility to find out the difference between 2 sub-totals and display it at the bottom of the ALV output( like total) in SAP Query using SQ01.
    For example: see below example(Request you to paste the below in an excel sheet for more readability).
    PRZ     25.05.2011     A 007 008 01 15     10     EA           0,00     INR          0,00     INR          2,00     INR               0,00     INR

                   4     PC                                        
    In the same way as Grand total, Is there any possibility to find out the difference between the 2 sub-totals and display at the bottom after the Grand Totals row.
    Please let me know if there is any possibility for the same.

    Just to update on my question.
    In the sub-totals line you can see that there is 20,00 INR value which is summation of the above fields present in individual line numbers above. And the same way for the rest of the fields as well.
    After calculating the sub-totals in this manned, I need to find out the difference between the subtotals and display it at the bottom of the output.
    Please let me know if this is possible.

  • External preview display via. Mini-DVI to video adapter QUESTION

    Hello, I have been browsing this forum for a while, and this is my first question.
    I have a Macbook Core2duo running Final Cut Pro. I purchased a Mini-DVI to S-video/composite video adapter.
    I cannot get my work to preview on this external monitor. I would like to view the canvas on the monitor while working. I had this setup at school on a G5, but I cannot get it to work on my macbook. The only way apple suggests doing this is by setting up a camera via. firewire and then run from the camera to the NTSC video display (television). I would just like to do it via. mini-dvi to my television for previewing.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you,
    Morgan Bressler

    From what I've been told, using the computer's video output isn't outputting a true NTSC picture. I was told when talking about how the Macbook Pros dropped the S-vdieo port that I shouldn't use that anyways, but rather to go the firewire route. THat was actually converts the video source to true NTSC instead of taking a computer output to a TV. While I have no doubt that it works, I'm willing to bet that you'll see a noticeable difference between the G5 S-video and your MB using firewire. Most consumer camcorders from the past several years do digital (firewire) to analogue (NTSC) conversion, so you probably don't even need a new box.
