DVI Splitter working in reverse?

This is sort of a general question.... But I was wondering if a DVI splitter will work in reverse. Basically what I want to do is use my monitor for my Macbook Pro, and for my PS3, but I want to optimize the picture on both. The best way I can think of doing this (without having to unplug whichever one I am not using at the time) is to plug a DVI splitter into my monitor (coming out of the monitor) and than plugging my Mac into one side, and my PS3 (via HDMI-DVI adapter) into the other side. If I do this, will my monitor recognize whichever one is powered on? Or will I just confuse the crap out of the monitor?

I don't think what you propose will work. This is what KVM switches are made for.

But if you want to save what a KVM switch would cost, the free, simple, no-sweat solution is just to plug the monitor into one computer at a time.

  • Dvi splitter cable will extend the screen?

    Hi everyone, I have a MBP 8Gb RAM. I would like to go dual monitor and extend my desktop.
    My Mac has a single video out port, specifically a Mini DisplayPort.
    Using a dvi splitter cable will just give me the ability to extend it? Actually I'm on a single monitor and I'm keeping my mac shut on a BookArc stand.
    If not, what should I use?
    Thank you in advance.

    If a DVI splitter works at all, it will only give you two external monitors that display exactly the same image, rather than an extended desktop.
    The cheapest way to add a second monitor to your machine for extended-desktop use will be a USB video adapter like this:

    Note that it is limited to a maximum of 2048 x 1152 resolution, and it won't be responsive enough (because of the slow USB connection) to use for action gaming, animation, etc. Use your other monitor for work that requires a highly responsive screen.

  • I have a MB Pro that is running Lion; I also have two external DVI monitors and a DVI splitter in hopes that I could run the two monitors with my MB Pro.   This actually works fine, but I am unable to "extend" the desktop.  Any insights?

    You cannot have a extended desktop using a splitter.  All that does is mirror the pair attached to the splitter.
    You can do this however using a Matrox DualHead2Go.
    Other solution would be to attach one monitor to your video out as you do the splitter and attach the other via USB (assuming the adapter supports the monitor's resolution).

  • DVI splitter cable on 2 monitor setup

    I set up my G5 with 2 monitors utilizing both ports on the graphics card. I want to add a Wacom Cintiq tablet which has a video display and am wondering if I can split the second port with a DVI splitter cable so I can have display on monitor 2 and the Cintiq.
    1. Will it work?
    2. Will it draw too much from the display adapter, thus causing it to fry?
    3. Has anyone done this set up themselves?
    TIA for the info!

    Hi-
    Two monitors are working the 9600 pretty hard.
    Realizing that you probably want to get by on the cheap, I can't recommend a simple DVI splitter.
    I don't think you will get satisfactory results.
    Another issue is, with any type of device that uses a single port for multiple displays, is that the two connected monitors need to support the same resolution.
    A DVI amplifier would provide the additional power and signal boost needed to run additional monitors.

  • Possible to use 30" on PC using DVI splitter?

    Someone I know believes that you can use the 30" Cinema on a PC with a non-dual link graphics card simply by plugging the monitor's cable into a DVI splitter and then plugging it into both DVI ports on the card. Is he right, or am I correct in telling him that won't work?

    It won't work. Dual-link DVI is not the same as dual DVI.

  • Mini + DVI splitter = colored static (argh)

    What I want to do is mirror one of the video outputs of my Mini (one LCD on my desk, one on the conference table). I am already using both video outputs of the Mini (mini DVI and mini DP) to drive dual monitors (extended desktop mode) on my desk, so I have no spare video outputs.
    Previously, I was using a DVI splitter (takes one DVI in, sends two identical DVI signals out), but with the new mini I get one good DVI signal and one that's all colored static/snow. I have checked the functionality of the powered DVI splitter using an old Macbook, so that is working fine (can mirror to two displays). So the culprit is the new Mini.
    I suspect that the problem is the new HDCP encryption used in the Mini's video output. It would stand to reason that the Mini can only exchange encryption keys with one of the displays, so the other one will not be able to decrypt the video stream and thus display garbage (colored static/snow). This is annoying since this setup worked previously before Apple started using HDCP.
    Any ideas?
    I have yet to take this to the Genius Bar ...

    Matt,
    It's been quite a while since I had this problem, so I was looking for my notes on fixing it. No luck there.
    The bottom line is that the "native" refresh rate on your KVM is far enough out of specs for your monitor that it's affecting the display. When you plug directly into the mini, the display automatically senses the correct refresh rate and looks fine.
    It's a hack, but here's what I did (after giving up on manually modifying the settings in Terminal and failing miserably):
    1. Plugged the display directly into the mini and created a "calibrated" color profile for it in both user and admin accounts.
    2. Connected the KVM and booted in safe mode, selected the "calibrated" color profile with appropriate resolution in all profiles.
    2b. Made sure I unchecked the +Show profiles for this display only+ box in the Display > Colors tab for all users.
    3. Plugged in the KVM and restarted in safe mode, doing 1 & 2 above.
    4. Restarted and manually set the color profile and resolution.
    It can take a few tries to get the settings to "stick."

  • Need DVI splitter.

    Want to have 2 monitors on my mini. Where can I find a DVI splitter?

    Would the above link just mirror the desktop on both displays or provide your more desktop space to utilize?
    If you're looking for a splitter that may be sufficient, if youre looking to expand the amount of desktop space to use across 2 screens, the matrox expansion modules should work.

  • Video DVI splitter

    Hi, I was wondering if Mac has a video DVI splitter. I have DVI to Video Adapter for My Mac Mini, in a perfect world I would like to switch from my monitor to my TV with out having to disconnect any wires.

    We have such a device in our display lab at work, but it has multiple output ports, not two, and it cost a bundle. DVI distribution boxes are AFAIK test equipment for labs and I have not seen the equivalent as a simple, two-port consumer device. Still, you might want to look around. I could be wrong and you may find one.

  • DVI Splitter - video adapter

    Hi,
    Can i run both a DVI-VGA & DVI-Video adapter through a DVI splitter from my MBP?
    Thanks

    That might work under Windows but the driver in OS X does not support it.

  • Mini DisplayPort to DVI not working, No Multi-Monitor, Jerky Mouse

    I have an iMac, 27 inch, 2009 model.
    Until today I've had a second monitor attached via the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. The monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster T260. This setup has worked perfectly well so far.
    Until today that is. Now the monitor is not recognised any more and if I try to select "Detect Displays" the mouse pointer hangs every few seconds - stops dead and then restarts again.
    What did I do to make this happen? Nothing (that i'm aware of). Haven't installed anything, not done a software update, just literally rebooted and it's not working anymore.
    _*Things that still work...*_
    The Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter works on a Mac Mini, so that's OK
    The DVI cable works fine when plugged into a PC or Mac Mini, so that's OK
    The Monitor works fine when plugged into a PC or Mac Mini, via DVI, HDMI or VGA, so that's OK
    So I've established that, in isolation, each part of the system is functioning perfectly well.
    *_Things I have tried - without success..._*
    1) Rebooting - both iMac and monitor
    2) Unplugging all cables and reconnecting then rebooting again
    3) Clearing the PRAM - done it twice just to make sure
    4) Updated to OS X 10.6.7
    5) Reset the SMC
    6) Deleted the com.apple.windowserver.plist files at /Library and ~/Library
    7) Googled for solutions - plenty of people seem to have one or the other of these symptoms...
    Can anyone shed any light on what's happened here ? Please help!
    Cheers
    Mart
    ** Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I just found a forum specifically for the iMac so posted it there but not sure how to delete this one. **

    Well, it would be interesting if that's when it had occurred. At the time, I hadn't installed 10.6.7, and hadn't installed anything immediately prior to the problem occurring.
    It doesn't seem like there's any way (a-la System Files Checker on Windows) of checking the integrity of system files which may have been corrupted, nor a way of reinstalling any update in the case of this happening - or is there a way of doing this? You don't seem to have any control over updates apart from applying them - if something does go wrong, there's no way of backing out. I guess Time Machine is the answer to my own question there.
    I'm happy that it's working now, but it was a pretty extreme fix to have to wipe the entire system. At least it wasn't a hardware issue, I'll be thankful for that!

  • Substitution now working for reversal documents

    Hi,
    I understand that substitution does not work for reversal documents; all attributes in the reversal document are picked up from the original document.
    However is there any way to change this? I want the reversal document to pick up something else. Please note that the attributes fields are all Z fields.
    Thanks & Regards

    pls. check the conditions of the substitution, may be reversing is not included.

  • Minidisplay to duallink dvi not working

    i'm having trouble getting my new mac mini to provide full resolution to my existing dell u2711 monitor. i purchased the minidisplay to dual link dvi connector (for $100!!) and it still isn't working. i've tried all the trouble-shooting suggestions and still it won't work properly. it's totally crunchy at 2560x1440. i know the monitor works as it's also hooked up to a pc that resolves to 2560x1440. and i know the mac monitor is the same resolution, so i'm not sure what to do. any suggestions would be most appreciated. thanks.

    I've got a similar situation. Mini DisplayPort -> VGA adapter works fine. DisplayPort -> DVI fails to see ViewSonic monitor completely.
    On the assumption that it was a fault with the adapter, Apple sent a replacement mini displayport to DVI adapter -- which also fails.
    The monitor and monitor's DVI cable work fine with an older PowerBook 17 using the previous generation of adapter.
    The monitor clearly sees no input on the DVI cable, and the monitor does not show up in the displays system pref pane regardless of how many times you "detect displays".

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Caps lock button works in reverse!

    Dear All,
    this is my problem: the caps lock button (with green LED) on my MacBook Pro 13 "mid-2009, works in reverse! When the LED is on (green light) I type lowercase fonts, when the LED is off I type uppercase fonts!
    I tried everything: booting from an external disk with different operating system from mine (I use MacOSX 10.7.5), reset PRAM, reset SMC, removed the internal battery, made test hardware, Disk Warriors, etc.. I brought the laptop at an Apple-authorized center where they tried all they know, but nothing was found.
    I called Apple support and the guy suggests me to format the disk (I don't make it, and sincerely it's not seems the solution for me.
    However, someone tells me something to do?
    Thanks in advance for all your answers.

    Hi,
    I just followed the steps “Before resetting the SMC” and afterwards the steps to set up the SMC, BUT THE PROBLEM STAYS AGAIN.
    Now, I want try to remove the internal hard disk and start with an external hard disk (or with a CD); in this mode I want to see if the problem is related to the HD/System or to the motherboard.
    Thanks.
