Early (Jan.04) Cinema 20" display with ADC:

Need to replace video card in G5 (Jan 04). Need video card with ADC. Any suggestions as to where to purchase this. Tried DV Warehouse already. To expensive for refurbished card. Can I get around the ADC on new video card.

The Mac Pro features one DVI-I, to which you can attach your DVI-display-with-powerbrick-in-cable, and two Mini DisplayPort.
ATI has moved forward smartly into Mini DisplayPort, nearly shortchanging users of what they call "legacy" Interfaces such as DVI, HDMI, and VGA. In order to run Three legacy Interfaces, ACTIVE (read Powered) adapters are REQUIRED.
What appears to be happening is that "the simulation of DVI" provided is a little short on power. If you don't run the ACTIVE adapters that include an additional USB for still more power, you can't run three.
Some users have reported that passive adapters used for ANY DVI displays are having sporadic trouble. The low-cost ACTIVE Adapters contain signal Drivers that use an internal power lead. The pricey Dual-Link adapters need two sets of Driver circuits, and go to an external USB cord to pick up still more power to run them.
Executive summary: There may be sporadic problems with signal levels for certain displays. If an adapter is needed, an ACTIVE DVI adapter is recommended.
If running three DVI displays, ACTIVE Adapters that also include an extra USB cord are REQUIRED.

  • EXACTLY what cable(s) do I need to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to an external display with a 2560x1440 resolution?

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro (early 2011 w/ Intel HD 3000/ 384Mb) to an external display with a 2560x1440 resolution. Specifically, what cable/connections do I need to display at this resolution? I cannot get the display to work using a "Thunderbolt to HDMI" or a "Thunderbolt to DVI" connector.  Note:  I used both older and newer (uni-directional) HDMI cables on the first config, and a Dual-link DVI cable on the second config.   Apple specs state this is possible ( support.apple.com/kb/SP619 ), but I am at a loss as to how this can be done.  Thanks in advance for the help!

    You use a Mini DisplayPort to either HDMI or dual-link DVI adapter. If that component doesn't work, something's wrong with either the cable or something else in the connection.

  • 23" Apple Cinema HD Display with a new Mac Pro

    I just replaced my old G5 Power Mac with a new Mac Pro. The old 23" Cinema HD monitor does not have the same connectors.
    Apple no longer makes the ADC-DVI adaptor that I need.
    Any solutions? Thank you.

    eBay search in Computers and Networking for: ADC DVI -(ATI, card, GeForce, Radeon, NVidia, Belkin)
    Remember that a simple adapter will not supply the needed POWER to run the display. Other brands will work if they supply the power as well as adapt.

  • How to connect cinema hd display with a 2011 macbookpro

    Can someone tell me how I can connect my old cinema display to my macbookpro 2011. The display has four connections one is an old firewire plugin. Thanks

    Thunderbolt to DVI or Dual Link DVI adapter available from the Apple Web Store.

  • Acrylic 20" Cinema Display with new MacPro

    As I read the posts here, to use the old cinema display with an ADC connector I will need to buy Apple DVI to ADC adapter to connect my 20" cinema display with ADC to the new MacPro?
    This new DVI to ADC adapter provides power for the cinema display as I understand which is why it's so expensive whereas when cinema display was connected to my Powermac G5 the power came thru the ADC connection?
    Is this correct?

  • Need to connect an Apple Display with an ADC plug to a Mac Mini with a DVI port

    I have an older Mac Mini (I'd guess at least 4-5 years old, but I have a terrible memory), and I want to connect a Cinema HD Display with an ADC connector plug. Unfortunately, my Mini only has a DVI port, and I cannot find an Apple adapter, or any adapter for that matter, under 200 dollars, which is an absurd price to simply connect one slightly different plug to another. If a $200 adapter is really the only option, then I will find a different monitor, but I would prefer to connect this one, as it is the most convenient option.

    It is far more than a matter of different plugs. The signalling schemes are completely different and it also has to act as an external power supply for the screen. This screen was originally designed to get power from a PowerMac computer.
    I found a genuine adapter on Amazon see http://www.amazon.com/Apple-M8661LL-Display-Adapter-4038234011420/dp/B00011KHT2 at $119 but other than that you could look on eBay for a used one.
    You are right to consider whether it is worth paying more for a brand new screen rather than trying to extend the life of this old screen. Be aware that if you want to try using Apple's latest 27" ThunderBolt screen you cannot directly connect that to your old Mac mini but could do so by (you guessed it) buying another expensive adapter. In this case you would need an adapter from Kanex see http://www.kanexlive.com/c247dl
    You can of course use virtually any standard (non Apple) DVI display.

  • Using Cinema display with Win 8 Ultrabook?

    Hello, can I use a Cinema HD display with a Lenovo U410 Ultrabook?  It has 4 USB ports and 1 HDMI.  Running Windows 8.  Thanks.

    I am having this exact same problem.  2010 iMac with NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256MB.  I have it hooked to a 30" display through a DisplayPort to DVI-D adapter.  The 30" is fine, but I have graphical corruption constantly on the main iMac screen.
    This all started as soon as I updated to Yosemite a couple days ago.

  • KVM switch one Cinema hd display (dvi) with macpro (dvi) and macbook pro (mini displayport)

    I want to use a KVM switch to share one display with two computers.
    Computer one is: MacPro 1,1 dual core 2.66 Ghz with two DVI ports.
    Computer two is: MacBook Pro 4 core 2.66 GHz with one Mini Displayport.
    Display is: Cinema HD Display with DVI connector.
    To do that KVM switches only use (at least that is waht I found) one system either DVI or Mini Displayports
    http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=3113
    DVI --> KVM SWITCH<-- DVI
                         V
                   DVI (monitor)
    http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-2x1-Mini-DisplayPort-KVM-Switch.html
    Mini Displayport (Macpro) --> KVM SWITCH <-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                                             V
                                                     DVI (monitor)
    However what I want is:
    DVI (Macpro) --> KVM SWITHCH<-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                           V
                                  DVI(monitor)
    I couldn't find an existing KVM switcher that does this.
    Then there is the following solution
    DVI (Macpro) --> KVM SWITCH <-- ADAPTER (Mini Displayport to DVI) <-- Mini Displayport (Macbookpro)
                                        V
                                DVI(monitor)
    The question is: Will this work?
    I've been told that adapter behind adapter never works. Hope someone can help with this before spending money on nothing.
    Thanx David

    Maybe you're right just try and see if I can return the stuff if it's not working.
    I won't be using a higher resolution then 1920 x 1200 however I still would buy the adapter
    Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng
    for connecting macbookpro to KVM DVI switch.
    However if there's still someone with experiencing the exact same thing I would be much obliged.

  • Extended DVI cable run, 30-inch Cinema HD Displays

    Looking through various sites selling DVI-related gear, I see a number of products for extending the cable length for DVI video signals at up to 1920 x 1200 resolution. We are about to receive an a Quad G5 system with the Quadro FX 4500 driving two 30-inch Cinema HD Displays, with 2560 x 1600 resolution. Is there any product that will extend the default cable length for such a display at its native resolution, even if the added distance is less than that offered for lower-resolution displays?

  • 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:

    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.
    Regards.

    Hi Gilly,
    I have no proof, but I think it will not work with an adapter, only Mini Display Port or Thunderbolt.
