How do I connect dual link dvi to hdmi so I can use my TV as a monitor?

I have tried to google this for some time and have gotten nothing but conflicting responses.  I have a 15" macbook pro with a dual link dvi port.  I want to connect it to the hdmi port on my HDTV.  What do I need to make that happen?
Is there actually an adapter from dual link dvi to hdmi or will I need multiple devices for this?
thank you,
John

Hi there,
Thanks for the response...I think I have a 2007 version.  My output is the DVI-I.  It looks like maybe the dvi-i male to hdmi female might work?  I don't see much in the way of dvi-i, there are more dvi-d around it appears.
This or many others like it will work, then a standard HDMI cable.

  • How do you connect the IPod to a radio so I can use the speakers from the radio?

    I want to purchase either a shuffle or nano, but I want to use my radio on my boat to connect to the unit.  Is this done with wif-fi or is there a connector cable you have to use?

    That depends on the radio that is on your boat. Does it have WiFi? Does it have an Auxiliary input?

  • Why does thunderbolt/mini displayport to active Dual Link DVI apdater not work  on Osx Lion 10.3

    Hi I am using a Korean IPS display PCBANK 27 Inch on my Macbook Pro Late 2011 with OSX Lion 10.3
    I am currently using a Official Apple Displayport/Thunderbolt -> Dual Link DVI D Adapter.
    When I use a windows 7 boot cd it powers up the monitor and it displays. When I use a Linux Live CD it boots the monitor up and displays at full resolution.
    When I use Osx Lion 10.3 it does not even detect the display at all which quite odd.
    Can anyone help me trouble shoot.
    I went to options and screen settings and tried detect display it comes up with nothing :S I am thinking it has to do with APPLES ATI drivers? perhaps? I have a 6750 HD.
    Anyone ?

    Above mentioned graphics card can only go as high as 2048 x 1536 where the 27" Cinema Display does 2560x1440 by native. Atlona's AT-DP400 will only pass the given resolution through the display and won't be able to reach to the maximum supported resolution and 1280x720 will become the next available/supported resolution by the monitor. Atlona makes another model of signal converter which also scales to the native resolution (2560x1440), Model#AT-HD620 which will work the best for your setup.

  • MBP Rev C. Dual-link DVI

    I am curious if my Rev C. MBP has a Dual-link DVI. Meaning, that it can potentially power Apple's 30in display at its native full resolution. I am not even sure if the latest MBP (Rev D I believe) has the ability...
    -TM

    Hi SamuelJohn,
    Just to clarify, all MBP models DO support the 30" display. However, they cannot power it at its native resolution (with the exception of the recent 17" MBP model).
    On your link, you would think Apple would describe this in detail; so as to not be misleading. Worse yet, Apple lists on my 15" MBP model (link: http://support.apple.com/specs/macbookpro/MacBookPro_Late2006.html) that is does support the 30" native resolution of 2560 by 1600 pixels (as BSteely pointed out). I have confirmed with a genius that a 2560 by 1600 resolution is NOT possible through DVI. Speculation begins (as I have read on other forums) that such a resolution is only supported through VGA, and not DVI as the Apple Cinema display functions on.
    Finally, when I spoke with the genius, he mentioned only the latest 17" MBP model can power the Cinema Display... But, because this is such a topic, I am going to walk into the Apple store in 2 weeks and physically try out both a 15 and 17 inch MBP and will report my findings (plus, I will see the MBP Air!).

  • How do I get my Macbook Pro 15" to run dual monitor setup with Dual Link DVI outputs

    I own have two 27" 2560x1440 WQHD LED IPS Computer monitors and have been trying to get them to work with my macbook pro 15" w retina for over a month now. I have purchased multiple products and nothing has worked. The big problem is that the only input that the monitors have is a Dual Link DVI input. The closest that i have gotten to getting them to work was this morning when I bought 2 Mini Display Port to Dual Link DVI Adapters for $99 a peice. Below is a link
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter?afid=p219%7CGOUS&cid=AOS-US-KWG-PLA
    Problem is that when I hook them up, I still only get a picture on one of the screens. Also, it requires you to plug into a mini Display port and USB port which takes up all of the space for me to run any othe peripherals. Though it has a built in USB port, when I plug my apple keybaord into it, I get an saying "USB Device Needs power, connect "keyboard Hub" to power or usb port on this mac"
    I have looked everywhere for a docking station that would satisfy my needs, however, it does not exist. I use my macbook as my main office computer and take it home with me every night. I switched from the lenovo thinkpad to the macbook and have been satsified with my decision except for the fact that i cannot connect my monitors to it.
    Please help!

    Yes, that would work, however it would cost me $2000 for the monitors.

  • Connect to Dual-Link DVI-D port on monitor using DVI-D to VGA adapter -- getting no signal

    I have a T400.  I am trying to connect to a dual-link DVI-D port on my LG monitor via the VGA port on my T400 laptop. I bought a DVI-D to VGA adapter, but I am getting no signal. 
    Do I need some other method or adapter or cable?  Monitor works fine for VGA to VGA connection.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I happened onto this thread while searching for a way to connect my T400 to my wife's 27" iMac. What I learned thus far is that Atlona makes a device (AT-DP400) that will convert dual link DVI to Mini DisplayPort. But Atlona says that one's graphic card must support 2560x1440. The T400 doesn't have a DVI out (nor does my current docking station), but it sounds like one can get a docking station that does. But that won't help if my card won't support 2560x1440. So are you saying that there is no way I will be able to use the 27" iMac as a monitor for the T400?

  • Best way to connect T430 to Dual Link DVI 2560x1440 Catleap monitors?

    I have a T430 and I am looking to get one of those cheap $300 27" Korean 2560x1440 IPS/PLS monitors, but the problem is all of the cheap models only take dual link DVI, while the new T430 notebooks only output via displayport.
    I was thinking the best solution for this would be to buy a Lenovo dock that natively outputs dual link DVI (DP to dual link DVI adapters do not allow for refresh rate overclocking). Though on the Lenovo website they don't specify whether their docks output single or dual link, and I am not sure if the signal conversion is done "natively" or via some custom chip in the docks which might prevent refresh rate overclocking.  Do you guys know of any T430 docks that are definitely equiped with native dual link DVI? If the docks are only single link DVI or do not allow overclocking then that leaves either buying a $70 adapter and forgoing the overclocking or buying a significantly more expensive monitor with displayport input (and more input lag).
    What have your experiences with connecting your T430 to one of these monitors been like? And what do you think would be the best solution at the moment?

    The dock dvi is single link dvi-d, if you wish to use dual link dvi-d connection, then you should consider the Apple laptop's active miniDP to Dual Link DVI-D converter.

  • Problem w/New MacbookPro, Cinema 30, Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adap

    Hi, I have a new MacBook Pro with Miniport connected to a Cinema 30 using the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter. I upgraded from the previous version of the Macbook Pro w/built-in DVI and never had a problem.
    From the moment I started using this new miniport adapter with the Cinema 30, I noticed intermittent graphic anomalies. Most of the time, discolored lines will start rapidly popping in and out across the screen - especially noticeable with dark backgrounds. Here are a couple of quick videos that visualize the problem.
    Video 1 - http://is.gd/krM6
    Video 2 - http://is.gd/krLT
    I'm also experiencing issues with the cursor randomly jumping across the screen.
    It's isolated to the 30 cinema and the adapter. The Macbook Pro works fine when connected tot he new 24" LED Cinema.
    Any advice on what to do? Is it a faulty adapter? Is there a SW/Firmware upgrade?
    Thank you!

    I'm having the exact same problem. Have you called Apple and if so, what did they say? I read in a magazine that you can switch to the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics processor some how with in our computer. I don't know how or if this may solve the problem.

  • TS3232 I have the mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter firmware 1.03 and I still have screen flickering issues

    I have the mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter firmware 1.03 and I still have massive screen flickering issues on a Mac Mini 2012.
    I am using a Dell 30" monitor (it's the Samsung screen just rebranded) connected to a WD 4TB Thunderbolt drive connected to the Mac Mini.
    The screen is usable for the most part when I've just started the computer (although today I started having issues after a fresh restart) but if even just the screen goes to sleep, or the computer goes to sleep and I wake it later, I start to have massive flickering to black and occasionally to snow.
    The effect seems to be more likely to arise when I'm on heavy graphics-intensive websites or programs (eg, Tumblr feed with lots of GIF images or working in Adobe Premiere), but once it starts shutting down those programs has no effect, the screen keeps flickering wildly.
    The problem improved after the 1.03 firmware upgrade (for a while it was flickering uncontrollably ALL the time and was virtually unusable) but it has not gone away.
    Any suggestions would be very welcome, either for how to fix this issue or how to get Apple to, you know, let me TELL THEM that their adapter firmware fix has NOT solved the issue, since my phone support has expired. :/

    I have a new Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter to allow my original Apple 30" Cinema Display to connect to the new Mac Pro.  Shipped straight from Apple, it is firmware version 1.03.  I've never had flickering issues, but the display will often go black (possibly after a screen power save) and not come back.  when this happens I am still able to connect to and use the Mac via remote connection.  But the only way to get the screen back is either to unplug the adapter and plug it back in to the Mac, or to shut down and power up the Mac.  This may be a separate issue, so I'll also post it standalone...

  • Mini displayport to dual-Link DVI Adapter - flicker issue resolved

    I have a late 2013 Imac 27 inch and I had a 30"  Dell 3007wfp as my second monitor on the standard DVI adapter for a while at low resolution.  I finally got off my behind and bought the mini displayport to dual-Link DVI Adapter...  I was excited to see it in all it's glory.  It immediately started flickering wildly and I thought I'd do some reading to see how I could resolve it.   Pointers to making sure the adapter was version 1.03 didn't help. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3232
    I already had it.  I was getting ready to bite the bullet and just take it back when I decided to see if I had another DVI cable to swap the one I was using out "just in case".  I found another one.. same length.  Darn it. Then I noticed the DVI cable diameter I was using was significantly thinner than the one I found in my box of etc...  What the heck? I thought.
    Connected it and BOOM!  Vivid colors, high resolution, no more flickers!!   Issue gone.  Happy days!

  • Single Link DVI-I to Dual Link DVI-D?!!

    I have a (G1)Power Mac G5 with a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with a Single Link DVI-I connecter, and my LG 19'' LCD has a Dual Link DVI-D connecter. What DVI cable do I need? I heard the newer Dual Link DVI-D cable will work with the older Single Link DVI-I. if it does, how does this work? DVI-I and DVI-D has differant pin slots. Please help!

    The display is probably single-link DVD unless it is more than 1920 X 1200. The DVI plug may have all the pins, but the dual-link pins are probably not connected to any wires. The Graphics board uses DVI-I which include digital and analog. It can be used with DVI-D cables which don't use the analog signals.

  • 30'' Cinema Display with mini-display-port to dual link DVI adapter usb hub

    Hi all, I don't know if any one of you experience this issue and can help me.
    I am using an unibody macbook pro (late2008 model) to connect to a 30'' cinema display via the famous $100 mini diaplay port to dual link DVI adapter. I have connected the usb cable from the ACD to the adapter and the usb cable of the adapter to my macbook pro. This setting works fine under OSX 10.5.7.
    When I am using Windows Vista under bootcamp the USB hub on the back of the ACD doesn't work. The device manager of Vista shows an excalmatory mark besides the device "Generic usb hub"; and it reports a problem of "the device cannot be started".
    I doubted this problem is due to Windows cannot recognise the $100 adapter as a "generic usb hub"; and apple has not release a driver for this $100 adapter for windows.
    Since my MBP only has 2 usb ports and the $100 adapter already occupied one, it would be very much helpful if the usb hub of the ACD can work just like in OSX. Can anyone think of any suggestion?
    Much appreciated for reading this post and thank you.

    i don't have an answer for you, but i feel your pain. very frustrating when this happens with Apple products and Vista/Bootcamp. wish they were more compatible, for it would make things so much easier for the consumer.

  • Apple's Mini Displayport to Dual link DVI Adapter... What to do?

    So i'm doing a new setup with 6 monitors (Eyefinity 6), and i've got everything set up so far... Except for adapters. So i went and got 4 Of those Accel MDP to DVI SL adapters, in addition to the two passive that come with a card. Didn't work...
    So i got two Apple Mini Displayport to Dual Link DVI Adapters... And boy, I should have read the reviews before buying them. They are giving me very strange issues. Not going above 800X600, serious graphics corruption on the monitors connected to the apple adapters, or odd resolutions that the monitors do not support.
    So i'm wondering what to do. If possible, i'd like to get these to work somehow, as i got them for cheaper than other MDP to Dual Link adapters. They are both plugged in to the USB ports of my mac pro.
    I've also heard something about a firmware version, 1.2 or something. Is there a way to update the firmware of these?
    Thanks
    -C

    I'm using the Sapphire 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition. Two of them in crossfire, supplied their power from an external 1200W PSU Devoted just to them.
    It's under Windows 7, running on my mac Pro 2.26.
    Hooking them both up to a iphone cube-wall charger keeps them up and running, but they fail to supply the necessary resolution (One only registers 640X The other dimension, the other thinks the monitor is 1920X1080, when it really is 1920X1200).
    Not to mention, attempting to use any of them in an extended desktop led to a MACHINECHECKEXCEPTION bsod.
    I can't find any sign of what the whole issue is, i'm having issues with the eyefinity setup itself too, so i dunno if its the adapters, the card, drivers, or what. The apple adapters are acting up on me though.

    Yes. A single-link DVI connection can't drive that monitor at its maximum resolution.
