jchillerup Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 (edited) Hi, I recently bought a Mac along with a MiniDVI->DVI converter. And this is my problem: (where the female plug only has one hole for the long pin, the male plug has four small pins and one long) Can it really be true that Apple sells plugs only compatible with their own hardware?

freedomlinux Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 It is possible that one of the connectors is an ADC connector, which is proprietary. The ADC is DVI, but more. I believe it includes power, because my 23" Cinema (not HD) monitors uses it, and it is the only cable to the monitor. The display has no other cable, so the ADC must also be the power cable. The ADC is designed slightly differently (pin arrangement and size) to prohibit damaing an incompatable display. Talk to your local Mac store to get the proper adapters.

Fossie Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Is that a dvi-i cable you have? The mini-dvi - dvi converter is only dvi-d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
