Overview

Introducing the Apple DVI to ADC adapter, which allows you to connect any Apple flat-panel display featuring an Apple Display Connector (ADC) to a PowerBook G4 or Power Mac G4 computer with DVI port.

The combination of the new PowerBook G4 with a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) port and the Apple DVI to ADC adapter brings the pure-digital viewing experience of Apple’s professional-quality displays to PowerBook users. Now you can benefit from a larger viewing area when your PowerBook is at your office.

The Apple DVI to ADC Adapter is also a superb solution for Power Mac G4 users who need extra workspace of the highest visual quality. Use it to connect an additional ADC-equipped Apple flat-panel display to a Power Mac G4 computer with a DVI port, and you’ll have the ultimate digital desktop.

The Apple DVI to ADC Adapter offers much more than just a physical connection between a DVI port and a digital ADC monitor. It has been carefully designed to maintain the digital integrity of the video signal for the best possible viewing experience. The adapter provides an all-digital signal path between the computer and the display. It features active components that regenerate both the digital graphics and USB signals coming from the computer. This ensures delivery of the highest-quality images even at the extremely fast signal rates used by the Apple Cinema HD Display.

A compact design enables the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to fit easily on or under your desk. This single unit includes a power supply, power cord, and DVI/USB cable.

    Massive box adds extra expense and clutter...

    Written by WL from Los Angeles

    1/12/2005

    If you order a new G5 and expect it to work with your Apple Display Connection equipped Cinema Display, think again. Imagine opening your Apple Computer to find that it isn't compatible with your Apple Monitor, and there is no easy fix except to order this big, clunky expensive adapter. I can understand if this is a fix to make a PC product work on a Mac, but this is Mac to Mac. There is nothing wrong with my 20" Cinema, why would I want to replace it with the current model? I am really upset by this. …More

    HUGE

    Written by IO from San Francisco

    23/09/2005

    This adapter is huge, contrary to Apple's pictures on this page the device takes up a massive amount of space. It is as big as the Mac Mini so kinda defeats the purpose of buying a nice little mac mini to save space and look good. All this results from Apple's dumb decision to go with ADC in the first place. …More

    Beware, Mac Sleep Function Does Not Work

    Written by KR from Kodak

    7/04/2007

    I was also annoyed when I bought the top of the line studio display monitor and the top of the line G5 and then found I had to spend $100 to connect the two! After connecting I found the computer would no longer wake from sleep, then after a few minutes the fan in the G5 speeds up so loud I think it is going to explode. It does this every time I put the computer to sleep using this adaptor. Plug a different monitor up to it without this brick and the G5 works fine. After a year and a half of having to shut the computer down every day instead of sleep the power supply in my G5 just burned out. Thanks Apple. …More

    Using Formac ADC monitor with a Mac Mini

    Written by CA from Bolton

    23/11/2009

    This review is to help anyone with a Formac ADC monitor.
    I couldn't find any info anywhere and so I bought the adapter on chance - it does work. My 20in ADC Formac monitor already has a supplementary power pack similar to this adapter and you would assume that would make the power pack on the adapter redundant or at least confuse it. However both power packs have to be plugged in to work the monitor. No complaints or problems so far but it is a silly price and there doesn't seem to be any alternative product available. …More

    Works fine. Dimming is now back thanks to "Shades" utility

    I have used this adapter for a couple years. It works. However, you loose the dimming feature, that is when connecting it as an external display on my MacBook. However, thanks to the freeware "Shades", I can now dim the display! …More

    ADC to DVI Adapter

    Written by BA from Springville

    18/10/2009

    I bought it, hooked it up to my 20" iMac, 2.4ghz dual core and my old 23" HD Cinema Display (this also required the mini dvi to dvi adapter which I got on web auction for $5). It works perfectly! The USB ports in the back of my old display work perfectly as well and they power my devices that need allot of power like the iPhone. I chose to buy straight from apple because of the horror stories I read here on the old versions of the adapter, I wanted to be sure I got a new one. I am very happy with my purchase and how well it works.

    I don't love having to spend $100 bucks, but now that I have the adapter I can see why it is so much money. I went to buy a firewire cable locally and it was $25 - $35 for a simple cable. So maybe the adapter price isn't that unreasonable since it also has a USB adapter and a power supply built in.
