Attach any DVI display to an Apple Display Connector
Apple computers such as the Power Macintosh G4 and the G4 Cube come with a new video connector called ADC (Apple Display Connector).
While ADC is very practical because it supplies the monitor with power as well as video and USB signals all in one cable there is a downside, too:
Older Apple monitors, like the original Cinema Display or the 15" graphite Apple Studio Display, are equipped with industry-standard DVI-Connectors. The same is true for many flat-panel displays in the PC market.
With DVI Extractor II all monitors with a 24-pin DVI-D or a 29-pin DVI-I connector can easily be used with the latest generation of Apple CPUs that sport the new ADC connector.
DVI Extractor II has been improved in two ways over the original DVI Extractor: It sports a DVI-I connector that will work with such digital displays that sport a DVI-I video cable. In addition certain displays that have not worked on the Mac so far now can be used with DVI Extractor II, models from Eizo and Samsung among them.
