OverviewCurrent generation Power Macs since the Power Macintosh G4/400 and the G4 Cube come with a 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 displays, like the original Cinema Display or the 15" graphite Apple Studio Display, are equipped with industry-standard DVI-Connectors. The same is true for a growing number of flat-panel displays in the PC market and of course the latest Cinema Displays from Apple, too!
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 any Apple CPU that sports 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 allows you to connect digital displays that come with a dual-purpose 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.
Compatibility:
DVI Extractor II is compatible with all Power Macintosh G4 and the G4 Cubes that come with an ADC graphics card. If in doubt, the Apple Tech Info Library (TIL) will help you differentiate between the various models.
DVI Extractor II makes an ADC-compatible display out of virtually any third-party flat panel display, including Apple's own DVI Cinema Displays, with a 24-pin DVI-D or a 29-pin DVI-I connector.
DVI Extractor II was specially built for the following flat panel displays not previously supported:
Eizo Nanao L351/675/685
IBM T860
Iiyama AS4637UT, AU4831D
Philips MP150/180
Samsung L1810, 152T
A reverse adapter called DVIator, is available for connecting ADC monitors to DVI graphics cards.
VGA Extractor, which enables dual VGA displays on current Power Macs just like DVI Extractor II enables dual DVI displays, is also available.
