Hey, I want to upgrade my Powermac G4 to Mac Pro 2006-2012. I wonder if my existing Apple CRT Studio Display could work with her. Or I shall give up that display. Thanks and good day!
ADC adapters won't work with CRT displays, only LCDs.
Thanks for your reply, Malcolm. If so, can I plug the Apple CRT Studio Display to Mac Pro directly?
No.
Why? Because Mac Pro doesn't old crt display?
Mac Pro doesn't support old CRT display?
Mac Pros do not have ADC (Apple Display Connector) ports. There are adapters from DVI to ADC but they are for LCDs, not CRT displays. The adapter includes the power supply for the display, and a CRT needs a lot more power than a LCD. Also the Apple adapter does not pass through the analog video needed by a CRT.
It is possible to build your own adapter if you get a power supply (24-28 VDC, 5 A).
Dear Malcolm,
It's quite complicated, but I will try to think about it. Thank you!
