  Multibridge Pro Output to Apple 23″ Display (via HDMI – DVI)

  Posted by Stephen Bull on July 21, 2006 at 1:58 am

  Hi Guys,

  Has anyone out there tried outputting to an Apple 23″ LCD display, via the HDMI output and a HDMI to DVI adapter?

  In theory I can not imagine why it wouldn’t work, but I just wanted to check before we went any further with the purchase. I realise the Multibridge Extreme has a built in DVI output, but we can’t justify the extra $1600.00 (AU) when we are just using it as a stand alone converter.

  I have copied below the specs of the HDMI to DVI converter I was thinking of using.

  DVI-D Female to HDMI Male Adapter Cable, 0.2m
  Converts a DVI cable for use with an HDMI interface!
  Connects an HDMI digital display to a device with a DVI-D display output
  Allows DVI-D signal cables to be connected to a display with an HDMI input
  This adapter supports digital signals only, analogue connections are not supported
  Connectors: DVI-D Female to HDMI Male
  Length: 20cm

  Appreciate any suggestions or ideas you might have.

  Cheers

  Steve
