Hi,

There could be issues when using the Dr. Bott converter. I have an older type and it never worked with HDLink. I can remember that I had to have my first HDLink demo set working for a big Apple event in Germany, and I could not get my units working. I phoned Australia and they did not understand why my HDLinks were not working. As a last attempt to replicate the problem, they went to a local shop to fetch a Dr. Bott converter and when they used it instead of their Apple converter they had the same problem as I had: no output.

Maybe with later versions there’s no problems any more but I am not aware of that.
If possible, try it out. May be working for you.

The Apple converter is OK. We never had any problems with it.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for your replies. I will get the Apple and give it a try once I save up for the HDLink!
