  1. 1ADC-DVI conversion adaptor is required for outputting a digital signal. Setting the monitor to receive an ADC signal is also required when using the type 1 adaptor mentioned below.
  2. 2ADC-DVI conversion adaptor type 2 mentioned below is required for outputting a digital signal.
  3. 3Mini-DVI adopter is required for connecting with an external monitor.
  4. 4Screen noise may be seen with digital connection.
  5. 5When starting up the OS screen noise may be seen and the apple mark may blink.

Types of ADC-DVI conversion adaptors

The manufacturers no longer make these products.

1. ADC-DVI adaptor with no digital signal detection function
Product Example: Belkin Corporation [Apple Monitor Adaptor]
2. ADC-DVI adaptor with digital signal detection function
Product Example: Dr.Bott KG [DVI Extractor I]

ADC-DVI conversion adapter type 2 has backward compatibility and can be used instead of type 1.
