Proprietary connector used on Apple Macintosh Centris computers, and the Apple AudioVision 14 Display. An attempt by Apple to deal with cable clutter, by combining five separate cables from computer to monitor. Female port (20-pin) Digital Flat Panel (DFP) Used with the PanelLink digital video protocol. Deprecated. Made obsolete by DVI.
In addition to carrying analog RGB video, the connector supports analog stereo audio signals (input and output), Apple Desktop Bus (ADB), and S-video input. [4] Because the AudioVision 14 Display has front-mounted connectors for ADB and audio and video, a single consolidated cable and proprietary connector was used to simplify the connection to the computer and reduce cable clutter.
The DisplayPort standard is partially compatible with Thunderbolt, as the two share Apple's physically compatible MDP connector. The Target Display mode on iMacs requires a Thunderbolt cable to accept a video-in signal from another Thunderbolt-capable computer. [58] A DP monitor must be the last (or only) device in a chain of Thunderbolt devices.
There are a number of reasons why you might want or need to connect your laptop to an external monitor, including the need for a larger screen, sharing a presentation with a small group or even ...
The Apple Display Connector is physically incompatible with a standard DVI connector. The Apple DVI to ADC Adapter, [1] which cost $149US at launch but was in 2002 available for $99US, [2] takes USB and DVI connections from the computer, adds power from its own integrated power supply, and combines them into an ADC output, allowing ADC monitors to be used with DVI-based machines.
Apple's Dual-Link DVI or VGA adapters are relatively large and expensive compared to past adapters, and customers have reported problems with them, such as being unable to connect to an external display. Monitors connected to a Mini DisplayPort via these adaptors may have resolution problems or not "wake up" from sleep. [13] [14] [15]
The AudioVision 14 uses the same 14-inch CRT as the Macintosh Color Display. [5] It is the only display to use the HDI-45 connector [citation needed] (which Apple called the Integrated Desktop Connector), capable of transferring video to the screen, video capture input from an S-Video source, audio output, audio input, and Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) all through one cable, with plug and play support.
DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard (approved May 2006, current version 1.4 published on March 1, 2016). It defines a new license-free, royalty-free, digital audio/video interconnect, intended to be used primarily between a computer and its display monitor, or a computer and a home-theater system.
