Will this PowerBook/Cinima Display set up work together?
I am thinking about getting a <a href="http://www.apple.com/powerbook/index12.html" target="_blank">12-inch PowerBook</a> then getting a <a href="http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1301" target="_blank">VGA to ADV converter</a> and connecting it to a new <a href="http://www.apple.com/displays/acd20/" target="_blank">20-inch Cinema Display</a>.
Does anyone know if this setup would work out? Would all the resolutions work together (the PowerBooks graphics card resolution and the Cinema display resolution). Would I be able to have two monitors working at the same time on my PowerBook and the Cinema display. Does anyone know how good those VGA to ADC converters work? Do they give you any distortion or any loss?
Thanks a lot!

Can't tell you about the VGA-ADC adapter though.
2. I think they don't promote the VGA-ADC because they sell their own solution, the whole DVI-ADC thing.
There had not been a pro product without DVI until now...
I think it should work just fine.
<strong>1. Hi Mike! How's Omni treating you?

1. Great! We are working on some incredible stuff right now. I am really exited to let you all see it.
2. ok thanks. I E-mailed gefen with my question. I wish Apple would have just put a ****ing DVI port on the thing!

yeah i would email them to check compatibility with the new displays... they do not work with non-apple ADC monitors, so it may just be a hack for (old) apple monitors only....
