![]() I've noticed that the LED Cinema Display is listed as a Mini DisplayPort display (from ): Thunderbolt port into an older display, DVI or whatever but you cannotĬonvert MAC DVI into Thunderbolt.I think I am sure that Kanex don't do anything that will help you no matterĪs far as I am aware, and I have done a lot of reading about this, youĬan connect an older display to the new Thunderbolt port of a new MACīut you CANNOT connect the Thunderbolt display to anything other thanĪ MAC with a Thunderbolt port. However, opinions diverge on whether it will work with a Thunderbolt display at all: MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, or PC with this (.) Kanex solution. The poster is probably refering to a product mentioned earlier in the thread: the Kanex C247D Single-Link DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter, advertised like this:Ĭonnect a (.) LED Cinema Display to your DVI-equipped There is some hope, though, as the post goes on to say:Įxpensive ones that will convert DVI computer ports to Mini Mini DisplayPort computer port to a DVI display. I can confirm that Mini DisplayPort to DVI converter works ONLY from a To connect a computer with a DVI/VGA port to a Thunderbolt display (from this thread): You can't use Mini DisplayPort to DVI or VGA adaptors: The steps to configure and enable Target Display mode are very similar.). (As a side note: Older iMacs with Mini DisplayPort also support Target Display Mode. Press ⌘ F2 on the keyboard of the iMac.Make sure the iMac and the primary computer are turned on and awake.Connect the Thunderbolt cable to the Thunderbolt ports on each computer.If you happen to own a laptop with a Thunderbolt port follow these simple steps to extend your display (Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable required) (from KB PH4469): NOTE: This won't work for iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) and later iMac models as they don't support Target Display Mode. Target Display Mode lets you use your iMac as the external display forĪnother, “primary” computer. Mac OS X 10.4 - 10.5: JollysFastVNC.10.4.Thunderbolt-equipped iMacs prior to iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) (see this document), like your iMac (Mid 2011), support Target Display mode: You can mail me by clicking on the mail link inside the ‘About box’ in JollysFastVNC. Read the Readme before submitting though. I'm thinking about a solution which does not slow down high performance servers like ScreenRecycler.įeedback is very welcome if you have a truly new idea or found a bug. Some servers are not capable of handling the amount of requests JollysFastVNC sends them. As I got a few mails about the VNC capabilities of JollysFastVNC I decided to enhance the program to be a fully functional VNC client. So I started programming JollysFastVNC to let people use the full power of ScreenRecycler. ![]() Without a proper viewer people can't access ScreenRecycler in the way I imagined. I was using VNCThing at the time which proved to be acceptable on PPC Macs but does not run on Intel Macs. When the program started to get useful I realized that the VNC clients available on the Mac were pretty slow and people were complaining about the speed of ScreenRecycler. When I started ScreenRecycler I thought that there were enough VNC clients out there to support it.
