Hi - I've been trying to find a way of simply connect an Ipad2 to a 24 inch cinema display.
I've searched this thread and the web but can find no simple way of doing this - in fact you would not believe how complicated it is - involving 4 connectors!
I think it would take the following adaptors:
1. Ipad2 female dock connector - this connects to:
2. Apple TV adaptor which provides two connectors:
a. Apple dock connector to usb for ipad2 power
b. Female hdmi connector
3.b Then connect a male hdmi to make MDP cable
4. The connect a female MDP to female MDP (see for examplehttp://www.amazon.com/Mini-Display-Port-Female-Coupler/dp/B003KQ6BMC )
5. Then connect to the male MDP that is directly connected to the 24 cinema display.
Is it really that difficult?
Any better suggestions would be most welcome.
cheers
Simon
