The Apple Cinema HD is a stunning, all-digital, 30-inch flat panel
display with a 2560-by-1600-pixel resolution. It’s compatible with Mac
computers with a DVI port and Mac computers with Mini DisplayPort using
the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter.
Overview
The 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display delivers an amazing 2560 x 1600
pixel resolution. Designed specifically for the creative professional,
this display provides more space for easier access to all the tools and
palettes needed to edit, format and composite your work.
The Cinema HD is designed with a pure digital interface to deliver
distortion-free images that never need adjusting. With over 4 million
digital pixels, the display is ideal for reviewing multiple images side
by side in Aperture — or just one, full screen and large as life. Work
in Photoshop with room to see all the layers in your palette. Take in
the whole timeline in Final Cut Pro. Or peer into four different modes
of a molecule visualization with subatomic detail.
Offering accurate, brilliant color performance, the Cinema HD
delivers a wide gamut allowing you to see subtle nuances between colors
from soft pastels to rich jewel tones. A wide viewing angle ensures
uniform color from edge to edge. Apple’s ColorSync technology allows
you to create custom profiles to maintain consistent color onscreen and
in print.
Housed in an aluminum enclosure, the display has a thin bezel that
enhances visual accuracy. Each display features two FireWire 400 ports
and two USB 2.0 ports, making attachment of desktop peripherals — such
as iPod, iPhone, digital and still cameras, hard drives, printers and
scanners — even more accessible and convenient. Customers with the
optional Cinema Display VESA Mount Adapter kit gain the flexibility to
mount their display in locations most appropriate for their work
environment.
The Cinema HD features a single cable design with elegant breakout
for the USB 2.0, FireWire 400 and a pure digital connection using the
industry standard Digital Video Interface (DVI) interface. The DVI
connection allows for a direct pure-digital connection.
