Aqua-Soft ForumsHey, i just spent a hell of a lot of money on a powerbook and a cinema display. I now have a small room in my house and i'm wondering what kind of cables there are (if?) that can hook video game systems up to the monitor? I'd need like composite (red white and yellow) or even find some component (red, green, blue.) Does anybody know of any cables or companies that make em? Thanks.
Running Xbox On A 23" Cinema Display?
A/V HD Xbox Pack might work.

I think what i'm really asking is:
1. What are the two USB ports in the back of my monitor?
2. I'm assuming you can run video through USB, cause it works for camera's and such, is there a Composite Video to USB connector that could be hooked into the back of the monitor to allow video to run through it?
Hopefully this helps..
The problem here is that the Apple monitor is not a TV and it also doesn't have a DVI connector. So what you would have to do is connect the monitor to a ADC to DVI connector, and then you'd be able to hook it to a device that has a DVI port. Assuming the HD adaptor uses DVI you can use that and the ADC adaptor together to hook your xbox up to the monitor.
You can't use the USB ports as those are hooked to the ADC cable and it gets adapted with the adaptor so you could use the monitor as a hub. That's basically what those are, a built in USB hub on the monitor.
