How to convert a Cinema Display to be used on a Raspberry Pi?

[Giuanniello]

Long story short,

I still have the amazing at the time Cinema Display HD 23" in plexiglass, I got it an ADC to DVI adapter so I could use it with other hardware and since I am going to get a Raspberry to be used as a music server I was wondering if there is a way to use the display along with the Raspberry through some sort of adaptor so that the HDMI output of the Pi can be converted to DVI (which I guess being DVI-D in the case of the original ADC to DVI adapter), any hints?

grazie

p.s. I see some female DVI to male HDMI on the usual Amazon, would these work?

These adapters will work fine with a normal display that has a straight DVI connection. I don't know how they'll do with the Apple display with the ADC adapter in there.

I got an adapter similiar to this: https://www.amazon.de/Rankie-Adapte...=1546978282&sr=1-13&keywords=hdmi+dvi+adapter

hooked up to my 23" ACD + RasPi 3. Works just fine

Thank you so much for your feedback, I will try and get one to find out, grazie again!

Fyi, I erroneously assumed your ACD is similar to mine; however, just realised it isn't. Mine is the ACD 23" in Aluminium with DVI, no ADC interface.

In short, mentioned adapter plugs directly into the RasPi and the DVI port of the cinema display.

Yup, I am using the same adapter, purchased from bestbuy for $20. Works fine.

My case is different since the ADC to DVI adapter is a box where the ADC connector from the display plugs in and then on the other side of the box a DVI cable runs to the computer, what I'd need is to go from computer's, the Raspberry Pi in this instance, HDMI to converter's DVI which is a male plug so female DVI to male HDMI which there is plenty of on Amazon or eBay but just wondering if they work and not throwing money out of the window.
