Those settings are in the Screen Recycler program's preferences. I was also advised to 'disable compression and degradation' as well as the screen colours to thousands. Then you know it is using the wired connection.
#SCREENRECYCLER FOR MAC HOW TO#
I am also unsure how to tell the software to use a connection via ethernet cable A wired ethernet connection that is working at gigabit (1000Base-T) speed will be better than using wireless. If it is Cat-5 or lower, you may only get 100Base-T speed or less. Make sure it is at least rated Cat-5e so that it is working at gigabit speed between the two Macs. I also have an old ethernet cable that i have just connected between the two machines. So you can use if for video editing just don't put the window with the video on the ScreenRecycler screen. I also use it for tool palettes with program that have such controls. I use it for my Mail window that shows my email list. What ScreenRecycler is good for is showing things that change less frequently. You need to get a regular monitor and attach it to your MBP as a display (the usual way) if you want +seamless graphics+. It will not be fast enough to give satisfactory results when showing video. ScreenRecycler just uses that capability (along with VNC) in a clever way.

It is the same method used for doing +screen sharing+, where you can see another Mac's screen from your Mac and remote control it. ScreenRecycler uses a network connection to transmit the video signal. P.s is it the case that 'screen sharing' facility with leopard does not allow you to 'extend' your screen with another computer, just control that computer on your screen? I am not noticing any visible difference with the ethernet cable really, but i am also unsure how to tell the software to use a connection via ethernet cable, rather than a wireless one.Ĭan i just cable the two computers together? and if so, where do i confirm in their settings that they should connect via the ethernet cable?

#SCREENRECYCLER FOR MAC WINDOWS#
I noticed while i was trying it that there are visible delays/pixelation if you take video windows onto the remote screen (on the iMac), and redraw lags whilst using CAD.įirst i tried the setup just wirelessly, and changed screen colours to thousands (as recommended by ScreenRecycler).
I would like to use it for video editing and CAD so need fairly seamless graphics. I am connecting a MBP (new version) with an old iMac (intel core duo 1.83GHz 10.4.11) to enable screen sharing and use the iMac as an extended screen for my MBP. I have noticed on these forums that many people have suggested using ScreenRecycler as a way of using an iMac as an external monitor.
#SCREENRECYCLER FOR MAC TRIAL#
Though it's apparently actually a $200 add-on card instead of the comes-with-the-motherboard based solution I thought it was- I may have been conflating two separate products.I have just tried out the trial version of ScreenRecycler.
Have you got a link to that? Certainly interests me.Īnandtech article states discrete gfx are output through TB using Lucid's Virtu software. And given the problems I had finding a video card that'd actually drive my 2010 27" iMac when anything should have worked in theory, I'm not willing to place a bet. Asus now makes a motherboard that includes a cable that goes between your discrete video card and an input on the board, channeling the video card's DisplayPort into the motherboard's Thunderbolt, which ought to be a good solution to the "I want decent graphics but need Thunderbolt" problem, but I've not seen whether or not it works with an iMac in Target Display Mode- in theory, it ought to, but I'm not sure anyone's actually tried it.
