+--- Thread: Connecting Panasonic CF-08 to a Mac (/thread-748.html)
- AdrianX - May 17, 2009
Panasonic make a Wifi/Bluetooth capable external waterproof monitor - the CF-08.
Has anyone tried to connect to a Mac with such a monitor? Would enable the safer location of a Macbook or Mini and then be able to use the monitor in potentially wet areas. Recognise iNavx allows effectively the same but this monitor offers a bigger screen.
Any guidance would be gratefully received.

The CF 08 is a tablet computer rather than just a monitor so the question would be, will it run MAC OSX I think.

I use this wireless display with a PC and deckman for windows. Its operating system is windows CE 5.0, that can run a client for windows remote desktop connection. It's also possible to install a VNC client, so a connection to a macwith a running VNC server is possible. I haven't tested it yet but I think I will do it in the following weeks.
