Mini DisplayPort to DVI Active Adapter

StarTech ID: MDP2DVIS

The MDP2DVIS Mini DisplayPort to DVI Active Adapter (single-link) lets you connect your Mini-DisplayPort
video source to a DVI-D display, including televisions and Apple Cinema Display HD, eliminating the expense of
having to upgrade to a DisplayPort capable monitor.

Unlike passive video adapters, this Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter offers an active conversion for use with any
Mini DisplayPort output - ideal for graphics cards that are not capable of outputting multi-mode DP++ signals
(e.g. ATI Eyefinity).

Supporting resolutions up to 1920x1200, this compact device provides a simple solution for adapting PC or
Mac® Mini-DisplayPort output for DVI monitors, televisions or projectors.

The Mini DP to DVI adapter is compatible with Intel® Thunderbolt™, when connected directly to a supporting
DisplayPort over Thunderbolt™ I/O port.

Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Applications

Keep your existing DVI monitor to be used with your new Mini DisplayPort device
Perfect for larger format screens that use high DVI resolutions
Adapt from graphics cards that are not capable of outputting DP++ signals
