To ensure compatibility with any Mini DisplayPort output the mDP adapter offers an active
conversion. Active video conversion is required to maintain 4K resolutions when converting Mini
DisplayPort to HDMI. An active mDP adapter is also ideal for outputting 1080p resolutions by ensuring
compatibility with graphics cards that are not capable of outputting multi-mode DP++ signals (e.g. ATI
Eyefinity).
To support your Mac® the HDMI converter is compatible with Intel® Thunderbolt™ devices that output a
DisplayPort video signal.
With a sleek uniform white design the MDP2HD4KSW looks great next to your Mac®, and is backed by a
2-year StarTech.com warranty, and lifetime technical support.
