FAQs
What is the maximum resolution supported by this adapter?
The adapter supports high-speed output up to 4K x 2K resolution at a 30Hz refresh rate.
Does this adapter require any drivers or software installation?
No, this is a Plug and Play adapter, meaning it does not require any drivers or software installation. It should be recognized automatically by your operating system.
Can I connect a Mini DisplayPort source to an HDMI source?
No, this adapter is unidirectional. It converts a Mini DisplayPort signal to an HDMI signal. You cannot use it to connect an HDMI source to a Mini DisplayPort display.
Does the adapter transmit audio?
Yes, the adapter supports audio transmission along with video, provided your source device outputs audio through its Mini DisplayPort.
What is the length of the built-in lead?
The adapter features a 20cm built-in lead.
Is this adapter compatible with Thunderbolt 1 or 2 ports?
Yes, Thunderbolt 1 and 2 ports use the same physical connector as Mini DisplayPort and are generally compatible for video output.
What does 'Active adapter' mean?
An active adapter contains electronics (a chipset) to actively convert the signal, ensuring compatibility and support for higher resolutions and features, especially when a direct passive connection might not be sufficient.
Troubleshooting
No video or audio signal
Ensure the Mini DisplayPort is securely connected to the source device and the HDMI cable is securely connected to the display. Check that the display is set to the correct HDMI input. Verify your source device's display settings and ensure Mini DisplayPort 1.2 is supported if aiming for 4K resolution.
Resolution is lower than expected (e.g., 1080p instead of 4K)
Confirm that both your source device and display support 4K resolution. Ensure the Mini DisplayPort version on your source device is 1.2 or higher. Check your operating system's display settings to select the desired resolution.
Flickering or intermittent signal
Try a different HDMI cable or ensure the existing cable is high-speed rated. Check for any physical damage to the adapter's connectors. Ensure the source device's Mini DisplayPort is functioning correctly.
