Plugable’s Mini DisplayPort to HDMI passive adapter (MDPM-HDMIF) allows you to connect from a Thunderbolt 2 or Mini Dual-Mode DisplayPort (DP++) output on your laptop, desktop, or tablet to virtually any HDMI-enabled display.
Passive adapters rely on the DisplayPort output of the host system to provide the necessary signaling to support an HDMI display.
The adapter supports resolutions up to 4K 30Hz (3840×2160 @ 30Hz). All resolutions below 4K—such as 2560×1440 and 1080p—are supported at 60Hz refresh rate.
Are you wondering if your DisplayPort output supports DP++? These ports are often noted with a DP++ symbol next to the port itself. If you may be unsure if your DisplayPort port is DP++ capable, please check with your system manufacturer.
Compatibility
- Compatible with Thunderbolt/Thunderbolt 2 Macs, or laptops that have Dual-Mode Mini DisplayPort output ports (DP++) to add a HDMI-capable monitor, TV, or projector.
- In order to display at 4K resolution, the host’s graphics adapter and attached display need to be 4K capable.
Applications
- Connect a HDMI-equipped monitor to a Dual-Mode Mini DisplayPort (DP++) or Thunderbolt 2 output from your computer.
- Portable for traveling professionals to connect to other HDMI displays.
Incompatible Setups
- This adapter is not bidirectional and will not convert video in the other direction
