This adapter allows the Mini DisplayPort video output of a laptop to connect to the DVI-D input of a display and is perfect for applications including displaying video on an HDTV, projector, or monitor in a classroom, on a desktop, or in a meeting room. This Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D active adapter can be used in either DisplayPort single-mode or dual-mode outputs, providing the conversion for a Mini DisplayPort source even when that source does not support DP++. Active Mini DisplayPort conversion is excellent for applications where multiple Mini DisplayPort adapters are required to connect to a single graphics card. This allows every active adapter to interface with a corresponding display.
