The adapter is also compatible with both AMD Eyefinity and NVIDIA Surround technologies. The adapter has passed the extensive testing requirements necessary for VESA certification, and is compliant with VESA Dual-Mode DisplayPort 1.2, High Bit Rate 2 (HBR2), and HDMI 2.0 standards. Additionally some Apple systems will not be capable of outputting audio from Thunderbolt 2 to the HDMI display. Only Macs with “official” 4K support from Apple will be capable of 4K output using this adapter, while most will be limited to 1080P output. Please be aware that with an update to macOS Mavericks, Apple disabled 4K video output on the vast majority of Mac models-even models which previously were able to output 4K.
Apple Notes: While our mDP adapters work with Apple Thunderbolt ports, the maximum supported resolution will depend on the model of Mac and monitor in use. This adapter supports resolutions up to 4K (3840x2160 60Hz) refresh rate for computer monitors and televisions with Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), 4K 30Hz with High Dynamic Range (HDR) capable televisions and monitors. Active adapters use an integrated chipset to convert the DisplayPort signal from the computer to a HDMI signal, compatible with HDMI displays. HDMI should be treated as a legacy compatibility mechanism for things which normally connect to TVs (like gaming consoles).Plugable's Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Active Adapter (MDP-HDMI) allows you to easily connect the Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt 2 output on your Mac or PC laptop, desktop, or tablet to virtually any HDMI-enabled display. DisplayPort can only be tunnelled over Thunderbolt because it consists of packets. Unless HDMI has been redesigned or overhauled in recent revisions, it is not packet-based, which severely limits its usability in a modern context. There are a lot of monitors with DisplayPort available. įor the computer to support it, you will needa) GPU which supports DP1.4 and is actually wired to the Thunderbolt controller directlyb) Titan Ridge or later Thunderbolt controller in the computerc) Thunderbolt dock (Titan Ridge or later) supporting DP1.4, or a USB-C to DP1.4 adapter (most are only DP 1.2)īasically every component in the chain must support DP1.4 and that is not a given as the vast majority are still DP1.2.īut for next time, I would avoid any reliance on HDMI. Here is DP1.4 to HDMI 2.1 adapter claiming 4K 120Hz support. HDMI 2.0 (which is common) will not support 4K 120Hz. Search for Thunderbolt docks or dongles which mention HDMI 2.1. You will need something which converts from Thunderbolt to HDMI 2.1, if that exists.
