Description

Black Box VA-MDP12-DP12 Video Adapter Dongle - Mini Displayport 1.2 TO Displayport

Overview

The Black Box VA-MDP12-DP12 is a passive adapter designed to convert a Mini DisplayPort 1.2 output signal to a standard DisplayPort signal. This is essential for connecting devices with Mini DisplayPort outputs, such as many laptops and small form-factor PCs, to monitors or displays that utilize a standard DisplayPort input. It supports resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160) at a 60Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth video playback and a responsive desktop experience for demanding applications like video surveillance monitoring or high-resolution data visualization.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any source device featuring a Mini DisplayPort 1.2 output. It is designed to work with displays and monitors that have a standard DisplayPort input. For optimal performance, ensure both the source device and the display support DisplayPort 1.2 or higher. It is particularly useful for integrating Mini DisplayPort-equipped workstations into existing DisplayPort infrastructure, common in control rooms and enterprise environments.

Installation Notes

This is a passive adapter, meaning it relies on the Mini DisplayPort source to provide the necessary DisplayPort signal. No external power is required. Simply connect the Mini DisplayPort end to your source device and the DisplayPort end to your monitor or display cable. Ensure a secure connection on both ends to prevent signal degradation or intermittent issues.
