The Gefen DVI to Mini DP Converter

The DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter enables computers with single-link DVI to output on monitors or displays using the Mini Displayport interface. DisplayPort displays can easily be connected using a Mini Displayport to DisplayPort adapter.

DisplayPort is a standard that handles today’s higher video resolutions and AV bandwidths while making connections simpler than in the past. Mini DisplayPort is a variation of DisplayPort.

Unlike the video signal relationship between DVI and HDMI, which is interchangeable, DisplayPort cannot natively support the transmission of these signal types without active electronics to modify the signal. Gefen’s DVI to Mini DisplayPort ensures compatibility with all current and legacy DVI devices.

How It Works

Connect a DVI-D cable into your computer source’s DVI-D connector. Connect the other side of the DVI-D cable to the DVI input on the DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter. Connect the Display device at its Mini DisplayPort connector. Connect the included power supply to the unit. You will now see a sharp, clear DVI picture on your DisplayPort-compliant display device.

Note: This device is compatible with digital DVI input signals only. DVI-A or VGA analog sources, interlaced video formats, and HDCP copy protected signals are not supported.
