Depending on models, your computer might have a Mini DisplayPort connector, a digital display interface for connecting to various external devices, such as a CRT monitor, projector, or high-definition television. You also can use it to connect to a DVI, VGA, or HDMI connector through a converter cable. The Mini DisplayPort connector of your computer supports audio as well as video streaming.

•When you attach a USB cable to the connector, ensure that the USB mark is facing upward. Otherwise the connector might be damaged.
