The VisionTek mini DisplayPort to DL DVI-D Adapter features a mini DP male connector on one end and a DVI-D female connector on the other. The adapter allows you to connect any mini DisplayPort-equipped laptop, including the Mac® family of products, to a standard DVI-D connection such as an HDTV, monitor, or projector. Watch movies in perfect 1080p clarity or tackle your most demanding software applications across multiple displays. The mDP to DVI active adapter requires a DVI cable (sold separately). Unlike passive adapters, this mDP to DVI converter offers an active chipset for compatibility with any Mini DisplayPort output - ideal for graphics cards and devices that do not support outputting multi-mode DP++ signals (e.g. AMD Eyefinity).
