ADNet Mini Display Port to HDMI 15cm 4K Adapter ADP-DH-1138

The ADNet ADP-DH-1138 is a compact, high-performance Mini DisplayPort (Mini DP) to HDMI adapter designed to bridge the gap between smaller devices—like older MacBooks, Surface Pro tablets, or high-end laptops—and modern 4K displays.

Here is a breakdown of its core features and technical specifications:

Core Functionality

This adapter is a passive converter that allows you to connect a device with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 1/2 output to a standard HDMI cable. It is a “plug-and-play” solution, meaning it requires no external power or drivers to function.

Key Specifications

Technical Highlights

• 4K Resolution Support: Unlike many standard adapters that cap at 1080p, the ADP-DH-1138 supports 4K resolution. This ensures that if you are connecting to a 4K TV or monitor, you maintain the high pixel density and clarity.

• Audio Pass-through: It supports full audio pass-through for uncompressed digital 7.1, 5.1, or 2 channels, assuming the source device’s Mini DP port supports audio output.

• Short Tail Design: The 15cm cable “pigtail” reduces the physical strain on your computer’s port compared to a solid one-piece adapter, which can be bulky and easily bumped.

• Thunderbolt Compatibility: It is fully compatible with Thunderbolt 1 and Thunderbolt 2 ports commonly found on Apple devices (MacBook Pro, Air, iMac) and various Windows ultrabooks.

Use Cases

• Dual Monitor Setup: Extending your desktop to a larger 4K monitor for productivity.

• Home Theater: Connecting a laptop to a 4K Smart TV to stream movies or browse the web.

• Presentations: Connecting a tablet or laptop to a projector in a conference room.

Note: This adapter is unidirectional. It only converts signal from Mini DisplayPort to HDMI. It will not work if you try to connect an HDMI computer to a Mini DisplayPort monitor.
