1x Mini DisplayPort (male) to 1x HDMI® (female)
The input for the IB-AC538 is the Mini DisplayPort and the adapter outputs the video signal via HDMI® with a resolution of up to 1920x1200@60 Hz. This enables you to use older screens, projectors or even TV on your Mini DisplayPort.
So where is all the weight? Some interfaces are left behind where others are being used in their micro or mini standard. This adapter helps connecting a device with Display port interface to any other HDMI® supported device.
The input is given by a mini DisplayPort. Especially common on a MacBook Air®, this connection has been established because Apple has designed it. Anyone who has such a MacBook could benefit from this adapter thoroughly.
The HDMI® connector can connect the MacBook® with a beamer / projector or another monitor. Since HDMI® is a modern and very common, a resolution of up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz is possible.
