ATEN VC981 4K Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Active Adapter
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ATEN VC981 4K Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Active Adapter - 2 Years Local Warranty
4K from Mini DisplayPort to HDMI
The VC981 converts Mini DisplayPort to HDMI at up to 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz, or 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz, for 4K TVs, monitors and projectors.
Active Conversion for Multi-Display Setups
As an active adapter it works whether or not the source supports dual-mode DisplayPort (DP++), and it is compatible with AMD Eyefinity multi-display configurations.
Audio Included
Audio is carried to the HDMI display, so TV and monitor speakers work without a separate cable.
Plug-and-Play, Shielded
No drivers needed. Internal copper foil shielding helps protect signal quality.
