Kanex iAdapt Mini DisplayPort / Thunderbolt to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support for Apple MacBook, iMac, Mac mini, Microsoft Surface Pro3

*Updated* This item works as stated! If you have a Macbook pro all you do is connect it to the computer's mini display port, connect a hdmi cable (separate cable that you must buy in order to use this) and then plug the hdmi cable into your tv's hdmi input port. The macbook should automatically start sending video and audio feed (Plug and Play!). If there is no audio, simply go to the system settings menu, select "sound" then choose your tv as the sound output device and that should fix the problem! If you cant see your computer screen on the tv, don't panic! because if you see your laptops background it works. In order to see your open windows and other applications, drag the application task pane to the right of your macbook screen until you go off the page, you should then see the window being dragged onto your tv. This is a really cool feature that lets you multitask with two screens. This is called a mirrored feature. If you would like to see your dock for full emulation, then in "displays", select "arrangement" on the top and select the checkbox for "mirror displays". If part of your screen is cut off, go to the "displays" in system settings and on the right there is a slider control called under scan. Manipulate it to your liking and it will adjust the screen size. In the same displays menu, you can choose your output resolution all the way up to 1080p but you can play around with the resolution to see which one suits your liking. You can also have a video playing on the tv that you dragged over there while you check your email on your actual macbook pro's screen. With this device you can also decrease your laptops brightness to fully black and the video output's visibility will be unaffected so you can save your computer's energy. Overall, this device is definitely worth it. Great Product and I hope this review helps!

This is a neat little product. Observation: Kanex products are carried by apple stores with substantial markups. This device is an alternative to having a cable that converts Mini DisplayPort to an HDMI cable directly. Motivation: The "Mini DisplayPort To HDMI" cable option is $49.00 at the apple store. I bought this "adapter" for less than $20.00 on Amazon. I had a spare HDMI cable to use; if you dont, one from "Amazon Basic" store is available for $7.99 Essentially you can have a working solution to watch content from MAC (or a device that carries a Mini Display Port) to TV with HDMI support for less than $30. In my case it was less than $20.00 :) Review: The Video pass through is crisp and clear. I have a Mac Book Pro from Early 2008, hence there is no Audio Pass through support. This fact is noted on the product packaging. The product supports Audio pass through for Late 2010 Mac Book, Late 2010 Mac Book Pro and Late 2010 Mac Book Air. Conclusion: Very convenient, easy to use adapter that gets the job done for a reasonable cost. The product description on Amazon is imcomplete or missing. Since I was not able to test the audio part, I conclude the review for this product with 4 stars.

I thought it was a strange decision for Apple to switch to a mini DisplayPort output on the unibody MacBook Pros, instead of HDMI video output, but this adapter remedies Apple's decision (as long as you have a MacBook Pro from 2010 or later). Before 2010, the Apple did not include audio in the mini DisplayPort output. If you have MacBook Pro from 2009 that has a mini DisplayPort output, you'll need this adapter or this adapter for 5.1 channel digital audio . For 2010 MacBook Pros and later, the Kanex iAdapt works great. When I set mine up, the Mac automatically detected my TV. I had to make a slight adjustment in System Preferences under Display to get the display the correct size, but that just took a few seconds. For sound, you need to go to sound under System Preferences and click on Output and select your TV. Then it works perfectly. Thank you Kanex for making an affordable adapter that makes using the mini DisplayPort and an HDMI cable a piece of cake.

This is essentially the same review I just left for "Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter Cable, 6 feet" which I just paid $8.67 for. I plugged this neat little adapter into my new MacBook Pro (late 2011 model) and into my new "AmazonBasics High-Speed HDMI Cable" and then into one of my Pioneer Elite TV's HDMI ports. I tested it with a DVD movie and also with a home movie on the Mac. I had to go to System Preferences, Sound to select the Pioneer as my audio output device the first time only and had to choose Display Mirroring and it worked perfectly -- video and audio. Not a single problem. I'm not sure if Mirroring is the only way to get it to work, but that's what works for me. By the way, I was surprised that every subsequent time, the Mac always recognized the TV as my audio output whenever the cable was plugged into it. This is a high quality, well-made adapter and does all that it says on the box.

Works Great

Does the job

Funciona correctamente en un macbook pro early 2011 permitiendo transmitir video a un monitor con entrada HDMI de tres maneras posibles: - Espejeo de la imagen principal utilizando la resolución del equipo - Espejeo de la imagen principal utilizando la resolución del segundo monitor - Extensión del escritorio hacia el segundo monitor Además transmite sin contratiempos el audio producido por el equipo directamente a las bocinas del segundo monitor. Viene perfectamente empacado aunque para ahorrar espacio el cable viene doblado de una manera bastante forzada sobre el punto que podríamos considerar la parte más delicada del adaptador, la unión entre cable y conector, hasta el momento funciona sin problemas, cualquier cambio se notificará en este medio. Por ahora, totalmente recomendable

Di costruzione solida, fa quello per cui è stato pagato. Probabilmente sarà necessario effettuare una calibrazione della tv/monitor al fine di ottenere la migliore qualità dell'immagine possibile, ma ne vale certamente la pena. Supporta l'audio, previa attivazione dell'audio hdmi dal pannello preferenze/suono. Un precendete adattatore cablesson che avevo comprato sempre su amazon non ha funzionato una volta e molti sono gli utenti che hanno avuto lo stesso problema. Vista l'esigua differenza di prezzo tra i due, direi di comprare direttamente questo prodotto

Parfait. Enfin un adaptateur qui tient ses promesses. Facile d utilisation, je peux enfin regarder mes videos depuis mon macbook sur ma tele.
