Adapter Kit Video
Nowadays, HDMI is the industry standard when it comes to video cabling. This hasn't always been the case. There used to be many different types of connections. The process of gradually introducing new connections that can manage higher resolutions has been going on for years. Despite the fact that all display devices are equipped with HDMI connections, you are already starting to see that laptops, for example, have already stopped providing an HDMI connection. Why is that? Because manufacturers are trying to make laptops flatter and flatter, to the point that there is simply no more space for an HDMI connection. So what now? They make use of other types of connections, such as mini HDMI or USB C which will require an adapter.
By renting this video adapter kit you will be sure to have at least the most common video adapter cables and converter for converting your signal to HDMI. You can easily connect both your old or your brand-new laptop without any issues. But which adapters are included in this kit, exactly?
Apple Mini DisplayPort
You'll find this connection on older
Apple MacBooks. Apple loves to do its own thing and doesn’t like to go along with new developments and connections, so you'll always need an extra adapter to connect common products like TVs and projectors. This adapter has a Mini DisplayPort / ThunderBolt 2 connector on one side. On the other side is a female HDMI connector. This adapter supports resolutions ofup to 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz.
Mini HDMI
This video connection needs little explanation. This is simply the common HDMI connection’s little brother. The only difference is the size- even the shape is the same. This adapter has a male mini HDMI connector on one side and a female HDMI connector on the other. The maximum resolution of this adapter is 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz.
USB-C Adapter
A new kind of connection that's going to take over the world. Almost all new MacBooks and laptops will be equipped with it. This will become the new standard for transferring large amounts of data at high speed. This adapter has a male USB-C connection on one side and a female HDMI connection on the other. This maximum resolution is 4096 x 2160 at 30Hz.
VGA Converter
This connection can only be found on older laptops. This is the only analog connection which is still commonly used. That’s why power is needed to convert it to a digital signal. In fact, this isn’t an adapter but a converter. It converts VGA to HDMI, but only if you connect the converter to the mains. The maximum resolution of this converter is 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz.
DisplayPort Adapter
Do not confuse DisplayPort with an HDMI connection. These two connections are very similar. The only visual difference is that DisplayPort has a straight side and is therefore asymmetrical. If you don't look closely, you might think that this is an HDMI port. Be careful! This adapter supports a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz.
