Mini DisplayPort to DVI, that’s easy. But what if you need to go the opposite way? You long to connect your DVI graphics card to that alluring Cinema Display’s Mini DisplayPort input. “Impossible!” you cry. It was. Until now.
• OK, so the reality of the situation might not be that exciting. All the Atlona DVI to Mini DisplayPort does is, well, convert a DVI signal to Mini DisplayPort. It’s the first converter to accomplish the feat, though. For some users, especially laptop owners stuck with DVI out in their chassis, that’s probably a big deal. Other than that, there’s not much to write about. The converter supports resolutions up to 1920×1200, and it maintains HDCP information through the conversion. Hopefully that means there won’t be any lockout issues now that iTunes is an HDCP curmudgeon. The fact that it’s the first makes it pricey, but if it does what you need it to, you can grab the converter from Atlona for $179. [Press Release via Engadget]
