Accell B086B-005B-2 mDP to HDMI Adapter
DESCRIPTION
Establish a connection between your Mini DisplayPort device and an HDMI display.
Using an adapter such as the UltraAV Mini DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 1.4 passive adapter, a computer that supports Mini DisplayPort can connect to a monitor that also supports HDMI. Simply connect the Mini DisplayPort end of the connector to your computer, and then plug the adapter into the display using the HDMI cable you already have running from the monitor. The adapter facilitates a simple plug-and-play configuration by transparently converting the video signal coming from DisplayPort into an HDMI stream. Completely compatible with DisplayPort 1.1 in addition to being backward compatible with DisplayPort 1.2.

CONNECTIONS
The following is a list of the actions that need to be taken in order to connect the Accell B086B-005B-2 mDP to HDMI adapter:
-
Make Sure Everything Is Compatible:
Be sure that your source device (HDTV, monitor, or projector) has an available HDMI input and that your source device (laptop, PC, etc.) has a Mini DisplayPort output. -
Turn Off All Electronic Devices:
Turn off the device that is serving as the source as well as the display that will be the target before beginning the process of connecting the devices. -
Place the mDP Connector in its Slot:
Connect the male end of the adapter that has a Mini DisplayPort connector to the Mini DisplayPort output on the device that is serving as your source. -
Put the HDMI Cable in Place:
Establish a connection between the adapter’s HDMI female connector and one end of an HDMI cable. The HDMI cable will have the other end attached to the input port on the target display that is designated for HDMI signals. -
Turn On Your Electronics:
Turn on the display you want to use as a target (HDTV, monitor, or projector), and then navigate its input settings to the correct HDMI source. After that, start the device that will be used as the source (laptop or PC). -
Check the Settings for the Display:
It’s possible that you’ll need to alter your display settings in order to get the right output on the external display, and this will depend on the operating system you’re using (Windows, macOS, etc.). When using Windows, the standard method for accomplishing this is to right-click anywhere on the desktop, and then pick “Display Settings.” To adjust your display settings in macOS, navigate to “System Preferences” > “Displays.” -
Ensure There Is a Connection:
After you have connected everything and set everything, you should be able to view the display of the source device on the display of the target device. If nothing is showing up on the screen, check the connections and the settings for the display again. -
Audio (if it’s necessary):
If the source device for your Mini DisplayPort connection is capable of sending audio data through the Mini DisplayPort connection, the adapter should also send audio data. However, in order to route audio over the Mini DisplayPort, you may need to alter the settings for the audio on the device that is serving as the source.
PRECAUTIONS
It is imperative to take the necessary precautions before using the Accell B086B-005B-2 Mini DisplayPort (mDP) to HDMI converter or any other adapter of a similar nature. This will guarantee that the adapter functions correctly, avoid any damage, and keep you safe.
Take into consideration the following safety measures:
-
To be compatible with:
Check to see that your source device (computer, laptop, etc.) has a Mini DisplayPort output, and that the display you intend to connect it to (HDTV, monitor, projector) has an HDMI input. If you use the adapter with a device that it is not compatible with, you risk faulty connections and problems with the adapter’s operation. -
Careful Manipulation:
Take special care when handling the adapter. When plugging in or unplugging the connections, you should avoid exerting an excessive amount of force so that you do not harm the adapter, the ports, or the devices. -
Steer clear of bending:
Avoid sharply bending either the adapter or its cord at any point. Bending can put stress on the wires and connectors, which could eventually result in the cables becoming frayed or in problems with the connections. -
Safe and Sound Connections:
Check to see that the adapter and the HDMI cable are connected correctly on both ends of the cable. Display output may be intermittent or completely absent if the connections are not secure. -
Correct Stockpiling:
When not in use, the adapter should be kept in a spot that is both secure and dry. It is important to refrain from placing heavy objects on top of it because doing so can cause the cable or connectors to become damaged. -
The temperature, as well as the ventilation:
Always make sure there is adequate ventilation in the area where the adapter is located, and keep it away from any sources of heat. The adapter and its cables’ functionality can be negatively impacted when exposed to excessive heat. -
Administration of Cables:
It is important to keep the cable from getting twisted or tangled. The proper management of cables can help prevent damage to the cables themselves and provide a clean setup. -
Removal Without Harm:
When you want to disconnect the adapter, you should make sure to draw it out of the Mini DisplayPort and HDMI ports in a straight line. It is important to avoid jerking or twisting the adapter in any way, since this could cause damage to the ports or the adapter itself. -
Security in Electrical Systems:
Before connecting or removing the adapter, check to be that both the device that is serving as the source and the display that is the target are switched off. This helps prevent electrical shorts or harm that could potentially be caused to the gadgets that are linked. -
Housekeeping:
If it’s necessary, use a dry, microfiber towel to wipe down the adapter and the connectors. You should avoid using liquids or products that are abrasive since they could potentially damage the connectors. -
Updates to the Firmware and Drivers:
whether you are having problems with compatibility or operation, it is extremely important that you check to see whether there are any firmware upgrades or driver updates available for the adapter. -
Controlling the Power:
In order for the external display to work properly with some computers, you might need to change the power settings on the laptop. Check the power settings on your laptop and make any necessary adjustments to them. -
Instructions for the Manufacturer:
Always refer to the user manual or guidelines provided by the adapter’s manufacturer for particular advice and precautions to take. These documents may be found in the adapter’s packaging.
