Best Answer:Mini DisplayPort uses the same connector as Thunderbolt.
You can plug it into the Thunderbolt port on the right hand side of your MacBook Air which can be used as a mini DisplayPort as well.- Answered by Freddy W

Will this fix HDCP issues on 1080p projector
Scenario:
iMac 21.5 late 2009 full HD screen
I have a new HDCP compliant BenQ w1050 1080p projector connected via a MDP to HDMI adapter and both Amazon and Netflix consider the HDCP to be incomplete and will not stream HDCP content in HD. They will however do non-HDCP content in HD so it is possible to receive HD and also without an external device connected the HDCP content streams in HD.
I am aware that HDCP is mostly films and that I obviously have a break in the protocol but will this Belkin adapter resolve it? Clearly my cheap one will not but it may not be at fault... I do not know.
Help appreciated.
thanks

The specs indicate that the audio will transfer to hdmi device if using a mid 2012 (or later) MacBook. Will it also work with an iMac (late 2012)?
I need to connect iMac computers (late 2012 models) to Smartboards via HDMI cable. The audio seems to work with older iMacs with 10.8.3 using the hdmi adapter that I have (not Belkin) but not with the newer iMacs running the 10.8.3 or higher.

Does this allow you to connect a Mid 2014 MacBook Pro to a 4K Display and get 60Hz refresh rate?
I want to use the DisplayPort plug in the Thunderbolt output on a 15" 2014 rMacBook Pro, and connect the HDMI to the 4K Display. It would be nice to know if this configuration will support 60Hz Refresh rate, because 30Hz doesn't work so well when you're trying to edit video.
