FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions – USB-C to Mini DisplayPort Adapter

 I connected the adapter but no image on my Monitor.
  • There are several different reasons why video is not showing
  • Your Monitor is the Thunderbolt version of Apple Cinema Display. You can check my finding the small icon on the white cable coming from your monitor. If showing a small Thunderbolt our adapter will not work, if showing a small square with two lines on the side our adapter will work as expected because your monitor is the Mini DisplayPort version of the Apple Cinema Display.
    Please make sure your apple monitor is connected to power and operational.
Why I can not control the brightness, Audio, and the iSight Camera on my Apple Cinema Display?
  • You must connect the USB-A Cable from your Apple Cinema Display to your Laptop to be able to control brightness, audio, and iSight Camera.
I am only getting 4K 30Hz when using the UPTab Adapter. How can I get 4K @ 60Hz?
  • There are several different reasons why a 4K display would be limited to 4K 30Hz using our adapter. We would recommend first checking:
  1. The USB C output port must support  DP1.4 ALT compliant to get 4K @ 60Hz or DP1.2 for 4K@30Hz.
  2. System specifications to ensure that the internal graphics processor can support 4K @ 60Hz and that the output port on the system/GPU can support 4K @ 60Hz.
Is this adapter compatible with MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Pro, and other USB-C devices?

Yes, it works with USB-C and Thunderbolt 3/4 devices such as MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Pro, Mac Mini, iMac, and many Windows laptops that support video output via USB-C.

Do I need to install drivers or software for this adapter to work?

Compatible with Apple Cinema Display 30”

Successfully connects a modern USB-C MacBook Pro to the 30” Apple Cinema Display (2560×1600) if using the genuine Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter. Maintains full resolution and stable signal with no flicker or artifacts. Unlike many USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapters, this one properly supports the legacy DisplayPort 1.1/1.2 timing required by the Apple Dual-Link adapter. NOTE: The StarTech USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter (model CDP2MDPEC), while similar in spec, did not work in this setup. External USB power (5V 2A or higher) must be supplied to the Dual-Link adapter for the system to function. Confirmed working with macOS Sequoia 15.5 on Apple Silicon.

Works well with 5th-generation iPad Air

The adapter works fine with my 5th-generation iPad Air and a 24" Apple LED Cinema Display. It turned the older display into a nice setup for easier editing of my travel videos.

Comparison of Apple LED Cinema Display and Apple Thunderbolt Display connectors on a white background.

Cinema Displays

Apple made two very similar-looking Cinema Displays, but you can tell them apart by the connector logo on the white cable:

  • Apple Thunderbolt Cinema Display – The connector shows a lightning bolt symbol (⚡).
  • Apple LED Cinema Display (Mini DisplayPort) – The connector shows the Mini DisplayPort logo (a square with two vertical lines on each side).

Checking this small logo on the cable is the easiest way to distinguish between the two models.
