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:
- The USB C output port must support DP1.4 ALT compliant to get 4K @ 60Hz or DP1.2 for 4K@30Hz.
- 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?
No drivers are required. This adapter is plug-and-play, so once connected, your display should be recognized automatically.
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.
