The Mac Media Center just got easier
If you are like me and avoid the high costs of Directv, DISH, Comcast and the rest, then you are always looking for the best way to incorporate your Mac Mini or MacBook into your Home Theater.
Well it just got a lot easier. Kanex has announced their new HD audio/video adapter that is a perfect fit for Apple’s current lineup and your home theater gear. It’s the Kanex Mini DisplayPort Adapter To HDMI 1080p Video w/ Digital Audio. Could the name BE any longer?
At $60 retail, this is the first reasonably priced adapter to combine the Mac’s usually separate digital audio and digital video into a standard HDMI port, which makes it perfect for anyone with a MacBook, MacBook Pro, or Mac Mini and an HDTV with HDMI inputs. Here’s what Kanex says about their product.
With audio limitation from Mini Displayport we’ve combined Apple® Mini Jack digital audio output with Mini DisplayPort digital video output into a single HDMI output solution to bring a true audio video expreience with full HD 1080p video and full digital audio 5.1 support. Powered by USB so no external power source is needed.
So there you go. In your home or away, you can now easily turn your modern Mac into a portable media player with HDTV capabilities. Pretty Cool!
