Cable adapter PNY mDP to DVI-D Single Link QSP-MINIDP/DVIV3 — Mini DisplayPort (mDP) male to DVI-D female

PNY QSP-MINIDP/DVIV3 is a passive cable adapter that converts a Mini DisplayPort (mDP) video output to a DVI-D Single Link input. It allows devices with mDP outputs — such as laptops and graphics cards — to connect to DVI-D displays, monitors or projectors for digital video transmission. The adapter is compact and lightweight, designed for simple plug-and-play use and convenient transport.

Advantages

The adapter provides a straightforward, passive conversion from mDP to DVI-D Single Link without requiring external power or drivers. Its compact form factor makes it easy to carry with a laptop or in a media kit, and the durable connector housings ensure a stable physical connection. Because it uses a direct signal path, the adapter maintains digital video quality up to DVI Single Link limits and eliminates the need for a bulky cable when adapters are preferred.

Suitable for

• Connecting laptops with Mini DisplayPort output to DVI-D monitors
• Using a graphics card mDP output with a DVI-D display or projector
• Office or classroom setups where digital video (no audio) is required
• Mobile presentations and travel where a compact adapter is needed

Key specifications

• Connector type (input): Mini DisplayPort (mDP) male
• Connector type (output): DVI-D Single Link female
• Signal type: Digital video (DVI-D single-link)
• Audio support: None (video only)
• Form factor: Passive adapter, no external power required
• Compatibility: Devices with Mini DisplayPort output to DVI-D displays
• Construction: Compact, lightweight adapter housing

How to use

Insert the Mini DisplayPort male connector into the mDP output on your laptop or graphics card. Connect a DVI-D cable from the DVI-D display or projector to the DVI-D female socket on the adapter. Power on both source and display devices; the display should detect the incoming digital signal automatically. Adjust display settings on the source device as needed to select resolution and scaling compatible with DVI-D single-link limits.

Recommendations

Use appropriate DVI-D cables rated for your desired resolution and length, and avoid attempting to transmit audio through this adapter since it supports video only. For resolutions beyond single-link DVI capability or if audio is required, consider active converters or interfaces that support higher bandwidth and audio transmission.
