Apple’s Mini DisplayPort gets VESA stamp of approval

November 10th, 2009 | Category: Gadget Corner

We already knew that Apple’s homegrown Mini DisplayPort connector was being baked into the DisplayPort 1.2 specifications, but now said socket has even more validity in the marketplace thanks to a ringing endorsement from the Video Electronics Standards organization (VESA). As of now, the diminutive connector has managed to comply with all of the signaling and protocol capabilities defined in the DisplayPort Standard Version 1, Revision 1a, and we’re told that DisplayPort 1.2 — which incorporates mDP and doubles available bandwidth to 21.6Gb/second — is nearing finalization. Looks like we can finally look

forward to seeing products take advantage of that socket aside from those Designed In California (and copied shamelessly in the outskirts of Shenzhen).
