Atlona Technologies AT-MDP12 is a 1 input to 2 outputs Mini DisplayPort splitter designed to allows any single
Mini DisplayPort enabled computer (such as MacBook Pro, MacPro, Air, MacMini and so on) the ability to be
displayed on two Mini DisplayPort monitors simultaneously. Most common monitors are Apple 24” LED and
Apple iMac 27”, the splitter will also work with DisplayPort monitors (Dell, HP and others); however a Mini
DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter will be required, Atlona makes such an adapter as well. This unit supports
video resolution up to 2560 x 1600 and PCM audio up to 7.1. Audio can also be bypassed through the unit’s
USB connection, the same USB is used to power the splitter. With four sets of EDID formats, the AT-MDP12
provides a fast switch between source and display and saves the EDID’s reading sink time to allow image to be
displayed properly.
