The Kanex HDMI to Mini DisplayPort Converter basically does as it says – it allows users to hook up virtually any HDMI source device into a 27″ iMac, an LED Cinema Display or virtually any other Apple device which sports an mDP input (which includes sources like a PS3, Xbox 360 or Blu-ray player). HDMI 1.3 and DisplayPort/Mini DisplayPort 1.1a are supported, although assured limits do apply, depending on the source of your choice. It has a maximum resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 for standard DVI, while consoles are purportedly limited to sending native 720p. Expect the Kanex adapter to ship that April for $150, where it will be accompanied by the adapter itself and a 3-foot mDP cable.

VESA has recently updated the Embedded DisplayPort Standard to Version 1.1a while drawing up requirements for the Video Interface to the LCD Panel in notebooks as well as various embedded applications.

eDP version 1.1a includes further definition on display authentication for protected video composition, addresses Sink device AUX channel interrupt requests, and makes enhancements to the 4-lane connector used for 3D display applications. eDP is based on the VESA DisplayPort 1.1a Standard. The DisplayPort Standard is oriented toward external applications with emphasis on interoperability amidst system vendors and interconnection cables. Newer PC chipsets and GPUs designed for notebook PCs support both DisplayPort and eDP from the same video port connections, enabling configuration options to the system integrator.

If you’re interested in the Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) Standard, that is available free of charge here. [Press Release]
