What is the purpose of a Mini Display Port?

The purpose of a Mini Display Port is to provide a miniaturized version of a digital audio-visual interface. This technology allows for the transmission of both high-definition video and audio data, making it ideal for connecting an Apple computer to external monitors, projectors, and other high-resolution displays. Mini Display Port is particularly beneficial due to its compact size, supporting high-performance video formats and multi-channel audio, enabling seamless integration in devices where space is limited.

While the Mini Display Port can facilitate high display resolutions and enhance the user experience in video editing, these functions stem from its primary role in audio-visual data transmission, rather than being its primary purpose.
