HDMI HDMI Port
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an
uncompressed all-digital audio/video interface between
any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player,
and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such
as a digital television (DTV). Supports standard, enhanced,
or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio
on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and
supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare
to accommodate future enhancements or requirements.

Mini DisplayPort/ Thunderbolt Port (varies by model)
This 20-pin connector is used either as a Mini DisplayPort
(mDP) or Thunderbolt port, depending on the model. The
mDP is a compact version of the DisplayPort digital audio-
visual interface that supports visual devices with VGA, DVI,
or HDMI. Thunderbolt is based on Mini DisplayPort with PCI
Express lanes included for driving any interconnect, such as
USB.

Display (Monitor) Output
The 15-pin D-sub monitor port supports a standard
VGA-compatible device such as a monitor or projector to
allow viewing on a larger external display.

LAN Port
The RJ-45 LAN port with eight pins is larger than the RJ-11
modem port and supports a standard Ethernet cable for
connection to a local network. The built-in connector allows
convenient use without additional adapters.
