Apogee showed off a pair of Display Port to HDMI converters at NAB, both under $65. DVinfo’s got the scoop.

“The iAdapt 5.1 takes video from the Apple’s mini-display port and gets 5.1 channel surround audio using Toslink coming from the audio mini-jack. Both signals are then sent out over a single HDMI cable to any HDMI capable monitor. The iAdapt 2.0 has the same video capability, but only takes 2 channel analog audio from the Apple’s mini-jack USB.”

The $65 iAdapt 5.1 requires a DisplayPort, USB, and Mini-TOSLINK connection. It then merges all those signals into a single HDMI signal for simple connection to your display of choice (as HDMI can carry audio). Power is provided by the USB connection. The $50 iAdapt 2.0 plugs into your DisplayPort and USB. Analog stereo audio is streamed over the USB connection and the A/V signals are merged into HDMI. Looks like a handy A/V connection option, and you can’t complain about the price point!
