Raspberry Pi400 micro HDMI to Studio Display using Thunderbolt?

[rtjstevens]

Yes, I do have a new M2 MacMiniPro hooked up but I wondered if my Rpi400 could be connected (easily and cheaply) to the ASD?

Thanks,

You can try using an HDMI to USB-C (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) converter.

The Studio Display accepts video input over Thunderbolt and USB-C (DisplayPort Alternate Mode).

Thanks Amethyst; I'll research it.

Hi, again, unfortunately, I will need a micro-HDMI (in the RPI) to Thunderbolt, (Not a mico-USB to Tb).

Thanks anyway.

(With various cables etc). Thanks.

The adapter I linked to goes from HDMI (input) to USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode (output). The micro-USB connection is just for supplying power to the adapter (being an "active" adapter, it needs power). Adapters or cables from micro-HDMI to full-size HDMI are easy to find.

You don't need a HDMI to Thunderbolt adapter (I don't think such an adapter exists in the first place). You just need HDMI to USB-C. The Studio Display accepts video input via Thunderbolt and USB-C, but you'll have to use its Thunderbolt port in both cases. So, to use the display with the RPi, you'll have to disconnect your Mac or look into a switch (see this thread).

No. This is the opposite of what you need: it takes a USB-C input and provides an HDMI output.

...of course...many thanks.

@rtjstevens did you get this working?

Hi Pilot, no, I must admit I've been away in France for some time and forgot all about it...(!).

Thanks for the reminder!
