Glossary

The Mobility DisplayPort, also known as MyDP or SlimPort, was released by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) in June 2012.

MyDP is an extension of the DisplayPort connectivity standard. It enables mobile devices to output HD video, audio, and 3D content to external screens over the existing format of a microUSB port, which is the prevalent connectivity port on mobile devices.

MyDP supports uncompressed video up to 1080p60 or 1080p30 with 3D content over HDMI 1.4 (up to 5.4 Gbps of bandwidth) and also supports DisplayPort, DVI and VGA connections.

MyDP-to-HDMI adapters exist as well.
