A NewerTech Adapter for Better Mac Mini Performance

NewerTech announces the HDMI Headless Video Accelerator-- an adapter fitting in Mac mini HDMI ports allowing customers to create "headless" Mac minis for as storage and media servers.

Being small and portable the Mac mini often finds use as a "headless" networking, storage, production studio media and home theater servers with no monitor, keyboard or mouse. However a Mac mini without a monitor fails to use the GPU, leading to slowdown and stuttering performance.

“In the past, when using the Mac mini as a server, the best option was just to grin and bear the slow video performance whenever you needed to remotely access your mini, which is an entirely inadequate experience,” NewerTech says. “With the HDMI Headless Video Accelerator, the Mac mini thinks there is a display attached, so you’re back to the 100% silky smooth OS X experience you know and love.”

The HDMI Headless Video Accelerator is compatible with the Mac mini Mid 2010 (Macmini4,1), Mac mini Mid 2011 (Macmini5,1 / Macmini5,2 / Macmini5,3), Mac mini Late 2012 (Macmini6,1 / Macmini6,2) and Mac mini Late 2014 (Macmini7,1), and works with OS X 10.6.8 and later. It requires no drivers and is available now.
