A.2. There is no other product I could find the market that did the job that this particular product of your did very well.
A.3. Liked everything.
A.4. There was no tracking number once the product shipped so that was a little suspense as it took a little longer for the product to arrive. There should be some phone support as well, not just web form to submit inquiry and support.

I loved it. The image and sound quality over HDMI port is perfect. I just bought this accessory because my MacBook Pro is late-2009 and it has no audio output through HDMI. Tough the iAdapt 5.1 is more expansive than the others adapters, I really recommend it to everybody who has a MacBook Pro without audio output thru HDMI.

Mac Mini connected to a Mitsubishi 65" DLP HDTV via a Denon A/V Receiver
The Kanex connector works flawlessly, converting the digital audio out and mini Display port to a single HDMI feed into the Denon Receiver.
There are some minor 'overscan' issues, where the screen is slightly larger than the viewable area on the DLP set, but these can be corrected by adjusting the horiz/vertical settings on the Mitsubishi itself. This is coming from Mac OSX and not from the connector.
No complaints here! A product that works great, just as advertised! Highly recommended!

I originally used this adapter with a late 2009 Mac Mini, and now use it with the new aluminum body mini. In each case the mini functions as a media server and is connected to an HDTV through a Panasonic receiver. I mostly run Plex to deliver content. Without the adapter the mini constantly reverts to onboard audio and "loses" the display settings as the receiver is turned on or off. With the adapter the mini works perfectly, constantly holding the audio and video settings.
Before i bought this adapter i found the set-up was a constant annoyance, requiring frequent attention to make it all work as it should. Since adding the iAdapt 51, the entire set-up just plain works, with no input from me.

Worked as advertised without any problem (sound and video) from Mac OSX 10.6 with just one HDMI cable to the Sony Receiver.
However, it cannot play protected original BluRay. You need to work under Bootcamp, Windows XP (or other) and absolutely add AnyDVD to remove the protection of perfectly legally bought BluRay disks. Then you do no longer get the error message. I had secretly hoped this adapter would resolve that problem. The problem is the display output which is not HDCP compatible. But maybe this a mac problem after all?

I'm using the Kanex iAdapt 51 to connect a Mac Mini (last pre-unibody model) to a large LCD television (1080p). I use the Mac Mini as a home theater system, primarily running Boxee. The picture quality and sound are excellent, I'm able to flawlessly display HD content at the native resolution of my television. This cable is the nerve center of my home theater, I bought it and waited for it to arrive before I even got the Mac Mini. I hoped it would be an elegant way to build a home theater without multiple adapters, a tuner, or any other equipment to handle the combination of sound and video, and I haven't been disappointed. Thanks to Kanex, I was able to build exactly the system I'd imagined.
The only very small oddity I noticed was that I had to change the screen resolution before the sound would work, but only when first connecting the unit. That's five minutes of trial and error up front, and hours and hours of enjoyment, so it's definitely five stars in my book.

I bought this adapter to allow me to view ripped DVD files on my HDTV. The computer is about twenty feet away from the TV, so I ran an HDMI patch cable under the floor and terminated it with two nice HDMI wall plates. I use a 2009 MacBook Pro to the Kanex adapter to a short HDMI cable to the wall plate, then the other wall plate HDMI port runs to a Denon AVR1910 receiver to a Samsung 46" LED TV.
The setup is very easy and pretty clean, though it would be nice if the Kanex adapter were just a little more compact. On my computer, all three of the needed ports (audio, USB, and mini DisplayPort) are within a two inches of each other, so to have a lot of cable running to the adapter seems a little much, but other computers might need more play in the cables.
It's a great way to get an HD picture out to your TV. I look forward to putting a Mac Mini with built-in HDMI down with my receiver eventually, but until then, this is a great way to go.

I use a 2009 15" Macbook Pro 2.8 Ghz. I use this product for a few different tasks. The main use of the product is for plugging in to various HDTVs, from my 46" Samsung OLED to a smaller Panasonic Viera 27" LCD. The colour, picture and sound are amazing. Setup is quick and easy and I've never had a problem with it. I don't use it to mirror the screen, just as an extension to the screen. On the TVs, I watch all types of media including high-definition Blu Ray disc rips and the picture never stutters or slows down like it has with other devices. I also sometimes connect my computer to monitors to use in a dual screen setup, like when using Photoshop or a few music DAWs. Again, there are only glowing things to say about this. Pros are that it works every single time with no issue whatsoever. Cons, of which don't know if they can be helped: slight overscan on tvs with FULL aspect selected so edges aren't always visible. Native leaves the screen with black bars around all sides. Also, the lack of driver support, so I cannot connect the Kanex device to any monitors when using Bootcamp running Windows XP, which would be incredibly nice to have.

Service in purchasing was good.

The product is used to connect my Mac Book Pro to the HDMI input of our TV and get audio as well as video output. It works fine. Of course, a few months after I bought this, I see that you've come out with a unit with a single cable (instead of three) that does the same thing.
Thanks.

1. Macbook Pro 17" baught at the end of last year
2. VLC to play some HD video files on my Sony KDL 40HX700
3. Pros: Nice to have the bundled video + sound using only one hdmi cable to connect to the tv
Cons: displayport, sound and usb cables are too long...

Macbook Pro (2nd gen) connecting to Sony & Panasonic LCD TV's.
use it for viewing pictures and videos from our digital camera.
overall, easy to use and setup.
ONLY issue is that occasionally the HDMI connector seems to either overheat OR flexes from the cable which causes the unit to stop working.

1. I use the adapter to connect my new MacBook Pro to my HDTV through my receiver to either watch movies (downloaded to my NAS) or stream music through FrontRow. Occasionally I will use my TV as a secondary monitor as well.
2. It is simple and just worked. No issues so far which is what I expect.
3. Price is a little more than I would have liked to pay. Would like 7.1 audio if there weren't any other hardware limitations.
4. All-in-all, I am happy with the product and have recommended it to others after buying it on a recommendation from a friend.

First I used it with my Mac Mini later with my Macbook Pro Unibody.
Works great. Only wished the cables were shorted and the box a little bit more solid made.
But it does the job well !

Macbook Pro 2010
Mostly using it with iPhoto and iMovie. I have a VIZIO 22" HDTV at present and plan on getting a 38" HDTY soon.
So far so good. Possibility that a heavier duty cable and connectors would be beneficial.
This is the second set I have had. I am concerned that if I don't follow the connection directions exactly I will have problems! Would like to feel reassured that this is not required.

Interface to Panasonic HDTV via HDMI
It workswell but the plastic body is weak. The plastic female pegs broke, and the body separated, so I had to wrap duct tape around it to hold the structure together.

1. Apple MacBook Pro 17" 2009
2. Watching movies through VLC on a TV
3. Cons : HD movies are sometimes lagging through the adaptor, especially when movies show scene traveling. When I use directly the computer, I've no problem with the same movie. Does conversion imply a delay so that movie traveling could lag ?
Pros : Good sound quality, all-in-one product.

I was using this with my 2009, 21.5" iMac. It was set up connected to my Yamaha receiver and then out to my projector in my living room. This setup was so sweet, when it was first set up, i was so excited to get it all up and running. But then, after a month or so, the adapter decided to stop working once in a while. and then it would work, and then it would not work, so, Kanex let me return it for a refund, and buy a new one.
well, all was good at first once again.. but then it happened all over again. I would not recommend this product, however if you do decide to try it out, Kanex customer service was very accommodating and did what they had to to please me, the consumer.
Would give 1 star, but gave an extra star for good customer service.

I intended to use this with a Macbook Pro on the theory that it would provide 5.1 audio capabilities from the Macbook via a USB-Audio adapter. Unfortunately, it uses the USB only to power the device and requires separate audio and video connections to the MacBook in addition to the USB.
My search continues for a good audio+video USB+mini-display port to HDMI adapter.
I returned this less than useful product.

I sent this product back because it did not work properly. I suggest you fully document compatible devices, especially televisions.

This was the wrong product (really made for the newer MacBooks) but getting the exchange done was next to impossible. Several complaints and claims made thru Paypal and Amex were the only way to get some attention and have the problem finally resolved.
