I use vMix on my PC and now I want to buy a PC to use the AJA 4K but I am worring if the device can connect over mini D.P cause I don't want to buy a laptop over US$800. Is it possible? Thanks

What AJA 4k device? Purchase of laptop or PC? I guess the point is, what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Ice

Display port is carried as part of Thunder 1 and 2, however display port is not thunderbolt. If you have any questions about AJA hardware feel free to email or call AJA at anytime. We are happy to answer questions! sales@aja.com or try +1-530-274-2048 Thanks, Eric AJA Video Systems
