  Don't drink the kool-aid. An adapter that destructively compresses the signal is an unexpected and unmitigated disaster, not some cool quirk of Lightning that makes "the host not care what is hanging off it". The real reason this abomination exists is because as recently as 2018, Apple is selling products with a connector that has the equivalent bandwidth of USB 2, not even close to transporting a single 1080p video signal.

    It’s destructive, and it probably also introduces a quite decent amount of latency.

    Yes - this is really quite astonishing. I imagine any video professional would be horrified to learn that their CABLES were recompressing their video. There's never an acceptable reason for that it's really amazing I haven't heard about it before.

  I wonder what they use for the demos at WWDC.
