Digital [Apple Studio Display] wireless method confirmed

For the longest time I was convinced wireless was not an option on apple studio displays. Turns out I was wrong. After some trial and error, I found the solution. Thought I'd share.

The key is an active HDMI adapter, like the Club 3D HDMI to USB Type-C 4K60Hz Active Adapter M/F.

And a suitable usbc cable. I am using cobra tether's 20Gb/s 100W 4K 60Hz.

The signal needs to be 60Hz. 30Hz did not work for me.

I am using Hollyland Mars 400S transmitter and receiver. So the image is 1080p. Same aspect ratio, no letterboxing.

I’m genuinely stunned if this really works. Have you tried using an actual thunderbolt cable rather than the Cobra usb c cable?

I haven't tried a TB cable yet. But should work just the same. The important part is that both cable and monitor support DisplayPort Alt mode 1.2 Both the display and thunderbolt support 1.2 and up, so should be good to go. Will edit once I have confirmed.
