I bought an Innoview portable display a few years ago. It is a model INVPM406.
It worked perfectly connected via a lightning to micro-HDMI cable I acquired and used with my main Macbook Pro, my main work computer at the time. In this configuration it also required a USB connection for power thus needing two cables. I relocated the display to my blog server for the rare time I need a display on that system and used essentially the same micro-HDMI plus USB configuration to get it working without any issue.
Recently I had reason to attach the display to my Macbook Air. This machine has two USB-C connectors and I figured I should be able to run the monitor with a single cable. I was right, but the trick is to get a proper cable. A USB-C high speed data and power cable is required: a more typical low-speed USB-C cable will not fit the need.
I confirmed the requirements by trying two or three USB-C cables of various quality I had lying about, none of which worked. I then ordered a higher cost high speed data and power cable from Amazon: this one to be specific, but any cable rated for 80 Gbps or better should be sufficient. It is hard to get exact specs on a cable via Amazon, but this one did the trick and I was able to connect and power the display with a single USB-C cable.
Now I just need to decide whether or not I buy a second Innoview for use with my Macboook so I can return the old one to its role as once-in-a-while display on my blog server. The Innoviews are quite inexpensive so… who knows?
