[QUOTE="ferrarr, post: 1735309, member: 376394"] I don't think the USB connection is going to work, but if the USB port outputs the video, then it should work. Yes, you will need the cable and the adapter will be needed for the older iMac. Mini Display port is the same as Thunderbolt 1 & 1, if I'm not mistaken. So, you will need a Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt 3 adapter, [url]https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1222837-REG/startech_tbt3tbtadap_thunderbolt_3_to_thunderbolt.html#[/url]!. [/QUOTE]
