iFixit tore down a smart cover a while ago: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad-2-Smart-Cover-Teardown/5...

There are two kinds of DisplayPort adapters, some which have are active devices that have a chip that does the conversion, and some which are passive that rely on the computer/video card to output the other formats. All of Apple's are the former.

I tend to get my converters from MonoPrice which is far less expensive than from Apple.
