Q: I have a Mac mini, a thunderbolt display and an apple LED cinema display. I would like a dual display solution. I connected the TD to the thunderbolt port, and would like an adapter to connect the LED-CD to the HDMI port. Does this exist?

Is there any adapter available to connect an Apple LED cinema display with mini displayport to the HDMI port on a Mac Mini.  I would like to employ a dual monitor solution. There is a thunderbolt cinema display attached to the TD port.

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
