Surface Pro Mini DP to HDMI adaptor? Passive or Active?

So ive never used a mini dp port before, or any display port for that matter. I need an adaptor to connect my surface pro first generation to my hdmi monitor. Would one of these work properly? Do i need a passive or active adaptor?

Is the 'for mac' just marketing? Surely an adaptor is an adaptor?
