Hi there, Charles B. Maybe I can help you. Yes, it should work. Of course, I haven't seen anything with DVI for a long time. But if you do have something that has a DVI port on it, okay. You'll need an adapter that has both HDMI 2.0 and Dual Link DVI on the other end. About the only differences between HDMI 1.4 and HDMI 2 are-increased resolution (1080 vs 4k, or so) and HDCP 2.2 which the adapter and the Mac mini must support, otherwise you won't get any picture at all. You can't mix stuff that supports HDMI 1.4 only and HDMI 2.0, ('Hi speed HDMI' ) especially with HDCP 2.2. It all has to support HDCP 2.2, all of it, or no picture. Of course this is video only, you'll have to find another way to get sound to where you need it, if you do need it. I have provided a link for illustration. There may be a cable out there that does this, but I couldn't find one with a dual link dvi, just single link. there may be one out there, but I couldn't find it. There are also displayport to dvi adapters out there as well.. if that helps

Mac computers that have any of the following ports can connect to HDMI devices. Learn how to identify the ports on your Mac.
HDMI port: Connects directly to HDMI using an HDMI cable.
USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port: Connects to HDMI using an adapter, such as the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter.
Mini DisplayPort: Connects to HDMI using a third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter or cable.
Mac computers that have an HDMI port comply with HDMI 1.4b and support:
At least 1080p video over HDMI, and some Mac models support higher resolutions when connecting to 4K displays, 5K displays, and Ultra HD TVs
8-channel/24-bit audio at 192kHz, Dolby Surround 5.1, and traditional stereo
HDCP-encrypted playback from iTunes and QuickTime Player (version 10). Safari in macOS Sierra or later also supports HDCP-encrypted playback, if the web page is HTML5-enabled and the content is FairPlay Streaming-enabled and delivered using Media Source Extensions or HTTP Live Streaming.
If using an adapter, check the specifications of the adapter to learn about supported resolutions and other details.
After making the connection
If your Mac doesn't recognize your HDTV, display, or other HDMI device after making the connection:
Turn off the HDMI device while your Mac is turned on.
Unplug the HDMI cable from your Mac, then plug it in again.
Turn on the HDMI device.
If the video on your HDTV or display extends beyond the borders of the screen, open Displays preferences and adjust the Underscan slider for a better fit. Use any of these methods to open Displays preferences:
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Displays.
Press Shift-Command-A to open the Applications folder. Then double-click System Preferences, then click Displays.
If your keyboard has brightness controls, press Option–Brightness Up or Option–Brightness Down.
If your HDMI device isn't receiving audio from your Mac:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sound. In the Output pane, make sure that your HDMI device is selected.
If you're connecting using a Mini DisplayPort adapter, make sure that your Mac can send audio over Mini DisplayPort.
If you're connecting from a Mac mini, unplug any audio device that is plugged into your computer's Audio-Out port.
