Product Information

Full details

This kenable DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is for users needing to connect a DisplayPort-equipped computer or graphics card to an HDMI monitor, TV, or other display device. Its key benefit is enabling seamless audio and video conversion between these standards. A caveat to note is that this is a passive adapter, meaning it relies on the DisplayPort source device supporting DP++ (Dual-Mode DisplayPort) for conversion. It features a male DisplayPort connector and a female HDMI port, supporting deep color and high video bandwidth.

FAQs

What does 'passive adapter' mean?

A passive adapter does not actively convert the signal. It relies on the source device's DisplayPort output to support DP++ (Dual-Mode DisplayPort), which allows it to output an HDMI signal through the DisplayPort connector. This is the most common type of adapter for DisplayPort to HDMI connections.

Will this adapter work if my graphics card doesn't have DP++?

If your DisplayPort source device does not support DP++ (Dual-Mode DisplayPort), a passive adapter like this one will not work. You would need an active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter in such cases.

Can I connect my HDMI device to a DisplayPort monitor with this adapter?

No, this adapter is designed to convert a DisplayPort signal to an HDMI signal. It cannot be used to connect an HDMI source to a DisplayPort display. You would need an HDMI to DisplayPort adapter for that purpose.

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?

This adapter supports video bandwidth up to 10.8Gbps and 8-bit/10-bit deep color. The actual maximum resolution and refresh rate will depend on the capabilities of your source device and display.

Does this adapter require any drivers?

No, this is a plug-and-play device and does not require any software drivers. It relies on the operating system and graphics card drivers of your source device.

What is the difference between this and an active adapter?

A passive adapter (like this one) requires DP++ support from the source. An active adapter contains electronics to convert the DisplayPort signal to HDMI, making it compatible with DisplayPort sources that do not support DP++.

Troubleshooting

No display or signal detected.

Ensure your DisplayPort source device supports DP++ and that it is enabled in the device's settings if applicable. Verify that the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the display. Try selecting the correct HDMI input source on your display manually. Test with a different HDMI cable and display if possible.

Flickering or distorted video.

Check the connections for a secure fit. Ensure the HDMI cable is rated for the resolution and refresh rate you are using. A shorter, high-quality HDMI cable may resolve issues. Test with a different HDMI cable.

Incorrect resolution or refresh rate options.

Verify that your source device's graphics drivers are up to date. Check the DisplayPort and HDMI specifications of your source and display devices to ensure compatibility with the desired settings. The adapter supports up to 10.8Gbps, so ensure your display and source can handle the chosen resolution and refresh rate within this bandwidth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables connection between DisplayPort and HDMI devices.
  • Supports high video bandwidth and deep color for quality output.
  • Compact and lightweight design.
  • RoHS compliant for environmental safety.

Cons

  • Passive adapter requires DP++ support from the source device.
  • Not suitable for connecting HDMI sources to DisplayPort displays.
  • May not support all advanced features of active adapters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your source device (computer, graphics card) has a DisplayPort output and supports DP++ (Dual-Mode DisplayPort). Most modern devices do.
  2. Connect the male DisplayPort end of the adapter to the DisplayPort output on your source device.
  3. Connect your HDMI cable to the female HDMI port on the adapter.
  4. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI input on your monitor, TV, or projector.
  5. Power on your devices. Your display should automatically detect the input, or you may need to select the correct HDMI input source on your display.

Compatibility:

  • Source Devices: PCs, laptops, graphics cards with DisplayPort output (requires DP++).
  • Display Devices: Monitors, TVs, projectors with HDMI input.
  • Operating Systems: Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and other operating systems that support DisplayPort.

Care:

  • Keep the adapter clean and free from dust.
  • Avoid excessive bending or force on the connectors.
  • Store in a dry environment when not in use.
