Product Information

Full details

This Kenable DisplayPort to HDMI converter is designed for users who need to connect a DisplayPort output from a computer or graphics card to an HDMI input on a monitor, TV, or other display device. Its key benefit is enabling seamless integration between DisplayPort-equipped sources and HDMI displays, supporting high-definition video and digital audio up to 1080p. A key caveat to note is that this adapter is strictly directional, converting from DisplayPort to HDMI only, and will not function in reverse.

The adapter supports a full 1080P resolution (1920x1080) with 24-bit color depths.

Does this adapter transmit audio?

Yes, the adapter supports optional digital audio transmissions, provided both your DisplayPort source and HDMI display are compatible with audio over their respective ports.

What does 'DisplayPort v1.1 compliant' mean?

It means the adapter adheres to the specifications of version 1.1 of the DisplayPort standard, which ensures compatibility and feature support with devices using the same standard.

Do I need to install any drivers for this adapter?

No, this is a passive adapter and does not require any software drivers to be installed. It works by converting the signal directly.

Can I connect this to a DisplayPort monitor from an HDMI source?

Troubleshooting

No video or audio signal on the display

Verify the adapter is connected correctly (DisplayPort to source, HDMI cable to adapter and display). Ensure the DisplayPort source and HDMI display are powered on. Select the correct HDMI input on your display. Confirm the source device's DisplayPort output is active and configured for display output. Test with a different HDMI cable and ensure the source device supports DisplayPort v1.1.

Display shows distorted or incorrect colors

Check the HDMI cable connection for looseness. Try a different HDMI cable. Ensure the resolution and color depth settings on your source device are compatible with your display and the adapter's specifications (up to 1080p, 24-bit color). Restart your source device.

Adapter not detected by the system

This type of adapter is passive and does not require drivers. Ensure the DisplayPort output on the source device is enabled in the system's settings. Try connecting to a different DisplayPort output if available on the source device.

Audio is not working, but video is fine

Confirm that both your DisplayPort source and HDMI display support audio transmission. Check the audio output settings on your source device to ensure the DisplayPort audio output is selected and enabled. Ensure the HDMI cable is securely connected.
