FAQs

Does this adapter support audio?

This adapter is primarily designed for video output. While HDMI can carry audio, the functionality depends on the USB-C device and the adapter's implementation. It's recommended to check your device's specifications or test to confirm audio support.

What does 'DisplayPort 1.2 Alt mode' mean?

It means that the USB-C port on your device is capable of sending a DisplayPort video signal through the USB-C connection, which this adapter then converts to an HDMI signal.

Is an external power supply needed?

No, this adapter is powered by the USB bus, meaning it draws power directly from the USB-C port it's connected to. No additional power adapter is required.

What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?

The adapter supports a maximum HDMI resolution of 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) at a refresh rate of 60Hz.

Can I use this with my smartphone?

Compatibility depends on whether your smartphone's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Many modern flagship phones do, but it's best to check your phone's specifications.

How durable is the 20cm cable?

The 20cm cable is suitable for direct connections but should be handled with care to avoid sharp bends or excessive strain, which could damage the internal wiring.

Troubleshooting

No video output detected

Ensure the USB-C port on your device supports DisplayPort Alt Mode. Verify the HDMI cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the display. Try a different HDMI port on the display. Check if the display source is set to the correct HDMI input. Restart your computer.

Flickering or unstable video

Check for loose connections. Try a different HDMI cable. Ensure the source device is not overheating. If using a high-resolution display, confirm the source device can output 4K@60Hz reliably.

Incorrect resolution or refresh rate

Adjust the display settings in your operating system to select the desired 4K resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. Ensure the source device's graphics drivers are up to date.

Adapter not recognized

Unplug and replug the adapter. Try connecting to a different USB-C port on your device. If the issue persists, the adapter may be faulty or the USB-C port may not support video output.

  3. Your display should automatically detect the input. You may need to select the correct HDMI input source on your display's settings.
