Plugable Active DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter - Connect Any DisplayPort-Enabled PC or Tablet to an HDMI Enabled Monitor, TV or Projector for Ultra-HD Video Streaming (HDMI 2.0 up to 4K 3840x2160 @60Hz)
With the Plugable DisplayPort to HDMI Active Adapter (DP-HDMI), convert the DisplayPort output on your device–laptop, desktop, tablet, docking station–to HDMI. Now you’re ready to connect to virtually any HDMI-enabled display. How important is an Active Adapter? Active Adapters use an integrated chipset to convert the DisplayPort signal from the computer to an HDMI signal. The Plugable adapter supports resolutions up to 4K (3840x2160) 60Hz on displays with Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), and 4K 30Hz with High Dynamic Range (HDR) capable displays. Applications Connect an HDMI-equipped display to a DisplayPort-equipped deviceConnect additional HDMI displays to AMD Eyefinity or NVIDIA Surround capable graphics cardsSmall and sturdy, so it can go where you go In the Bag Plugable DisplayPort to HDMI Active Adapter Please note that an HDMI cable is not included. Compatibility Compatible Setups Compatible with PC laptops, desktops, tablets, or DisplayPort docking stations that have a full-sized DisplayPort output port to add a HDMI-capable monitor, TV, or projector In order to display a 4K resolution the host's graphics processor and attached display need to be 4K capable Incompatible Setups This adapter is not bi- directional and will not convert video in the other direction Not compatible with HDR (requires HDMI 2.0b or HDMI 2.1) Refresh rate may be limited to 30Hz on 4K HDR televisions What is an active adapter? How is it different from a passive adapter? An Active DisplayPort adapter has an integrated circuit to convert a DisplayPort signal to HDMI, DVI, or VGA. DisplayPort uses a different digital signaling type than HDMI and DVI (which use the same type), both of these signaling types are very different from VGA's analog signal. Passive adapters rely on the graphics controller to selectively deliver the correct graphics signal using the DisplayPort output. Generally, this leads to reduced resolution or refresh rate compared to Active Adapters. Additionally using passive adapters may limit the number of connected displays in AMD Eyefinity and NVIDIA Surround setups. Why doesn't this work with HDR 4K televisions? HDR or HDR10 is a new technology that requires additional color and brightness data to be transmitted from the computer to the display. This requires the host computer to support DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.0b or HDMI 2.1, our adapter is designed for SDR (non-HDR) displays and converts from DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 and is incompatible with the HDR specification. When connected to an HDR television, the television will attempt to enable HDR over the connection even though it is not supported causing reduced refresh rate or image quality. Some televisions provide options to disable HDR but most will enable and prioritize HDR over image quality and refresh rate.
