Add-On HDMI2DVIDS HDMI to DVI-D Adapter Cable

Overview

The Add-On HDMI2DVIDS is a 6-foot adapter cable designed to bridge the gap between modern HDMI video sources and older DVI-D single-link displays. This cable is essential for integrating new equipment into existing infrastructure without requiring a full system overhaul. It supports the transmission of digital video signals, ensuring a clear, artifact-free image when connecting devices like computers, media players, or surveillance system recorders to monitors or projectors equipped with a DVI-D input. The HDMI 1.3 male connector plugs into your source, while the DVI-D (18+1 pin) female connector interfaces with your display.

Compatibility

This adapter cable is compatible with any device featuring an HDMI output and any display or projector with a DVI-D single-link (18+1 pin) input. It is suitable for connecting PCs, laptops, gaming consoles, and many digital signage players to DVI-D monitors commonly found in professional AV setups, older workstation monitors, and some legacy surveillance system displays. Ensure your DVI-D port supports digital signals only; this cable does not convert analog video.

Installation Notes

Simply connect the HDMI male end to your video source and the DVI-D female end to your display. No drivers or external power are required, as the adapter draws minimal power from the HDMI port. Ensure both connections are secure for optimal signal integrity. The cable's 6-foot length provides moderate reach for typical desktop or rack-mounted setups.
