Description

StarTech DP2HD4KS Active DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter

Overview

The StarTech DP2HD4KS is an active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter designed to bridge the gap between DisplayPort-enabled devices and HDMI displays. This adapter is essential for integrating older or mixed-environment systems where a direct HDMI connection is not available. It supports resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz, making it suitable for environments requiring detailed visuals without the need for higher refresh rates. The adapter also passes through 7.1 channel digital audio, simplifying setups that require both video and audio transmission over a single cable. Its active conversion ensures compatibility with graphics cards that require a more robust signal, unlike passive adapters.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any device featuring a DisplayPort 1.2 output, including many business laptops, workstations, and graphics cards. It supports HDCP 1.4 and DPCP content protection, ensuring playback of protected content from sources like Blu-ray players and streaming services when connected to an HDCP-compliant HDMI display. It is designed to work with HDMI 1.4 displays and receivers.

Installation Notes

The adapter operates within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F). It requires a DisplayPort 1.2 source and an HDMI display. The integrated cable is 5.9 inches long, with the overall product length being 8.5 inches, facilitating clean installations without excessive cable slack. Ensure the source device's DisplayPort output supports audio transmission if audio is required.
