Black Box VA-DP12-HDMI4K-A-R2 Active DP 1.2 TO HDMI 2.0 Adapter, MF
Overview
The Black Box VA-DP12-HDMI4K-A-R2 is an active adapter designed to convert DisplayPort 1.2 signals to HDMI 2.0 output. This is critical for integrating modern DisplayPort-equipped sources, such as workstations or certain video wall controllers, with HDMI 2.0 displays or projectors. It ensures compatibility for high-resolution video distribution in conference rooms, digital signage, or command centers where mixed display technologies are common. The adapter handles the signal conversion without requiring external power, simplifying installation.
Compatibility
This adapter is compatible with sources outputting DisplayPort 1.2 or higher, including most modern workstations and laptops. It outputs to any display or projector accepting an HDMI 2.0 input signal. It is designed to work with standard DisplayPort connectors and HDMI connectors, facilitating integration into existing AV infrastructure. Specific compatibility with certain video wall processors or source devices should be verified based on their DisplayPort output capabilities.
Installation Notes
Connect the DisplayPort male connector to the source device and the HDMI female connector to your HDMI cable leading to the display. Ensure the source device's DisplayPort output is configured to output the desired resolution and refresh rate. No external power supply is required as the adapter draws power from the DisplayPort interface.
