Add-On DISPLAYPORT2HDMIADPT Displayport 1.2 Male TO HDMI 1.3 Female Adapter

Overview

The Add-On DISPLAYPORT2HDMIADPT is a passive adapter designed to bridge DisplayPort 1.2 output from a source device to an HDMI 1.3 input on a display. This adapter is essential for integrating systems where DisplayPort is the only available output but an HDMI-compatible monitor or projector is required. It's critical to note that this adapter requires the source device to support DisplayPort Dual-Mode (DP++), allowing it to output an HDMI signal. This is a common requirement for connecting modern graphics cards and integrated video outputs to a wide range of displays.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any source device featuring a DisplayPort 1.2 output that supports DP++. This includes many desktop computers, laptops, and some professional video equipment. It connects to any display or input device with an HDMI 1.3 (or later) female port. Ensure your source device's graphics driver is up-to-date for optimal compatibility. It is not designed for direct connection to DisplayPort-only monitors without DP++ support.

Installation Notes

The DISPLAYPORT2HDMIADPT is a plug-and-play device. Simply connect the male DisplayPort connector to the source device's DisplayPort output and an HDMI cable (sold separately) from the female HDMI port to the display's HDMI input. No external power is required, as it draws power through the DisplayPort connection. Verify DP++ support on your source device before purchase.
