Passive adapters rely on the graphics controller to selectively deliver the correct graphics signal using the DisplayPort output. The HDMI2DP DVI or HDMI® to DisplayPort® Converter converts an HDMI, DVI or Mini DVI input signal into a DisplayPort (or Mini DisplayPort) output, eliminating the cost of upgrading your source device hardware or purchasing a new display. Our factory-trained technicians provide a range of on-site services, including commissioning, maintenance and repairs, to help ensure your 3-phase UPS systems maintain peak performance over their entire operational life. Whether you’re looking for a network cable or a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, you’ll find top-quality solutions here.

The StarTech HDMI2DP HDMI or DVI to DisplayPort® Active Video Converter allows for seamless active conversion from an HDMI or DVI source to a DisplayPort® destination. Please note that DisplayPort to HDMI cables (as with most cables involving protocol/signal conversion) are not bidirectional adapters, which means they only work in one direction -- from a DisplayPort output to a HDMI input.

The symbol is a D with a P inside, with two + signs to the left, one on top of the other ( Figure 4). We will not deduct for removal of packaging to inspect the item, but we may deduct for wear and tear where the item has not been checked but used. There has been some confusion when using HDMI to DisplayPort (DP) or the opposite way adapters on Dell computers. Most DisplayPort to HDMI cables and adapters are one-way adapters from a DisplayPort Source (computer or docking station) to a HDMI Sink (television, computer monitor, or projector). Ideal for digital entertainment centres, home offices, business conference rooms and trade show displays.

Simply connect the DisplayPort end of the connector to your computer and plug your existing HDMI cable from the display into the adaptor. Additionally using passive adapters may limit the number of connected displays in AMD Eyefinity and NVIDIA Surround setups. With the Plugable DisplayPort to HDMI Active Adapter (DP-HDMI), convert the DisplayPort output on your device–laptop, desktop, tablet, docking station–to HDMI. 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. It supports high-definition resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz as well as High Dynamic Range (HDR) displays for more vivid colours and an immersive viewing experience.To check whether you can use a passive adapter, is to see if the DisplayPort, or Mini DisplayPort source has the DP++ symbol above it.

An Active DisplayPort adapter has an integrated circuit to convert a DisplayPort signal to HDMI, DVI, or VGA. allows greater resolutions while maintaining high picture quality with an active chipset allowing the connection of multiple displays.HDMI uses a video signal, similar to DVI, this requires more power to operate at the same cable lengths as DisplayPort and requires significantly more processing power to create DisplayPort packet-based data. Intel HD4000 and HD5000 series graphics controllers with modern Windows 10 and Windows 11 releases may be limited to 4K 30Hz when using a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, however may still support 4K 60Hz with a direct DisplayPort connection. In other words, active adapters are more flexible and can be used on either a pure DisplayPort output or a DP++ port.
