StarTech.com’s superb video adapter offers users high resolution video conversion from DisplayPort to HDMI. Designed with simplicity in mind, this adapter is an obvious choice for those wanting a high-end, easy to use solution for displaying video between modern between different devices. With support for HDR (High Dynamic Range), it provides richer, sharper, and an enhanced feel to images and video.

This DisplayPort adapter supports 4K resolutions at 60Hz (3840 x 2160) with a maximum bandwidth of an incredible 18Gbps. It’s fully capable of connecting with your HDMI 2.0b equipment as well as earlier versions of HDMI and DisplayPort. On earlier versions, this adapter will allow videos and pictures to be shown at the maximum resolution of the display. Because the adaptor features support for high resolution, users can convert on any device and not need to worry about sacrificing image quality.

This compact adapter supports brilliant colour, improved contrast, and greater luminosity through HDR support.

Note: HDR is only supported on DisplayPort versions 1.4 or higher and HDMI 2.0b or higher.

StarTech.com know how important efficiency is in their devices, which is why this adapter offers chroma subsampling. It means that the file size is reduced during signal transfer without impacting the image quality, this in turn aids efficiency because the cable isn’t using as much bandwidth to transfer the data.

A great feature of the DisplayPort cable is that it doesn't require any additional software to be downloaded to use it. With no set up needed, it's incredibly easy to use, just plug in and play. As it’s a small cable, users can place the connections in a location close to where it suits their needs best. It has a low profile and is extremely lightweight, allowing users to slip it into a laptop bag or rucksack.

StarTech’s adapter is a sophisticated and cost-effective solution for eliminating the necessity for upgrading equipment when in perfect working order.

NVIDIA graphics adapters may not support 4:4:4 chroma subsampling and 5.1/7.1 audio output, when used with this adapter.

This converter cable can be used for legacy equipment and with the latest displays offering 4K capabilities. StarTech’s cable can be utilised in a workplace for presentations or boardroom meetings. It can also be used in more domestic settings to show video, images and more on an HDMI supported display.

To connect to an HDMI supported monitor via DisplayPort, you can use this StarTech.com adapter. Simply plug the DisplayPort connector into your input device and connect an HDMI cable to the female port on the adapter, then connect the other end of your HDMI lead into your intended monitor.

To convert from DP to HDMI, the converter needs to boost the voltage for HDMI to 5v. The adapter will also be capable of sending out TMDS signals to support HDMI outputs.

HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface and works by using TDMS (transition-minimized differential signalling). TDMS encodes the signal being transmitted, which protects information from degrading as it travels along the cable from one place to another. One of the many wires carries the signal itself and another wire carries the inverse. Once the signals have reached the TV, the TV decodes the signal. Then, using the difference between the original signal and the inverse, the TV compensates for any loss of information that may have happened along the way.

The DisplayPort adapter has an active conversion that allows it to perform the conversion itself rather than the source device.
