StarTech.com 4K DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter for Monitors/TVs

The DP2HD4KS DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is designed to provide a seamless connection between a DisplayPort-enabled laptop or desktop, such as the HP EliteBook 8570p / 8470p, and an HDMI display. This adapter is fully compatible with DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 4K @ 30 Hz, enabling it to support impressive video resolutions of up to Ultra HD (4K), along with digital audio output that can reach 7.1 channel surround sound. By supporting Ultra HD (4K) resolutions, the adapter guarantees that you can convert DisplayPort signals to HDMI while delivering exceptional picture quality, four times the resolution of traditional 1080p high-definition displays.

Moreover, the DP2HD4KS is backward compatible with earlier DisplayPort standards, specifically revisions 1.0 and 1.1, allowing for resolutions of up to 1080p. One of the significant advantages of this DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is its plug-and-play functionality; it requires no additional software or drivers for installation, which simplifies the setup process. Its compact and lightweight design enhances portability, making it convenient to transport between home and office environments.

To ensure compatibility across various DisplayPort outputs, this adapter includes active conversion. Active video conversion is essential for preserving 4K resolutions when converting from DisplayPort to HDMI. An active DP adapter is particularly beneficial for delivering 1080p video resolutions with compatibility for graphics cards that cannot output multi-mode DP++ signals, such as those found in ATI Eyefinity setups.

The performance specifications for the DP2HD4KS DisplayPort to HDMI adapter highlight its capabilities. It directly connects any DP host to an HDMI display and supports Ultra HD (UHD) 4K at 30Hz (3840x2160) alongside 1920x1200 (1080p) resolutions, 7.1 channel audio, HDCP 1.4, and DPCP. The adapter features a 5.9-inch (15cm) attached cable for connecting devices.

When it comes to host compatibility, this active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter supports DP/DP++ source connectors and operates with DP sources that lack DP++ compliance, which includes a range of workstations, desktops utilizing AMD Radeon Pro or Nvidia RTX/Quadro graphics, laptops, compact form factor computers, and docking stations.

The versatility of this adapter extends to connecting to various display types; you can easily link an HDMI monitor, television, or projector, thus enabling the addition of a secondary display to your workstation. Its compact design makes it especially portable, allowing you to move it effortlessly between different setups.

For a reliable and stable connection, the adapter is equipped with a non-latching DP connector, designed for easy disconnection even in hard-to-reach setups. It has been tested with HDMI cables at lengths of up to 35 feet to ensure optimal performance.

Finally, ease of use is a hallmark feature of the DP2HD4KS DisplayPort to HDMI video adapter. It operates without needing any software or drivers, ensuring compatibility with various operating systems, including macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu. The adapter configuration features a DP Male to HDMI Female connection, making it user-friendly and efficient. Backed by a 2-year warranty from StarTech, along with lifetime technical support, this adapter stands as a reliable choice for your DisplayPort to HDMI needs.
