If you do need much longer cables, those options are clearly present. Unfortunately, these much longer cables tend to be a little pricy because the FERRISA HDMI Converter is an active adapter, which tend to be a bit pricier than passive devices. Which is part of the reason why this device supports UHD 4K content, running 3840×2160 at 30Hz. Other Considerations If the source supports dual-mode DisplayPort (also known as DP++), then you can use a passive adapter because the source can perform the conversion. If the source does not support DP++, then you mustuse an active converter, which includes additional chips to perform the conversion.It’s unfortunate that they didn’t go above and beyond with specially plated connection terminals. But this sort of basic utilitarian design is easier to appreciate if you’re on a tight budget. This adapter includes a three-year warranty from StarTech, in addition to lifetime customer support from Star Tech. If you’re looking for top quality adapters and you’re willing to pay a little more, you might want to consider the StarTech.com HDMI to DisplayPort Converter. It’s not the right choice for everyone because it only runs about six inches in length. But for reliable adapters that are made to last forever, it’s tough to beat StarTech. Their considerable warranty and customer service are actually pretty respectable. Thunderbolt ports support DP++ natively. To run multiple monitors from the same computer, see the Active Adapters section below. Hardware note: This converter relies on the capabilities of the attached hardware to provide feature support. To use Audio, Deep Colour, or 3D features, your source device must support them also over HDMI.

The VisionTek HDMI to DisplayPort Active 1.5M Cable will convert an HDMI signal into a DisplayPort signal, making this cable idea for digital entertainment centers, home offices, business conference rooms, and trade show displays. Connect your XBox ™ Series X/S to your Monitor using our HDMI™ 2.1 to DisplayPort™ 1.4 Adapter 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz or 1080 at 240Hz.Another reason to use an active adapter is if you’re using DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB Type-C. This is most commonly found on smaller devices like notebooks, tablets, and smartphones. If you’re using that kind of video output, you’re always going to need an active adapter. HDMI to DisplayPort: Not So Easy For years it's been a simple matter to go from DisplayPort to HDMI because the DisplayPort standard natively supports the HDMI standard - but the other way? What a nightmare! That was until now, when this amazing active HDMI to DisplayPort Converter arrived. It gives you reliable, high-resolution signal converting from HDMI v2.0 hardware to DisplayPort v1.2, with video support up to 1080p Full HD and 7.1 channel surround sound up to 192KHz. As long as they support the same specification, a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter works similarly to an HDMI cable. Before we talk about how these different adapters work, it’s important to understand how HDMI and DisplayPort work. To begin with, let’s take a look at HDMI. HDMI replaced the old RCA standard that had been used since the mid-90s. RCA was severely limited, both in picture quality and bandwidth. To upgrade their standard, HDMI’s developers looked to the IT industry. DVI had been used in the IT industry for years, and was ironically a precursor to DisplayPort. As a result, the standards are fairly similar in design. The USB 2.0 Type-A male power connector runs about three feet from the center of the adapter. The cable connecting the DisplayPort box to the HDMI format runs about six inches. Using the adapter is a tiny bit complicated because you need to plug in the additional power connector if you want this adapter to be an active converter adapter. But the added step isn’t too challenging.

Do note that Cable Matters doesn’t ship any additional DisplayPort cable. So you will have to make that investment from your end. Supports resolutions UHD of 8K at 60Hz, 4K (3840x2160) @ 120Hz, 1440p (2560x1440) @ 120Hz, 1080p (1920x1080) @ 240 Hz.To understand, it’s important to remember why both of these standards were created. Remember: HDMI was created by display manufacturers, while DisplayPort was created by IT companies. To put things another way, DisplayPort is optimized for the source side. This includes PCs, AV receivers, and other, similar devices.
