FAQ

How to connect DisplayPort to HDMI monitor?

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.

How does a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter work?

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.

How do HDMI cables work?

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.

What is an active DisplayPort to HDMI cable?

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