StarTech.com DisplayPort to HDMI 4K 60Hz Adapter (DP2HD4K60S)
Product ID: DP2HD4K60S
Product Overview
The StarTech.com DP2HD4K60S is an active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter that enables the transmission of Ultra HD 4K video and audio from a DisplayPort source to an HDMI display at a 60Hz refresh rate.
This adapter leverages the native video capabilities of the DisplayPort connection to deliver the exceptional quality of UHD technology on 4K 60Hz displays. This allows for enhanced multitasking and productivity when using multiple monitors for resource-intensive applications.
Unlike many other 4K DisplayPort to HDMI adapters that only support a 30Hz refresh rate, this adapter is compatible with HDMI 2.0 displays, providing output resolutions up to 3840 x 2160p at 60Hz. With support for HDMI 2.0 technology, the adapter supports a bandwidth of up to 18 Gbps, making it an ideal solution for high-resolution tasks such as 4K video editing.
The adapter is backward compatible with 1080p displays, allowing it to be used with lower resolution displays like home or office TVs and projectors.
The compact and lightweight video adapter is highly portable, serving as a perfect accessory for portable DP devices. It easily fits into a laptop bag or carrying case.
This portable adapter is a practical solution for business use, enabling employees to connect to office HDMI BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) applications, such as workstations with HDMI displays or sharing a laptop screen on a conference room projector.
For compatibility with any DisplayPort output, the DP adapter offers active conversion. Active video conversion is required to maintain 4K resolutions during the conversion process.
An active DP to HDMI adapter is ideal for 1080p output resolutions, functioning with graphics cards that do not transmit DP++ multimodal signals, such as ATI Eyefinity™ graphics cards.
For a seamless setup, the DisplayPort to HDMI adapter supports plug-and-play installation, requiring no additional drivers or software.
Note: To achieve 4K at 60Hz resolution, a DisplayPort 1.2 output and an HDMI 2.0 display are required.
The DP2HD4K60S product is backed by a StarTech.com 3-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
