Product Information

Full details

This Kenable DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is designed for users needing to connect DisplayPort-equipped devices like MacBooks or graphics cards to HDMI monitors, projectors, or TVs. Its key benefit is enabling high-definition video output up to 4k x 2k resolution with active chipset support for multiple displays. A potential caveat is that it's an *active* adapter, meaning it requires power from the DisplayPort source to function correctly.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this adapter bi-directional (HDMI to DisplayPort)?

No, this adapter is designed exclusively for converting a DisplayPort signal to an HDMI signal. It cannot convert HDMI to DisplayPort.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

The adapter supports resolutions up to 4k x 2k (3840 x 2160 pixels). The actual resolution achieved depends on the capabilities of your source device, the HDMI cable, and the display.

Do I need to install any drivers?

No, this is an active adapter with Plug 'n' Play functionality. It should be automatically detected by your operating system without the need for driver installation.

What is the length of the built-in lead?

The adapter features a 20cm (approximately 7.8 inches) integrated lead connecting the DisplayPort plug to the HDMI socket.

Does this adapter support audio?

Yes, the adapter supports audio transmission along with the video signal.

Why is it called an 'active' adapter?

An active adapter contains electronics (a chipset) that actively convert the DisplayPort signal into an HDMI signal. This is often necessary for resolutions above 1080p or when the source device doesn't output a dual-mode DisplayPort signal (DP++).

Will this work with my older Mac/PC?

It depends on whether your older Mac or PC has a DisplayPort output. If it does, and supports the necessary signal output, it should work. Compatibility is primarily determined by the presence of a DisplayPort output on the source and an HDMI input on the display.

Troubleshooting

No signal on the display

Verify both DisplayPort and HDMI connections are secure. Ensure the source device is powered on and outputting a signal. Check that the correct input is selected on the display device. Confirm the DisplayPort source is providing power.

Lower resolution than expected

Check the resolution settings in your operating system's display properties. Ensure both the source device and the display device support the desired resolution. Verify the HDMI cable used also supports the required bandwidth.

Flickering or unstable image

Ensure all connections are firm. Try a different HDMI cable. Test with a different DisplayPort source or HDMI display to isolate the issue. Check for driver updates for your graphics card.

Displayport source not recognizing the adapter

Restart your computer. Ensure the DisplayPort output on your source device is functioning correctly and providing power. Test with another DisplayPort device if possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high resolutions up to 4k x 2k.
  • Active adapter ensures signal quality and multi-display support.
  • Plug and Play for easy setup.
  • Compatible with 3D video and audio.
  • Built-in ferrite bead reduces interference.

Cons

  • Requires a DisplayPort source that can provide sufficient power.
  • Fixed 20cm cable length may be limiting for some setups.
  • Only converts DisplayPort to HDMI, not the other way around.
  • Color is limited to black.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your source device (e.g., MacBook, graphics card) has a DisplayPort output.
  2. Ensure your display device (monitor, TV, projector) has an HDMI input.
  3. Connect the DisplayPort end of the adapter to your source device.
  4. Connect an HDMI cable (sold separately) from the adapter's HDMI socket to your display device.
  5. The adapter is Plug 'n' Play, so no software installation is typically required. Your operating system should automatically detect the display.

Compatibility:

  • Source: Devices with DisplayPort output (e.g., many laptops, desktops, graphics cards).
  • Display: Devices with HDMI input (e.g., monitors, TVs, projectors).
  • Resolutions: Supports up to 4k x 2k @ 30Hz (depending on source and display capabilities).
  • Standards: DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4, HDCP v1.3.
  • Note: This is an *active* adapter. The DisplayPort source must be able to supply power for the adapter to function.

Care:

  • Keep the adapter and its connectors clean and free from dust.
  • Avoid bending the integrated lead sharply.
  • Store in a dry place when not in use.
  • Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth only; do not use solvents.
