This adapter is perfect for situations where a computer with a DisplayPort video output must be connected to an HDMI display. The small form-factor of this adapter is the perfect size for transport. Connect the adapter directly to the PC and then connect your HDMI cable between the adapter and the display. This adapter features nickel-plated DisplayPort connector and supports up to a full 1080p resolution. Please Note: This DisplayPort adapter operates passively and is designed for use with dual mode graphics cards often designated with D++. HDMI audio is supported by this adapter when connected to a device that possesses dual mode and HDMI audio capability. Although the vast majority of source devices support HDMI with audio, some are incapable when using a passive adapter. If you are uncertain if your source device supports HDMI audio with passive adapters, please consult with your computer or graphics card manufacture to verify.
