HDMI 1.3 to DisplayPort active adapter

This adapter converts an HDMI 1.3 male source into a DisplayPort female connection for compatible displays. It draws power through an integrated USB cable to maintain signal integrity. The compact black design suits desktop or portable setups requiring format translation.

USB-powered signal conversion under load

The active circuitry regenerates the video signal rather than passing it through passively. USB power ensures stable operation during extended sessions without relying on source port current limits. This approach prevents drop-outs when driving higher resolutions over longer periods.

Replaces passive dongles for reliable handshake

Passive cables often fail to complete the HDMI-to-DisplayPort handshake at 1.3 speeds. This adapter solves that by actively re-clocking the stream with dedicated USB power. The upgrade is worth it when a passive dongle produces no image or intermittent flicker.

Questions about this item

How much power does the HDMI2DPUSB draw when it is running all day?

The adapter is USB powered, so it draws its operating power from the connected USB port while active.

What source port must I already have to use the HDMI2DPUSB?

You need an HDMI 1.3 male output on your source device to plug the adapter into.

Will the HDMI2DPUSB work with my older HDMI 1.2 equipment?

The adapter is specified for HDMI 1.3, so compatibility with earlier HDMI versions is not guaranteed.
