Female) Active Monitor Converter (HD2DP) - Adapter cable - HDMI, USB (power only) male to DisplayPort female - 25. Externally powered HDMI to DisplayPort adapters do exist, these generally have a USB or small barrel plug for power, and can convert from a HDMI Source to DisplayPort Sink.

It is relatively easy to convert from DisplayPort to HDMI (computers with HDMI output ports already do this internally) and dual-mode DisplayPort outputs have built-in adapters to output a HDMI signal for use with passive DisplayPort to HDMI adapters. The symbol is a D with a P inside, with two + signs to the left, one on top of the other ( Figure 4).

Whether you’re looking for a network cable or a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, you’ll find top-quality solutions here. Passive adapters rely on the graphics controller to selectively deliver the correct graphics signal using the DisplayPort output.This is due to how the two graphics controllers share the output port, the Intel graphics controller generally controls the port and "passes" through video data from the second graphics controller, limitations on Display detection and maximum resolution are set by the Intel graphics driver. An Active DisplayPort adapter has an integrated circuit to convert a DisplayPort signal to HDMI, DVI, or VGA. allows greater resolutions while maintaining high picture quality with an active chipset allowing the connection of multiple displays. Most DisplayPort to HDMI cables and adapters are one-way adapters from a DisplayPort Source (computer or docking station) to a HDMI Sink (television, computer monitor, or projector).

This is especially true if the computer has more than one DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort connection. If the source supports dual-mode DisplayPort (also known as DP++), then you can use a passive adapter because the source can perform the conversion.The HDMI to DisplayPort Converter provides functionality that is not supported by other adapters that are designed to connect the DisplayPort output of a device and to a display which accepts an HDMI input.
