Product Features
Technical Overview
This adapter features a male DisplayPort 1.2 connector with a 20-pin configuration on the input end, designed to plug directly into a computer or source device's DisplayPort output. On the output side, it provides dual female connectors: a 19-pin HDMI 2.0 port and a 15-pin HD-15 VGA port. The HDMI output delivers digital video and audio up to 4K resolution at a 60Hz refresh rate, while the VGA output supports standard analog video signals for legacy displays.
The adapter's active circuitry manages the signal conversion between the digital DisplayPort interface and the target output format. This process ensures minimal signal degradation and maintains timing stability, which is especially important for high-resolution content and extended cable runs. The built-in support for HDCP 2.2 allows it to handle protected 4K content from streaming services, Blu-ray players, and other premium media sources.
