Save money by connecting your DisplayPort laptop to an existing HDMI display. This DisplayPort to HDMI cable (M\/F) allows you to play stereo audio and high-definition video from your DisplayPort computer or laptop on an HDMI television, monitor or projector. You can continue using your existing HDMI display and HDMI cable without the time, effort or expense of replacing it with a new DisplayPort monitor. It is an easy, inexpensive way to play video in classrooms, conference rooms, lecture halls, trade shows and other on-the-road presentations. Transmits outstanding 1080p video for high-definition presentations. This DisplayPort to HDMI converter adapter supports computer video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (at 60 Hz) and HDTV resolutions up to 1080p with 36-bit Deep Color. Watching videos and playing games on a large-screen HDMI monitor is enhanced by the cable's support of 7.1-channel surround sound. Passive adapters require DisplayPort++ for HDMI pass through. Because it is a passive adapter, this adapter cable requires that the connected source device have a DisplayPort++ (DP++) dual-mode port, which allows HDMI signals to pass through. Check your DisplayPort source's documentation for compatibility. Ready to use right out of the package. Ideal for displaying video on a large monitor or digital sign, the cable is perfectly sized for carrying in your briefcase or laptop bag for convenient use anywhere. Just connect the male DP end to your computer's DisplayPort and the female HDMI end to an HDMI cable to begin sharing HD audio\/video signals. The plug-and-play adapter requires no software, drivers or external power.
