Active HDMI to DisplayPort Adapter with 4K 60Hz HDR Video, HDCP 2.2, USB Bus Power, and 1-Foot Cable for Connecting HDMI Laptops to DisplayPort Monitors
The StarTech 128-HDMI-DISPLAYPORT is an HDMI to DisplayPort adapter that converts any HDMI 2.0 video source to a DisplayPort 1.2 output at resolutions up to 4K 60Hz with HDR and HDCP 2.2, enabling HDMI-equipped laptops and desktops to drive DisplayPort monitors and projectors through an active conversion circuit powered by a USB-A connection. The adapter features a 1-foot cable between HDMI and DisplayPort connectors to reduce port strain, with a separate 1-foot USB power cable for bus-powered operation from any USB-A port or wall charger. An active HDMI to DisplayPort adapter from StarTech with 2-channel audio, ultrawide support, plug-and-play setup, and a 3-year warranty.
The adapter utilizes the video capabilities of the host device for GPU-native performance with minimal CPU usage, and plug-and-play operation works across Windows, macOS, Ubuntu, and ChromeOS without driver installation. The uni-directional design converts HDMI source to DisplayPort output only and is backward compatible with previous HDMI versions for older laptops and desktops.
Where the 128-HDMI-DISPLAYPORT Fits
- HDMI laptops connecting to DisplayPort monitors where the active converter enables 4K 60Hz HDR output from HDMI-equipped laptops to DisplayPort-only enterprise monitors from Dell, Samsung, Asus, Acer, and LG
- Desktop workstation upgrades where an existing HDMI graphics card output needs to drive a DisplayPort monitor at full 4K 60Hz resolution for design, editing, and productivity applications
- Mixed-fleet IT environments where standardizing on DisplayPort monitors across the organization requires HDMI-to-DP conversion for older HDMI-only laptops and desktops during hardware refresh cycles
What the 128-HDMI-DISPLAYPORT Delivers
- 4K 60Hz with HDR and HDCP 2.2: Active conversion from HDMI 2.0 to DisplayPort 1.2 at up to 3840x2160 60Hz. Supports HDR content, HDCP 2.2 protected media, and ultrawide resolutions up to 3440x1440 60Hz with 2-channel audio.
- 1-foot cable with reduced port strain: Cable between HDMI and DisplayPort connectors eliminates rigid connector-to-connector stress on laptop and monitor ports. Separate 1-foot USB power cable connects to any USB-A port or wall charger.
- GPU-native performance with plug-and-play setup: Utilizes the host device's GPU for uncompressed video output with minimal CPU usage. OS-independent operation on Windows, macOS, Ubuntu, and ChromeOS without driver installation.
- Backward compatible across HDMI versions: Works with any HDMI source from HDMI 1.x through 2.0. Tested at maximum resolution on DisplayPort monitors from Dell, Samsung, Asus, Acer, and LG.
