The VisionTek DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 active adapter allows you to connect your favorite DP device to your HDMI display or projector. An HDMI cable (sold separately) is required for this DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. The DisplayPort to HDMI adapter transmits high-definition audio and video from your DP device to an HDTV, display or monitor with HDMI for video streaming or gaming. The DisplayPort to HDMI adapter connects and configures displays in Extended Desktop or Mirrored Displays configurations. Unlike passive adapters, this DP to HDMI converter offers an active chipset for compatibility with any DisplayPort output - ideal for graphics cards and devices that do not support outputting multi-mode DP++ signals (e.g. AMD Eyefinity).
