Connect Mini DisplayPort-equipped workstations, graphics cards, and docking hardware directly to an HDMI display with an integrated active conversion cable. The 1 m cable removes the need for a separate adapter and HDMI patch cable, providing an HDMI output at up to 4K 60 Hz. It supports 8-bit 4:4:4 video output, HDMI 2.0 signaling, and 7.1-channel audio for display and AV connections that require both picture and sound through one cable. The active chipset in the StarTech 1M-MDP-HDMI2-4K60 works with Mini DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort++ source ports. No driver or software installation is required. Support for Mini DisplayPort 1.2, 1.4, and 2.1 source ports gives engineers a direct path from an mDP video output to an HDMI display, projector, or receiver without changing the source hardware. For high-bandwidth display paths, the cable supports 32.4 Gbps HBR3 bandwidth and HDCP 2.3/DPCP content protection. Its active conversion distinguishes it from passive Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI cables that depend on a compatible dual-mode source port. Use it in multi-monitor workstation configurations where the source presents Mini DisplayPort and the display-side connection must be HDMI.
