How to use

Insert the male DisplayPort plug into the DisplayPort output on your computer or dock.

The adapter is plug‑and‑play on macOS, Windows, Chrome OS and Linux; configure display resolution and arrangement from your operating system display settings as needed. Ensure the source supports DisplayPort 1.2 output and that the target HDMI display supports the intended resolution and HDR if required.

Usage recommendations

For best results when using the HDMI output at 4K@60Hz and HDR, use a high‑quality HDMI 2.0 cable and verify that both the computer’s DP output and the display support HDCP and HDR. When connecting to older VGA projectors, set the source resolution to 1920×1080 or lower to ensure stable analog output. Avoid using both outputs simultaneously; the adapter is designed to provide one active video path at a time.
