Q:
What’s the difference between passive and active DisplayPort adapters?
A:
If your video source supports dual-mode DisplayPort (DP++), you can use a
passive adapter to send DisplayPort video to a single-link DVI or HDMI monitor.
The DP++ video source
performs the conversion instead of the adapter. Source
devices that support dual-mode DisplayPort are usually marked with the DP++
logo. If you’re connecting to multiple monitors,
you might need an active
adapter.
Q: What
is a passive DisplayPort adapter?
A: If
your video source supports dual-mode DisplayPort (DP++), you can use a passive
adapter to send DisplayPort video to a single-link DVI or HDMI monitor. The
DP++ video source
performs the conversion instead of the adapter. Source
devices that support dual-mode DisplayPort are usually marked with the DP++
logo. If you’re connecting to multiple monitors,
you might need an active
adapter.
Q: What
is an active DisplayPort adapter?
A: An
active DisplayPort adapter converts both single-mode and dual-mode output, so
your connected video sources don’t have to support DP++. The adapter performs
the conversion
from DisplayPort to VGA, DVI or HDMI instead of the source
device. Active adapters/converters are ideal for use with graphic cards such as
AMD Eyefinity™ that do not output dual-mode
signals.
Q: How to tell if a DisplayPort adapter is active or passive
A: Basically,
if the adapter includes a little box that houses the conversation chip it is
active. If the adapter cable is no bigger than a regular plug, it is most
likely passive.
