Display port to dvi Adapter

1. Connector Types:
   • Input (from source): DisplayPort male.
   • Output (to display): DVI-D or DVI-I female (digital only).
2. Signal Conversion:
   • DisplayPort is capable of carrying both digital and analog signals. However, most DisplayPort to DVI adapters support only digital DVI signals (DVI-D).
   • Some adapters are passive (relying on the device’s DisplayPort to DVI compatibility), while others are active converters for devices that don’t support DVI output natively.
3. Resolution Support:
   • Supports up to 1920×1080 (1080p) or 1920×1200 for most adapters. Higher-quality active adapters may support up to 2560×1600.
4. Compatibility:
   • Compatible with desktops, laptops, and graphics cards with DisplayPort.
   • Works with monitors, projectors, and displays that use DVI.
5. Active vs. Passive Adapters:
   • Passive adapters work for dual-mode DisplayPorts (DP++), which are capable of outputting DVI signals.
   • Active adapters are necessary for non-DP++ ports or for multi-display setups where the graphics card requires an active adapter for signal conversion.

Common Applications:

• Connecting a DisplayPort-enabled computer or graphics card to a DVI monitor.
• Multi-monitor setups where you need different adapters for varied display inputs.

When choosing an adapter, check the resolution needs and confirm whether an active or passive adapter is required based on your device.
