The active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter features audio pass-through support, which enables to connect both the audio and video that's output from a DisplayPort-equipped desktop or laptop computer to an HDMI monitor, projector or display.

Unlike a passive adapter, the DP2HDS actively converts single-mode and dual mode DisplayPort output, which is ideal for graphics cards that do not output dual mode/multi-mode (DP++) signals, such as ATI Eyefinity cards.

This active DP to HDMI adapter is compatible with Intel Thunderbolt, when connected directly to a supporting DisplayPort over Thunderbol I/O port.
