Extron DPH 101 4K PLUS (part number 60-1686-01) — a compact one-input, one-output active DisplayPort to HDMI adapter for signals up to 4K/60 at 4:4:4.

What separates this from a passive dongle is the signal conditioning at both ends. The DPH 101 4K PLUS equalizes the incoming DisplayPort signal for up to 12 ft (3 m) of source cable, then reconditions the HDMI output so it holds up over another 12 ft to the display — 24 feet of total reach with the format converted along the way. It runs at up to 18 Gbps with a 600 MHz pixel clock, handles DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0, HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.3, and lives in a metal enclosure just 1.0 in high that can share a power supply with another Extron product instead of demanding its own outlet.

Key Capabilities

Where It Is Used

Integrating DisplayPort sources into HDMI system designs: a workstation or media player feeding an HDMI switcher or extender, rack-mounted signage engines, control-room operator positions, and imaging or simulation systems where the source is DisplayPort and the entire downstream infrastructure is HDMI.
