C043BSource checked · pending review

The DP2HD4KS manufacturer sheet identifies an active DisplayPort-input to HDMI-output adapter and lists both DP++ and non-DP++ sources in its host-compatibility scope.

Scope: DP2HD4KS only; supported direction and source class, not approval of any particular host or display. · review due 2027-01-11

C043CSource checked · pending review

DP2HD4KS is specified for 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz; its performance table lists no HDR support.

Scope: Exact DP2HD4KS model, not all active adapters. The broad claim that all 4K DP-to-HDMI conversion requires an active adapter is not adopted. · review due 2027-01-11
