StarTech DVI2HD — DVI-D to HDMI with USB audio

A documented DVI-D-to-HDMI path with a separate Windows USB stereo-audio connection and a stated 1080p/60 Hz entry.

Endpoint map

Start with what is physically represented

Documented DVI-D computer output to HDMI display; the separate USB connection supplies the optional audio path.

Represented path, not a complete port inventory

The two searchable endpoint forms represent video. The additional USB connection is a distinct audio/power path, not an extra video source or a generic DVI audio capability.

Capability ledger

Six questions kept separate

DataConditional

Native USB audio from the documented Windows computer example; not USB video or general-purpose USB bridging.

Evidence: C336B

Power / chargingConditional

The sheet describes USB power, video-only DVI use and a USB connection for added audio. No external power adapter is required; no charging role is inferred.

Evidence: C336B

VideoDocumented

DVI-D video input to HDMI output; the performance table states 1920 × 1080p at 60 Hz.

Evidence: C336A · C336C

ConversionNot Established

USB audio integration is documented, but the sheet does not explicitly assign an active/passive class.

Evidence: C336B · C336D

Length / reachDocumented

17.8 cm cable length and 25.0 cm whole-product length are separate entries, not interchangeable reach values.

Evidence: C336D

Markings / certificationDocumented

The named product is DVI2HD. A connector-grid description does not establish implemented dual-link transport.

Evidence: C336A

Operating-limit evidence

Documented statement — read the scope

The stated timing is 1920 × 1080p at 60 Hz. Other listed resolutions do not have individual refresh rates; no unlisted timing or HDMI feature is promised.

C336C

A source statement, not a calculated path limit or verified equipment result.

Explicit unknowns

Reverse direction and an explicit active/passive classification are not established.
Native USB audio is scoped to the documented Windows example.
No unlisted timing, universal codec decoding or implemented dual-link guarantee is inferred.

C336ASource checked · pending review

StarTech DVI2HD lists DVI-D input and HDMI output for a computer-to-display path. Its DVI connector is described as a dual-link physical form; reverse operation, analog DVI-A input and implemented dual-link transport are not established by that description.

Scope: DVI2HD hardware and connector tables, pages 1–4; the explicit DVI-D AV-input entry bounds broad marketing wording. · review due 2027-01-05

C336BSource checked · pending review

DVI2HD can add two-channel stereo from native USB audio on a Windows computer to the HDMI output. The sheet describes USB power and allows video-only use through the DVI connection; adding audio requires the separate USB connection.

Scope: DVI2HD separate USB audio/power path, pages 1–2. This is not evidence that an ordinary DVI-to-HDMI cable transports USB audio or that every operating system is supported. · review due 2027-01-05

C336CSource checked · pending review

The DVI2HD performance table documents 1920 × 1080p at 60 Hz. Other listed resolutions have no individually stated refresh rates in the inspected sheet. This product entry is not a full timing or HDMI-feature compatibility guarantee.

Scope: DVI2HD performance entries, pages 2–3; named documented timing only, no computed maximum, HDCP or codec guarantee. · review due 2027-01-05

C336DSource checked · pending review

DVI2HD lists a 17.8 cm cable length separately from a 25.0 cm whole-product length. The document describes audio integration but does not explicitly assign an active/passive classification; that classification remains not established here.

Scope: DVI2HD physical measurements and classification boundary, pages 2–4; no cable reach reconstructed from body dimensions. · review due 2027-01-05

Common questions

Questions this record can help resolve

Can I reverse a DVI-to-VGA converter?Start with the documented source and display, then distinguish passive analog adaptation, active conversion and a bidirectional digital cable.Why does a DVI adapter have a USB lead?A USB connection can have a different documented job on different adapters. Separate optional power from audio insertion.HDMI/DVI cable or USB-audio adapter: what changes?Do not promote bidirectionality, a full DVI grid or a published timing into unsupported audio and performance guarantees.
