PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ATEN VC986B True 4K DisplayPort to HDMI Active Adapter (4K@60Hz) - 2 Years Local Warranty
True 4K at 60Hz from DisplayPort to HDMI
The VC986B converts DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 at up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60Hz and 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz, with 18 Gbps bandwidth – smooth, full-frame-rate 4K for modern monitors and TVs.
HDCP 2.2 for Protected Content
HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compliance means protected 4K content plays correctly on the HDMI display.
Active Chip, AMD Eyefinity Compatible
An advanced active chip ensures stable conversion even when the DisplayPort source lacks dual-mode (DP++) support, and the adapter is AMD Eyefinity compatible for multi-display setups.
Audio and Plug-and-Play
Audio is carried over HDMI and no drivers are needed. Copper foil shielding protects the signal.
