Vention DisplayPort Male to HDMI Female Adapter — Black (HBMB0)

The Vention HBMB0 is a compact DisplayPort-to-HDMI port adapter that connects any desktop PC, workstation, or laptop with a full-size DisplayPort output directly to an HDMI-enabled monitor, TV, or projector — with no cable, no external power, and no driver installation required. It steps up from Full HD to support 4K @ 30Hz resolution with simultaneous audio and video pass-through, making it a practical choice for both office and home setups where a clean, permanent port conversion is preferred over a longer cable-based adapter. The black ABS housing with gold-plated connectors keeps the unit durable and resistant to corrosion over years of repeated connections.

The HBMB0 is a port adapter rather than a cable-type converter — it plugs directly into the DisplayPort port on the source device, and an HDMI cable then runs from it to the display. This approach works well for fixed desktop installations, AV rack setups, and any situation where a short, stubless connection at the graphics card or laptop port is preferred. The built-in intelligent drive smart chip ensures stable 4K signal conversion without the intermittent dropout and handshake failures that chipless passive adapters can produce at higher resolutions.

 


Technical Specifications

Signal & Video

  • Converter type: Active chip-based (unidirectional — DisplayPort source to HDMI display only)
  • Input connector: DisplayPort Male (full-size, DP 1.2 compatible)
  • Output connector: HDMI A Female
  • Maximum resolution: 4K (3840 × 2160) @ 30Hz
  • Also supports: 1920 × 1080 (1080p) @ 60Hz, 1440p, 1080i, 720p, 576p, 480p
  • Signal direction: DisplayPort → HDMI only — cannot convert HDMI signal to DisplayPort
  • Display modes: Mirror and extend (configured via OS display settings)
  • Chip: Intelligent drive smart chip (active conversion)

Audio

  • Audio pass-through: Yes — simultaneous audio and video over HDMI output
  • Supported formats: Stereo PCM; multi-channel audio dependent on source device and display capability

Physical

  • Form factor: Port adapter (no cable pigtail — DisplayPort male plugs directly into source port; HDMI cable connects to female port)
  • Color: Black
  • Housing material: ABS
  • Connector finish: Gold-plated on both DisplayPort male and HDMI female
  • Dimensions: Approximately 40.1mm × 23.1mm × 8.9mm
  • Weight: ~0.1 kg (including packaging)

Power

  • External power required: No — bus-powered from the DisplayPort port on the source device
  • USB power cable: Not required

Warranty

  • Warranty period: 12 months

Compatibility

  • Source devices: Desktop PCs and workstations with full-size DisplayPort output; laptops with full-size DisplayPort; discrete and integrated graphics cards (AMD, NVIDIA, Intel) with DP 1.1 or DP 1.2 output
  • Display devices: Any HDMI-enabled 4K TV, monitor, or projector
  • Operating systems: Windows 7 / 8 / 10 / 11, macOS, Linux — plug-and-play, no drivers required
  • Note — USB-C and Thunderbolt devices: This adapter requires a full-size DisplayPort output port. USB-C-only laptops (such as recent MacBooks, Dell XPS, and similar) require a USB-C to HDMI adapter instead.
  • Note — Mini DisplayPort devices: Not compatible with Mini DisplayPort (mDP) ports found on older MacBooks, Microsoft Surface devices, and some workstations. A Mini DP to HDMI adapter is required for those devices.
  • Note — docking stations and KVM switches: The intelligent chip in this adapter does not function correctly when connected through a docking station, KVM switch, or USB hub with DisplayPort passthrough. Connect directly from the graphics card or laptop DisplayPort port only.
