HDMI to DVI-D Dual Link Adapter

• Type: HDMI – DVI-D video adapter
• Connector 1: HDMI female
• Connector 2: DVI-D Dual Link male
• Contacts: Gold-plated

The adapter links HDMI and DVI-D. Use it to connect a computer with a DVI output to a TV through an HDMI cable, or an HDMI device to a PC monitor with a DVI input. The DVI-D connector is Dual Link, and gold-plated contacts give stable signal transfer.

The adapter also works with HDFury and other devices and cables with HDMI connections.

When does an HDMI to DVI-D adapter make the most sense?

The adapter solves the common problem of two devices with different video connectors: an older PC monitor with only a DVI input and a new computer or media player with HDMI, or a graphics card with a DVI output and a TV with HDMI. The HDMI cable plugs into the adapter and the adapter goes straight into the DVI port, with no new cable needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the HDMI to DVI-D dual link adapter carry audio?

No, the HDMI to DVI-D adapter carries video only. DVI-D is a purely digital video connection, so audio needs a separate audio cable or the speakers in the computer or monitor.

Which connector does the cable need for the HDMI to DVI-D adapter?

The adapter has an HDMI female socket, so it connects with a standard HDMI cable with a male plug. The DVI side is a DVI-D Dual Link male plug that goes straight into the DVI port on the computer, graphics card or monitor.

How does the HDMI to DVI-D dual link adapter differ from an HDMI–DVI cable?

The HDMI to DVI-D adapter fits straight onto an existing HDMI cable, so you can use the cable length you already have. An HDMI–DVI cable has a fixed length and replaces the whole cable. The adapter is also small enough to keep in a laptop bag for temporary connections.
