Club 3D Intros DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 Active Adapters with 4K-60 Hz Support

What us wrong with 10bpc with 4:4:4 ? Does your tv support 4:4:4 with 24, what model TV is it? Can the HDMI 2.0 spec even handle that?

This is the spec listed:


  • This is the easiest solution for connecting your DP 1.2 enabled source device to an HDMI 2.0 enabled 4K UHD TV, monitor or projector
  • The adapter is fully compliant to HDMI 2.0 specification allowing for 6Gbps TMDS Throughput per channel. The interface in the adapter has three lanes for HDMI data, clock, HPD Signal and power, offering a total TMDS throughput of 18 Gbps
  • Compliant to DP Specification 1.2 for 1.62Gbps, 2.7Gbps and 5.4Gbps per lane. Effective bandwidth 17.28Gbps
  • Supports UHD Resolutions up to 3840x2160p at 60Hz with 24 bit color and 4:4:4 color sampling
  • Repeater for HDCP 1.3 and HDCP 2.2. Powered by USB port ( no external power needed)
  • Color depths on 38402160 at 60hz, - DP: RGB 6/8/10/12-bit per component (bpc) and YCbCr4:4:4, YCbCr4:2:2 bpc 8/10/12 bpc
  • Color depths on 38402160 at 60hz, - HDMI: RGB 8/10/12 bpc; YCbCr4:4:4, YCbCr4:2:2 and YCbCr4:2:0 8/10/12 bpc
  • Powered by USB Port (no external power needed)

Interesting that it says it's powered by USB as that doesn't seem obvious by the photos, looks like it's just the one cable. Unless USB is built into DisplayPort?
Also the webpage suggests that at 10/12/16 bpc it's 4:2:0 (although I find the table a little confusing as it also suggests 4:2:2 for 12 bpc, unless that's @ 50Hz).
 
Though we don't typically cover adapter news, this one is worth a special exception. Late last month Club3D announced their DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 adapter, and since then there has been some confusion over just what their adapter actually supports - a problem brought on by earlier adapters on the market that essentially only supported a subset of the necessary HDMI 2.0 specification. As a result Club3D sent over a second note last week more explicitly calling out what their adapter can do, and that yes, it supports HDMI 2.0 with full 4:4:4 chroma subsampling.

I had noticed that about the USB comment as well, and went on the hunt in the photos for a usb hookup :D

Turns out that DP can carry a USB signal (Thunderbolt does it btw).
 
If DP can carry a USB signal, do DP cables supply the USB ports/hubs on monitors? Would I not need a separate USB cable to power them? Oh and what USB spec is it, 2 or 3? Thunderbolt has insane bandwidth so am hoping 3 or better yet 3.1
.
 
If I wanted to connect from a HDMI 2.0 source to a DP 1.2 and get the HDCP 2.2 to work could I do it with this adapter or would I need the input/outputs to be reversed?

E.g Connecting a 4k Blu-ray player or streaming device which requires HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 to my Philips BDM4065 which only has HDMI 1.4 and Display port 1.2 Inputs.
 
is there any word on this yet? its painfull having to play at 30hz on an amd card lol. Wasnt early january the release date? Also are OCUK going to be getting these in?
 
The dates for these has bounced around quite a bit, at one point it was "it'll be available within weeks" and that was around Aug\Sept last year.

They found fault with a chip so couldn't proceed till fixed. It is all apparently finished now and shipping in volume from late December. Europe should actually get them first btw.
