AVPro Edge AC-CONVERT-HDDP HDMI to DisplayPort Converter and 1x2 Distribution Amplifier

Overview

The AVPro Edge AC-CONVERT-HDDP is a signal converter and 1x2 distribution amplifier that takes a single HDMI 2.0 source—at up to 18Gbps 4K 60Hz 4:4:4—and outputs it to two DisplayPort 1.2a displays simultaneously. It is the correct tool when HDMI sources must feed DisplayPort-equipped displays, projectors, or monitors in environments that have not transitioned away from DisplayPort infrastructure. The unit requires no drivers or software configuration and is in active use in hospital monitoring systems, corporate AV, and digital signage deployments where DisplayPort is the display standard.

Description

The AC-CONVERT-HDDP handles the full 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, which means 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 signals are converted and distributed without down-sampling the color space or reducing frame rate. HDCP 2.3 and earlier content is supported throughout the signal chain. The unit's small form factor is intentional: it is designed to be positioned discreetly behind displays, inside equipment enclosures, or within millwork without requiring dedicated rack space.

A locking power connector prevents accidental disconnection in permanent installations. The plug-and-play design means no configuration is needed once connected—the converter detects the HDMI source and distributes the converted signal to both DisplayPort outputs automatically.

Key Features

• Converts HDMI 2.0 input to two DisplayPort 1.2a outputs (1x2 distribution)
• Full 18Gbps bandwidth — passes 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 without signal degradation
• HDCP 2.3 and earlier content protection compliance
• HDR support for compatible source and display combinations
• Plug-and-play — no drivers, software, or configuration required
• Locking power connector to prevent accidental disconnection
• Small form factor designed for concealed or behind-display installation
• Compatible with streaming devices, UHD Blu-ray players, gaming sources, and modern computers via HDMI
• Supports DisplayPort 1.2a monitors, projectors, and AVRs

Typical Applications

• Hospital patient rooms and clinical environments where bedside monitors use DisplayPort inputs but source devices output HDMI
• Corporate conference rooms and boardrooms with DisplayPort projectors fed from HDMI laptop connections or media players
• Digital signage installations distributing HDMI content to two co-located DisplayPort commercial displays
• Post-production suites and edit bays feeding HDMI playback devices to dual DisplayPort reference monitors
• Education and training rooms where HDMI sources feed paired DisplayPort displays or a primary display plus a secondary monitor
• Residential and commercial AV installations where newer HDMI source equipment must integrate with existing DisplayPort display infrastructure

FAQ

Can the AC-CONVERT-HDDP send different content to each DisplayPort output?

No. The unit is a distribution amplifier: both DisplayPort outputs carry identical copies of the single HDMI input signal. It is not a matrix switcher or independent dual-output device.

Does the converter support audio passthrough?

Yes. Audio carried on the HDMI input is passed through to both DisplayPort outputs as part of the full-bandwidth 18Gbps signal chain. Specific audio format support depends on the display or AVR connected to the DisplayPort outputs.

Is the AC-CONVERT-HDDP compatible with 4K HDR sources?

Yes. The unit supports HDR over the 18Gbps HDMI 2.0 signal path. HDR output to the DisplayPort displays requires that the connected monitors also support HDR via their DisplayPort input.

What sources are compatible with the HDMI input?

Any HDMI 2.0-equipped source is compatible: streaming players, UHD Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, computers, and AV receivers with HDMI output. HDCP 2.3 and earlier content is supported.

Is rack mounting available?

The AC-CONVERT-HDDP is not a rack-mount unit. Its small form factor is designed for installation behind displays, inside enclosures, or within millwork. For rack-mounted distribution, AVPro Edge offers other DA models in 1U housings.
