WHEN TO CHOOSE AN ACTIVE DISPLAYPORT ADAPTER

When you connect a source with a (mini)DisplayPort interface to one or more DVI or HDMI display(s), you need to know the difference between active and passive video adapters.
PCs and other video sources with dual-mode Display Port (also known as DP++) interface support the conversion between DisplayPort and HDMI or DVI. You can use a passive video adapter. Watch out for the DP++ symbol at your source port.
Use always an active video adapter, if your video source has a single-mode DisplayPort interface or needs to support multiple video outputs. Active adapters are equipped with an internal chip that performs the conversion between single-mode or dual-mode DisplayPort and HDMI or DVI.
