StarTech DP2VGA2 Active DisplayPort to VGA Adapter 1080p

Brand:

The StarTech.com DP2VGA2 is an active DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter designed to connect modern DisplayPort-equipped desktops, workstations and laptops to legacy VGA monitors, projectors and displays. It supports resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz and uses active signal conversion to bridge DisplayPort's digital output with VGA's analog input. HDCP 1.4 support and an integrated 3.5mm audio port make it suitable for enterprise workstation refreshes, classrooms, conference rooms and commercial AV deployments.

OVERVIEW

  • The DP2VGA2 is an active DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter for organizations connecting newer DisplayPort computers to existing VGA displays or projectors. It supports up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz, helping extend the service life of legacy display infrastructure without replacing functional monitors. Compatibility: DisplayPort source to VGA display. Compare: DP2VGA2 is an active DP-to-VGA model; passive DP adapters require compatible DP++ sources. 

USE CASES

  • Enterprise workstation refresh: Connects newer DisplayPort PCs and workstations to existing VGA monitors, helping reduce unnecessary display replacement during hardware upgrades.
  • Legacy monitor retention: Extends the useful life of compatible VGA displays when an organization transitions to computers with DisplayPort outputs.
  • Conference room presentation: Connects a DisplayPort-equipped computer to a VGA projector or display for presentation environments using legacy AV hardware.
  • Classroom AV systems: Provides a practical interface between modern computers and VGA projectors still deployed in educational environments.
  • Digital signage infrastructure: Supports compatible DisplayPort-source systems connected to legacy VGA display hardware.
  • IT deployment and staging: Gives technicians a standardized active adapter for environments where DisplayPort systems must connect to VGA equipment.
  • Control-room workstations: Supports legacy VGA displays in monitoring or control environments when replacing the computer while retaining compatible display hardware.
  • Small-office infrastructure: Avoids replacing operational VGA monitors when upgrading computers to systems equipped with DisplayPort.
  • Multi-generation hardware environments: Bridges newer DisplayPort graphics outputs with established VGA display infrastructure across mixed equipment generations.

KEY FEATURES

  • Active DisplayPort-to-VGA conversion: Converts the DisplayPort digital signal to VGA analog output, enabling connection to legacy VGA displays that cannot accept a native DisplayPort signal.
  • DisplayPort 1.2 input: Supports connection to compatible DisplayPort source devices used in current desktop and workstation environments.
  • Up to 1920x1200 at 60Hz: Provides support for high-resolution VGA output within the adapter's specified maximum, giving users a larger usable desktop workspace than lower-resolution legacy configurations.
  • 1080p support: Supports Full HD 1920x1080 at 60Hz for compatible displays, projectors and presentation systems.
  • Active chipset: Makes the adapter suitable for DisplayPort-to-VGA conversion where a simple passive cable cannot perform the required digital-to-analog conversion.
  • HDCP 1.4 support: Supports compatible protected-content workflows where source, adapter and display requirements are satisfied.
  • 3.5mm audio output: Provides an audio connection for compatible DisplayPort source systems and VGA display setups where separate analog audio is required.
  • Bus powered: Draws power from the DisplayPort source, eliminating the need for a separate external power adapter.
  • Male DisplayPort connector: Plugs directly into a compatible DisplayPort output, simplifying workstation installation.
  • Female VGA connector: Provides a standard VGA display interface for compatible monitors, projectors and other analog displays.
  • Compact adapter design: Minimizes installation footprint behind workstations and presentation equipment.
