DisplayPort
DisplayPort is a serial link which uses 1x, 2x or 4x lanes.
| DP Version | Max Speed per lane |
|---|---|
| 1.1 | HBR = 2.16 Gbit/s |
| 1.2 | HBR = 2.16 Gbit/s\ HBR2 = 4.32 Gbit/s |
| 1.3 / 1.4 | HBR = 2.16 Gbit/s\ HBR2 = 4.32 Gbit/s\ HBR3 = 8.1 Gbit/s |
Dual Mode Displayport (DP++) allow to convert Displayport video signal to HDMI/DVI by using a passive adapter. It requires an active converter on host side. DP++ only supports DVI D-Single Link
