Additionally, I experienced a flickering issue when I ran WMR with the Surface Book 2 at first. That means the cable needs to split and have enough slack to hit both sides of the Surface Book 2, which is larger on the 15-inch model. Placement is problematic, too, since the secondary USB-A plug needed for power delivery to the WMR headset is on the opposite side of the USB-C port. I expect to see that shift over the next few years with USB-C connections instead. Probably not, but it would have helped since WMR headsets exclusively use HDMI adapters for the current generation. Would a full HDMI port have been warranted? The reason for the claim was port choice and placement. Windows Mixed Reality works beautifully.ĭuring my review of the, I noted that support for WMR seemed like an afterthought for Microsoft. That revision won't start seeing consumer applications until sometime in 2018, though. Update 1/4/18: Microsoft has now confirmed that the USB-C adapter does support HDCP 2.2.įinally, it should be evident that being HDMI 2.0 ipso facto means is not here either. I've reached out to Microsoft to ask about support and will update this review accordingly. While all HDCP 2.2 adapters support HDMI 2.0, not all HDMI 2.0 parts support HDCP 2.2. Unfortunately, I have not been able to determine if the adapter supports the newer HDCP 2.2 security standard for 4K UHD streaming content. AMD Eyefinity and NVIDIA support ties into those company's own and often proprietary optimization for multi-display setup, which this adapter evidently allows. The adapters have extra hardware on them to do the DP++ conversion, making them more robust and compatible regardless of the systems being connected. SOLUTION Go to Control Panel / System / Harware / Device Manager / slide down to the list at Universal Serial Bus Controllers, you will find a USB Mass Storage Device with a yellow triangle. Active format adapters make up for sources that do not support dual-mode DisplayPort (also known as DP++). This reference to active format adapter is essential and one of the reasons why it may cost so much.
More interestingly, the company notes that it is 'an active-format adapter' that supports AMD Eyefinity and NVIDIA. Microsoft's dongle is HDMI 2.0 compatible and 4K-ready. The cord connecting the two ends is six inches (15.2 cm) in length, which is long enough for most scenarios including WMR. On one end is the USB-C plug, the other a female HDMI adapter. The Microsoft Surface USB-C to HDMI adapter is straightforward. Gofanco USB 3.0 to HDMI/DVI Video Card Adapter w/External Graphics Chipset and a HDMI-to-DVI Converter - up to 2560x1440 for Windows & Mac System (up to Mac OS 10.13.3 & Latest 10.14 ONLY) (USB3HDMI). I installed the drivers listed for 10.11 and above without success. I just bought the Insignia USB to HDMI/DVI Adapter (NS-PU37H-BK) to use with my MacBook Air 2014, MacOS v10.13.6.
