Club3D Announces its DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 Active Adapter

In January 2016 Club 3D brought a solution to the market as an upgrade since GPU solutions were not bundled with HDMI 2.0 connectors. Users needed to spend a lot of money for the latest graphics card, Notebook, Ultrabook or MiniPC, that were equipped with up to date technology HDMI 2.0 output for 4K@ 60Hz.

With the introduction of the CAC-1070 (DP 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 Adapter) and CAC-1170 (MiniDP to HDMI 2.0 Adapter) Club 3D has been the first company in the market to fulfil this demand.

Nice, guess they are powered by the display port itself (pin 20 is 3,3V 500 mA, pin 19 return)

Is there any info about HDMI audio here? since the audio stream is mixed into the picture data over HDMI i assume one would need some trickery in the drivers for it to work, or is this already implemented?

yes, but is not the same way that HDMI caries audio (DVI/HDMI uses serial links while DP is packet based) as the data stream for audio and sound in DP is separate wile the stream in HDMI is combined at the GPU into the screen signal.

Its possible the converter is capable of this but its a valid question to ask, as there is a lot of people with older GPUs that has DP 1.2 that they might want to connect to a 4K TV

That is good then, would maybe have mentioned it in the press release.

This does mean that there will be many decent GPUs ready for duty in a HTPC now.
