A system administrator is upgrading desktop computers in a training facility. The new workstations only feature DisplayPort outputs, but the existing wall-mounted monitors only have analog VGA ports. When a technician uses a passive DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter cable to connect a workstation to a monitor, the display remains blank. Which of the following explains why the video signal fails to display and identifies the necessary hardware to resolve the issue?
- DisplayPort natively outputs digital signals while VGA requires analog signals, so an active adapter with an integrated Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) is required.Cevap
- BVGA connections require higher bus bandwidth than native DisplayPort outputs can provide, requiring a dual-link DVI cable to boost signal throughput.
- CThe DisplayPort output port must be reconfigured in the motherboard BIOS to enable Thunderbolt protocol mode before analog signals can pass through.
- DThe passive cable fails because standard VGA interfaces require digital audio channels that standard DisplayPort connectors cannot multiplex.
Cevap
DisplayPort natively outputs digital signals while VGA requires analog signals, so an active adapter with an integrated Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) is required.
DisplayPort outputs digital video signals, whereas VGA requires analog RGB signals. A passive adapter cable only rewires matching pins and cannot perform signal translation. To connect a digital DisplayPort output to an analog VGA input, an active converter containing an integrated Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) is required to transform the digital data into analog signals.
