HDMI/DVI-adapter Gembird A-HDMI-DVI-1

The Gembird A-HDMI-DVI-1 is a compact HDMI/DVI connector that links HDMI-enabled devices to DVI-equipped displays. It provides a direct physical connection between HDMI 19-pin sources and DVI 18+1-pin displays, with gold-plated contacts to improve electrical conductivity and reduce corrosion. The adapter is black and intended for straightforward digital video and, where supported, audio interfacing between compatible equipment.

Advantages

The adapter combines HDMI 19-pin male and DVI 18+1-pin male connectors in a small form factor, enabling simple conversion between common digital video interfaces. Gold-plated contacts deliver reliable electrical contact and help maintain signal integrity. Its plug-and-play design requires no drivers or external power, making it convenient for quick connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting an HDMI source (set-top box, DVD/Blu-ray player, laptop) to a DVI monitor or projector
• Temporary or permanent setups where only video (digital) transmission is required
• Home entertainment systems and simple AV installations

Key specifications

• Connectors: HDMI 19-pin male to DVI 18+1-pin male
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: black
• Brand / MPN: Gembird / A-HDMI-DVI-1

How to use

Insert the HDMI 19-pin male end into the HDMI output of your source device and connect the DVI 18+1-pin male end to the DVI input of the display. Ensure both devices are powered off when making the physical connection if recommended by the device manufacturers. After connecting, power on the devices; the display should detect the digital video signal automatically. Note that DVI typically carries video only—audio transmission depends on the specific devices and may require a separate audio connection.

Recommendations

Use the adapter for video-only digital connections and avoid forcing connectors when inserting or removing. For audio transmission from HDMI sources to displays that do not accept audio over DVI, use a separate audio cable or an AV receiver that accepts HDMI input.
