Would want to see definite evidence of that working at 2160/60p - looks like a conventional DP -> HDMI 1.4 "passive" adaptor to me (limited to 2160/30p) .

i think we need the PS8409 chip for the DP to Hdmi 2.0 converter. PS8402A still hdmi1.4b.

"Adapter delivers 4K60 with HDMI 2.0 cable, love it. This seems to be a new version that must have the new Parade Tech chip inside (the one shown in the pictures on this product page show the old one that is only capable of 4K30). So far, I have ZERO complaints about this awesome adapter, and my company just bought 12 more!"
From above Amazon link.

From the same Amazon link:
"Just tested the adapter and it does indeed deliver 4k @ 60Hz. However, it does NOT deliver 4k @ 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling (e.g. 12 bcc output color depth). It's not HDMI 2.0 - it's HDMI 1.4, but the adapter still does it's job well and it is not falsely advertised to be HDMI 2.0, so I won't leave a negative review. Since I'm looking for a displayport 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 converter, I will be returning this adapter. Just a heads up in case someone else was looking for the same thing."

i'm aware that HDMI1.4 can do 4k@60hz but not 4:4:4 color space, that's why i said we need the new chip not the PS8402A to be able to utilize full function of HDMI2.0.

If this adaptor does do a full 3840x2160/60p Displayport to 4:2:0 3840x2160/60p HDMI 2.0 (via HDMI 1.4 bandwith) conversion then it will be very useful to many of us with TVs that only accept 4:2:0 at 2160/60p (and don't accept 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 at full 4K 60p) - like many Sony UHD sets.
4:2:0 2160/60p is an HDMI 2.0 resolution - it isn't in the HDMI 1.4a spec - but can be carried over HDMI 1.4 bandwidth connections. (AIUI some CE manufacturers lobbied for 4:2:0 to be added to HDMI 2.0 precisely to allow them to use HDMI 1.4a physical connections. Given that any conventional consumer video source of pre-recorded or live commercial content is likely to be 4:2:0 - as all consumer DVB, ATSC, DVD and Blu-ray content is - this wasn't a major compromise. However it is a limitation if you shoot your own 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 content, or want to use the display as a PC screen)
