Spectator Display for HTC Vive

[Paul_Smenis]

I need some help on how to setup or duplicate the display to a TV.

I'm running 3x Dell 2312HM via displayport connected to a 980ti. So the card has one hdmi port that will be connected to the Vive. I have a 42" TV with hdmi ports that I want to connect as a spectator display.

So I'm going to need to get a hdmi splitter but here is where I need help. My monitors only have DP input and I'm pretty sure a regular hdmi to DP cable won't work without a converter.

So here is my question.

From one of the gpu displayport output, I'm going to run a DP to hdmi cable into the splitter input.

From the the splitter with 2x hdmi output, one hdmi cable will run to the tv and the second output will be a hdmi to DP converter.

From that converter I will plug in a DP cable to connect it to my main monitor.

Will this setup work? I need to make sure before I drop $50 on the converter.

Just a heads up you can also hook up the Vive via mini-DP if you video card has any more free DP ports.. It has both a HDMI and mini-DP ports on the hookup box. It just doesn't come with the cable to do it, you'll have to buy that separately.
