60hz Thunderbolt to HDMI 2.0?

[megalaser]

Hi, In theory the 2013 Mac Pro should run 60hz into 4K TV's that have an HDMI 2.0 input, but of course the HDMI out on the NMP is not HDMI 2.0 . . . so has anyone managed to find a way to get the Thunderbolt connector to feed a 4K TV 60hz via Thunderbolt to HDMI 2.0? Just wondering if anyones discovered an adaptor or any other way to do it? Thanks

Where did you read this?

Hi, I didn't read it anywhere - the NMP can output 60hz 4K via thunderbolt. 4K TV's can accept 4k 60hz via an HDMI 2.0 input - I am wondering if anyone has found a way to make these two connect together and work. Thanks

You might be able to use a DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor as only the protocol has changed, not the wire.

Edit: Internet says no:

So nope, no way at present to convert. Your best hope would be an active DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 adapter that doesn't seem to exist yet.
