Wally Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I think that's because the pinout doesn't map directly between dp and hdmi. I've learned that when it comes to cables, physical connection is only 1 part of the equation. Go save yourself a headache and buy a mini-dp to mini-dp cable from amazon or something.

HackPerception Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 , The Vive Pro is a Displayport 1.2+ device. It is simply not compatible with any HDMI device, cable, converter, or adapter. The reason you're seeing this error is due to the fact that HDMI is simply unable to handle the signal required to drive the Pro and you cannot successfully use an HDMI device at any point in the signal chain. We are recommending the 3 foot variation of the following mDP->mDP cable as it's the most reliable we've found to date and it's under $10: http://a.co/d/5gaV7Zd. Not all mDP cables are equal, if you try to use a cable other than the one recommended, ensure that it can support 4K signals at a minimum of 20gbps and is no more than 6 feet long.
