[SOLVED] Can I get a hdmi to display port adapter?

[YeeYot]

Hi!

I have a new Optoma projector that only has a HDMI input but the computer only has a VGA and Display Port output.

What adapter can i use that will allow the projector to actually project from the PC?

I'm worried about buying an adapter and it only working one way.
The projector isnt for me so i wouldnt want to have the other person buying an adapter that won't work

Thanks!

Cable needs to be Displayport to Hdmi, these cables aren't Bi-directional.

It's unusual for a PC to have only VGA and DP and not Hdmi.
