StarTech HDVGADP2HD HDMI to HDMI and VGA Adapter with 2nd Screen Support

Overview :

The StarTech HDVGADP2HD is a versatile video adapter designed to bridge modern HDMI-equipped laptops and desktops with a variety of display hardware. It is utilized by business travelers, educators, and office professionals who frequently encounter different presentation environments and need a reliable “all-in-one” solution for connecting to projectors, monitors, or televisions.

Technically, the adapter features an HDMI male input and two female outputs: one HDMI and one VGA. It is designed for maximum flexibility, supporting a mirrored output where the same video signal is sent to both the HDMI and VGA displays simultaneously (2nd screen support). The HDMI output supports high-definition resolutions up to 4K at 30Hz, while the VGA output supports resolutions up to 1920×1200 (1080p) at 60Hz. Because VGA is an analog signal that does not carry audio, the adapter includes a built-in 3.5mm audio jack to ensure sound can be routed to external speakers or the VGA display’s audio input.

Deployment is entirely plug-and-play, requiring no drivers or software installation. The compact, lightweight design makes it an ideal addition to a laptop bag. While the adapter is bus-powered via the HDMI source for most applications, it features an integrated Micro-USB power port to provide supplemental power if the video source provides insufficient voltage, ensuring a stable signal even with low-power devices like certain tablets or ultrabooks.

Key Features :

• 2-in-1 design provides both HDMI and VGA outputs from a single HDMI source.

• Supports mirrored video output to two displays simultaneously.

• High-definition support: HDMI up to 4K 30Hz; VGA up to 1080p 60Hz.

• Integrated 3.5mm audio port compensates for VGA’s lack of audio signal.

• Optional Micro-USB power input ensures compatibility with low-power HDMI sources.
