Product Description
The HDMI to VGA Adapter Converter - Male to Female with 3.5mm Audio Jack lets a device with an HDMI output drive a display that only has a VGA input.
What each spec means in use
- HDMI male input: plugs directly into the HDMI port on a laptop, desktop PC, graphics card, DVR, NVR or media player. HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface.
- VGA female output: accepts a VGA cable running to a monitor, projector or older television. VGA stands for Video Graphics Array.
- Digital to analogue conversion: the adapter turns the digital HDMI video signal into an analogue VGA signal.
- 3.5mm audio output jack: carries sound separately when the HDMI source includes audio. VGA does not carry sound, so this is how you reach external speakers or an audio system.
- Plug and play: no drivers or software to install.
What else you need
Two cables sit outside the adapter. A VGA cable runs from the VGA port to the display. A 3.5mm audio lead runs from the jack to your speakers, if you want sound.
Where it fits
The body is compact, so it travels with a laptop for presentations. It also suits permanent AV installs and CCTV monitoring points where a VGA screen is still in service, for example a DVR or NVR with an HDMI output feeding an older VGA monitor.
