FAQ
What devices is this Micro HDMI to VGA adapter compatible with?
This adapter is designed for source devices with a Micro HDMI (Type D) output port. This includes many smartphones, tablets, ultrabooks, compact cameras, and some mini-PCs. It outputs to any display, projector, or TV with a standard VGA input and a separate 3.5mm audio input for sound.
Does this adapter support audio as well as video?
Yes. It is a converter with audio, extracting the audio signal from the HDMI source and outputting it through a dedicated 3.5mm mini-phone stereo audio jack. You will need a standard 3.5mm audio cable to connect this jack to your display's audio input or external speakers.
What does 'HDCP' support mean for this adapter?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a form of digital copy protection. This adapter is HDCP compliant, meaning it can properly handshake with HDCP-enabled source devices like Blu-ray players, streaming sticks, or gaming consoles. This allows you to watch protected content on a VGA display without encountering a blank screen or error message.
Is this a passive adapter or an active converter?
This is an active converter. It actively processes the digital HDMI signal to convert it into an analog VGA signal. Active converters are required for a reliable, stable picture when converting from digital to analog, unlike simple passive cable adapters which only work for specific signal types.
