Description

StarTech HD2VGAE3 HDMI to VGA Adapter

Overview

The StarTech HD2VGAE3 is an active HDMI to VGA video adapter designed to connect modern laptops, desktops, or other HDMI sources to legacy VGA displays, projectors, or monitors. This is critical for environments that require integration with existing VGA infrastructure, such as older conference rooms, classrooms, or industrial control panels where replacing the display is not feasible. The adapter handles the digital-to-analog conversion, ensuring a usable video signal without requiring a separate graphics card or complex software configuration.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with any device outputting a standard HDMI video signal. It is designed to work with laptops, desktops, workstations, and media players that feature an HDMI output port. The VGA output is compatible with any display, monitor, or projector that accepts a standard 15-pin VGA input. It supports maximum resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz, ensuring clear video output for most standard display requirements.

Installation Notes

The adapter is bus-powered via the HDMI connection, meaning no external power adapter is required, simplifying deployment. The integrated cable is 7.5 inches long, with the overall unit measuring 9.2 inches, providing sufficient reach for most desktop setups. Operating temperature is between 0°C and 70°C, suitable for most standard indoor environments. Storage temperature ranges from -10°C to 80°C.
