Active HDMI to VGA converter
This active converter translates a digital HDMI signal into an analog VGA video stream and a separate 3.5mm stereo audio output. It connects newer laptops or computers with an HDMI port to legacy projectors or monitors that only accept VGA input. No drivers or external power supply are required because the unit draws power directly from the HDMI source. The durable metal housing protects the internal circuitry for reliable long-term use.
Supported input resolutions
The device accepts a defined list of input resolutions, all refreshed at 60Hz, ranging from 640 x 480 up to 1920 x 1080. Intermediate steps include 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 720, 1280 x 768, 1280 x 800, 1280 x 1024, 1360 x 768, and 1600 x 1200. Signals outside this specific list or at higher refresh rates will not be processed. Buyers needing 4K input, high-refresh gaming modes, or non-standard timings cannot use this adapter.
Bus-powered operation
The converter operates entirely from the 5V supply available on the HDMI port, eliminating the need for a separate USB or mains power connection. This makes it practical for mobile use with ultrabooks or tablets where spare ports are scarce. If the source device cannot deliver sufficient current on its HDMI output, the adapter will not function. Builders integrating this into kiosks or rack mounts should verify the host port power capability before deployment.

| Features | The Pro HDMI to VGA and Audio Converter is an ideal solution for connecting newer laptops or computers that output an HDMI signal to a legacy display, such as projectors or monitors, which accept a VGA and 3.5mm stereo audio input. This device converts the digital HDMI A/V signals to an analog VGA video and stereo audio signal. Many products on the market, particularly cables, claim this capability; however, most of these products only "adapt" from HDMI to VGA. Without an active conversion process, there are very few devices that are able to output an analog VGA and audio signal from |

Questions about this item
Should I choose the version with the 3.5mm audio output or a video-only model?
This converter includes a 3.5mm stereo female port alongside the VGA output, so you get both video and audio from a single HDMI source without needing a separate cable for sound.
What does the 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz listing mean when I plug it into my monitor?
The converter actively translates a digital HDMI signal up to 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz into an analog VGA signal your legacy display can show, with no driver installation required.
Does the HDMI input limit the resolution or refresh rate I can actually use?
The HDMI female input accepts standard resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz, and the active conversion caps the output at those same supported input timings for VGA and audio.
