Product Information

Full details

The StarTech.com HDMI to VGA Video Adaptor (HD2VGAA2) is designed for IT professionals and home users who need to connect modern HDMI-enabled devices, such as ultrabooks or desktops, to legacy VGA monitors and projectors. It provides the essential benefit of high-definition video output paired with 2-channel analog audio via a dedicated 3.5mm jack; however, users should note that this adapter does not support HDCP-protected content, which may restrict its use with certain streaming services or media players.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this adapter support HDCP content?

No, this adapter is intended for use with non-HDCP compliant content only.

Can I use this to connect my VGA laptop to an HDMI monitor?

No, this is an HDMI to VGA adapter, not a bidirectional device.

Does the adapter require external power?

No, it is bus-powered through the HDMI port.

What is the maximum resolution supported?

It supports PC resolutions up to 1920x1200 and HDTV resolutions up to 1080p.

Does the audio output support surround sound?

No, the 3.5mm socket supports 2-channel analog audio output only.

Troubleshooting

No image appears on the projector or monitor

Ensure the source device resolution is set to a standard supported by the VGA display (max 1920x1200) and verify that the HDMI source is not sending HDCP-protected content.

Video works but there is no sound

Confirm that the 3.5mm audio cable is securely connected to the adapter and the sound system, and check that the audio output settings on your computer are set to the HDMI output device.

Flickering or distorted image

Check that the VGA cable is firmly seated in both the adapter and the monitor. If the issue persists, try a shorter VGA cable to minimize signal loss.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • No external power supply required
  • Supports high resolutions up to 1080p/1920x1200
  • Separate audio extraction via 3.5mm jack
  • Compact and lightweight for easy transport

Cons

  • Not compatible with HDCP-encrypted content
  • Requires a separate 3.5mm cable for audio transmission
  • Limited to legacy VGA display standards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: plug the male HDMI connector into your source device, connect your VGA cable to the adapter's output, and attach your audio speakers to the 3.5mm jack if needed.

Compatibility Note: This adapter is strictly for HDMI-to-VGA conversion. It will not work in reverse (VGA-to-HDMI). It is intended for non-HDCP content; if you attempt to play protected media (such as some Blu-ray discs or encrypted streaming content), the signal may fail to display.

Care: To ensure longevity, avoid bending the cable at harsh angles at the connector points. Keep the connectors free of dust and debris, and store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
