Run the video and audio signals from select laptops, extenders, and devices direct to a VGA projector or monitor with this HDMI to VGA Converter with Audio - StarTechfrom StarTech. Designed to allow users to display presentations and documents on a VGA projector or monitor, this converter features an HDMI port supporting all devices with an HDMI interface. It also has a 3.5mm audio output so you can separately run audio since the VGA output is only capable of passing video. You can run up to 1920 x 1200 resolution video signals, including Full HD 1080p.

This converter requires no power source, as it gets its power from your HDMI source, but because it converts both video and audio, the power coming from your HDMI source may not be enough, depending on the source. For this reason this converter also has a USB port for supplementary power -- whenever your HDMI source doesn't provide enough power, just plug in a USB cable running from your computer, or connect a USB power adapter, and you'll have sufficient power. Everything works plug-and-play with no setup required. This converter is very compact and an easy accessory to carry in your bag.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this device be used to route S/PDIF input to USB output? (I.e. could you record audio on the PC using S/PDIF as the source).

A: I don't think so. The manual says: S/PDIF IN "Notes: The audio signal only passes through to the S/PDIF OUT. The S/PDIF IN port on the Audio Adapter supports two-channel audio, but does not support 5.1 or 7.1 audio." If the digital audio goes only from the optical in to the optical out, and that's pretty worthless and it won't convert to USB. (If the PC has optical in, you wouldn't even need this.)

Q: 2. Does this one work with logitech z5500 5.1

A: Yes, I am using the same speakers right now

Q: 3. Will this work with windows 10?

A: Yes, this is Windows 10 compatible.

Q: 4. Is your "StarTech ICUSBAUDIO7D" accept USB input? I want to use it for my laptop, to connect to a Z506 Logitech speakers (5.1)

A: No, the StarTech 7.1 USB Audio Adapter External Sound Card BH #STICUSBAUD7D only accepts speakers with 3.5mm or SPDIF connections.

Q: 5. It says here that it works on Mac but in StarTech web page there are no drives or especification that it works with OSX.Do you think it will work on a Macbook Pro 2013 with OSX 10.10?

A: The answer to your question is a resounding yes. It is fully compatible w/ OSX, I have used it for some time on multiple versions of OSX. I can not however tell you definitively if OSX 10.10 will be an issue. But from my experience w/ this device I highly doubt there will be an issue.Runs great, the only issue I have w/ this device is optical input outputs, not inherently being routable. You may use a 3rd party software i.e. Audio Hijack to accomplish this. Hope this gives you peace of mind. I would highly recommend this device.

Q: 6. I see there are mini switches on this, what numbers to do you have on?

A: Hi Maria -Assuming that you want Analog audio out, leave all the DIP switches off. If you want digital audio out (AES) the switch positions are silkscreened on the unit. Just a note: Some Blackmagic mini converters use one switch for processing on or off which you'll need in the on position for the unit to work. This doesn't apply to this one (SDI to Audio) but to some of the others available in this product line.

Q: 7. What is the latency between the SDI video and analogue audio?

A: According to Blackmagic Design, The Mini Converter SDI to HDMI has a delay of less than a single line of video, except when it needs to convert PsF to P, which will take one frame. The Analog to SDI has a four line delay.

Q: 8. What is the latency between the SDI video and analogue audio?

A: According to Blackmagic Design, the Mini Converter SDI to HDMI has a delay of less than a single line of video, except when it needs to convert PsF to P, which will take one frame. The Analog to SDI has a four line delay.

Q: 9. can i plug any speaker into the subwoofer port? because I have one medium speaker and one small one.

A: As long as the speaker has a 1/8" / 3.5 mm compatibility it would work due to the device supporting full 7.1 audio output.

Q: 10. I would like to derive audio wordclock from HDMI. My ADC will accept AES as wordclock. Can I use this with CONVMBHS24K6G "HDMI to SDI 6G Mini Converter" to embed silent audio (perhaps from unconnected analog inputs?) and then extract the silence to use as wordclock with this device?

A: I'm not sure if it is necessary to feed silent audio but you certainly can. If there is no audio on an SDI track the AES audio out will be silent.
