I”ve carried an HDMI to VGA adapter in my laptop bag for years just in case I needed to connect my laptop to an older VGA projector. I recently lost it (probably at a customer site) and decided to shop for a replacement on . The Rankie adapter is a great product and even includes an audio port – something I haven”t been able to find on others. It also has a 5v micro USB port to add power if needed. Overall great product at an amazing price!

This is a powered. or active. HDMI to VGA adapter. Normally. the power to convert an HDMI signal to VGA is provided through the HDMI connection. In some instances this power is either unavailable or is not sufficient to run the digital converter built into non-powered converters. This converter requires a 5VDC power source (your basic cellphone charger) and a USB to micro USB cable; neither of these are included with the adapter..**The converter can work with or without the external power option.**.If sufficient power is being supplied via the HDMI connection. then the external power isn’t required. However. you can always connect the external power regardless the power being supplied via the HDMI input..A nice feature of this adapter/converter is the 3.5mm stereo audio output jack. While the HDMI format is digital and carries the audio signal along with the video. VGA is analog and the cables do not carry audio. You will need to make an additional connection if audio is needed and the jack on the adapter is a nice convenience. I do not know if the audio jack passes any type of surround sound encoding information. Headphones can be plugged directly into the audio jack but according to other reviews its performance is dependent on various factors; it might work great. it might not. I suspect the audio signal would work better if it were amplified through a sound card or external amp. I have not used the audio output so I cannot speak to its function.***This is NOT a bi-directional adapter/converter. It only works in one direction; converting digital HDMI to analog VGA with an audio break out..While VGA is an old cable from the early days of personal computers. it can pass analog Hi-Def video signals..This is a high quality unit; fit. finish and video function are all first rate. The flexibility of having an active converter means it will work in any situation and especially in those situations where you need the extra power.

It works out of the box no problem. I haven”t used it for a extended period of time / long hours so I can”t say much more than that right now but I”ll update the review if needed. For the price it”s great!

We use it to convert our blue ray/digital video player to our projector. It works great at separating the sound and video from the HDMI. I didn”t connect the external power option. I”m not sure if would make it look or sound better. I”m happy with it as is.
