Compact HDMI-to-VGA adapter

The EN-Labs adapter converts a digital HDMI signal to an analogue VGA output using a built-in active chipset. It measures 15 cm end-to-end and weighs 36 g, so it fits tight spaces behind monitors or projectors. The short cable reduces strain on the source port and avoids blocking adjacent connectors. It is intended for PCs, laptops, Raspberry Pi boards, DVD players or any device with an HDMI male output.

Suits legacy displays.

This adapter suits users connecting modern HDMI sources to older VGA monitors, CRT screens or projectors that accept 480p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p signals. It also supports 1600 x 1200 for compatible displays. Buyers who need audio extraction must look elsewhere because the adapter carries video only. Anyone requiring 4K, 1440p or refresh rates above 60 Hz will need a different solution.

Handles 1080p and 1600 x 1200, stops at Full HD

The active converter comfortably drives 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz and lower resolutions such as 720p and 480p automatically. It also supports 1600 x 1200 where the display allows it. Headroom ends at Full HD; the chipset does not process 1440p, 4K or high-refresh-rate timings. No external power is required for the listed resolutions.

Questions about this item

Does my laptop need a specific HDMI version for this 15 cm adapter to output 1080p?

The adapter works with HDMI 1.3 and 1.4 sources, so any laptop with a standard HDMI port can drive 1080p through it.

Will a legacy monitor that only accepts 1600×1200 work with this converter?

Yes, the adapter lists 1600×1200 among its supported resolutions, so older VGA displays at that resolution will display an image.

How can I confirm the active DAC is converting the signal correctly after I plug it in?

The display should show a stable 480p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p picture without flicker; if the monitor reports one of those native resolutions, the conversion is working.
