Overview
- The Simplecom CM102 solves a common connectivity challenge: bridging HDMI source devices to VGA displays. This active converter processes digital HDMI signals and outputs both video via VGA and audio via 3.5mm, eliminating the need for separate audio cables.
Built-in chipset technology ensures reliable signal conversion across a wide range of devices, from MacBooks and Intel NUCs to PS4s, Android TV boxes, and streaming devices. The converter supports full HD resolutions up to 1920×1080 at 60Hz, making it suitable for presentations, entertainment, and professional applications.
Power is derived directly from the HDMI port itself, so no external power supply is required in most cases. A USB backup power option is included for scenarios where the HDMI source provides insufficient power. The detachable HDMI cable adds flexibility for cable management and replacement.
