Overview
- The Simplecom CM201 bridges the gap between legacy VGA equipment and modern HDMI displays. It converts analogue VGA signals to digital HDMI output with full HD 1080p resolution, making it ideal for organisations with older PCs, laptops, or presentation equipment that need to connect to contemporary displays.
Simple plug-and-play installation requires no drivers or software. The converter draws power from a standard USB port or wall adapter, eliminating the need for external power supplies. Audio is handled via a 3.5mm input, allowing sound from your source device to be transmitted alongside video.
The CM201 is commonly used in boardrooms, training facilities, and offices where legacy computers still serve important functions but need to connect to modern HDMI projectors and monitors. It supports multiple VGA resolutions and is compatible with HDMI 1.3 displays. Note that the converter is unidirectional—it only converts VGA to HDMI, not the reverse.
