| Belkin Announces Universal HDMI to VGA Adapter Kit with Audio | ||||||
Today’s classroom is a mixed technology environment comprised of legacy VGA equipment (e.g., old projectors, early-generation interactive whiteboards) and new HDMI-enabled devices (e.g., iPads, Apple TV, Chromebooks). Budget constraints can restrict the purchase of new equipment, forcing educators to use what the school currently has available. There is no easy way to integrate existing equipment with new devices, creating a disconnect that hinders collaboration in the classroom. “Integrating legacy equipment with new devices can be a challenging and time-consuming task,” said Jon Roepke, director, Business Division, Belkin International. “Belkin’s Universal HDMI to VGA Adapter with Audio is a plug and play solution that bridges the technology gap at minimal cost. Teachers and administers can now expand the useful life of current devices while still developing a 21st century classroom.” Belkin’s new adapter kit converts digital HDMI video signals into an analog signal plus audio output required by the existing VGA-dominant school infrastructures. Key features of the Universal HDMI to VGA Adapter Kit with Audio include: * All Inclusive. HDMI-f to VGA-f Adapter, HDMI-m to HDMI-m converter, 3.5 mm audio cable — 1 M, and “anyone can install” instructions. * Plug and Play. No drivers, software, or external power adapters needed. * Tried and Trusted. Tested in USA-based labs and FCC and CE certified. * Complete Compatibility. Supports Apple TV, Chromecast, Chromebook with HDMI, Raspberry Pi, HDMI laptops, and other HDMI output devices. Pricing & Availability Belkin’s Universal HDMI to VGA Adapter Kit with Audio plans to be available globally by end of June for an MSRP of $39.99 through its network of authorized channel partners.
