UGREEN CM101 HDMI To VGA+HDMI+3.5mm Converter

In-Depth Details

1. Functionality

The UGREEN CM101 (40744) is a multiport HDMI converter that allows one HDMI source (such as a laptop, gaming console, or streaming device) to be connected simultaneously to an HDMI display and a VGA display, while also outputting analog audio through a 3.5mm jack.

2. Simultaneous Dual Display

• HDMI and VGA outputs can work at the same time, making it ideal for mirror display setups.

• Both outputs share the same resolution and cannot display different content simultaneously (no extended desktop support).

3. Audio Output

• VGA does not transmit audio; therefore, the 3.5mm audio jack allows you to connect external speakers or headphones.

• Audio is extracted from the HDMI input and output separately via this port.

4. Video Resolution

• Supports video resolutions up to 1920x1080 @ 60Hz (Full HD).

• Backward compatible with 720p, 480p, and lower resolutions for legacy displays.

5. Build Quality

• Compact and solid ABS plastic casing for durability.

• Gold-plated connectors ensure stable signal transmission and resistance to corrosion.

• No external power is required in most cases, but a Micro-USB port is available for additional power support if the source device cannot deliver enough current (common with low-power devices).

6. Compatibility

• Compatible with laptops, desktops, game consoles (like PS4/PS5/Xbox), media players, and set-top boxes.

• Not compatible with devices that use HDCP encryption to prevent unauthorized output to non-HDCP compliant displays.

7. Plug and Play

• Requires no software or drivers.

• Just connect and it’s ready to use.

8. Use Cases

• Ideal for connecting modern HDMI-only devices to older VGA projectors or monitors.

• Useful in business presentations, classroom settings, or home entertainment setups requiring audio-video splitting.
