HDMI to USB - how it works
An adapter for HDMI to USB can be very helpful, especially when an end device does not have an HDMI connection. In this article we will show you exactly how this works.
This is how HDMI on USB works
If you are using a laptop that is more of a small netbook or ultrabook, a suitable HDMI connection may be missing.
- First of all, you need an adapter so that you can even connect an HDMI device via USB connection. There are many of these on Amazon.
- Once you have the adapter, the rest is easy.
- Plug the adapter with the USB port into a USB slot on the end device, for example into your laptop.
- Now you can plug the HDMI cable from the screen or the projector into the adapter and thus connect the two.
- In addition to the conventional USB ports such as 2.0 and 3.0, there are also adapters that you can plug into a smartphone thanks to the micro USB port. So you can connect your phone to the TV. Many of these adapters also have other features such as an integrated card reader and a normal USB port.
