HDMI to VGA converter or adapter. This device allows a user to connect a newer device with an HDMI output port (e.g., a laptop or gaming console) to an older display, monitor, or projector that only has a VGA input port.
The adapter features a male HDMI connector on one end and a female VGA port on the other.
It typically contains a built-in chip to convert the digital HDMI signal to an analog VGA signal.
