Belkin Announces Universal HDMI to VGA Adapter Kit with Audio
Belkin, a trusted leader of technology solutions for office, classroom, IT infrastructure, and mobile environments, today announced availability of its new Universal HDMI to VGA Adapter Kit with Audio, the only branded, multi-purpose adapter kit that gives existing legacy equipment complete compatibility with new digital devices.
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:
Belkin will showcase the new Universal HDMI to VGA Adapter with Audio along with its complete line of education solutions at ISTE 2015, which takes place June 28-July 1 in Philadelphia (Booth No. 620). Belkin Education solutions are designed to enrich student and educator experiences with technology in the modern classroom. Belkin provides solutions that address collaboration (Tablet Stage and Belkin Stage app), protection (Air Protect Sleeve), and connectivity.
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.
