This USB 3.1 C adapter helps you transmit digital audio and 4K video from your tablet, laptop, Chromebook, MacBook, smartphone or PC to an HDMI-enabled television, monitor or projector. It's an ideal tool for giving video presentations in conference rooms and classrooms, editing multiple documents on a larger screen, or streaming video for digital signage in crystal-clear 4K.By connecting the self-storing USB-C cable to a source device that supports USB DisplayPort Alt Mode, you can output 4K video and digital audio to a compatible monitor, television or projector without installing special software drivers.To send digital audio and Ultra High Definition video to a 4K-ready HDMI television, projector or monitor, connect the HDMI port to the display using an HDMI cable (such as Tripp Lite's P568-Series cables, sold separately). The USB to HDMI 4K adapter supports video resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 (4K x 2K) at 30 Hz, as well as HDCP 1.4 and HDMI 1.4 compatibility. It's backward compatible with 1080p displays, allowing you to use it with older equipment.The USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 port provides power output up to 5 amps (100 watts), which is more than sufficient for charging and powering the connected source device, such as a MacBook or Chromebook. Just connect the device's AC wall charger to the USB-C PD port.The USB-A port accepts USB peripherals, such as a flash drive, mouse, keyboard or printer, and provides up to 1.5 amps (7.5 watts) for charging and powering mobile devices.
