2x1 HDMI® + VGA to HDMI Converter Switch w/ Automatic and Priority Switching – 1080p
StarTech ID: VS221VGA2HD
The VS221VGA2HD HDMI & VGA Auto Switch lets you connect an HDMI and a VGA audio/video source to the
same HDMI display or projector, and automatically or manually switch between which video source is displayed.
The multi-input A/V switch supports video resolution up to 1920x1200 (1080p) and includes mounting hardware
for a tidy professional installation.
One Switch for VGA and HDMI
The A/V switch features built-in VGA conversion, enabling you to connect an HDMI and a VGA video source to
the same HDMI display without the use of additional adapters or scalers. The switch also supports EDID passthrough, EDID copy, and EDID emulation to ensure your VGA and HDMI native resolutions will be maintained
between both source connections.
Effortless Control
The VS221VGA2HD ensures hassle-free operation with two different auto switching modes: automatic switching
that detects and selects a newly connected device, as well as priority selection which lets you choose which port
should be activated by default for automatic switching.
Focus on the Presentation, Not Boardroom Connections
This A/V switch has been designed with the boardroom and classroom in mind: the VS221VGA2HD features
VGA and HDMI inputs to support a wide range of devices, and the built-in converter makes it easy to connect to
the room’s display without the use of additional adapters. Plus, automatic switching encourages on-the-fly
collaboration among students or co-workers, by making it easy to share your projector between multiple source
devices.
