Cirago Launches New USB 2.0 to HDMI Display Adapter
USB to HDMI adapters aren’t anything new really, or are they? This new one from Cirago claims that it’s the first known adapter with built-in audio on a single cable. The UDA2000 is for both Mac and PC allowing full 1080p at 16:9 with audio on the same cable. The adapter has an MSRP of $59.99, which isn’t too bad really.

Cirago International, a leading manufacturer of multimedia centers, storage and wireless solutions, today announced the launch and immediate availability of its new USB 2.0 to HDMI Display Adapter (UDA2000) that enables PC and Mac users to easily expand their screen real estate to HDMI monitors—including projectors, LCD and plasma TVs—with full 1080p resolution and built-in stereo audio on a single connector.
Designed for plug-and-play ease, the UDA2000 eliminates the need to install additional internal video cards or run separate audio/video connectors, making it fast, easy and affordable to add up to six HDMI-compatible monitors to a single PC (four on a Mac). The adapter also comes with an HDMI to DVI adapter to add DVI-based displays for even greater display flexibility.
Compatible with any computer over a USB 2.0 port, the UDA2000 is ideally suited for both home and business use. The adapter supports desktop display mirror, extended mode, multi-screen mode and screen rotation mode with automatic recognition of monitor type, resolution and features to eliminate manual configuration of ports and capabilities. Featuring low power consumption via a USB bus power supply, the adapter is energy-friendly compared to the 750w power consumption of an additional video card and will not overtax the system.
With its DisplayLink chipset DL165, the Cirago USB 2.0 to HDMI Adapter offers exceptional performance with no latency or quality loss, even at a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9 full HD 1080p video streaming up to 1920×1080 pixels at 32-bit color and built-in digital audio.
“With its plug-and-play ease and hot-swappable capabilities, this product brings multi-monitor applications into the mainstream,” said Tenny Sin, Executive Vice President at Cirago. “It is especially ideal for laptop users who want to expand their desktop space and their horizons.”
Available now at Cirago.com and other major electronics retails for $59.99 MSRP, the UDA2000 comes with one USB 2.0 to HDMI Display Adapter, one HDMI to DVI Adapter, a USB 2.0 cable, user’s manual and installation disk. For more information, visit www.cirago.com
