1.Introduction

This USB to HDMI Adapter enables you to connect one more monitor, LCD or projector to a

computer with a USB 2.0 port. For desktop users adding an extra monitor via USB connection is

easier than ever without having to open the computer chassis to install an internal video card.

Once

theinstallationisdone,theUSB‐attachedmonitorsoonwak esup.Nofunctionkeyhassleto

swapasecondmonitor.

With this handy adapter, you can enjoy many benefits brought by an add‐on monitor. The most

obviousoneisthatyougetmoredesktopareatohave moreapplications

visible at one time. For

example,you may workononemonitor while your familywatchingvideoonthe other.Nomore

stacking windows within the confines of a single display. Or you may span an application, e.g.

spreadsheets, across two sides of displays. What’s more, the adapter is hot pluggable.

 If your

system performance is an important issue when using multiple monitors. Anotherbenefit of this

adapter is that it uses little computer resource; ensuring users get quality display without
