Atlona Technologies Releases USB-to-HDMI Adapter

By Bryant Frazer / December 16, 2008

Device Outputs Video at up to 1600x1200 Resolution

Designed for applications ranging from digital signage to home theater, the HDPiX takes video in at 34 Mbps via USB cable, then outputs it at 720p, or a maximum resolution of 1600×1200 pixels, to an HDTV via HDMI. Audio is transferred via the computer’s 3.5mm stereo output rather than via USB to maintain more bandwidth for video. The audio is then embedded with the video and transferred out on the same HDMI cable.

The HDPiX is slated to ship within the next week at an MSRP of $179.
