How to choose video cables and adapters

Start with the source output and the screen input. Check compatibility with the exact device model, connector format and whether each connection requires a plug or socket. Signal direction matters when converting between interfaces. Choose cable length around the equipment layout, and compare the stated resolution and refresh rate with the display mode you intend to use.

  • HDMI cables: connect an HDMI source to an HDMI screen. For 4K use, compare the resolution and refresh rate stated for the individual cable rather than relying on the connector name alone.
  • DisplayPort cables and adapters: options include DisplayPort cables and connections to HDMI or VGA. Mini DisplayPort uses a different connector size from standard DisplayPort.
  • HDMI to VGA adapters: provide a connection from an HDMI source to a VGA screen. Some Ugreen adapters also list micro USB and 3.5 mm audio connections.
  • RCA and SCART converters: convert an RCA or SCART signal to HDMI. Match the converter to the source connection and the specified conversion direction.
  • HDMI USB capture devices: support video capture through a USB connection. Compare the listed input and recording capabilities rather than treating a resolution in the product name as a complete specification.

HDMI and DisplayPort cables suit screen connections, while adapters and converters address different video interfaces. HDMI to Micro HDMI adapters provide another connector format, and HDMI USB capture devices serve recording tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a video cable and an adapter?

A video cable connects equipment using the connectors fitted at its ends. A video adapter accommodates different connections, while an RCA or SCART to HDMI converter converts the signal.

Can an HDMI to VGA adapter work in both directions?

An HDMI to VGA adapter should not be assumed to work in both directions. The stated HDMI to VGA direction means an HDMI source connects to a VGA screen.

What should I check when choosing a video cable for 4K?

Compare the video cable's stated resolution and refresh rate with the capabilities of the source and screen. An HDMI or DisplayPort connector alone does not establish every supported display mode.

What is an HDMI USB video capture device used for?

An HDMI USB video capture device captures an HDMI video signal through a USB connection. Choose an HDMI USB capture device by its stated input and recording capabilities.
