dont know realy i got it cause the guy told me that it would work for my laptop to my flat screen.it plugs right in to the tv but not my laptop.so here it is.but thanks for the info.
what is needed is a tv with a dvi port and then you can plug the usb into your notebook etc etc if it has hdmi out. OR you can use it from a device that has a DVI out and hook it up to a tv or monitor with Hdmi input :) I use one on my pc to my monitor.
wonder if this will work on my iflip video camera it need hdmi cord the last cord the plug at the end was to big but the cord worked for the tv but other end was to big for the iflip. It need s a big hmdi plug with little hdmi plug I think ithats what dvi is.
