Northampton, UK – September 25, 2014 – StarTech.com, a leading manufacturer of hard-to-find connectivity parts, has announced the release of two Ultra HD 4K USB 3.0 Video Adapters, including a USB 3.0 to DisplayPort 1.2 4K Video Adapter (SKU: USB32DP4K) and a USB 3.0 to HDMI 4K Video Adapter (SKU: USB32HD4K). The new adapters enable users to connect their USB 3.0-equipped laptop or desktop computer to a 4K television, display or projector, even if the computer does not natively support 4K video.
The adapters feature a chipset that offers a true plug-and-play experience. When connected to a host computer, the adapters will automatically verify that the newest drivers are installed and if necessary download the most recent versions and prompt users to update.
