Devices with HDMI port in Type-C transmitter mode

Do you want to transmit devices like computers or document cameras that do not have a USB-C port but only HDMI?

Use an HDMI plug to USB-C socket adapter to convert an HDMI output of a computer/document camera into a USB-C input for the QuattroPod USB transmitter. Unlike the Type-A mode, no additional software installation is necessary. You can purchase this adapter from us if needed here:

NOTE: Audio transmission does not work with nReal devices. The adapter must be powered via a USB connection (DC5V) and the supplied micro-USB charging cable. Your computer’s USB-A port is sufficient. If needed, you can also purchase a Samsung power supply (5V/2A) from us here:
