The adapters provide an easy way to increase productivity for graphics-intensive applications such as photo editing, graphic design, multimedia creation and other high-detail applications, by enabling users to connect their laptop or desktop PC to a 4K display, even if the computer is unable to output 4K video.
Northampton, UK - October 1, 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.
