Collection: HDMI Adapters & Extractors

All three carry the same HDMI signal — the only difference is the physical connector size. Standard HDMI (Type A) is the full-size connector on TVs and most AV equipment. Mini HDMI (Type C) is roughly half the size and found on some older cameras, tablets and laptops. Micro HDMI (Type D) is the smallest format, used on compact cameras, certain smartphones and ultrabooks. Passive adapters and cables convert between all three sizes without signal loss. Always check which type your device uses before ordering. Browse HDMI Adapters & Extractors for all options.

Many modern HDMI audio extractors support 4K pass-through, including HDR formats, but you must check the specification of the specific product. An extractor rated for HDMI 2.0 will support 4K at 60 Hz with HDR10; older HDMI 1.4-based extractors cap at 4K/30 Hz or limited HDR support. Always match the extractor's HDMI version to the highest resolution source you plan to use. If your source is 1080p, an HDMI 1.4 extractor is sufficient.

Yes — if your laptop has a mini HDMI, micro HDMI, USB-C (with DisplayPort Alt Mode) or DisplayPort output, a passive or active adapter converts the signal to standard HDMI for connection to a TV or monitor. For USB-C to HDMI you will need an active adapter that includes signal conversion electronics. Passive mini/micro HDMI to standard HDMI adapters simply change the connector size with no signal processing required. Check our USB & USB-C Adapters for USB-C to HDMI options and AV & Audio Adapters for other conversions.

Most HDMI audio extractors output PCM stereo (2.0) over the analogue RCA or 3.5mm output, and LPCM or bitstream (Dolby Digital/DTS passthrough) over the digital optical or coaxial output. Some higher-specification extractors support Dolby Atmos or DTS:X passthrough over the digital output to a compatible AV receiver. Note that most extractors downmix multi-channel audio to stereo on the analogue output — if you need full surround sound, route the digital output to a capable AV receiver or soundbar.

Passive HDMI adapters that simply change connector size (micro/mini to standard) introduce no signal degradation — the HDMI signal passes through unchanged. Active adapters that perform format conversion (e.g. HDMI to VGA or DisplayPort) re-encode the signal, which can affect latency and quality depending on the adapter's internal chipset. For critical applications such as gaming or broadcast monitoring, use high-quality active adapters from reputable sources. Short passive adapter cables or couplers have no practical quality impact at standard HDMI distances. See also Video Converters for more complex conversion needs.

Yes — an HDMI splitter takes one HDMI input and distributes it to multiple HDMI outputs simultaneously, all showing the same content. Active splitters include a signal repeater to maintain signal quality across all outputs; passive Y-splitters are only suitable for very short runs and do not amplify the signal. For installations distributing to multiple rooms or screens at different resolutions, a matrix switch allows you to route any source to any display independently.
