WyreStorm APO-DG-HDMI HDMI to USB-C Adapter / USB-A Passthrough / DP Alt Mode 4K60

Description

The APO-DG-HDMI is an HDMI plus USB-A to USB-C adapter designed to bridge HDMI-equipped laptops and WyreStorm USB-C casting dongles. It enables HDMI sources to interface with APO-DG1 and APO-DG2 dongles, expanding device interoperability across Synergy and Apollo product lines. This adapter converts HDMI output signals into DisplayPort Alt Mode streams over USB-C for compatible receivers.

Key features include DisplayPort Alt Mode 1.2 support and an integrated USB-A port to carry USB 2.0 data. The adapter supports video transmission up to 4K at 60Hz and preserves USB peripheral connectivity when paired with compatible WyreStorm transmitters. USB passthrough functionality is supported on systems that meet firmware requirements.

Technically, the APO-DG-HDMI supports DP Alt Mode 1.2 enabling 4K@60Hz video delivery to compatible USB-C casting dongles. USB data channels operate at USB 2.0 speeds to handle HID and low-bandwidth USB devices. The adapter is a compact passive solution that requires no external power from the host beyond the USB-C connection.

Connectivity is simplified: HDMI output from a laptop connects through the adapter to a USB-C casting dongle such as the APO-DG1 or APO-DG2. The adapter also interoperates with WyreStorm transmitters like the SW-640L-TX-W for wireless display of 4K60 content. USB passthrough to the PC for sharing connected USB devices is available after the DG2 firmware update.

This adapter is ideal in meeting rooms and presentation environments where existing HDMI laptops need to connect to USB-C casting dongles and wireless transmitters. It allows presenters to maintain native HDMI output while leveraging wireless display systems across Synergy and Apollo ecosystems. The compact form factor makes it easy to carry between workspaces and integrate into AV kits.

Installation is straightforward and user friendly – connect the HDMI source to the adapter and plug the USB-C end into the casting dongle. No drivers are required for basic video passthrough, though the latest firmware on connected dongles ensures full USB passthrough functionality. The adapter is built to industry norms for small AV accessories and fits into professional collaboration workflows.
