Can I connect this converter into a projector's VGA port and plug in a Google Chromecast, then stream content from a PC to project out?

My guess is that it wouldn't work properly since you won't be able to play any sound from the Google Chromecast. HDMI includes audio signals but VGA does not (only video). Accordingly, you might be able to get the video signal on the projector by using the adapter but you will loose the audio signal (unless the Chromecast has a separate audio output).

No, you can't do that. This adapter has a 'male' HDMI connector. The Chromecast has also a 'male' HDMI connector, so they can't connect each other. What you need is a projector with a HDMI input for video, so you can connect the Chromecast directly to it.

This will work with Google Chromecast. The Chromecast, however, needs to be powered by a USB port.

You would need an HDMI gender changer for the Chromecast (the Chromecast only has a 'Male' HDMI plug, so you need a double-'Female' changer to connect the HDMI-to-VGA product to it (like this: http://www.amazon.com/PTC-Premium-Series-Female-Coupler/dp/B001EPVOQY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1393982874&sr=8-3&keywords=hdmi+female+to+female ) (not affiliated) ), but I see no obvious reason it wouldn't work. Tempted to try it now that you bring it up. :-)

No, what you want is a micro USB to HDMI adapter to do video out. Easier than that is using a Chromecast or other dongle to mirror the screen. But if you insist on cabling out, get the adapter and connect to any HDMI compliant screen using pretty much any HDMI cable.

Unfortunatly not, this device goes From VGA to HDMI. You would need a laptop with vga and projector with HDMI

Not sure, you may need a USB (to your camera) to VGA adaptor (to the projector) converter

Yes, I set one up to send VGA and Audio to a projector and it worked well. Added two additional classrooms -- those two converters were shipped from China and took a few week to arrive. Look for Prime or US shipping for speedy delivery.

No, unless you can find an file browser that can stream chromcast from the app itself. Maybe in the future corsair may add it to their native app

This projector has a hdmi port, which is what is needed to have chromecast. So yes its compatible

Hi Christopher, You can plug your chromecast on any of the "HDMI IN" ports of the receiver. -Anthony

It should work. I assume that you want both the computer and the TV connected to the projector. You need 3 male-male VGA cables, one from TV to switch; one from computer to switch, and one from switch to projector.

I'd say no. Really all you have to do is hook tv to computer. will need to make sure you have decent graphics card. HDMI output is the easiest. you basically set up tv as second monitor. your computer can't really send wifi signal or blutooth signals, which i believe chrome cast uses. even if you could make it work, I believe their would be latency issues.

Yes, absolutely. I have personally done this for exactly the reason/need you are in streaming Chromecast. And, there are many other excellent features this device performs (e.g. re-broadcasting wifi signal as a repeater for further wifi coverage.). An excellent investment!

Yup, works just fine. I have a HTPC, XBOX 360 and Chromecast connected to it. In fact, this is exactly why I got it. You'll like it.

I frequently use my projector with a Dell lap top running Google Chrome. If you can use some operating system on ipad, it probably will allow a second display. specify the output display as an output to a computer output connector that can connect to the projector. Then use the projector functions to accept computer input. Sorry I cannot guaranty that this will will work.

This converter is made to connect an HDMI output on a computer to a VGA input on a monitor (or tv). That is why it isn't working for you.
