3. Setup and Installation
The WENTER USB to HDMI Adapter features a pre-installed driver for simplified setup. Follow these steps for installation:
- Step 1: Add Driver to Allow List
Before connecting the adapter, add its driver to your computer's security software's 'allow list' or trusted applications. This prevents the system from recognizing it as a dubious driver. - Step 2: Connect the Adapter
Plug the USB end of the adapter into an available USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port on your computer. Connect an HDMI cable from the adapter's HDMI port to your display device (monitor, HDTV, or projector). - Step 3: Open the Device
Once connected, your computer should detect the device. Open the device named "USBDISPLAY" (or similar) from 'My Computer' or 'This PC'. - Step 4: Install the Driver
Inside the "USBDISPLAY" device, choose the appropriate driver for your operating system (e.g., "UsbDisplay_macOS" for Mac or "WinUsbDisplay_Windows" for Windows). Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
The driver operates locally and does not require an internet connection or access your personal data. If prompted by security software, proceed with confidence after adding it to your trusted list.
