I want to take a USB camera and split the video feed from that camera to two different computers, would this adapter accomplish this?

No, one cable transfer data but the other one is only for extra power, is a cable recomended for external units
880166
No, this probably isn't what you're looking for. Only one side of the cable can transfer data, and the other is for power only.

Sorry never used it as a splitter before. Basically needed it to power a external harddrive on my older computer. The USB adapters on it didn't have enough power on a single adapter so I needed to plug it simultaneously into two ports to get the power it required.
880168
Nope. The cable serves as a way to draw additional power from diff USB ports, usually used for external hard drives.

No, this will not allow you to do that. The secondary USB connection is wired for power only, and in any case what you are describing is not possible with any cable, because USB communication is bidirectional.

No, it will not. It will only allow you to see the same image on two monitors. It is only electrically copying the output.

I have never done this so I can't answer definitely. Certainly you can get the video over across the adaptor. I'm not sure the audio will come over, though. You might want to Google that and see.

You are correct, this box only boosts and splits the identical output to 2 monitors. If you want to EXTEND your desktop to a second or third monitor, and your equipment doesn't already have a dual monitor video card (or if it is a laptop), then you need a device like the Plugable (brand) devices found on Amazon, which are USB to VGA/DVI/HDMI Adapters. There are at least 3 different models, one for USB 2.0 and one for USB 3.0, at various max resolutions and prices. Hope this helps!

I really cannot think of a reason why this would not work. As long as the PC has a USB cable run between the monitor and the PC, the adapter should work. The monitor at this point is just acting as a hub for any USB devices

Yes as previously said you would need active adapters. Not sure if you already know this but a splitter just recreates the same image on 2 screens. If you want 4 monitors displaying 2 monitors worth of images then yes that would work. If you want 4 separate images on each monitor then you need active adapters for each port.

I have 2 pairs of the adapters, but they are used separately (independent pairs) to connect the modem to 2 PCs, successfully. I have not tried with cameras.

It will work as a transport for the video/audio signals, yes. You will need some type of video editing program with which to capture the stream of data coming from your camera through this device. Windows Movie Maker, for instance. The best way (quality) to pull video from your camera is using its IEEE-1394 port (FireWire), but the HP Envy doesn't have that port.Edit - this worked fine for me. You can always return if there are issues.

This adapter is design to connect Mac products (iPhone, iPad) to a USB outlets. Nothing to do with cameras. Look for camera model to computer cord.

The USB port is used to power the converter. You have two options to cable the video feed: 1.The yellow plug or 2. S-Video.

I assume you're talking about a laptop with a separate video output or a video card with digital and VGA outputs. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. That's a much simpler way to run with three monitors than mulitiple USB converters.

This splitter will allow you to see the same image as your desktop on more than one screen. For example, one infocus could be plugged into your desktop and the splitter would allow you to plug in another infocus to the splitter to show it on a different screen. If you do not have to them on at the same time, then it should be okay if you are running it to the same monitor. I hope this helps.

IF your computer has BOTH a vga and a dvi video output then its a qualified "yes"...but it depends on the video card...you would have one monitor hooked up to the vga out and one to the dvi out using this adapter. I assume you dont have a monitor with dvi input to test first...If you have only one video output, there are usb-based multiple monitor devices you might want to check out as an option.

No! this is not for a loptop, if your laptop has a bus card slot then you need an ieee 1394 cardbus adapter. if not then you should consider the usb to ieee adapter, but your computer may not be equipped to recieve video thru usb.

Yes, it will work with both USB 2.0 and 3.0; only the latter can take advantage of higher transfer speeds which you might need to capture video.

It will allow you to do that, but I was very disappointed with it and send it back. Kept disconneting itself. I just bought a cable on a usb to go from camera to computer and it takes no time at all! You will not be happy with this device.

This will work as long as the video files dont have DTS audio. You can plug an external hard drive into the usb port on the side.
