does this adapator work with chromecast?

I have not tested this, but would guess it would. My setup is I have a surround sound system which several hdmi and other connections to it and one hdmi cable out to this and I am able to switch with no problems. I plan to test this out, but I do not currently have a chromecast.

This adaptor did not work with my chromecast, because my television's VGA port would not do 1080p. The Sanoxy adapter can support 1080p from the chromecast, and so the chromecast detects this and switches to 1080p mode. So the VGA connection gets switched to 1080p and my TV wouldn't do that. So it wouldn't work. So this adapter will only work for Chromecast if your TV/monitor supports 1080p mode on its VGA connector.

There is no reason to think that it wouldn't as Chromecast puts out a standard HDMI signal. The SANOXY device doesn't have much room on the back for connections and the Chromecast is a bit "fat" so you will probably need a short HDMI extension cable. As with any use of Chromecast, you will need to provide power to the Chromecast device as you probably already know (HDMI doesn't provide power like a USB connection can).

I don't know about chromecast. It doesn't switch by auto or manually, it plays what's on, either one or both simultaneously. It's more a splitter than a switch. It always sends the signal to all that are on.

I have not managed to get it to work. I installed the latest software update on the TV, but am still getting no signal when plugging in Chromecast (CC). Have you managed to get it to work?

I am not sure how you intend to use it with Chromecast. Are you intending to split the signal received by the Chromecast dongle? I would assume that it would work fine but I could be wrong. The Sanoxy unit worked well the HDMI output of my receiver to take it to two TV's.

I can't answer the first question since I don't have the Chromecast gadget, but, according to the adds, it should work if your tv has the hdmi input. And yes you can watch movies from a tbumb drive. Acer a200 performs well. Good luck. Bob H

The one thing I know for sure, you need Android OS 4.2.2... make sure the Android OS you have installed has support for "MiraCast" or it wont work even if it is physically connectable.

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

Yes! Its best to use the remote that comes with it so you can switch to different inputs. I have the Chromecast hooked up myself it works fine. It also displays 1080p if you have a source that plays 1080p such as blu ray, ps4, Xbox one.

No but you can buy an adapter, for about $30.00 that works fine or use chrome cast for $35.00.

It doesn't work with anything. It is the worst device ever. I returned it and buyed the Google Chromecast. It works great. And works with Win7.

I have used one successfully and I'm guessing you could also use a Google Chromecast to access programing available through the Chromecast and your tablet or smart phone. On its own the TV is not a "smart" TV and cannot access internet programming

Netflix and hbo go both work with this adapter, and Apple TV: also Chromecast works too

It should work. I don't have a Chromecast for testing but it isn't a matter of supporting Chromecast as Chromecast is self contained and outputs a HD signal via HDMI. What this does is converts HDMI signals in their native resolution from a digital format to an analog Component Video or VGA output for use with non HDMI capable HD TVs and Monitors. It also handles HDCP handshaking which I don't think Chromecast uses. I've used this with a Blueray player and a Comcast HD DVR testing 720P, 1080i and 1080P on a Proscan 50" LCD TV with a damaged HDMI input. Hope this is of assistance to you.

Chromecast plugs in to a USB port, and this doesn't have a USB port, so that probably wouldn't work.
