Legacy Version (for historical info only)
The original version of the Apogee is no longer being produced, but had the following unique feature:
- Recessed VGA to HDMI output, with integrated power.
On the VGA to HDMI adapter, the USB power is not used, and instead the adapter is modified to take power from the DSUB header. This was a lovely modification in that it avoids having to run a USB cable to the dongle. However this option is no longer being offered.
