My guess would be to say no this is not the right component. For one it is not set up to go to multiple devices or for any distance from the converter. Yes it has several differnet types of outputs but not for simultaneous use. The reason I say that is it has no amplification of the signal out.
It does not have it's own power source but feeds from the computer which is only a 5V source. Not much power to keep a signal very strong and bad for your computer especially if it is a laptop.
They even state that it will not work with most large screen HDTVs which I would guess is what the bar has.
You might want to read their support document as you may need to make some adjustments to your video card to get some TVs to work without the Horizontal roll. One thing they suggest is to set the card to a 60HZ refresh rate which is more common in TVs.
