VGA to DVI Scaler from ComputerCableStore™. The VGA to DVI Scaler Box connects traditional analog video graphic cards (VGA) to DVI compliant digital monitors. The VGA to DVI Scaler Box, enables users to connect laptops or legacy PC computers equipped with HD-15 video connections, to the new DVI (digital visual interface) video display format. The VGA to DVI Scaler Box will also work with Component Video sources such as DVD players and set top boxes.Simply connect the supplied VGA (M-F) cable to the input side of the VGA to DVI Scaler Box. Then connect the DVI monitor or projector to the DVI output of the VGA to DVI Scaler Box. The converter generates the compatible analog to digital conversion signals to make the connection between the analog input and the digital output work. Component video is a video signal that has been split into two or more components. In popular use, it refers to a type of analog video information that is transmitted or stored as three separate signals. Component video can be contrasted with composite video (NTSC, PAL or SECAM) in which all the video information is combined into a single line-level signal. Like composite, component video cables do not carry audio and are often paired with audio cables. When used without any other qualifications the term component video generally refers to analog YPbPr component video with sync on luma. DVI, or Digital Video Interface Technology came about in 1999 as a result of the formation of the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) a year prior. Their original mission was to create a standard digital video interface for communication between a Personal Computer and a VGA monitor. Recently, however, the consumer electronics industry began implementing DVD players, set-top boxes, televisions, and LCD/plasma monitors with DVI technology. The term Video Graphics Array (VGA) refers specifically to the display hardware first introduced with the IBM PS/2 line of computers in 1987, but through its widespread adoption has also come to mean either an analog computer display standard, the 15-pin D-subminiature VGA connector or the 640×480 resolution itself. While this resolution has been superseded in the personal computer market, it is becoming a popular resolution on mobile devices.
- The input is analog PC or HDTV signal in the format of either RGBHV, YPbPr or YCbCr.
- The output is digital+analog PC or HDTV signal in the format of digital RGBHV bitstream plus analog RGBHV, known as DVI-I (Integrated digital and analog)
- The input resolution is automatically detected while the output resolution and refresh rate can be selected through OSD menu and front panel push buttons.
- 48MB frame memory for frame rate conversion.
- Output picture adjustment on brightness, contrast, color, RGB level and H-V position.
- DVI output enables an all digital rendering of video without the losses associated with an analog interface and is an ideal for use with digital display such as LCD, Plasma and DLP projectors.
- A DVI-I to VGA adaptor is included to transfer the analog RGB output contained in the DVI-I connector into HD-15 VGA connector so that the output can also connect to any display units that has VGA input.
- High performance Scaler thats converts and scales analog RGB inputs to DVI-I (digital or analog) outputs
- Output resolution can be easily selected using the OSD (On Screen Display)
- Supports computer resolutions up to 1280x1024 at 75Hz
- Supports HDTV resolution up to 1080i
- Supports DDWG standard for DVI compliant monitors
- Installs in seconds
