Typical Application

Overview

The VGA to DVI converter is a highly functional product which accepts an analog video input signal and converts it to a digital DVI output that can be connected an LCD monitor, television, projector or other digital display. The product auto-detects the input resolution and native resolution of the output display and scales the input to fill the screen.

The converter will accept input with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 from the following sources:

• VGA analog signals from computer or laptop graphics cards
• RGB component video sources from devices such as DVD players and set top boxes

With the easy-to-use on-screen menu, you can make custom adjustments if the default settings are not suitable. With the PC Menu, you can change the contrast, brightness, h-position, v-position, clock, phase, and scale. The scale setting options are Full, Overscan, Underscan, Letterbox-Underscan, PanScan-Underscan, Letterbox-Full, and PanScan-Full. Using the Color Menu, you can change the color temperature of the input to give a warmer or cooler look.

Through the Output Menu you can select the output to be either analog (VGA) or digital (DVI) and a variety of output resolutions. The output resolution is normally auto-detected using the native resolution of the DVI display, but you can force it to a wide range of settings with maximum resolutions of 1920 x 1200 and 2048 x 1024. There is also a provision for changing the OSD appearance.
