Gefen VGA to DVI Scaler Plus

Converts Analog VGA Video to Digital DVI Video

Description
The Gefen EXT-VGA-2-DVISP can handle multiple input and colorspaces, including computer-VGA-style R/G/B/H/V, as well as Y/Pb/Pr and Y/Cb/Cr component video, as found on HDTV equipment.

The output is also very versatile.  It can be configured to output DVI-D digital video, or DVI-I analog video.  In the case of analog output, the colorspace may be either R/G/B/H/V or Y/Pb/Pr.

This versatility means that the Gefen VGA to DVI Scaler Plus can solve any number of compatibility problems.  For example, if you want to connect an video game console to an Apple Cinema Display, the DVI to VGA Scaler makes it very simple to do so.

An example of a home theater application would be if you have a digital switcher, and you want to be able to route an analog signal through it -  the EXT-VGA-2-DVISP makes that a very simple matter.  The same would be true with digital splitters, extenders, or in any situation where you need to use an analog source component in an otherwise digital system.

Gefen's Description

Converts analog VGA video to digital DVI video with Aspect Control

The VGA to DVI Scaler PLUS connects traditional analog video graphic cards (VGA) to DVI compliant digital monitors. The VGA to DVI Scaler PLUS, 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 PLUS will also work with component video sources such as DVD players and set top boxes.

How it works
Simply connect the supplied VGA (M-F) cable to the input side of the VGA to DVI Scaler PLUS. 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. Navigation through the menu is easily done via IR remote control, or buttons in the front of the unit.
