RGB, MDA, CGA, EGA to VGA Converter

Product Description

The RGB, MDA, CGA, EGA to VGA Converter is a new multi-frequency scan converter, up-scaling to PC VGA and SVGA resolutions. The converter will auto-scan and accept horizontal scan frequencies from 12kHz ~ 40kHz with the vertical scan frequency unconstrained.

The output horizontal resolution is unconstrained and the output vertical resolution is from 200 ~ 600 lines. The device supports synchronization types of Separate, Combined (Composite) and Sync on Green, as well as full support for Monochrome, Greyscale and Colour analog and digital video formats.

With different styles of Industrial machinery, using various combinations of horizontal/vertical frequencies and synchronizations in formats ranging from MDA (single colour) to VGA (multi-colour), the RGB, MDA, CGA, EGA to VGA converter is ideally suited for helping to replace defunct CRT monitors with newer model CRT and LCD screens. This means that it is no longer so costly to have to repair or replace old screens. Simply use the converter with any standard CRT or LCD panel that can be purchased in any store.

Industrial machines interfacing with the RGB, MDA, CGA, EGA to VGA converter can be connected via 5 BNC input connectors or via a CGA/EGA/VGA Dsub-9 pin input connector. These connectors will allow video signals from RGBHV, RGBH+V, RGsB and YPbPr video sources to be accepted by the converter and then all output via a standard VGA Dsub-15 pin connector to your monitor. The Auto Scan feature allows for inter-working with Progressive or Interlaced video signals.

To assist with defining the video signal for optimum display, an easy to use yet comprehensive OSD menu allows all facets of the input signal and the resultant output video image to be adjusted to suit the end users needs. Adjustments for width, height, position, phase, synchronization, impedence matching and scanning style give the user total control over the conversion and resultant image.

Compact, lightweight and robust, the RGB, MDA, CGA, EGA to VGA converter is a very simple solution to many seemingly expensive monitor replacement scenarios. Equipped with special cables for easy connection to source equipment.
