VGA to DVI-D: Seamlessly Integrates Analog and Digital Technology

vga to dvi-d converter
Analog signals can be converted to digital and viewed on the latest plasma screens, LCD displays and other such devices with the help of a VGA to DVI-D conversion unit. Working on simple plug and play functionality, one needs to connect the VGA source to the input of the converter and the DVI display device to the output port. Once the unit is powered on, the input signals are scaled to the native resolution of the display. This is how the conversion from analog to digital takes place. The resultant images are high quality as this converter improves the brightness, contrast, and color dynamics. The resolutions supported range from UXGA (1600x1200), SXGA (1280x1024), XGA (1024x768), SVGA (800x600), to VGA (640x480).

While the input resolution is automatically detected, the output resolution and refresh rate can be selected through the On Screen Display menu and front panel push buttons on the VGA to DVI-D Converter. These converters follow easy installation procedures and do not require any additional software or device drivers for operation. The input connectors are VGA 15 Pin HD female while output connectors are DVI-D Single link or VGA 15 Pin HD female. Enclosed in a metal casing for added durability, they consume 5.5 Watts of power. While the DVI Video amplifier bandwidth is 1.65 Gbps the VGA amplifier bandwidth is350 MHz. Certified by CE, FCC as well as RoHS, these devices are compatible with the DDWG DVI standard.

Available in various models such as DVI-D, DVI-I Single link, DVI-I dual link and DVI-A video converter, it is perfect for running high definition digital displays from analog sources. It allows scaling of signals and adjustment of images. The latest version enables conversion of VGA signals to DVI-D and transports them over multi mode fiber relaying them up to a distance of 1000 meters. Equipped with two outputs, it is designed so that one connects to the DVI-D monitor and the other to a computer with VGA output.

The older models of computers and laptops which are equipped with HD-15 video connections can be connected to DVI compliant devices. Allowing high definition digital displays to operate from analog sources, the VGA to DVI-D converter is ideal for home theater setups.

The another form of video converter is DVI-D to VGA which function opposite to VGA to DVI-D. With the help of this the digital signals converted in to analog signals for VGA display.

USB Extender: Extend distance between USB peripherals and host devices

cat5 usb extender

USB peripherals can be placed at a distance of 150 feet from the source using a USB Extender for connecting the devices. Consisting of a transmitter and a receiver, the former is connected to the input port on the extender and the latter to its output. Once the connections are secured using Category cables and the device is powered on, the unit is ready to operate. It follows plug and play functionality and simple installation procedures and does not require any external power adapters. . Since the Cat5 cables are used for connecting the devices, extension is simple and economical. Compliant with USB 1.0 and 1.1 specifications, these devices are compatible with any USB device.

Three models, the Cat5 USB Booster, the fiber optic extender and the Wireless USB extender, are available in the market. Difference between them lies in the distance of extension as well as the mode of connection between the source and display units. While the Cat5 and the fiber optic extenders use wires for securing connections, the wireless device works on wireless 802.11 type connections. All three versions support security cameras, barcode scanners, keyboards, printers, scanners etc. Patented by Icron’s Extreme USB technology, these extension units offer multi platform support and can work with operating systems such as Windows, MAC, Linux and Sun.

Amongst the many features of this USB Extension device, the key features and specifications are; standard agency approvals such as FCC, RoHS and CE Class A certification, LEDs that indicate the link performance status and embedded connector integrated circuits on both sides. Signals loss can be prevented by using these extenders in conjunction with USB hubs. Since signals are transmitted in real time, it appears as though the peripherals are locally connected. The main advantage of using these units is that they allow placement of the CPUs in a secure location and the peripherals in a convenient location which is away from the host system.

All these features make the USB Extender an ideal device for educational institutions, corporate environments and boardrooms, conference and training facilities, remote monitoring facilities, financial and government agencies where the computer is placed at a necessary location and the peripherals at a desired one.

KVM over IP: Eliminates the Distance Limitation Associated with the KVM Switch

16 port kvm over ip switch

One or more computers can be controlled with a single set of peripherals using an IP KVM Switch. However, the key feature of this device is that it bypasses the control limits of a typical switch by allowing users to remotely exercise control over IP with 128 bit browser based access. There is no need for a physical connection in the form of wires. This device gives the freedom to access the systems over a local area network or a wide area network from remote locations. Compatible with almost every operating system and network device in the office environment, these switches add a greater flexibility to the network by placing the systems where they are required and the peripherals where they are desired.
Available in 8, 16 or 32 ports, the KVM over IP device can also be cascaded or daisy chained together for connecting up to 128 servers. Control can be exercised by using the on-screen display (OSD), a combination of hot keys or via push buttons located on the front panel of the unit. Basic characteristics of this device are similar to the other models of the KVM Switch as these too work on the simple principle of plug and play and do not require any additional software or device drivers for operation. Additional features include the ability to monitor servers at regular intervals between 5 to 99 seconds; a multi lingual interface that allows the IP KVM switch user to select from a host of languages such as English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Japanese and Simplified Chinese; Dual power with failover; Configurable hot key combinations; 12V, 24V and 48V DC Power options; and the capability to mix PS/2, USB and SUN solutions.
These switches are so designed that they can automatically sense video resolution for best screen capture. They also do not interfere with the operation of servers or the functioning of the network as the software which enables remote monitoring and controlling runs on the embedded processors and not on mission critical servers. Equipped with built-in microprocessor emulation for each port boot up process and a BIOS level access for administration, these KVM Switches are available both in desktop as well as rack mountable versions.
The KVM over IP device is a global server management solution that allows video, keyboard and mouse access from anywhere across the world.

Matrix Switch: Interconnecting various inputs with various outputs

4x2 hdmi matrix switch
Video from multiple sources can be switched and relayed to multiple displays using a Video Matrix Switch. Some models also have the option to route audio and are referred to as A/V switches. These switches tend to create a matrix like pattern of interconnection possibilities and hence get their name. Configurations can range from 2 inputs and 2 outputs to 32 inputs and 16 outputs. For even greater configurations, these devices can be cascaded or daisy chained together. These devices are classified depending upon the type of video inputs and outputs they support. Based on this, we have the VGA Video Matrix, VGA AV Matrix, DVI Matrix, HDMI Matrix, Component Matrix, Composite Video Matrix and the Cat5 Video Matrix Switcher.


Since this device buffers every output from every input, signal integrity is maintained and it appears as though each display is directly connected to the source. Switching between the video sources is simple and can be done via push buttons in front of the unit, by infra red remote control, RS232 or through TCP/IP. There are LEDs on the front panel which indicate the status of the selected device. A key feature of this device is the elimination of the need to disconnect and reconnect the cables thereby saving time and eliminating clutter associated with multiple cables. Requiring no additional software or drivers and operating on simple plug and play functionality, the Video Matrix Switcher is available in desktop or rack mountable versions.
