InstallationOverview

The DVI-RGB 100 converter converts direct digital video to analog RGB video. The converter accepts a single link of digital-only Digital Visual Interface (DVI-D) video from a computer, or other digital video source device, on a standard 25-pin female DVI-D connector. Digital Flat Panel (DFP) video can be input via a DFP-to-DVI adapter. The converter outputs analog RGBHV, RGBS, or RGsB video on five, four, or three female BNC connectors. The converter also buffers the DVI input and loops it through on a DVI connector for use by a local monitor (figure 1).

Figure 1 — Typical DVI-RGB 100 application

The video source uses the bidirectional Display Data Channel (DDC) to determine the video resolution and refresh rate. The video source can obtain the rate directly from the local monitor or the user can select 1 of 14 resolutions and rates built into the converter.

Level and peaking adjustments allow the user to enhance the RGB video output for transmission across long distances.

The DVI-RGB 100 is rack mountable and has an internal switching power supply for worldwide power compatibility.
