Technically Speaking

The VGA to Video Ultimate Plus converts VGA resolutions into S-VHS, Composite, or RGBS video by translating the horizontal and vertical scanning of the computer video signal into a format that an ordinary TV can display or a VCR can record.

Many computer-generated images look good on TV.

And now images that require a 1600 x 1200 resolution—such as certain spreadsheets, CAD, and other graphics—look just as sharp on a TV, thanks to the converter’s new “kangaroo” video encoder.

Converting PC images to TV is smart. Since TV is more economical and available nearly anywhere, you don’t have to buy an expensive large-screen monitor. Just put that old TV to good use!

To display the same image from your computer on multiple TVs, simply connect one TV to the next using a Composite video cable or the included S-Video cable between the Video In and Video Out ports on the Ultimate Plus. However, because of signal degradation, we suggest not using more than five TVs.

The amount of signal degradation depends on the quality of the TVs and the cable lengths.

And, if your TV only has a coax cable input, you’ll need an RF modulator to convert the Composite video signal from the device. Or you can use a VCR to act as the RF modulator.

The front panel of the Ultimate Plus includes genlock controls, which ensure precise timing of multiple video devices when they’re used together.

The device also features 24-bit true color conversion, enabling you to adjust the brightness, contrast, hue, and color and eliminate the flicker commonly seen on large-screen TV displays.

You can perform all of these functions using the remote control with integrated wireless mouse. Even better, you can also size the picture (using underscan, overscan, and super underscan), zoom in on nine screen areas, freeze and unfreeze the frame, position the mouse pointer, and toggle between the computer or external video screen.
