Videocomponents VC-VGA/1-HR VGA converter, High Resolution, plug-and-play connections content_copy

The VGA converter VC-VGA/1-HR from Videocomponents is designed to convert analog video signals into VGA format, enabling older video sources to be displayed on modern TFT or LCD monitors. The device allows the display of FBAS signals, input via a BNC connector, on a VGA-compatible display. Conversion is performed at a resolution of up to 1920x1080 pixels, with settings adjustable among predefined resolutions such as 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, and 1920x1080. Output is via a 15-pin D-Sub female connector, standard for VGA monitors.

Applications
This converter is particularly suitable for applications where analog video sources, such as surveillance cameras or older video equipment, are to be used with digital display devices like TFT or LCD monitors. It is ideal for security technology, surveillance systems, and facilities undergoing migration from CRT monitors to flat-panel displays. Its compact size of 100 x 75 x 25 mm allows for use in environments with limited space.

Functions and Features in Detail
The converter processes an analog video signal in FBAS format (frequency-modulated color and video signal) with a level of 1 Vss at an impedance of 75 Ohm. Supported television standards include PAL and NTSC, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of analog video sources. Output is via a VGA connector, which typically provides a resolution of 1024x768 pixels at a refresh rate of 75 Hz. However, resolution can be adjusted using predefined settings to adapt display output to various monitor sizes and types.

Technology Explained Simply
The device converts an analog video signal, input via a BNC connector, into a digital VGA signal. This signal is transmitted to the monitor via the 15-pin D-Sub connector. Signal processing occurs internally, with resolution and refresh rate adjusted according to the device settings. The operating voltage is 12 V DC, and the device can be powered directly from the power supply of a TFT monitor using the included splitter cable. Alternatively, an external power supply is required.

Compatibility and Accessories
The converter is compatible with analog video sources that provide an FBAS signal via a BNC connector. Output is via a VGA connector, which can be connected to any standard VGA monitor. As an accessory, a Chinch female to BNC male adapter is available, enabling connection to devices with a Chinch connector.

Mounting and Installation
Installation involves connecting the BNC cable to the video source and linking the VGA cable to the monitor. The device is powered via the included splitter cable connected to the power supply of a TFT monitor, if available. Otherwise, an external 12 V DC power supply is required. Resolution adjustment is done via the device’s settings, with resolution selection adapted to the display capabilities of the monitor.

Operational Advantages
Using this converter allows older video sources to be displayed on modern monitors, eliminating the need to replace expensive CRT monitors. Powering the device from the monitor’s power supply reduces the number of required power supplies and simplifies installation. Its compact design and simple operation make it suitable for professional applications in security and surveillance technology. Support for multiple resolutions ensures flexible adaptation to different display devices.
