Search Tips...

Keyword Search
Our search engine uses any or all keywords typed in the text box to give you product search results.
For instance, typing in kvm will give you a broader set of results than kvm switch cables.

Note, however, that keywords in quotes are treated as a single phrase and will not be evaluated individually.

Booleans (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) are not supported.

Also, some keywords will not return results, and may automatically correct to a similar keyword.

Part Number Search Selection
Select this Search in the drop down box to search by part number instead of keywords.

Wild Card Search
The * character is only supported in a limited capacity. Using whole words is the best approach whenever possible.

"New Search" Radio Button
Search the entire section that you are currently in.

"Search Within Results" Radio Button
Enter keywords or a part number to limit your results within the previously searched results.


Other features

A list of all matching product categories or resources will appear in the upper left corner of the results page, when applicable, to help you further narrow your results, if you desire.

Use the "sort by" drop-down menu on the results page to sort by "most popular" and price (low to high or high to low)
in the store section.

    Displaying an RGB signal on a VGA screen as well as a DVI flat-screen TFT requires a precise conversion of the output signal. The BLACK BOX® RGB to DVI/VGA Converter does this and more.

    This compact box enables you to convert the red, green, and blue signals and synchronization (HSYNC and VSYNC) frequencies from the RGsB (sync on green) or RGBS source so they can be displayed with the correct resolution and pixel size on a monitor with either VGA or DVI inputs.

    It’s particularly useful for attaching equipment that has DVI input but no RGB input. Use it to connect newer DVI monitors to older RGB equipment. The converter can also be used in factory floor applications where you want to use the latest display equipment instead of CRTs to view video from a PLC or similar device.

    Along with converter, you get adapter cables for different monitor connections, including an RGB/RGBS (BNC) to DVI-I adapter cable and a DVI-I to VGA adapter cable. You can also use the converter with legacy TTL level (EGA, CGA, or MDA) video sources with the included adapter cable.

    The converter digitizes the incoming RGB video signal, stores it in its internal video memory, then—using a selectable resolution format and refresh rate—displays it correctly on a DVI or VGA screen. It supports RGB, RGBS, and RGBHV in either progressive scan or interlaced mode.

    An onscreen display (OSD) function enables you to optimize the display with the included infrared remote control. In addition to buttons for controlling brightness and contrast, the converter has more than 80 preset resolution configurations optimized for the various video standards available. (However, the converter can also be customized manually to work flawlessly with even non-standard RGB sources, too.)

    For optimal display, you can format the image to fit the entire screen, display a 1:1 ratio with a black box, fit one dimension with another scaled appropriately, or be shown in fixed 2:1 stretch factor. Using the OSD, you can also optimize video to your liking with color, hue, saturation, and flesh/skin tone icon commands.

    What’s more, for fine-tuning the image, the converter enables you to manually adjust the pixel phase to eliminate any flickering, horizontal noise, horizontal waved-formed lines, or “zebra” patterns that might appear.

    The RGB to DVI/VGA Converter stores all settings in nonvolatile EEPROM memory, and its firmware and settings can also be flash upgraded as required using the included programming cable.

  • RGB to DVI/VGA Converter
  • Infrared remote controller
