ATEN VC160A VGA to DVI Converter
Overview
The ATEN VC160A is a compact VGA to DVI converter designed to bridge the gap between older VGA video sources and modern DVI displays. This device is critical for integrating legacy equipment, such as older servers or industrial PCs with VGA outputs, into environments that utilize DVI-based monitors or video matrices. It ensures that data from VGA sources can be viewed without loss of detail on DVI-equipped screens, supporting resolutions up to 1920 x 1200. The VC160A is ideal for scenarios requiring the display of critical information from analog sources on digital interfaces, such as in control rooms or legacy industrial automation setups.
Compatibility
This converter is designed to accept a standard VGA analog video input signal and output a digital DVI-D signal. It is compatible with any source device outputting VGA (e.g., older PCs, servers, industrial controllers) and any display or video distribution system accepting DVI-D input. The unit requires an external power source via its DC jack to operate.
Installation Notes
The ATEN VC160A features a 75 Ω impedance, standard for video signals, ensuring signal integrity. It operates within a humidity range of 0-80% RH (non-condensing). While it supports rack mounting, specific physical dimensions are typically detailed in separate documentation for rack-mount products. The unit requires a separate power adapter (sold separately) which connects via the DC power jack.
