VGA to HDMI Review: Convert
Analog to Digital Today, people can stream Netflix, their favorite television shows, and other videos to their home computer. However, with the advent of the digital television and more affordable big-screen TVs, many individuals desire to free themselves of the VGA computer monitor. They long to watch their favorite flicks on their high-tech HDTV. Some scour the internet for the perfect length VGA to HDMI cable to help them achieve this technological goal. Sadly, what most do not realize is that they need more than just a cable to convert VGA to HDMI . In order to transform a VGA analog signal to a digital HDMI format, the user needs both a converter device and a few cables. In our VGA to HDMI Review, we give objective side-by-side comparisons of the best VGA converters available on the market. Coupled with this informational article on digital VGA converters and how they work, we hope to provide you with the tools you need to learn how to display your computer's sound and video on your HDTV with a VGA converter appliance. At TopTenREVIEWS We Do the Research So You Don't Have To. VGA vs. HDMI Electronic devices can process and transfer two separate types of signals: analog and digital. VGA signals are of the analog variety. VGA devices can carry only one signal at a time. The VGA signal commonly contains video only. VGA analog signals do not contain sounds, music or other audio components. Alternately, the technology driving HDMI is digital. Digital signals use binary code. This code uses a series of ones and zeros to capture, record, and output both video and audio. Binary code is the language of the computer. Computers use binary code to process email, text, video, music, graphics and more. Everything a person does on a computer is digital. In order for a computer to process an analog video, it must first convert the file to a digital format. VGA to HDMI Converter To connect a VGA source to an HDMI display, a VGA converter is required. A cable alone cannot transform the computer's VGA signal to the HDMI digital format. Additionally, it must come equipped with support for the computer's audio. Precisely synchronizing both the audio and video output of the computer and preserving the clarity and integrity of the original source file is a mandatory feature of all good devices of this type. VGA to HDMI converter boxes can come packaged with USB connectors, VGA to HDMI adapters, VGA to VGA cables, 3.5mm cables, a power adaptor and other accessories. A digital HDMI converter can transform the analog video signal from a desktop computer, laptop, netbook, iPad, iPhones, BlackBerry smart phones, eReader or other compatible device. Once successfully converted, the user of the digital HDMI converter can display their computer's desktop and play sound directly onto their HDTV. Digital HDMI converter technology allows the business user to take advantage of HDTV's big screens when they give that important presentation. The VGA converter lets the home user watch those favorite YouTube videos, play games, surf the web and more on their big screen digital HDTV. enjoy ........................... |

RE: HDMI to vga & dvi
DVI to HDMI
If you've ever tried to connect a Digital Video Interface (DVI) source with a High- Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) source, you probably discovered very quickly that the two ports are not compatible with one another. The digital video signals for DVI and HDMI are similar, but you need a DVI to HDMI cable or an adapter in order to transfer the digital data between the ports. Since the digital video signal doesn't need to be converted between DVI and HDMI, an adapter isn't really a converter; it's just a way of fitting a square peg into a round hole. If you already have a DVI cable that came with your computer tower or an HDMI cable that came with your high- definition television, for example, then an adapter will probably be your best bet. DVI to HDMI adapters are an effective and inexpensive way to make use of the cables you already have. However, you need to make sure to get the right one. DVI to HDMI adapters can come with a male or female connector on either end. Make sure to get the configuration that you need. It may be obvious to some, but let us explain it for those who may be too timid to ask: if you already have a HDMI cable, get an adapter with a male DVI connector and a female HDMI connector; if you already have a DVI cable, get an adapter with a male HDMI connector and a female DVI connector. There are also different types of DVI sockets and connectors. DVI-D sends digital signals, DVI-A sends analog signals and DVI-I can transmit both digital and analog signals. In addition to this, DVI-I and DVI-D connectors can be either single-link or dual-link. Dual- link connectors have more pins than single- link connectors; this means more data can be transferred through a dual-link connection. However, since single-link connectors have fewer pins, they are compatible with more DVI ports than dual- link connectors. Check the DVI port on your device before purchasing a DVI to HDMI adapter. Also, keep in mind that the main difference between DVI and HDMI is audio. HDMI has an integrated audio signal whereas DVI only transmits digital video. There are some DVI to HDMI adapters available that include an audio plug on the DVI side that is converted into the HDMI signal, but, from what we've seen, this technology is still developing and it is also fairly expensive. It seems to be more cost effective to get an adapter and a separate audio cable. In summary, if you don't have any connection between your DVI source and your HDMI source, then a cable is the way to go. A HDMI to DVI cable will bridge the gap between a computer and a monitor, or a laptop and an HDTV. If you already have a DVI cable or an HDMI cable, then an adapter will better suit your needs. These adapters can easily attach to a DVI or HDMI port/ cable. Either way, you've now bridged the gap between your DVI source and your HDMI source, or vice versa. enjoy ........................... |
