Converter DVI To VGA (specifically DVI-D to VGA) enables connecting modern digital-only video sources to analog VGA displays, supporting resolutions up to 1920×1200 or 1080p @ 60Hz. These active adapters typically feature a 24+1 pin DVI-D male input, a 15-pin VGA female output, and sometimes a Micro USB port for additional power.
- Input: DVI-D (24+1 pin) Male
- Output: VGA (15-pin) Female
- Maximum Resolution: Up to 1920×1200 or 1080p @ 60Hz
- Active Converter: Converts digital signal to analog (needed for DVI-D)
- Power Source: Usually USB-powered (5V DC) for active conversion
- Compatibility: Desktop/laptop (DVI) to projector/monitor (VGA)
- Dimensions: Typically compact, e.g., 88mm x 48mm x 24mm
- Audio Support: Generally not supported
- Direction: The conversion is one-way, from DVI source to VGA display.
- Active vs. Passive: If your DVI port is DVI-D (digital only), an active converter is required.
