VGA/YpbPr-to-HDMI converter
Hall Research has released the SC-VHD-HDMI, a VGA/YpbPr-to-HDMI converter with audio for connecting a PC or notebook's VGA video and audio to any HDMI using a single HDMI cable.
The unit can convert and scale either component (YpbPr) or PC analogue video with audio into an HDMI- or DVI-compatible signal.
The video processor combines the functions of a video scaler, scan-converter, and format transformer.
The SC-VHD-HDMI also includes a horizontal mirroring feature, which is useful for teleprompters and rear-projection systems.
The unit encodes the audio input signal from TOSLink (optical) or analogue (L/R) to both digital and analogue formats and outputs it on HDMI along with video.
For convenience, both line-level analogue optical digital audio outputs are also provided.
The SC-VHD-HDMI has the ability to output a range of resolutions and refresh rates regardless of the input type or timing.
The output setting can automatically match the native resolution of a connected display or specified by the user.
The unit features an OSD menu for configuration, picture set-up, system information, and other options.
It can automatically detect RGBHV versus YpbPr on its input and is compatible with all common and HDTV resolutions.
