1. Introduction 

 

1.1  General 

The Black Box Model AC345A is a high-performance universal VGA / 
HDTV to VGA / HDTV Scan Rate converter. It also offers the 
capability to "Mirror" the VGA input signal on the X-axis. 

The Video Processor combines the functions of a video scaler, scan-
converter, and format transformer and is packed into a compact and 
housing. The AC345A is controlled via push buttons and OSD menu. 

The controls include input/output setup picture adjustment, H/V phase 
adjustment, System information and many other advance options.  

The AC345A allows you to specify a resolution and refresh rate for it's 
output. Then it will output a steady (uninterrupted) VGA or 
Component HD signal to your display device at your specified rate 
regardless of the input. This effectively allows any VGA switch, such 
as Black Box AC505A or AC506A, to become a virtual seamless 
switch. Therefore when you switch from one input to another, the 
display device does not see any interruption in the video signal timing. 

1.2  Features
