1. Introduction
1.1 General
The model VHD-180 is a PC/HD Component Down Converter that
generates a standard analog NTSC or PAL video signal from an HD
component or PC video signal. Output is either composite and S-Video
or standard definition component (YPbPr) format. Both the PC and the
HD component inputs have pass-thru connections. The unit can convert
any analog component video signal up to 1080i can be converted to
standard analog video. The VHD-180 also handles computer VGA
resolutions up to UXGA (1600 x 1200) at 60Hz refresh rate.
The Model VHD-180 settings can be controlled via front panel push-
buttons, an included IR remote or any RS-232 serial control device.
Applications for this device include displaying your PC’s image on a
standard definition TV, or making DVD recordings of PC software for
training purposes. Additionally most satellite receivers and HD set-top
boxes do not provide simultaneous HD and SD outputs. In order to
display the HD signal on TVs with composite or S-Video, the VHD-
180 is the ticket.
