About the DVC RGB-HD A Converter

The Extron DVC RGB-HD A is a one VGA input, one HDMI output converter that digitizes 
analog RGBHV video to HDMI, with analog stereo audio embedding. A USB port allows 
for system configuration and firmware updates using Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) 
commands or PCS Product Configuration Software. The DVC RGB-HD A allows the 
adaptation or integration of legacy VGA products into an all-digital audio-video system. 

Features

The DVC RGB-HD A provides the following features:

• 

Conversion of analog RGBHV to HDMI

 — Adapts analog computer video for use in 

digital video systems.

• 

Analog stereo audio embedding

 — Converts analog audio signals to digital HDMI 

audio.

• 

Input resolutions

 — Accepts computer video resolutions from 640x480 up to 1080p 

@ 60 Hz and 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz with reduced blanking.

• 

EDID Minder

 — EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communication between 

connected devices and ensures that all sources power up output content for display 
properly and reliably.

• 

Automatic output format selection

 — By default, outputs the signal as HDMI format 

when input audio is present, or as DVI when no input audio is detected. (You can 
change the output selection manually using SIS commands.)

• 

Status LED

 — A front panel LED provides power and signal status.

• 

Configuration port

 — A rear panel USB port enables system configuration via SIS 

commands or the PCS Configuration Software.
