RGB to VGA/SVGA Input
The most common method of interfacing high bandwidth signals from a computer source to a
monitor is with an analog RGB signal interface. A five signal or wire system interfaces the red
video, green video, blue video, vertical sync and horizontal sync signals from the source to the
monitor. Indus-try standard VESA (Video Electronic Standard Association) and Apple/Mac
picture resolutions are used. These resolution formats are stated as picture elements (pixels) or
lines such as 640x480_60Hz. This indicates 640 horizontal pixels of picture resolution and 480
vertical pixels of resolution (480 scan lines) with a picture refresh frequency of 60 Hz.
To test the VGA/SVGA/VESA inputs of a
display using a standard 15 pin HD connector,
connect the DVI/VGA Adapter (39G1061) to
the DVI output of the VideoPro. Use a
standard VGA cable connected from the
display input to the output of the adapter
(Sencore optional cable 39G798). Select the
VESA/Mac – RGB signal type from the
Signal Type menu. Select a resolution format
from the Format menu that the display is
capable of displaying.
Note:
Most displays
are cable of VGA (640x480_60Hz) and SVGA
(800x600_60Hz
). Select the appropriate input
on the display and note the display screen.
The video pattern of the VideoPro should be
displayed. You can use the Gating menu of
the VideoPro to gate on/off each separate red,
green and blue output.
