VGA (RGBHV) to Component (YPbPr) Transcoder

Have you ever thought about connecting your PC to your HDTV? With the DIYGadget's VGA to Component transcoder, this can be done! The transcoder can convert 480p, 540p, 720p and 1080i signals from your computer to your HDTV. It also contains a VGA passthrough port, thus a separate monitor can be attached to the transcoder.

If your computer's VGA port does output a component video (Y-Pb-Pr) type signal, you don't need this transcoder, a simple VGA to Component cable can do the work. However, most VGA card only support an RGBHV (Red, Green, Blue, Horizontal Sync, Vertical Sync) type signal. If your VGA card only support RGBHV signal, you need a transcoder.

Please note, you may also need PowerStrip to set the correct horizontal and vertical frequencies of your VGA output. Setting incorrect frequencies can damage you HDTV. Please read this excellent guide on correct frequencies using PowerStrip.

VGA (RGBHV) to Component (YPbPr) Transcoder Kit

This is a complete kit for you to built a VGA (RGBHV) to component (YPbPr) transcoder.

It is the solution for customers who want to connect VGA-type RGBHV video sources to HDTV monitors with YPbPr component video inputs. With compatible sources and monitors, it permits HDTV images generated by a personal computer to be displayed on an HDTV monitor that is capable of displaying the image format being produced by the source.

This transcoder supports 480p, 540p, 720p and 1080i. It also has a VGA passthrough port thus you can connect another monitor to the transcoder.

Please note: All components (IC Chips, resistors, capacitors) are surface mount components (0805), you must be confident to work with them. They are SMALL! Soldering experience is required!

Box/enclosure is NOT included.

This kit includes:

Printed Circuit Board (7.0cm X 9.8cm / 2.75" X 3.86")
VGA HD15 connectors
