HD15M/ 3 X RGB PLUG

This VGA component cable can be used to hook up your projector to a digital source or be used to connect your computer to a component source if you video card supports it.

This cable is primarily used for connecting video projectors with Component-in capability through it's VGA port. It can only function with a VGA port that is either able to recieve or transmit Component signals (Y, Pr, Pb).

IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONNECT YOUR COMPONENT VIDEO SOURCES TO A REGULAR COMPUTER MONITOR OR HDTV unless you monitor specifically has this capability. Most do not. (Please check the documentation for your computer monitor)

THIS CABLE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO CONNECT YOUR COMPUTER'S VGA PORT TO THE COMPONENET INPUT ON YOUR HDTV unless your video card supports component out function through it's VGA port (please confirm with your video cards documentation before purchasing)

This cable will not convert RGBHV into Y, Pr, Pb.
This cable will not convert Y, Pr, Pb to RGBHV
This cable will not support Y, Cr, Cb.



QUESTION:
Will I be able to use the VGA to component adapter to watch DVD's from my DVD player on my computer monitor?

ANSWER:
Probably not, the adapter just "adapts" it doesn't convert. Nearly all computer monitors need an RGB signal, as compared to the component (Y, Pr, Pb) signal that a DVD player outputs. To view a component signal on an RGB monitor requires a transcoder, which converts the component to an RGB signal. Many projectors and some rare monitors will accept a compent signal via their HD-15 (VGA or RGB) port. This is the intended use for this adapter. Bottom line: For the adapter to work your display device must accept component inputs.

*Note: Component Video is Y-Pr-Pb encoded video which is different than non-encoded RGB and RGB/HV.
The Device to which the "VGA" connector is connected, needs to support Component video (Y-Pr-Pb) for this type of cable to work.
This is common for projectors. Some other displays also support Y-Pr-Pb through the HD15 (VGA) connector.
Check your Plasma, Projector or HDTV manual, otherwise your picture will be extremely ugly and possibly won't have sync! In this case you need a "transcoder".

Use to hook up a PC or Laptop to a HDTV type monitor or projector.

Please read: This cable will only work with high definition type receivers and does not work with all systems. It works for about 80% of our customers.
