The Pro DVI-D to VGA Converter is an ideal solution for connecting newer laptops or computers that output a digital DVI-D video signal to legacy displays, such as projects or monitors, which accept a VGA input. This device converts the digital DVI-D video signal to an analog VGA video signal. Many products on the market, particularly cables, claim this capability; however, most of these products only "adapt" from DVI-D to VGA. Without an active conversion process, there are very few devices that are able to output an analog VGA signal from a DVI-D output. The Pro DVI-D to VGA Converter is an active device which converts a digital DVI-D signal to an analog VGA video signal. This product is easy to use with no software or drivers required. Simply connect the unit and enjoy high definition content on an analog display. The durable metal housing protects the converter and provides for a long life. For added convenience, this device is bus powered from the DVI-D port, so no additional power source is required. 757120407249
