The VHD-HDMI is used to connect the VGA video signal from a PC or the YPbPr video signale of a DVD player or similar device to the HDMI input of a Plasma or LCD screen. The unit takes advantage of HDMI cable’s ability to also embed the audio in the same cable with video. The resolution of the HDMI output is the same as the input.
Note about HDMI compatibility with PC Video
The VHD-HDMI is not a scaler or scan converter. This means that the resolution of the video signal at the HDMI output is the same as the input signal. Most HDMI enabled displays do not support the full complement of PC resolutions and are only designed to handle HDTV input formats of (480i or 480p) @ 60 Hz, (576i or 576p) @ 50 Hz, 720p @ 60 Hz, or 1080i @ 60 Hz. This means that if you set your PC at a resolution of 1024x768 (XGA), your display may not display the HDMI image. In this case you have to set your PC's resolution to either 640x480@60 (VGA interpreted as 480p), 800x600@50 (SVGA interpreted as 576p), or 1280x720@60 (WXGA interpreted as 720p).
