1.2 Introduction
The PT-C-VGAHD VGA and Audio to HDMI™ Converter offers an easy and instant approach for converting analog PC video (VGA) with either digital audio (S/PDIF) or analog stereo audio to digital HDMI. With this module, VGA based devices such as PC with S/PDIF or analog stereo audio can readily connect to your
HDMI TV. With such a convenience, presentations, demonstrations, or digital signage become easier and more cost effective.
—
PC video supports up to UXGA (1600x1200) or WUXGA (1920x1200)
— Supports most popular VESA resolutions from 640x480 up to WUXGA
— Front panel LED indicators
— Easy installation The length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables. Higher resolutions and longer transmission distances require low skew cables (<25ns/100m) for best performance. Unshielded CAT6 with metal RJ-45 connectors is recommended. www.purelink.de 3

Section 3: Notice
1. Only HDMI enabled TV sets with underscan/overscan* support, the full active video can be accurately displayed. Some HDMI equipped TV sets may not support this feature. If underscan/overscan* is NOT supported, the top, bottom, left and right border of the active video may be screened, and the S/PDIF audio may not sound right.
2. Analog stereo audio can merely support 2-channel audio. This version does NOT support 8-channel analog audio applications
3. S/PDIF audio input supports the main 2-channel audio input
4. S/PDIF supports only 48kHz audio sample rate. Other than this rate, the input digital audio should be adjusted to 48kHz in order to get audio signal correctly sent.
