Signal Conversion

The ATEN VC160A converts analog VGA signals to a digital DVI-D output, supporting resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at a 165 MHz pixel clock. It operates without drivers on Windows and Mac platforms, drawing up to 2.8 W from a DC jack or directly from the VGA port when sufficient power is available.

Resolution Headroom

The converter handles PC resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 and 1080p HDTV signals, automatically detecting the input and optimising the image for the connected display. At the maximum pixel clock the available bandwidth is fully used, so higher refresh rates or resolutions beyond the stated limit are not supported.

Analog Input Impedance

The VGA input presents a 75 ohm impedance, matching standard analog video sources for correct signal termination. If the source or cabling deviates from this impedance, image quality may degrade, making this specification the key factor for reliable operation.

Questions about this item

Will the VC160A work with an older VGA source that only outputs 1080p?

Yes, the converter accepts any VGA signal up to 1920 x 1200 and automatically detects the input, so a 1080p source will display correctly on the DVI-D output.

How can I confirm the VC160A is converting the signal properly after I connect it?

The front LED lights when a valid VGA signal is detected, and the Smart Video Display feature optimises the image for the connected DVI monitor’s native resolution.

Does the VC160A package include the power adapter, or must I buy one separately?

The box contains the converter, a user guide, and a 5.3 VDC power adapter; the unit can also draw power from the VGA port if that source supplies enough current.
