Signal Conversion
The ATEN VC180 converts a VGA source with analogue stereo audio into a single HDMI output. It supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at a 165 MHz pixel clock. A screen position button stores alignment settings for each output resolution. The unit ships with a power adapter and user instructions.
Usage Fit
This converter suits users connecting legacy PCs, laptops or industrial equipment to modern HDMI displays or projectors. It is not for buyers who need to convert HDMI signals back to VGA, nor for installations that require HDCP-encrypted content pass-through. The device handles one input at a time and does not scale resolutions beyond its maximum rating.
Deciding Specification
The maximum supported resolution is 1920 x 1200 at 165 MHz pixel clock. If the source outputs a higher resolution or refresh rate, the converter will not display an image. Verify that the source device can be configured to 1080p or 1920 x 1200 before purchase.

Questions about this item
Will the power adapter or electrolytic capacitors inside the VC180 need replacement after years of continuous use?
The converter draws 3.2 W at 5.3 VDC from its external power adapter; the adapter is a standard replaceable unit and the metal enclosure has no internal fans or user-serviceable capacitors.
What resolution ceiling will I hit first when driving the VC180 at its maximum pixel clock of 165 MHz?
The pixel clock caps output at 165 MHz, which corresponds to the stated maximum of 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) and 1080p; higher resolutions cannot be displayed.
How much heat and noise does the VC180 produce when left on all day?
At 3.2 W total consumption the metal case acts as a passive heatsink; there is no fan, so the unit runs silently and only becomes slightly warm to the touch.
