How To Change VGA To Component

By: Roberto Garabell

VGA to Component Video Convertor allows you to convert a VGA signal to Component Video, S-Video or Composite Video. The reason you require a converter and not just a cable is that a VGA to Component Video Cable will not convert the signal; the cable is employed generally to connect the component video through a VGA connector on some projectors.

The VGA to Component Video is similar to our "PC to TV" convertor but has Component Video outputs via three colour-coded (red, green, blue) jacks . It is ran through a USB port on the computer. VGA connector , is a three-row 15-pin DE-15 connector, device of which there are four types:

(i)The original - VGA15 pin - out connector
(ii)DDC2 pin - out connector
(iii)The older, less bendable DE-9 connector
(iv)The Mini-VGA employed for laptop computers.

A Video Graphics Array (VGA) signal carries information over a cable to display visual information , normally on a computer monitor, LCD screen or high-definition television. The VGA cable is equipped with four-sided plugs on both ends containing 15 pins, organized in three rows. The plugs attach securely with two locking screws like older printer-cable screws.

While not all graphics devices are equipped with a VGA jack, converting the VGA signal to component video (which most devices have) needs an device sold at electronics and computer stores. This might be a favourable connection for hooking up a laptop to an HDTV, for example.

So to link it for use you will require the following instructions:

1. Link the VGA cable to the device that produces the VGA video signal by inserting the plug on one end of the cable straight into the jack. The plug goes in with the wider edge tilted upward and all pins aligned with the holes in three rows inside the VGA connector.

2. Screw the locking bolt clockwise by hand on each side of the VGA plug to secure it to the connector.

3. Put in the other end of the VGA cable into the adapter, which has a VGA connector on one end with 15 holes in three rows. Hold this connection with the locking bolts

4. Connect the plugs on the other ends of the adapter cable to component video jacks on a computer monitor or television screen. The RGB component cable plugs are colour-coded to match up with the Red, Green and Blue component video jacks on the monitor or TV.
