Types of VGA Connectors:
- Standard VGA - Standard VGA connectors come in a variety of different sizes and possess a different number of pins; 15-pin connectors are commonplace while the compatible 9-pin variety is used as well. The standard VGA connector is a trapezoid shape. Although other technologies like DVI and HDMI exist, many newer models will support VGA as it continues to be the standard for both monitors and PCs. The technology behind VGA was developed in 1987 by IBM. Originally the maximum display resolution was 640x480 pixels and VGA could only support 256 colors. VGA was originally developed as a replacement technology for the digital video transfer methods that came before. While digital video has its advantages, an analog transfer such as VGA actually provides a higher amount of output than digital forms
- SVGA or Super Video Graphics Array - SVGA, Super Video Graphics Array, is an improved design based on the original VGA standard. SVGA has the ability to support up to 16 million different colors and resolution that is greater than 640X480. This is especially useful today as many screen sizes now support 800X600, 1024X768 or greater resolutions. Computers today are equipped with powerful video cards that can handle SVGA. Older computers, however, may not have the processing power to handle the 16 million colors and large resolution that SVGA provides
- Mini-VGA - This type of VGA connector was developed in response to a specific hardware requirement. Laptops are, by design, required to be portable. This often leads to non-standard hardware being used in order for that to happen. To conserve hardware size and weight, the mini-VGA connector was created. Mini-VGA aims to provide the same output as a SVGA connection but in a smaller package. The family of Apple computers, such as eMac, iMac, iBooks and MacBooks, come with a mini-VGA port and an adapter is required to connect to a standard VGA or SVGA port
How to Convert HD to VGA?
Many televisions are now built with HD capability. This means the picture resolution is better than a standard resolution television. With the upgrade in picture comes a different cable connection need. If you are connecting an HD television with either an HD cable receiver or Blu-ray player, you are going to use either HDMI or component cables. However, if you want to connect an HD device with a VGA monitor (usually used with computers) you cannot use an HDMI cable connections. For this. you are limited to only using component cables.
Instructions
- Plug the component ends of the component to VGA adapter into the "Component Out" ports on the HD device. Component video cables have three different connections, with a blue, red and green cable all providing different attributes to the color connection. Make sure the cables are connected to the same colored ports.
- Attach the VGA end of the adapter to the VGA port on the monitor. The port is made up of three rows of pins and has tightening screws on the side. Rotate these screws clockwise to tighten the screws and secure the connection between the cable and the VGA monitor.
- Power on both the HD device and the VGA computer monitor. You can now begin sending the HD signal to the monitor. Because component cables can send both HD and SD video signals, the image will be the best quality the VGA monitor can produce.
How to Buy VGA Gender Changers?
Video Graphics Array, or VGA, is the standard analog display connector for most computers. VGA connectors can be found on more than just computer monitors, though. Many HD TVs, multimedia projectors, video game consoles and laptops have VGA connectors. When dealing with different VGA inputs and outputs, it may be necessary to buy a few VGA gender changers for compatibility.
Instructions
- Make sure you know which end is which. This seems simple enough, but before you buy a gender changer, you need to know what you're dealing with. The male end of a VGA connector is the side with the pins. There should be 15 pins arranged in 3 rows. The female end of a VGA connector has 15 holes that the pins on the male end fit into. The male end fits over the female end and typically fastens by screws on each side of the connector.
- Figure out what VGA gender you need to change from. The standard VGA cable you are going to deal with probably has male ends on both sides. If you need a VGA gender changer for a typical VGA cable, you will need it to be female on one end. Also check to see what gender you need on the other end.
- Look for VGA gender changers that are also adapters from another format. DVI, for example, is another popular video format. You can find DVI to VGA adapters that are also gender changers. Again, make sure you know whether you need male or female on each end of the adapter.
- Buy mini VGA gender changers for laptops. Because of size limitations, VGA connectors on laptops are smaller and look a little different, but it is still VGA. If you want to plug your laptop into another monitor or a projector, you may have to buy an adapter that will also be a gender changer.
