The Solution: Video Converters and Scalers from Audio Authority
Audio Authority offers three solutions for the “PC to HDTV” dilemma.
The Model 9A60 VGA to Component Transcoder is a simple transcoder that takes the RGB signal in a VGA output,
and converts it to the YPbPr colorspace and appropriate component video connectors. Simply put, it solves the
colorspace issue, but leaves additional adjustments to the user and their computer.
The Model 1366 PC/HD Scaler with Advanced Video Processing is the most capable of Audio Authority’s video
scaling products for component video. It includes all of the 1365’s features, but adds a passthrough port for preserving
the original signal, supports far more input and output resolutions, and has image size controls. It solves the colorspace,
resolution, refresh rate, and image size dilemmas. The device has an advanced onscreen menu for easy setup.
The Model 1385 PC to HDMI Scaler with Advanced Video Processing has all the same video processing attributes
(solving the colorspace, resolution, refresh rate, and image size dilemmas), but outputs HDMI instead of component
video. It is best for applications that require an HDMI input instead of component. The device has an advanced
onscreen menu for easy setup.
Application Features
These are the three most common PC to HDTV conversion applications we are confronted with on a daily basis – one
likely fits your application. Read below to learn which products are best suited to specific applications. “Recommended”
devices best fit the requirements of the applications discussed, while “Possible” devices may be more cost effective and
have the potential to accomplish a task, but will not necessarily be the quickest or simplest solution to the application.
1366 9A60 1385
Application 1: Home – Computer using an HDTV as a Monitor
In this application, the same computer will likely always be hooked to the same TV.
The best solution will enable a quick, simple setup and good picture quality with a
minimum investment of time. The user can adjust their output settings manually with
PowerStrip or DisplayConfigX to create a compatible signal by using the simple 9A60
transcoder, or use a more advanced device with built in signal processing and scaling
to achieve the goal more quickly and accurately, without changing their computer’s
settings.
The 1385 and the 1366 are the simplest, quickest full-service solutions for this application because these devices make
the complicated video adjustments outboard, rather than by manipulating the computer’s graphics card manually. The
9A60 can yield excellent results, but only after extensive manual setup and adjustment of the source computer.
