Video cable adapter Axagon RVH-VGN HDMI Type A to VGA

The Axagon RVH-VGN is an active HDMI to VGA adapter designed to connect a computer, set-top box, Xbox or PlayStation console with HDMI output to an older VGA monitor, TV or projector. The hardware converter requires no driver installation and supports video output up to 1920x1200 (WUXGA) at 60 Hz, delivering clear and sharp images through its compact cable adapter design.

Advantages

The adapter converts digital HDMI v1.4b signal to analog VGA reliably without additional software, supports HDCP 1.4 for protected content, and draws power directly from the HDMI source so no external power supply is needed. Its small dimensions and light weight make it convenient for portable use and installation in confined spaces.

How to use

Connect the HDMI male plug of the RVH-VGN adapter to the HDMI output of your source device and attach a VGA cable from the adapter's D-Sub 15-pin female connector to your VGA monitor, TV or projector. Switch the display source on the target device if necessary and set the desired resolution in the source device's display settings. No driver installation is required because conversion is performed by the adapter's internal hardware.

Usage recommendations

Use the maximum resolution supported by both the HDMI source and the VGA display (up to 1920x1200) for best image quality. If the target display shows no signal, verify the HDMI source outputs an active video signal and try reducing the resolution or refresh rate. Avoid bending the short cable sharply and operate the adapter within the specified temperature range.
