VGA box
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A VGA box is a video converter that allows the display of common analogue video standards on a VGA computer monitor. Video signals converted on this kind of unit range from S-Video to composite video signals. Some VGA boxes have audio outputs on them so that they can also act as plug adaptors for RCA audio inputs to use computer speakers. Some models of VGA boxes allow a computer with a multipin high-resolution port to use them on other occasions. Others models include devices that convert VGA signals to composite, S-video or component video (and maybe SCART in Europe).
People have used this type of device so they can use their game consoles, VCRs and DVD players on their computer monitor.
