Speco - BNCVGAHR - Use a VGA Monitor to View a Composite Video Signal – High Resolution
Product Overview
The Speco BNCVGAHR is a video signal converter that allows a composite (BNC) video source to be displayed on a standard VGA monitor (CRT or LCD) at high resolution, up to 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz. It includes dual outputs (BNC for a TV monitor and DB15 for a VGA monitor), on-screen display controls, and support for both NTSC and PAL video systems. It is compliant with NDAA Section 889 Part B guidelines.
Key Configuration
Model: BNCVGAHR | Resolution/Capacity: Up to 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz; frequency output 60Hz to 85Hz | Input/Output: Composite video (BNC) in; dual output — BNC x 1 for TV monitor, DB15 x 1 for VGA monitor | Connectivity: Supports NTSC and PAL video systems | Protection: NDAA Section 889 Part B compliant; 2-year warranty
Key Features
- • Allows composite video output to be viewed on a VGA monitor (CRT or LCD).
- • High resolution VGA display up to 1280 x 1024@60Hz.
- • OSD video control: brightness, contrast, color, tint, features, resolution.
- • Compact size and low working temperature.
- • Built-in auto AGC for picture quality.
Technical Context
The converter scales a composite video signal to a VGA raster, allowing an analog camera or DVR output to be displayed on a standard CRT or LCD computer monitor instead of a dedicated CCTV monitor. Built-in automatic gain control compensates for weak or variable input levels to hold picture quality, and on-screen display controls expose brightness, contrast, colour, tint and resolution adjustment at the converter rather than requiring them at the source. The dual output means the original BNC feed remains available to a TV monitor while the VGA output drives the computer display.
Installation Notes
A power supply is included. Both outputs are live simultaneously, so the converter can be inserted into an existing run without displacing the original monitor. The unit is specified as compact with a low working temperature, suiting installation inside equipment cabinets.
