• Includes 3-ft. (0.9-m) USB cable.

USB is the connectivity standard for today's PCs, replacing familiar serial ports. However, many commercial and industrial devices still use RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 interfaces. To connect these devices to modern PCs, you need simple and reliable converters.

The Black Box Mini USB-to-Serial Converter offers USB-to-serial conversion in a space saving package. Simply plug the converter into an available USB port on your computer or USB hub and install the drivers supplied on CD ROM. The serial device will show up as an additional COM port in the Windows Device Manager.

RS-485 (two- and four-wire)

• Support TDA, TDB, RDA, RDB, and GND.
• Baud rates up to 921 Kbps.
• Use on RS-485 2-wire or RS-422/485 4-wire networks.
• Support Send Data Control (SDC).

RS-232

• Full handshake support (TD, RD, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD, RI, GND).
• Baud rates up to 460 Kbps.

The VGA to DVI-D Converter enables you to convert and adjust analog video for output on a single-link DVI-D display.

Mix and match
This converter is ideal for applications with a mix of old and new equipment, such as older PC CPUs with just analog video output and newer digital displays. It supports VGA resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 HZ.

Plug-n-play
Even better, this plug-n-play converter automatically calibrates for horizontal and vertical position on the DVI screen. You can also manually adjust the positioning.

EDID management
The converter includes EDID management, which is critical in VGA to DVI-D conversion. EDID management ensures that the correct settings are passed through.

USB powered
The converter is USB powered and requires no separate power adapter. Instead it draws less than 300 mA from a spare USB port on the computer. A USB pass-through port on the converter enables a low-powered USB device to be connected so the total number of USB ports remain available for other uses.

Flash upgradeable
The converter is flash upgradeable enabling custom EDID adjustments for non-standard operations. The upgrades are achieved via the USB port.

Adjust the picture
A Virtual Control Panel (VCP) app enables you to adjust the brightness, tone, and sharpness of the picture. You can also adjust the vertical and horizontal video alignment.
