#DIGITAL TO ANALOG VIDEO CONVERTER DVI TO S VIDEO INSTALL#
Install a video card in the computer that has a matching port like the one found on the A/V component.If the computer and A/V component do not have any matching ports it will be necessary to do one of the following: From this point you can move to setting the resolution and refresh rate. For example, if the computer uses a DVI port to output the video signal and the A/V component has a DVI port for receiving the video signal, then all you need to do is connect a DVI cable to both of the DVI ports the same applies to the other types of ports. If your A/V component and computer each have a matching video port, then you can simply connect both devices by using the appropriate type of cable. First, examine the TV and A/V component to see what types of video ports are available. Using one of the following connetions will work but the resolution or picture quality will be lower: S-Video and Composite video.ĭepending on the ports available on your A/V component and computer, it may be possible to connect your A/V component to a computer. For the best video quality, try using one of the following connections: VGA, DVI, HDMI, or Component Video. NOTE: While your connection options may be limited by what is available on the computer and the TV, one important thing to know is that the video quality displayed on the television will be determined by the connection method used to connect the computer. In this solution we will look at these challenges and provide options to overcome these challenges. Most of the time a computer is manufactured to be connected to a computer monitor and a TV is designed to accept connection from a video device like a Blu-ray Disc® (BD) or DVD player or a cable set-top box, a satellite receiver or a Digital Video Recorder (DVR). The biggest challenges of connecting a computer to an A/V component is the connection type, resolution and refresh rate.
