AlterImage RGB to DVI Converter

The Logical Solution

The Thinklogical™ AlterImage Converter (AIC-1) and the AlterImage converter/Extender (AIE-1) are designed to take advantage of advanced displays
with the DVI-D interface using an existing RGB source. Industry standard RGB video formats up to 108MHz are flawlessly converted to DVI and transported over multi-mode fiber.

The System

Each system consists of a single unit capable of converting VGA (analog video signals) into compatible DVI (digital video signals). Each unit has the ability to drive two independent DVI outputs. The unit has a VGA loop-thru to connect a VGA monitor.

The unit also can be ordered with a fiber output option to transport the converted signals up to 1000 meters (3280 feet).

The Models

The AIC-1 (AlterImage Converter) converts an RGB source into two DVI-D signals.
The AIE-1 (AlterImage Extender) converts an RGB source into two DVI-D signals, plus extends the signal over multi-mode fiber to any Thinklogical™ Receiver.
The AIE-1 (AlterImage Extender) model is available with SC- or ST-type fiber connectors.
