BNC to VGA converter

[This is the latest post as I have finished all my belated posts ever since my Notebook was gone]

There is a problem here. Originally, the customer needs a TV for their DVR. Fine. A wall cabinet system has been built and space has been left for a TV. A TV. Then, halfway through the installation, came another DVR. Another DVR. And so, by the time it was completed, the customer realised that they will need two TVs on the shelves. Two TVs.


And so, I have been discussing with the customer and their purchaser about this. In the meantime, they have out a temporary TV on the shelf. So, the TV will display the images from one DVR while a LCD screen on the coubter outside will display images from the remaining DVR.

Fine. It was not until I came to their place yesterday did I realise the classic cock-ups. The TV was not purchased and instead, two small LG flatscreen LCD monitors were there. Two small LG flatscreen LCD monitors. And now, because of that, I had to get the two video to VGA converters for them. Its not funny because one, its after five in the evening and I an in the evening traffic jam trying to get to the supplier's place which closes in half an hour's time. Two, its raining which is dangerous for me since the car has no aircon anymore and the windows fogs up easily.


This is the VGA converter, selling for about
RM2xx.00. It can take analog video, S-Video
and even another VGA. But it uses a power
adaptor to do all these


Its so simple, you just look at the diagram underneath.
But there is a small instruction booklet if you're not so
sure. The booklet is for me to slap you with if you don't
read it and call me up in the middle of the night instead.


And so, the LCD monitor looked so small in a shelf
meant for a large TV. Large TV. And no one can
see the images even if they're sitting more than
six feet away.

And so, two converters means two wall
power adaptors, means more mess

This is the image seen from a video input
and converted. Looks very blurry.

This is a direct image from the VGA output
using a 20metre VGA cable. See the difference.
