Headquartered in Sunnyvale California, Atlona Technologies develops dynamic solutions for the audio-video industry. Their vast product line covers numerous innovative and high quality audio-video products. NASA, Lockheed Martin and others have adopted the company's audio-video solutions and technologies into their own leading-edge endeavors. However, the company receives their biggest revenue from the entertainment industry, medical digital imaging, the broadcast industry, businesses and the home user. The Altona AT-HDVieW is one of the company's leading VGA to HDMI converter solutions for both audio and video signals.
The Atlona AT-HDVieW VGA to HDMI converter is a plug-and-play, USB-powered VGA converter. The HDMI converter has a sleek, slim, and pleasant appearance that can blend in well with the décor of most living rooms and office settings.
The VGA to HDMI device can take the analog video and audio signal from a desktop computer or laptop and convert that signal to a digital HDMI-compatible output for HDTVs, flat panel monitors and many other digital display devices. The HDMI converter is not just limited to the computer for an input signal. Users can also connect their iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, BlackBerry, Kindle and other portable devices to the VGA converter and have them display on HD big-screen televisions.
Users will appreciate how easy the HDMI converter is to use. It automatically detects the targeted digital device's native display resolution and scales the computer's output to match this resolution. The VGA converter supports an HDMI output of up to 1080p.
The VGA converter also takes the computer's audio signal and embeds this signal into the HDMI output. This innovative feature allows the user to enjoy both audio and video streams through one integrated cable. No longer does the converter connection require numerous tangled and unmanageable cords and wires.
The Atlona AT-HDVieW VGA to HDMI box comes equipped with a scaler-converter component. This feature allows the VGA converter to work without any adjustments to the computer's video card software. Moreover, the scaler-converter can significantly increase the quality of the output video.
The Atlona AT-HDVieW does have some limitations. The VGA converter's output signal is only 60 Hertz. This limits the HDMI converter's use in countries outside of the USA and Canada. Customers who reside in other areas will need to consider alternate VGA to HDMI products available on the market.
The Atlona AT-HDVieW converter is easy to setup and use. The output signal retains the integrity and quality of the original analog video signal. The VGA converter also preserves the original sound quality of the input signal.
The VGA converter comes bundled with built-in audio, VGA and pig-tailed USB cables. For the customer's convenience and ease of set up, the manufacturer also includes six feet of HDMI cable. The HDMI converter needs no bulky power connector because the VGA to HDMI converter receives all of its needed power via the computer's USB port.

The manufacturer also provides free driver updates for the HDMI converter appliance.
