Does anyone know of an adapter that will allow me to run a DVI-D signal
through a VGA cable (turn a VGA cable into a DVI-D cable)? Problem is that my computer has a DVI output, and my flat-screen TV in another room has a DVI input (digital only) but the only wire running through the walls is a VGA cable. When I google it I am only finding results for adapters to go from DVI to VGA. I did try a standard DVI to VGA adapter on both ends and it didn't work. I think it is only passing the analog part of the signal so there is nothing to "convert back" at the digital end. Thanks |

The TV is only DVI-D in How about http://www.nti1.ca/dvi-vga.html and http://www.nti1.ca/vga-dvi.html Sounds like it would convert the DVI-D to analog to send over your VGA cable and then back to digital at the other end rather than actually sending the digital signal as-is, though.

The TV is only DVI-D in Because a VGA cable doesn't have enough individual conductors, you can't do what you want to do with simple adapters. |
