The Extron RGB-DVI 300 is a high performance RGB to DVI scaler that

converts incoming analog component video and RGBHV signals to DVI. It

accepts HDTV and high resolution computer-video signals, and offers single

link DVI output rates up to 1920x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60. The

RGB-DVI 300 is ideal for applications where newer displays with only DVI or

HDMI inputs are to be integrated into systems with analog RGB computer-

video sources.
