Super Video Graphics Array – SVGA- is the standard term applicable to a large range of computer display standards. Normally SVGA defines the resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. A SVGA cable is used to link all your media together to be accessed through your monitor. Make sure the SVGA cable is shielded cable to prevent interference and picture disruptions.
IBM’s VGA standard was first released in 1987, and the Super VGA – SVGA- supposed to be a progression of VGA, followed on and was defined by VESA –Video Electronics Standard Association – which was set up as an open consortium for the promotion of inter-operability and also to define standards. .
This led to leading graphic chip producers making parts, that would be available for high color video cards, in line with the specifications needed for SVGA.
The analog output of the SVGA card is performed digitally by the internal calculations the video card needs to perform, to achieve output voltages. Analog voltage is used in the interface between the vido card and SVGA monitor, to show the variety of color. So there is no limit theoretically, where the monitor is concerned, to the amount of different colors that are shown. This will apply to all SVGA and VGA monitors. From the late 90’s all display systems were produced as high performance models, and are classified as SVGA. Models of monitors before this date might be using EGA and an older version of the video graphics card which might not work for linking your media to your older version monitor with an SVGA cable.
SVGA cables allow you to link all your visual and audio media to your monitor which can be done either directly to the monitor or via your computer which acts as a central control center. Cameras where you download your photo’s for display on the monitor, audio dvds, DVD’s for movie watching, your computer which has your files of DVD’s and Audio, plus photo’s can all be seen on your monitor.
Of course all of this has to be synchronized in a remote control which is quite an ordeal to operate. You need to be very good technically to co-ordinate this set-up, so if you are all thumbs when it comes to the technicalities of doing this and using the SVGA cables, have your local media technician install the set-up for you.
Technology is really improving in leaps and bounds, and it is already possible to have your whole house synchronised, lights, sounds, gates, kettle, video of your inside of the house on your cell phone, to operate from one small compact part of that media.
SVGA cables are part of that technology helping to link all your media, thus making enterainment that is much more accessable and easier to manage.
