  • Can I buy a composite>VGA converter with inputs for multiple devices?

    I need to connect two different camcorders to two different VGA screens. To do this, I know I need a converter. Do i need a separate converter for each one? Does anyone sell a converter box that lets you hook up multiple devices?

    Do you need to connect one camera to each screen, or alternate between each camera to one, the other, or both VGA monitors?

    I believe you’ll need a separate VGA converter dedicated to each camera/screen combo. I’ve never seen one that will do multiple inputs to multiple outputs… and it one exists, it’d probably be a pretty expensive piece of routing hardware.

    On the upside, going with two separate dedicated converters is easy, and they’re pretty cheap.

    Two small, basic composite to VGA converters = problem solved.
