Description
Download Manual The Adder DVA is a compact inline video converter that converts analog VGA signals to DVI-D digital output. It supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz and conforms to the DVI 1.0 standard. The unit is USB powered so no external power adapter is required and it integrates cleanly into existing AV setups.
DVA includes automatic horizontal and vertical calibration plus a Virtual Control Panel app for manual adjustments. The VCP app offers brightness, tone and sharpness controls and a built-in test pattern for accurate alignment.

The device is flash upgradeable via USB to allow EDID updates and custom configurations. It draws less than 300mA (approximately 1.5W) from a standard USB port during operation.
Connectivity includes a VGA DB15 input and a DVI-D output along with a USB type B input for control and a USB type A pass-through for low-powered peripherals. The VCP app requires Windows 7 or later with .NET Framework 3.5. DVA is compatible with any computer that provides a VGA output and common DVI displays.
This converter is commonly used to modernize legacy VGA systems, connect older PCs to DVI-only displays, and integrate analog sources into KVM/AV-over-IP workflows. It is also suitable for control rooms, broadcast racks and AV test environments where reliable EDID handling and simple USB-powered operation are required. The compact metal housing makes it convenient for inline installation.
Installation is straightforward – plug the VGA and USB control cable into the source and connect the DVI-D output to the display, then run the VCP app if manual adjustment or EDID changes are needed. The robust metal case and small footprint provide durable, rack-friendly operation and easy deployment. The unit is CE and FCC approved and operates between 0 to 40°C for standard AV environments.
