Black Box VG-DVI

Overview

The Black Box VG-DVI is an in-line DVI-D EDID Ghost designed to capture, store, and emulate Extended Display Identification Data between a video source and a monitor. It supports resolutions up to 2560 x 1600, allowing graphics cards to output the correct signal without manual adjustments. This device is especially useful in environments where displays are frequently swapped or powered down, such as conference rooms, digital signage networks, KVM racks, and test benches.

By learning the display’s EDID, the VG-DVI ensures continuous video output even when the monitor is disconnected, preventing blank screens and port deactivation. Its metal housing provides durability, and compliance with CE and RoHS standards makes it suitable for regulated settings.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
