I want to know if once the HDMI signal is converted to VGA can I use a VGA to DVI connector to attach it to a DVI slot?
It would be better if you just got a HDMI to DVI adapter. But on your question. If that's the way you want to do it then, yes that should work.
What are you trying to do here. As the digital video signal with HDMI and DVI is the same there is a simple converter within one plug available. If there is something else involved here contact me on email from here
i'm fairly helpful the DVI port on a 7770 has what's huge-unfold as DVI-I, meaning that the DVI port helps the two digital and analog modes. this means you ought to use a DVI-VGA adapter on it as VGA is an analog technologies. some ingredient different than VGA/S-Video/factor is digitally based. you additionally can use DVI-HDMI adapters, even if if a extensive style of DVI ports do no longer help injecting audio into the HDMI bypass.
The HDMI signal cannot be (easily) connected to a VGA because HDMI is digital, and VGA is analog. Also, be wary as there are 2 types of DVI connections. DVI-I and DVI-D. DVI-I is analog and thus cannot be (easily) connected to HDMI, but can be connected to VGA. DVI-D is digital, and can be connected to HDMI, but not VGA. I know this is confusing, but you need to know that for simple converters, you can only connected Digital to Digital and Analog to Analog. Therefore, for your question, I would go directly from HDMI to DVI-D. If you were to try and connect digital and analog signals together, you would need a live converter, which is quite expensive to the extent where it would be cheaper to buy a new monitor.
