Unfortunately, no. VGA is an analog interface, whereas the OPDV971H is a purely digital DVI interface. Consequently, the OPDV971H will not transmit an analog signal. In order to use the OPDV971H on a VGA (RGB) device, you would need a separate digital to analog converter for VGA output. Please note some DVI-VGA adapters that come with computer video cards will not work, because those adapters only work for DVI-I output, which has both digital and analog signals. The OPDV971H has a DVI-D output, which is purely digital.
