Chapter 2: Overview

2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

The Compact Video Splitter (2-, 4-, or 8-port) broadcasts and boosts one VGA signal source to 2, 4, or 8 VGA monitors. Use it for presentations, exhibits, demonstrations, trade shows, monitor testing, or business meetings.

There’s no software or interface card to install. Simply connect the cables, power on the splitter, and you’re ready to transmit one VGA image to multiple monitors with excellent quality. A high-bandwidth circuit enables a high-resolution, 350-MHz VGA signal to display on 2 or 4 monitors, or a 300-MHz signal to display on 8 monitors.

The maximum distance between the VGA input source and the output can be up to 210 feet (64 m). (For distances longer than 10 feet [3 m], you must supply the output cables.) The splitter works with VGA, SVGA, and multisync monitors to provide crisp, clear VGA images. Cascade splitters for more VGA outputs. (Call Tech Support for details.) If the VGA input is lost, the splitter automatically saves power.
