Page 8: Introduction
CHAPTER 2: Introduction 2. Introduction Normally, computers are designed to drive their VGA (Video Graphics Array) output to only one nearby monitor. Often, however, circumstances call for VGA output to be driven to one or several monitors far away from the computer. -
Page 9: Installation
VGA VIDEO SPLITTERS 3. Installation 3.1 The Complete Package You should have received all of these things with your Splitter order: • (1) VGA Video Splitter of the appropriate model • (1) External transformer (power supply) • (1) 6-ft (1.8-m) DB15HD-male-to-DB15HD-male video cable for connecting the computer’s VGA output to the VGA Video Splitter •... - Page 10 CHAPTER 3: Installation 7. The four-position DIP switch marked MONITOR TYPE on the front panel of the VGA Video Splitter tells the VGA adapter in your computer what type of monitors you have connected when the computer boots up. For a standard application in which your remote monitor(s) are pretty much interchangeable with your primary monitor (the one on MONITOR 1), move all four switch positions to the “UP”...

Page 11: Extending Your Distance
VGA VIDEO SPLITTERS 3.3 Extending Your Distance The maximum distance to which a VGA Video Splitter can drive signals to a VGA monitor depends primarily on the quality of the cable being used and the pixel resolution and refresh rate of the VGA image coming from the computer. -
Page 12: Cascading
CHAPTER 3: Installation 3.4 Cascading If you need to display your computer’s VGA output on more monitors than a single VGA Video Splitter can handle, you can always “cascade” Splitters: You can connect secondary Splitters to the MONITOR ports on the primary Splitter with short DB15HD-male-to-DB15HD-male cables. -
Page 13: Operation
VGA VIDEO SPLITTERS 4. Operation The VGA Video Splitters provide a reliable means of getting your VGA images to widespread arrays of monitors: They use equalized amplification to compensate for the normal signal losses that occur when you run cable to VGA monitors at longer distances. -
Page 14: Applications
CHAPTER 5: Applications 5. Applications VGA Video Splitters are used where a number of monitors need to be connected to one computer. Typical applications would include classrooms, business meetings, and trade shows. In a conference room or demonstration room, for example, the VGA Video Splitter can feed images to the PC’s own VGA monitor plus others located around the room or on the demonstration table. -
