A SVGA Splitter is used to not only to split the signal but also connect multiple monitors to a single analog video source. Video signals can be transmitted longer distances using these splitters. Also known as boosting devices or amplifiers, they send crystal clear VGA signals with a resolution of up to 1920 x 1440 @ 60 Hz and support ultra high bandwidth @ 400 MHz. Available in 2, 4, 8 and 16 ports and rack mountable versions, these splitters can be daisy chained for a larger distribution network. These devices support VGA; SVGA WUXGA, UXGA, SXGA, XGA, as well as multi sync monitors along with DDC, DDC2, DDC2B protocols.
This video splitter is equipped with high and low level brightness control and has a locking connector for cables. The input and output connectors are 15 pin HD female. Whereas the input connectors are used to connect the monitors, the output connector is used to connect the splitter to the CPU. No extra cables are required since the existing monitor cables can be used to connect the splitter. Power consumption is around 4.5 Watts. These splitters are also available with regulatory approvals from RoHS.
Certain high end models have the ability to switch to the auto power save mode when the input signal is lost. This type of VGA splitter has LEDs which indicate the input signal and power-save status. They are compatible with PCs, SUNs and MACs with SVGA video. Hosed in a metal casing, these devices are also available with the stereo audio option. Such splitters have an audio line level output and the audio input and output connectors are 1 x 3.5 mm and 8 x 3.5mm mini stereo jack. These products provide a fast, flexible solution for broadcasting video information to the public.
This product is mainly used in places where the same information needs to be displayed on various devices simultaneously. It makes public broadcasts from a single computer very feasible. Hence, the SVGA Video Splitter finds its use in classrooms, presentations, trade shows, exhibitions, digital signage applications and data centers.
