A VGA Splitter is a signal booster and amplifier that splits the video signal from a single source, duplicates it and sends it to multiple display devices simultaneously and in real time. Due to its signal boosting and amplifying properties, the resultant images which are displayed are crisp and clear and support VGA, SVGA, UXGA, SXGA, XGA, and VGA resolutions up to 1920 x 1440 @ 60 Hz. The source is connected to the transmitter unit while the display is connected to the receiver unit of the splitter. Connections are secured using VGA cables. Number of displays that can be connected depends upon the number of ports in the VGA distribution amplifier.

Available in 2, 4, 8 and 16 ports, this device can also be cascaded for greater configurations and support a bandwidth of 350 MHz. Continue reading »

VGA Extender allows long distance transmission of video signals using category cables. Since cat5/6/5e cables are used, a distance of up to 950 feet can be achieved and use of bulky VGA cables is also eliminated thereby saving space and reducing clutter. For even greater distances, one can use the high end version which relays signals over fiber optic cables. This model operates on single and dual link fiber optic technology. Comprised of two units, a transmitter and a receiver, the former is connected with the source unit and the latter to the display. Once the connections are secured and the unit powered on, the device is ready to be used. Alternatively known as the vga to cat5 extension device, it works on simple plug and play functionality, is easy to install and does not require any additional software or device drivers for operation.

Video Graphics Array or VGA, as it is commonly referred, is the graphics standard used in older computers. Even though many computers today still support this graphics standard, it also depends on the type of monitor being used. These days the cables which carry the display signals are referred to as VGA cables. Available in a wide range and at different prices, the more expensive models have gold plated plugs or shielding which prevent Continue reading »
