VGA (Video Graphic Array) splitter is a hardware device that is used to display the computer’s video signal that has VGA output to as many as 16 VGA monitors; there is also a provision of making a series of multiple VGA splitters so as to display the image on 90 or more display devices/monitors. The big advantage of vga splitter is that the images are crystal clear since there is no loss of signal, also because the splitter has the ability to amplify the signal. When the splitter is used with inexpensive Cat5 / Cat5e / Cat6 cables, the video signals could be extended up to 984ft; and the protocols that it follows are DDC, DDC2, and DDC2B.
VGA distribution amplifier is a hardware device that allows the video signals to boost and also it acts as a splitter, allowing the display of computer’s video signal with VGA output on multiple monitors.
It is basically used to distribute high resolution video signals to multiple displays; because of the boosting power of this device, it enhances the video signal to a great extend allowing crystal clear pictures to be delivered. There are basically three form factors that are Portable, Rack Mount and Wall Mount which have been brought in so as to make distribution amplifier suitable for each and every application that requires high performance distribution of video signal. Speaking of how it works, well it’s pretty simple, the distribution amplifier takes the signal from one port of a computer and amplifies it and then splits the signal in order to feed multiple high resolution displays.
Specially designed Inline video distribution amplifier is used for video signals such as Composite video, S-Video, RGBS or RGBHV.
VGA Splitters have been made available in various port sizes such as 2, 4, 8, 16 and 18 port. Theses are primarily used for classrooms, digital signage and trade shows so as to provide high quality video signals displayed on multiple monitors. These devices come in very handy and are very useful for displaying a video signal from a source that has VGA output on to 16 monitors, without affecting the video clarity.
