The Video Separator is a signal booster and splitter that is used to take video input from a single source and direct
it to eight outputs for monitors using analog signals. The signal boost obtained by using the VS-108 allows you not
only to split the signal but to extend the distance that you can send the signal to about 210 feet (65 meters). This is
no mean feat, your average VGA card can, over a standard VGA cable, send a clear VGA signal approximately 25
feet. This makes public broadcasts from a single computer very feasible. If you want to display the same
information on many monitors at once, such as in a classroom environment, or at a demonstration, this product
performs incredibly well.
Bandwidth is the term that is used to describe the signal capacity of these units. In general, bandwidth is directly
proportional to the amount of data transmited per unit of time. Specifically, in analog signals, bandwidth is the
difference between the highest-frequency and the lowest frequency components of a given signal. For example a
voice telephone signal has a bandwidth of 3000 Hz (or 3000 cycles per second), where an analog TV signal has a
bandwidth of approximately 6MHZ (or 6 million cycles per second) which is approximately 2000 times greater
than a simple voice phone call. These units have a bandwidth of 200MHz (which is 200 million cycles per second)
and that is a little more than 33 times greater than a simple TV signal. This huge bandwidth allows for the
transmission of large amounts of information at a very high rate of speed, and thus you can use the very high
resolution setting of 1600 x 1200 in 24 or 32 bit true color mode at a refresh rate of 60Hz.

•
One video input with either eight video outputs.
•
Transmission distance of up to 65M (210 feet).
•
Suitable for XGA, SVGA, VGA, and Multisync monitors.
•
Daisy-Chain multiple units together for even more outputs.
•
Power-save mode, when the computer is off the power indicator LED’s flash.
•
DDC Compatible: If you connect a DDC type monitor to Video Output #1 DDC will be supported. However,
All other monitors in use must support the highest video resolution that the DDC compliant monitor can
provide.
(DDC: This standard allows for communication between the monitor and the PC system for optimal
Video Connfiguration.)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
•
This unit is not designed for CGA, EGA or MONOCHROME type monitors or any monitor using a digital
video signal.
•
UL-2919 rated cable is recommended for the best video quality.
