OVERVIEW

Sure, there are VGA splitters everywhere. But how many 

of them support the high resolutions of XGA? Not many. 
But Black Box has the best one!

The 4-Port XGA Video Splitter enables you to connect up

to four XGA or VGA monitors to a single CPU. It provides
amplification of video signals with very high bandwidths
(exceeding 250 MHz) and ensures operation at resolutions 
up to 1600 x 1200.

Place monitors where you need them! Set up video

displays throughout your retail establishment. Place monitors
on a factory floor while keeping the CPU in a separate clean
room.

Video splitters enable you to take a single video signal

from your PC and split it into two or more signals to two or
more monitors. This capability makes video splitters invaluable
for applications in education, sales, industry, and advertising.

A video splitter reamplifies the video signal in order to

divide it without losing quality. Each port has its own video
drivers for individual gain and impedance compensation, so
each port is independent of the others—you can locate
monitors at varying distances and get optimum quality on
each.

Because a video splitter reamplifies the video signal, it also

acts as a short-range video extender. A normal video signal
right from the back of your PC can go about 50 feet (15.2 m)
before it starts to deteriorate.

Video Splitter can boost that distance up to

600 feet (182.9 m), depending on your application. Our video
splitters are available with up to 10 channels and are compat-
ible with a variety of video standards. One is right for your
application.

Technically Speaking

The 4-Port XGA Video Splitter has two standard outputs

capable of driving signals up to 100 to 200 feet (30.5 to 61 m)
in length, depending on resolution. Its two DX outputs can
be programmed using DIP switches on the unit to drive
signals up to 600 feet (182.9 m) on two channels—you don’t
need a booster or special software of any kind!

Models are available for use in North America and the

U.K. Both versions of the splitter come with a power supply
and a 6-ft. (1.8-m) HD15 male to HD15 male VGA cable.

Setup is easy. Using the included VGA cable, connect the

input of the 4-Port XGA Video Splitter to your computer’s
video output connector. Attach the power supply to the
splitter, then plug it into a wall outlet. Now you’re now ready
to do some high-resolution, long-distance video splitting!
