VGA Splitter
VGA stands for Video Graphics Array and refers to a standard of analogue computer display that was first introduced in 1987. It is supported by all PC graphics hardware at the stage prior to a device-specific driver being loaded.
A VGA splitter is a device or mechanism that splits a PC’s VGA signal through multiple VGA connections. This means that the output from one PC can be displayed on monitors and other VGA devices. Two types of VGA splitter are available: external VGA splitters and internal VGA splitters. An external VGA splitter is a device which accepts incoming connections from PC graphics cards and then connects to two, four or eight monitors. The number of monitors this type of splitter allows connection to is dependent upon whether the splitter is a two port, four port or eight port type. An internal splitter is a card that fits into your PC, in a similar way to a PCI card. This type of VGA splitter collects input from the computer graphics card and sends the data to the connected monitors.
For situations when information needs to be shared in real time and at a number of locations, the VGA splitter is an ideal solution as it allows video images to be broadcast to distances of up to 820 ft to multiple screens or monitors.
