The Kramer VGA VP200N and VP400N splitters allow
you take a single VGA image (and up to UXGA) and duplicate it so that more than one screen can
display identical outputs. These are active devices ensuring highest quality VGA
images to each monitor.
The VGA splitters output connections are the standard 15 pin HD female VGA
sockets. These are used for direct connections to monitors. For longer
transmission distances Category 5e cable can be used in conjunction with active VGA baluns.
The VGA splitters are available in 1:2 and 1:4 options. These VP200N and VP400N versions are HDTV compatible, and have a selectable sync input impedence of
75 Ohms for normal video input, and 510 Ohms for graphics and TTL inputs. This allows you to select the correct horizontal sync and vertical sync for digital graphics cards.
(NB: The standard VP200 or VP400 does not have this selectable impedance for graphics cards).
The VP200N and VP400N also have ID Bit control. Sometimes notebook computers refuse to output a VGA signal to an external VGA monitor. By setting this switch
underneath the VP200N and VP400N to ON, the notebook will output to an external VGA monitor. (This feature is not on the VP200 or VP400 VGA splitters from Kramer).
Adapters are available as optional extras for mounting in 19 inch racks.
If you want to distribute VGA to multiple monitors over Category 5e cable then use the Gefen VGA 1:8 distribution amplifier or
Active VGA balun splitter system.
