What is a Video Splitter?
To put it simply, a Video Splitter takes one signal from a video source and replicates over multiple monitors. How many times a Video Splitter divides the signal varies but Video Splitters currently on the market will do simple divisions of 2 ports all the way up to hundreds of ports. This article will tackle the purpose of when a Video Splitter will be needed as well as the many different types and styles of Video Splitters. Basic Video Splitters: Standard VGA Video Splitters make it possible for 2, 4, 8, or 16 SVGA, VGA, XGA, and Multisync monitors to be simultaneously driven from a single VGA video source. Applications such as classrooms, trade shows, point-of-sale, airports, process control, and security systems are perfect for VGA Video Splitters in which images are required to be replicated on several monitors. Resolutions that are typically supported can reach as high as 1900×1200. However, this is under the assumption that the split monitors are less than 20-30’away. Once a mon
A video splitter takes VGA video output from one source (i.e. one computer, or a user port of a KVM switch) and splits it to be displayed on multiple monitors. Depending on the model, the video signal can be sent over Cat5 cables or standard VGA cables to multiple monitors in varying distances from the video output source. Some models also support sending audio signals for multimedia applications, or serial signals for projection and touch-screen applications.
In its simplest term, a video splitter is a device that takes a signal from a single source and then duplicates it across several monitors or televisions. The amount of times this signal can be duplicated depends directly on the type of splitter you use. Euronetwork supply video splitters in three variations namely 2, 4 and 8 way splitters. These video splitters as their names suggest can duplicate twice, four times and eight times respectively. A video splitter is used for the replication of VGA video sources to multiple monitors and can be seen in action in airports and conference centres for example.
A video splitter is a device that takes one or more video input signals and combines them into one video output signal. Video splitters have controls for showing and one input full screen, or “splitting” the view to show each input at the same time. By adding a video splitter to one or more of the Landro encoder systems, it is possible to combine two separate camera angles into a single recording. This allows you to show both the interviewer and interviewee on the same screen. Adding this feature requires the purchase of a video splitter for each dual camera room. For software control of the video splitter, a MicroImage PXD310 is required.
