The Video Separator is a
signal booster and splitter that is used to take video
input from a single source and direct it to four video
outputs for monitors using analog signals. The signal
boost obtained by using the VS-134 allows you to not only
split the signal but to extend the distance so that you
can send the signal to about 210 feet. This is no mean
feat, your average VGA card, 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 transmitted per unit of time. Specifically, in
analog signals, bandwidth is the difference between the
highest-frequency and the lowest frequency components of a
givin 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 350MHz (which is 350 million cycles
per second) and that is almost 60 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 1920 x 1440 in 24 or 32 bit true
color mode at a refresh rate of 80Hz.
