Black Box VGA 4-Channel Video Splitter, 115-VAC

Experience dependable, multi-monitor VGA distribution with the Black Box VGA 4-Channel Video Splitter. Designed for classrooms, conference rooms, control centers, and digital signage, this compact device delivers reliable, high-bandwidth video to up to four displays from a single VGA source. With a 300-MHz bandwidth, it preserves sharp image quality across standard VGA, SVGA, and XGA resolutions, ensuring your content looks crisp whether it’s a presentation, a live feed, or an instructional video. The quick setup is engineered for busy environments: simply plug in your monitors, attach the included VGA input cable, and configure the DIP switches to tailor the distribution to your needs. This 115-VAC powered splitter is built to perform in demanding settings while keeping cable management straightforward and installation fast.

• Plug-and-play versatility with quick setup: Connect your computer or video source to the single VGA input, attach up to four displays to the four output ports, and use the DIP switches to select the desired distribution pattern. The straightforward plug-and-play design minimizes downtime and technician time, making it ideal for classrooms, training rooms, and conference areas that demand reliable multi-monitor output without complicated routing hardware.
• High bandwidth for sharp, consistent images: The 300-MHz bandwidth preserves graphic detail and color accuracy as it distributes video across multiple screens. Whether you’re showing high-contrast presentations, technical diagrams, or multimedia content, expect clear text, crisp lines, and smooth gradients on every monitor connected to the splitter.
• Supports standard VGA family resolutions: Engineered to handle VGA, SVGA, and XGA resolutions, this splitter accommodates a wide range of displays and sources. It’s suitable for legacy projectors, LCD displays, and CRTs, ensuring compatibility with existing equipment in training labs, meeting rooms, and retail environments while maintaining compatibility with newer displays that still rely on analog VGA inputs.
• Includes essential cabling for fast deployment: The device ships with one 6-foot (1.8-meter) VGA input cable, reducing the need to source a separate cable during installation. This bundled cable supports immediate setup from your video source to the splitter, helping you meet tight scheduling and event deadlines without scrambling for extras.
• Durable, flexible distribution for a range of applications: With four independent outputs, you can power multiple screens from a single source, enabling configurations from compact four-monitor displays to expansive, multi-display video walls. The splitter’s adaptable design makes it a reliable choice for training centers, retail kiosks, security workstations, and corporate environments that require consistent, synchronized video across several displays.

How to install Black Box VGA 4-Channel Video Splitter

• Power down your video source and displays: To prevent any static or signal issues, ensure all equipment is powered off before making connections.
• Connect the video source: Attach the computer or video player’s VGA output to the splitter’s single VGA input using the included 6-foot VGA cable. Confirm a snug, secure connection at both ends to maximize signal integrity.
• Attach the displays: Connect each display or projector to one of the four VGA outputs on the splitter. Use separate VGA cables for each connection, ensuring each monitor is properly seated.
• Configure with DIP switches: Use the DIP switch settings to select which outputs are active or to tailor the distribution pattern to your layout. These switches provide flexible control to meet diverse environment needs, from single-display mirroring to multi-display spread.
• Power on and test: Plug in the splitter to a 115 VAC power source and turn on the video source and displays. Verify that all connected displays receive the same image and that the output quality remains crisp across all monitors. If a display is not active, revisit the DIP switch setting to adjust the distribution configuration.
