A Video Screen Splitter is a device used to stream images from multiple sources simultaneously on a single display device. Also known as a distribution amplifier, this device transmits images without data loss and appears as if the source is connected directly to the screen. Consisting of two units, a local transmitter placed next to the source and a receiver placed next to the screen, this device has the ability to split and boost signals. Available in 2, 4, 8 and 16 orts, they can also be cascaded or daisy-chained for further configuration. Among the various models of screen splitter available in the market, the most common ones are DVI splitter, VGA Audio video splitter, VGA Video, S-Video, Component Video, HDMI Video and Composite Video splitter. All these models are classified according to the video signals they transmit.
Some key features common to all of these models include easy installation, plug and play functionality, no additional software or device driver requirements, and long-distance transmission of video signals while maintaining signal integrity. Although the DVI and HDMI splitter are highly demanded models, the most basic is the VGA splitter.
On the other hand, the Quad Video Splitter is the most innovative device in the KVM industry, as it simultaneously displays signals from four analog or digital sources on a single display device. This unit has numerous display modes, such as quad mode, in which the screen is divided into four equal-sized fields, and each field displays the content of one source respectively. PIP mode is where up to three video sources are displayed as thumbnails on the right side of the full screen image. Dual mode allows the left halves of full screen images from two video sources to be displayed side by side at full size and Full Screen mode allows one of the four video sources to be displayed at full size. full screen and maximum resolution.
All the different types of video screen splitters are FCC and CE certified as well as RoHS compliant and allow switching between sources via front panel buttons and RS232. Higher-end models also allow switching via IR and TCP/IP control. Ideal for situations where images from multiple sources need to be replicated on a single screen, they find use in remote monitoring and surveillance installations, financial, commercial, educational, government and military environments.
