VGA Splitter: Shows the same images on multiple VGA devices simultaneously

A VGA Splitter is a signal booster and amplifier that splits the video signal from a single source, duplicates it and sends it to multiple display devices simultaneously and in real time. Due to its signal boosting and amplifying properties, the resultant images which are displayed are crisp and clear and support VGA, SVGA, UXGA, SXGA, XGA, and VGA resolutions up to 1920 x 1440 at 60 Hz. The source is connected to the transmitter unit while the display is connected to the receiver unit of the splitter. Connections are secured using VGA cables. Number of displays that can be connected depends upon the number of ports in the VGA distribution amplifier.

Available in 2, 4, 8 and 16 ports, this device can also be cascaded for greater configurations and support a bandwidth of 350 MHz. Installation is easy and once the device is set up, it just needs to be powered on and can be operated. Since these devices work on plug and play functionality, they do not require any additional device drivers or software for operation. Compatible with PCs, SUNs and MACs with VGA Video, these units follow the DDC, DDC2 and DDC2B protocols. Equipped with standard 15 Pin HD VGA connectors, they are available in various models with the VGA monitor splitter being the most basic one. Other models include Quad screen, DVI Splitters, S- Video, Component, Composite and VGA Audio splitter. This model has a limitation of distance imposed on it due to the use of VGA cables for securing connections. If category cables are used for connections, this issue can also be eliminated. The key feature of this device is the ability to switch to power save mode when the input signal is lost. LEDs indicate the input and power save status.

A combination of this splitter and a VGA switch results in a video matrix switch which allows many sources to be connected with many display devices. Perfect for environments where high resolution video is required to be displayed on multiple devices simultaneously, this splitter is perfect for presentations and training facilities. Digital signage applications, entertainment facilities and SOHO applications all make use of the VGA splitter.

Re: The Mobile Marketing - With the advent of smart phones and epads, every business man should be preparing to use mobile marketing. Mobile devices are more than laptops and pcs combine. Every Tom, Dick and their sister Harriet are having mobile devices. Not every one has laptop.
Using copyrighted images - By the way, what are the rules/laws about using other people's images on forums on blogs? Is it ok to use copyrighted images on your blogs/forums because you're essentially using them for "review" purposes or writing "critical articles" about them? Has anyone ever had any complaints about using copyrighted images?
Re: How do you monitor what people say about you in the web? - Agree, set up Google Alerts, but if you set up multiple alerts be sure to set them up as unique alerts, not one alert which includes multiple keywords. I also use Hootsuite where you can save custom searches for Twitter mentions.

Re: Recommendations for going Wireless - GT, I've used "Air Cards" from Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. I've also use a Blackberry as an external modem. Like any device there are limitations. The down side to these devices is whether or not your computer is in a dead zone. As for getting onto the Internet via these devices, they do well, but there in again it depends on where you are at. Dead zones are common and can disconnect you from the Internet without warning. But just as quickly as you get disconnected your device can easily detect a signal and reconnect without you having to log back in. Now the bad news. Monthly rates are a huge factor for this convenience and do not provide any real savings. Check your local provider for packages and pricing.
