Aten VS92A VGA splitter 350 MHz 2-way content_copy

The Aten VS92A is a VGA splitter with two outputs, which transmits an analogue video signal from one source to two screens simultaneously. The device serves signal amplification and distribution, increasing the video signal range while maintaining image quality. It is suitable for use in office environments, training sessions, surveillance systems, or public presentations where multiple monitors need to display the same content.

Applications

The VS92A is suitable for applications where a single video signal source (e.g. a computer with VGA output) needs to be connected to multiple display devices. This includes, for example, training rooms, conference rooms, surveillance centres, or information displays in public areas. Signal amplification enables transmission over longer distances, allowing monitors to be connected at remote locations. The cascading capability allows expansion up to three levels, theoretically enabling connection of up to eight screens.

Functions and equipment in detail

The device features an HDB-15 connector as video input and two HDB-15 sockets as video outputs. The impedance is 75 Ω, which is required for compatible signal transmission over VGA cables. The maximum resolution is 1920 x 1440 pixels at a refresh rate of 60 Hz, sufficient for high-resolution displays. The bandwidth of 350 MHz enables transmission of high-quality video signals with minimal distortion. The maximum transmission distance is 30 metres, with slight signal loss possible with very long cables. The device is DDC-, DDC2- and DDC2B-compatible, with this function available only on the first output (Port 1). This enables automatic adjustment of display parameters to the source.

Technology explained simply

A VGA splitter like the VS92A receives an analogue video signal and distributes it to multiple outputs. In doing so, it amplifies the signal to maintain signal quality over longer distances. Signal amplification is particularly important, as VGA signals lose quality quickly without amplification. The bandwidth of 350 MHz is crucial for transmitting high-resolution images, as it describes the amount of data per second that can be transmitted. A higher value means better signal quality and the ability to transmit higher resolutions.

Compatibility and accessories

The VS92A is compatible with VGA-, XGA-, SVGA-, UXGA-, WUXGA- and Multisync monitors. The connectors comply with the S-VGA (HDB-15) standard, enabling universal use. The device can be cascaded to increase the number of outputs. Cascading is achieved via the outputs of individual splitters, allowing up to three levels. For power supply, a DC 9V connection is required. Power consumption in standard operation is 1.15 W.

Installation and mounting

Installation involves connecting the video signal to the input (HDB-15 connector) and the two outputs (HDB-15 sockets) to the screens. Power supply is via the DC connector. The LED indicator shows device operation. Physical mounting is simple, as the device is designed for desktop use. Dimensions are 130 mm (depth) x 75.1 mm (width) x 44 mm (height). The housing is made of metal, ensuring high stability and heat dissipation.

Advantages in operation

The VS92A offers reliable signal distribution with high image quality. Signal amplification enables transmission over 30 metres, increasing flexibility in monitor placement. Cascading capability extends the number of possible connections. Compatibility with various monitor standards and support for DDC protocols simplify setup. The metal housing ensures a robust construction suitable for professional environments. Operating temperature ranges from 0 °C to 50 °C, enabling use in normal indoor environments. Relative humidity during operation is up to 80 %, non-condensing.
