TruLink 29504 4-Port VGA Monitor Splitter & Extender
DESCRIPTION
Any video stream can be distributed to any one of four different video outputs while retaining its vibrant visual quality. This splitter is not only effective but also simple to operate; all you have to do is connect the cables, and you’re good to go! There is no need to install any sophisticated interface cards or software, and there are no requirements for either. This monitor splitter not only divides your high-resolution video signal, but it also amplifies it so that it may be transmitted up to 210 feet. Includes a mode that saves power, connectors for inputs and outputs that are color-coded, a housing made entirely of metal for durability, and LED indications for power and activity. Additionally compatible with monitors using the XGA, SVGA, VGA, and MultiSync resolutions. You can achieve even more outputs by daisy-chaining additional units together.

CONNECTIONS
You may send a single VGA signal from a single source, like a computer, to many monitors or display devices by using the TruLink 29504 4-Port VGA Monitor Splitter & Extender. This device is designed to allow you to divide and extend the signal.
The following is an outline of the various connections that are often included on devices of this type:
-
The source for the VGA input is:
The VGA signal source, which could be a desktop computer or a portable laptop, should be connected here. In most cases, the port that accepts the VGA cable coming from your source device is a female VGA port. -
Monitors that have VGA Output Ports:
Multiple VGA output ports are available. These ports are commonly named “Output 1,” “Output 2,” and so forth. These are the points at which the VGA cables that lead to each of your monitors or other display devices should be connected. -
Power Coming In:
In order for the device to function, it requires power. It is possible that it has a power input connector where you can plug the power cable or power adapter that was provided. Make sure that you are using the item with the appropriate power source, as described in the instructions. -
Switches with DIPs:
You could find that certain models come equipped with DIP switches that let you customize various settings, such as the resolution or the sync type. The signal can be fine-tuned based on your configuration by using these switches, which are typically used. -
Indicators with LEDs:
The apparatus may feature LED indication lights that show the state of each output port or that indicate power and signal activity. Alternatively, the LED indicator lights may show both.
The following is the standard procedure for establishing the connections:
-
Connect the Device That Is the Source:
Make the connection between the VGA output port on your source device (computer, laptop, etc.) and the VGA input port on the splitter by utilizing a VGA cable. -
Put the Monitors in Place:
To connect the VGA output ports on the splitter to the VGA input ports on your monitors or other display devices, you will need to use VGA cables. -
Raise Your Game:
Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet after it has been connected to the power input port on the splitter. -
Configure:
If the device you are configuring has DIP switches, you should configure them in accordance with the unique requirements of your system. When in doubt, consult the owner’s manual that came with the equipment. -
Switch to On:
Start up both the source device and the monitors by turning on the power. The VGA signal coming from the source has to be distributed by the splitter to all of the linked displays at the same time.
