Features & Applications

The VOPEX® VGA Video Splitter/Extender simultaneously broadcasts
high-resolution video from one computer to 4, 8 or 16 remote monitors located up to 600 feet away using CAT5/5e/6 cable. Optional audio functionality using
self-powered stereo speakers enhances presentations.

The VOPEX VGA video splitter/extender system has two components: the VOPEX-C5V-x VGA broadcast unit, which connects to the host computer and also supplies video to a local monitor, and an XTENDEX® ST-C5V-R-600 remote unit for each remote monitor. The units are interconnected by CAT5/5e/6 cable.
  • Broadcast real-time VGA video or audio/video to multiple display locations.
  • Supports resolutions up to 1920x1440.
  • Optional audio can be broadcast to self-powered stereo speakers at the local unit and each remote location.
  • Easily expandable. Add remote units as you add monitors.
  • A pure hardware solution–no software conflicts.
  • High quality rugged steel construction with durable powdercoat finish.
  • Available in optional rackmount enclosure.
    • Includes cable management shelf.
The VOPEX CAT5 VGA Video Splitter is the ideal solution for a wide range of
multi-screen applications. Examples include:
  • Give real-time arrival/departure updates to passengers at airports, train stations and bus stations.
  • Provide stock and exchange rate updates at stock exchanges and banks.
  • Broadcast entertainment or news in stores, restaurants, trains, and planes.
  • Broadcast lyrics of hymns to worshippers in churches and to singers in karaoke clubs.
  • Advertise products in shopping centers, malls, and stores.
  • A great alternative to expensive projectors in the classroom. Send a teacher's screen to all remote monitors.
  • Broadcast a presentation to personal monitors of colleagues in conference rooms, boardrooms, or to multiple monitors in a trade show booth or corporate showroom.
