DVI Extender: Helps to Develop Connection at Remote Locations


Depending on the length of the fiber optic cables there are several models available. One is single link DVI Fiber Optic Extender and the other one is DVI Dual Link Fiber Optic Extender. These can help to transmit via fiber optic cable high resolution digital video. These devices vary in the resolutions supported by them.

DVI Extender is used to transmit the digital video signals over long distances is via Cat5 / Cat6 UTP cable. The other option to transmit to even greater distances is through fiber optical cable. It comprises of a transmitter adjacent to the DVI source and a unit near the remote LCD monitor. It is available with in 2, 4 or 8 port versions and it can help us to connect to DVI monitors located at remote locations.
Cat 5 DVI Extender exists in 2, 4 and 8 port splitter units. The power adapters which are already available help in remote connectivity. Many other varieties of this extender unit are also available on the market today including the single link DVI over fiber and DVI dual link fiber optic extender. CAT5 DVI Extender unit is compatible with all OS. LEDs are integrated in it which indicates the DVI signal activity and helps to operate at a video amplifier bandwidth of several GHz.

DVI Switch- Efficient Way of DVI signal Transmission


Digital video interface is the most upcoming form of video interface technology. It is used to maximize the quality of LCD monitors and other modern graphics cards. It has replaced the old style of plug and play. The cables and extenders made for the DVI signals are very much popular with and are best in use if fixed with one or two DVI output ports.

DVI Switch transmits DVI signals to multiple computers with the, DVI interface, to one DVI display device. These come with 2 or 4 ports and are available with or without audio eliminating the need for separate setups for video and audio. A matrix version is also available for multiple DVI inputs and outputs. Equipped with built in amplifier circuits there is no ghosting of images. These DVI switch units support display resolutions including SXGA 1280 x 1024 and 480p, 720p, 1080p for HDTV's or 1600x1200 at a pixel frequency of 250MHz. These units are CE, FCC and RoHS compliant, and are compatible with PC based windows and MAC systems. The functionality of the dvi splitter is very different from the dvi switch. Both of them have the same basic function of transmitting the dvi signals

Video Matrix Switch: Delivers Rich Quality and High Resolution Video Signals


A video matrix switcher gives the user an added advantage of having both the video splitter and video switch in one single hardware device. This allows the user to route and switch among multiple video and audio sources between multiple video displays and speakers. The user now has the choice of choosing some or all the video router outputs that displays some or all of the video inputs. There are various sizes that have been made available for this device that range from 2x2 (2 inputs and 2 outputs) to 32x16 matrix switcher.

This hardware device is designed in such a manner that you could now switch multiple Audio/Video sources and displays. The control options that have been made available for this device are – Push Buttons placed on the front of the panel, Infra Red, or RS232 control. The bandwidth that it supports is 325MHz, which ensures that the video that you receive is of high quality and the resolution could be up to 1080p. This device works well with video devices such as cable and satellite receivers, DVD players, etc.

The other such device is the HDMI matrix switcher which combines the feature of HDMI splitter and HDMI switch to display HDMI signal over multiple outputs

VGA Video Switch Routes Video Signals to Multiple VGA Displays



VGA switch allows the user to make connections among multiple video inputs and switch them onto a single VGA video display. This hardware device has been made available in various port sizes that include 2, 4 and 8; moreover they could be further cascaded or daisy chained in order to increase the distribution without any loss of signal.
It supports resolution up to 1920x1440 and DDC1, DDC2, DDC2B+ and so forth. It has a pixel frequency of 250 MHz and 9V power supply has been included. In order for the user to switch, push buttons have been placed right in the front of the unit, or using an infra red remote the user could switch. Due to all these features, it makes a great solution for applications in hotels, casinos, etc.


The hardware device allows the user to connect and switch among 4 computers onto a single monitor, or any VGA display screen. It has a band width of 250 MHz that provides sharp and crystal clear images. A wireless remote has also been provided that allows the user to select the port, on screen display and auto scan mode. Its functionality is very much different from VGA splitter which have inbuilt distribution amplifiers to support high resolution signals.

HDMI Video Splitter- Used as flexible distribution hub

If ever one had to think of a word that best describes a hdmi splitter, then undoubtedly and unquestionably it would be “splendid”. The HDMI Splitter makes things convenient for the user by allowing simultaneous splitting and distribution of HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) video signals from HTDV devices onto multiple HDTV display devices. Considering the port sizes that have been made available, it ranges from 2, 4 and 8 ports and to add to its advantage, these splitters could be cascaded as well as daisy chained. 720i, 720p, etc are some of the resolutions that the HDMI splitter supports. This hardware device is HDCP compliant and is available with simple plug and play functionality, thereby making things all the more easier for the user. It makes an ideal solution for conference rooms, home office and so forth.On the other hand the hdmi switch has a different functionality as the output is send to multiple sources instead of a single source.


The 8 port HDMI splitter allows a larger distribution that helps the user to accommodate multiple displays. It allows various HDTV devices that have HDMI output to connect to multiple HDTV displays.

A VIdeo Switching Device: VGA Switch


A VGA Switch is used to switch video from multiple sources to one display device. It eliminates the hassle of plugging and unplugging in VGA cables repeatedly between sources. It functions by connecting the VGA video sources and display to the VGA switch with standard SVGA cables reducing cost and saving space. Its possible to for multiple computers to share a single video display which has a VGA port. VGA Switcher allows one monitor to be switched between two or more video sources without degrading video integrity and clarity.

A VGA Switcher is available in a wide range of sizes starting with 2 ports and going up to 8 ports. They provide crisp and clear images with a resolution of 1920 x 1440 @ 60 Hz and a frequency of 250 MHz. The input signals remain consistent and there is no degradation in the quality of video output. Switching of the signals is done via push buttons in front of the unit or via infra red remote control. VGA Switches are work on plug and play functionality and do not require any additional software for operation.

KVM Switch: Controlling Multiple Computers with A Single Set of Peripherals

KVM Switch has made it very simple to control multiple computers with just one keyboard, video monitor and mouse ie, a kvm set. It eliminates clutter and reduces the space occupied by all the peripheral devices that would normally be needed to administrate over multiple systems.
These switches now have the benefit of increased distance between the computers and peripherals by using Cat5 cables for the connections. With this option, servers can be placed in various locations up to 40m away from the KVM switch. The switch is popularly known as a CAT5 KVM Switch. Its possible to cascade kvm switches to connect greater number of systems.
KVM switches are available in a number of different types and sizes, the USB KVM Switch is still amongst the most popular. With the help of this product, a user can control up to sixteen USB computers on a single switch. These switches are fully compliant with the USB 1.0 and 1.1 specifications.
Its very to handle a kvm switch, by push buttons on the front panel, keyboard commands, on screen display (OSD) or via RS232. These devices provide a resolution up to 1600 x 1200. Providing multi platform support, they can be used with Windows Vista/2003/XP/2000, Linux and UNIX operating systems. KVM Switches are simple to install as they follow a principle of plug and play without the need for any software or device drivers.
