1:2 Computer Graphics Video Distribution Amplifier
The high performance Kramer distribution amplifiers for computer graphics video signals with resolutions ranging from VGA through UXGA and higher. It takes one input, provides correct buffering and isolation, and distributes the signal to two, three, or four identical outputs. What are Distribution Amplifiers?
Distribution amplifiers (DAs) split the video signal from one source into two or more signals. A common application for a high resolution video DA is to take the signal from one computer-video port and then amplify and split it so it can feed two or more high resolution data displays maintaining the original quality. DAs also provide amplification and enhancement features for signals such as peaking and leveling. Each of the outputs on DAs is buffered so the original signal will still retain its clarity and strength when split.
To select the right DA for a specific environment, begin by identifying the following elements: - What type of signal is being distributed?
- How many outputs are needed?
- How far is the signal being run?
- How far is the signal being run?
- How does the DA need to be mounted?
- How does the DA need to be mounted?
- What are your space requirements?
When more outputs are needed than are available on a single DA, the amplifiers can be looped together. That means the output of one DA can be fed into the input of another.
How Distribution Amplifier used?
Distribution amplifiers are used in applications that require multiple projectors or monitors to display the same source's image at the same time. For example, with a distribution amplifier, the single video output on most computers can be converted to two, four, or more outputs.
Here's an example of how a DA can be used. A computer with a digital video output is being input to a distribution amplifier (D/2 DA4 DVI). The DA is splitting the signal and distributing it through four, independently buffered outputs: a computer monitor, a digital monitor, and two digital projectors.
When more outputs are needed than are available on a single DA, multiple DAs can be looped together. That means the output of one DA can be fed into the input of another to form a daisy chain.
