Installation

Standalone Installation

Setting up the Video Splitter is simply a matter of plugging in the
cables. Refer to the diagram as you follow the step-by-step
directions below:

1. Make sure that the computer and monitors you are using for
the installation are all powered Off.

2. Plug the female end of a male to female VGA cable into the
Video Splitter's Video In port; plug the male end of the cable
into the computer's video output port.

Note: The VGA cable does not come with the package. It must

be purchased separately: (Part No. 2L-2401).

3. Plug the monitor cables into any available Video Out port.

4. Plug the power adapter (supplied with this package) into an
AC source; plug the adapter's power cable into the Video
Splitter's AC 9V Power Jack.

5. Power On all equipment.

Cascading

To provide video display for more monitors, additional VS-132s
can be cascaded. Use a high density HDB-15 male/female video
extender cable (Part No. 2L-2401), to connect any available
Video Out port on the higher level Video Splitter to the Video In
port of the lower level Video Splitter.

You can cascade as many Video Splitters as there are ports
available. Theoretically, there is no limit to the number of splitters
that can be cascaded, but the quality will deteriorate as you get
further and further away from the video signal.
