These video splitters are boosting devices that duplicate
the video signal from any analog monitor source to two
(DC VS-812); four ( DC VS-814); or eight (DC VS-818)
outputs. As such, they provide fast, flexible, solutions for
situations such as:
1) Broadcasting video information (news headlines, stock
prices, airline and train schedules, etc.), to the public.
2) Monitoring harsh work environments from safe location.
3) Classroom or company training facilities.
The DC VS-812, DC VS-814, and DC VS-818 go beyond
being merely duplicators, however, in that they also
enhance the video signals over long distance
broadcasting of up to 65m (213’).
In addition, units can be daisy chained to handle as many
monitors as the installation requires, making them
excellent solutions for public broadcast systems.
To achieve multiple high quality VGA, SVGA, or Multisync
video signals over long distances, these video splitters are
your best choice.
FEATURES
§ Ultra High 250 MHz Bandwidth
§ Enhances Video Signal for Distances up to 65 m (213’)
§ Supports DDC, DDC2, DDC2B (Port 1 Only)
§ Daisy Chainable
§ All Metal Housing
§ Small Form Factor
§ Ideal for Public Broadcasting; Remote Monitoring;
Classroom and Training Facilities
Note:
1. If you connect a DDC type monitor to Video Out Port 1,
all other monitors must be able to support the highest
resolution that the DDC monitor can provide.
2. These products are designed for VGA, SVGA, and
Multisync monitors. They are not suitable for CGA, EGA,
or MONO type monitors that use digital video signals.

§ If this is a First Stage unit, the cable from the PC’s
video port plugs in here.
§ If this is a Daisy Chained unit, the cable from the
Video Out port of the higher stage unit plugs in

3. Video Out Port
The cables to the monitors can plug in to any
available port.
1. If you connect a DDC type monitor to Video Out
Port all other monitors must be able to support the
highest resolution that the DDC monitor can
provide.
2. The Front and Rear Views in the diagrams are for
a VS-818. A VS-812 and VS-814 will have two
and four Video Out Port, respectively, instead of
the eight Video Out Port shown in the diagram.

1. SINGLE STAGE INSTALLATION
In a Single Stage installation no additional Video Splitters
are daisy chained down from the first unit. To set up a
single stage installation do the following:
1. Use a high density HDB-15 male/female video extender cable
to connect the PC’s video port to the Video In port of the
Video Splitter.
2. Use high density HDB-15 male/female video extender cables
to connect the Video Out ports of the Video Splitter to the
monitors.
3. Plug the power adapter into an AC source; plug the power
adapter cable into the Video Splitter’s Power Jack.
4. Power up the Video Splitter; power up the monitors; power up
the PC.
2. DAISY CHAINING
To provide video display for more monitors, additional
Video Splitters can be daisy chained. Use a high density
HDB-15 male/female video extender cable, 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 chain as many Video Splitters as there are ports
available, and all three models can be mixed on the same
chain. Theoretically, there is no limit to the number of
splitters that can be chained, but the quality will
deteriorate as you chain further and further away from the
video signal.
