OVERVIEW
Compact VGA Switches from Black Box go much farther
than ordinary video switches in both the distance and
resolution they support.
These solid-state, electronic switches not only use boosters
to drive VGA video signals up to 150 feet (45.7 m), they also
offer a crisp resolution of up to 1600 x 1200.
Use the switches, for instance, in a conference room where
two or four laptop users can take turns projecting their screen
images onto a single big-screen VGA monitor seen by all.
They’re also useful anywhere you need to use fewer monitors
for displaying video sources.
Control switching via an attached RS-232 device (serial
control cable is included). You can also blank output from one
source or switch manually.
To scan between VGA inputs at certain time intervals or
display VGA inputs based on their priority, choose the 2 x 1
switch with audio (AC505A-2A) or one of the 4 x 1 switches
(AC506A, AC506A-4A).
For audio support, order the 2 x 1 with Audio (AC505A-2A)
or 4 x 1 with Audio (AC506A-4A). They enable you to switch
a single monitor with audio between two or four video/audio
sources.
