The 1:2 VGA Hub allows computers with VGA graphic cards to display a picture
on two VGA displays or projectors simultaneously, making it perfect for presenta-
tions where the operator uses a small monitor at the computer while the audience
views the image on a second larger display or projector.
How It Works
The 1:2 VGA Hub is connected to a PC video source with a VGA (male to female)
cable from the computer’s VGAgraphics card port to the VGA Hub’s input con-
nector.
There are two VGA outputs on the 1:2 VGA Hub. VGA output one is the Primary
connection, which queries the Primary Display attached to it and determines the
possible video resolutions, timings and frequencies that can be used to create a
picture. This information is called EDID (Extended Display Identification Data).
VGA output two is connected to the second (Secondary) display and creates an
image by following the EDID settings obtained from the first (Primary) display;
therefore, both displays should be capable of the same resolutions and refresh
rates in order to display an identical picture. For more information regarding
EDID, please read the Operation Notes immediately below this paragraph.
INTRODUCTION

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE 1:2 VGA HUB
• Display information (EDID) is not sent back to the source. Standard VESA
resolutions should be output by most computers without the need of an EDID.
If using a non-VESA standard resolution or if EDID is needed, an EDID storage
and relay device is necessary. Gefen recommends the use of a DVI Detective
(part# EXT-DVI-EDID, EXT-DVI-EDIDN, or EXT-DVI-EDIDP) with two VGA to
DVI adapters.

Input.
2- Connect the cables from your displays (monitor or projector) into the VGA Out
slots in the back of the 1:2 VGA Hub
4- Plug the 5v power supply into the 1:2 VGA Hub.
5- Plug the 5v wall mount power supply into the wall outlet.
NOTE: Display information (EDID) is not sent back to the source. Standard VESA
resolutions should be output by most computers without the need of an EDID.
If using a non-VESA standard resolution or if EDID is needed, an EDID storage
and relay device is necessary. Gefen recommends the use of a DVI Detective
(part# EXT-DVI-EDID, EXT-DVI-EDIDN, or EXT-DVI-EDIDP) with two VGA to DVI
