Description
The Model 800-IEC is a VGA video splitter that employs the latest technologies in high-
resolution video distribution. The device is compact, lightweight, low power, and highly
reliable. The splitter terminates; buffers and amplifies the computer's video signal with wide-
bandwidth integrated circuits for display on multiple monitors. Depending on the length of the
cable used, each output can reproduce a sharp and crisp image at any resolution up to 1600
x 1200.
The Splitter is capable of driving video extension cables to 150 feet or more depending on the
resolution being displayed. Included with the device is a 6 ft multi-coaxial cable for connection
to the PC’s video.
Features
•Supports any resolution up to 1600x1200 at refresh rates from 60 to 85 Hz
•Rugged, Reliable, Economical
•No software required
•Drives cables to 150 ft or more
•Easily expand outputs by daisy-chaining
Setup
This section gives you setup information on the Model 800-IEC video splitter. Your package
includes a 6 foot VGA-Type video cable, power cord and the Video Splitter unit itself. Please
take inventory of all items received and ensure that you have the above items.
Locate the Video output connector on the Computer. This connector is generally a HD15
female with three rows of contacts. Using the cable supplied, connect the input of the Splitter
to the computer.
Connect the monitors directly to the outputs of the Splitter, or use high-quality extension
cables to remotely locate the monitors. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the Splitter
and plug it in the AC source.
If you are using long video cables (greater than 25 feet) on the output of the splitter, it is best
to ensure that the cable is connected to a monitor (which properly terminates the signals),
otherwise disconnect the cable from the Splitter.
The Splitter can be cascaded (i.e. connected in series) to provide large number of outputs if
desired.
The standard splitter can drive 150 feet of video cable without appreciable loss of resolution.
For longer runs, VGA-to-CAT5 converters are recommended.

Plug-and-Play
DDC (Direct Data Channel) is a standard by which a compatible monitor sends its
identification and other parameters to a PnP operating system such as Windows 98 etc. Only
one of the monitors connected to the splitter is allowed to communicate with the operating
system. This means that the user should ensure that either all the monitors can support the
resolution which will be set or disable the DDC and force any desired resolution and refresh
rate from the “Display Properties” screen of the operating system. If upon connecting the
Splitter you get a blank screen, it could be that your PC is looking for a monitor but cannot find
any. In this case, either plug a monitor directly to the PC and disable PnP (by choosing a
different standard-type monitor), or have at least one monitor plugged in to the specific output
of the splitter that is assigned to the DDC channel (see Specifications for details).
