S-Video Splitter/Extender via CAT5 - Drive up to 16 remote monitors from one computer
VOPEX-C5SV-16 Local Unit (Front & Back) and ST-C5SV-600 Remote Unit

Designed and Manufactured in the U.S.A.

RoHS Compliant S-Video Splitter/Extender via CAT5

Features & Applications

The VOPEX® S-Video Splitter/Extender simultaneously displays high-resolution video from one computer source to 4, 8 or 16 remote locations via inexpensive Cat5 UTP cable. This real-time system supports remote s-video devices up to 600 feet from the computer as well as local display.

The VOPEX S-Video Splitter/Extender system has two components: the VOPEX-C5SV-x S-Video broadcast unit, which connects to the host computer and also supplies video to a local monitor, and an XTENDEX ST-C5SV-R-600 remote unit for each remote monitor. The units are interconnected by CAT5 cable.
  • Broadcast real-time s-video or audio/s-video to multiple display locations.
  • Accompanying audio can be broadcast to self-powered stereo speakers at the remote unit as well as each remote location.
  • Supports maximum s-video resolution - 800x600 at distances up to 600 feet.
  • Easily expandable. Add remote units as you add monitors
  • Inexpensive CAT5 cable replaces bulky video cables.
  • A pure hardware solution - no software conflicts.

The VOPEX S-Video Splitter/Extender is the ideal solution for a wide range of multi-screen applications. Examples include:
  • Give real-time arrival/departure updates to passengers at airports, train stations and bus stations.
  • Provide stock and exchange rate updates at stock exchanges and banks.
  • Broadcast entertainment or news in stores, restaurants, trains, and planes.
  • A great alternative to expensive projectors in the classroom. Send a teacher's screen to all remote monitors.
