Features & Applications

Broadcast up-to-the-minute information to multiple remote monitors in real time using the VOPEX® CAT5 VGA Video Splitter/Extender. This high-resolution VGA video splitter (video port expander) drives video from one computer to 4, 8, or 16 remote monitor screens up to 600 feet away via inexpensive CAT5 UTP cable. This is the ideal solution for any application requiring the flexibility to share information with several locations. Optional audio functionality using self-powered stereo speakers enhances your presentation.

The VOPEX VGA Video Splitter/Extender system has two components: the VOPEX-C5Vx VGA broadcast unit, which connects to the host computer and also supplies video to a local monitor, and an XTENDEX ST-C5V-R-600 remote unit for each remote monitor. The units are interconnected by CAT5 cable.
  • Broadcast real-time VGA video or audio/video to multiple display locations.
  • Accompanying audio can be broadcast to self-powered stereo speakers at the local unit and at each remote location.
  • Maximum 1024x768 video resolution at 600 feet; higher resolutions are supported at shorter distances.
  • Easily expandable. Add remote units as you add monitors.
  • Available in optional rackmount enclosure.
    • Includes cable management shelf.
  • Compatible with all NTI A/V switches and splitters, which enables the joining of products to create a system that satisfies all of your networking needs.
  • Inexpensive CAT5 cable replaces bulky video cables.
  • A pure hardware solution - no software conflicts.

The VOPEX CAT5 VGA Video Splitter 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.
  • Broadcast lyrics of hymns to worshippers in churches and to singers in karaoke clubs.
  • Advertise products in shopping centers, malls, and stores.
  • A great alternative to expensive projectors in the classroom. Send a teacher's screen to all remote monitors.
  • Broadcast a presentation to personal monitors of colleagues in conference rooms, boardrooms, or to multiple monitors in a trade show booth or corporate showroom.
