1. Installation and Getting Started

This document describes how to use the Epiphan VGA Splitter

device to split a single VGA signal between two VGA display,

capture, or recording devices. The Epiphan VGA Splitter is an

active splitter that takes a single VGA input and provides two

VGA outputs:
• A fault tolerant VGA output
• An amplified VGA output
The fault tolerant VGA output provides a direct connection to the

original VGA output and is delivered by the Epiphan VGA

Splitter without any changes to the VGA signal. If the Epiphan

VGA Splitter loses power, the fault tolerant VGA signal will be

maintained. The quality of the amplified VGA output is also the

same as the original VGA signal. It is a copy of the original VGA

signal that is then amplified by the Epiphan VGA Splitter. The

amplified signal is lost if power is disconnected from the VGA

Splitter device.
