Splitter Sending video from 1 computer to 5 screens

    I'm looking to distribute video output from one computer to five screens for PowerPoint presentations etc.
    No audio required. Video from the computer should simultaneously display on all five screens.

    Video output on the computer: VGA and HDMI.
    Video input on the screens: VGA and HDMI.

    Maximum distance between computer and screens is 200 feet. I'm looking to use CATx cables for transmitting the video signals from the computer to the screens.

    Can you recommend any solution?

    What is the video resolution you need to support?

    Since your resolution isn't that high, and since VGA solutions are more prevalent and less expensive, you should probably stick with VGA splitters-extenders (as opposed to HDMI).

    A star-topology video distribution system is typically available with a 4- or 8-port transmitter, requiring a CATx run from the transmitter to each screen for each port. You will need to deploy an 8-port transmitter with five receivers, one at each screen.
    Such solutions may include:
    - VOPEX-VGA CAT5
    - VGA Video Splitter/Extender over CAT-5
    - VS1508T
    - XT-TX800
    - Video Display System Broadcaster, 8-Ports

    Some systems support a hybrid of star-topology and cascade-topology, which will allow you to deploy a 4-port transmitter and reach the 5th display by using a receiver that supports cascading on one of the four runs.
    Such solutions may include:
    - AdderLink AV100 Transmitter

    Note: Anyone of these transmitters lists their compatible receivers at the bottom of the product page.

    Please let us know if you need us to quote you all the needed items required for your application, using your preferred solution from anyone of these available choices.
