Aten VS138A 8-Port VGA Splitter 450MHz
The Aten VS138A is an 8-port VGA distribution amplifier that simultaneously feeds one video source to eight displays at 450MHz, supporting QXGA and WUXGA resolutions with 30m reach. Cascadable to three levels, it can deliver up to 512 simultaneous VGA outputs for large public broadcast deployments.Overview
The Aten VS138A is a high-bandwidth 8-port VGA distribution amplifier designed for multi-display public broadcast and institutional environments. By duplicating a single VGA source to eight outputs simultaneously, it eliminates the need for repeated cable plugging while maintaining full signal quality. Cascading up to three VS138A units yields as many as 512 simultaneous VGA signals across a single campus or facility.

FAQ
How many outputs can I achieve by cascading?
Three cascade levels give a maximum of 512 simultaneous VGA outputs from a single source, making the VS138A highly scalable for campus-wide deployments.
Does cascading affect signal quality?
No. The built-in signal booster maintains signal integrity across all cascade levels up to 30m distance.
What is the difference between the VS134A and VS138A?
The VS134A has 4 output ports (expandable to 64 cascaded), while the VS138A has 8 output ports (expandable to 512 cascaded).

Frequently Asked Questions
What markets use an 8-port VGA splitter for large-scale broadcast?
Public transportation hubs, airport terminals, sports venues, and large corporate campuses use the VS138A to broadcast announcements, schedules, or promotional content to dozens of displays across multiple locations.
How does cascading a 8-port splitter to three levels create 512 outputs?
Each VS138A at level one sends to eight units at level two (8 × 8 = 64), which each send to eight units at level three (64 × 8 = 512 total outputs). This is the ultimate solution for stadium or large venue broadcasting.
What is the advantage of distributing one source to 512 displays?
A single video feed eliminates the need for separate playback systems in each zone. All displays stay synchronized, reducing operational complexity and ensuring consistent messaging across the entire facility.
Does the VS138A maintain video quality across all 8 outputs?
Yes, the 450 MHz amplification ensures each output preserves QXGA and WUXGA resolution without signal degradation, so all eight displays show identical clarity and colour.
What infrastructure is required to deploy an 8-port splitter system?
You need one video source, adequate VGA cabling to span your facility, and power for the amplifier. For very large deployments, discuss repeater options with Procure.ae to overcome the 30m distance limitation.
How does the VS138A reduce operational costs for multi-location broadcast?
Instead of installing independent media players or server feeds at each location, the VS138A centralizes distribution from one source, saving on hardware, maintenance, and content synchronization effort.
What is the lead time for VS138A and expansion units?
Request a quote from Procure.ae to confirm delivery schedules for the primary unit and any additional amplifiers needed for your cascade configuration.
Do you provide planning assistance for large multi-level distribution systems?
Contact Procure.ae with details of your broadcast scope so the team can recommend the optimal configuration and coordinate delivery and setup support.
What connections and performance specs define the VS138A?
The VS138A has one VGA input and eight VGA outputs at 450 MHz bandwidth, supporting up to QXGA/WUXGA resolution with 30m extension per level. Contact Procure.ae for cascading specifications.
What is supplied in a standard VS138A order?
The amplifier unit and connectors for basic operation are included. For a comprehensive list of cables and expansion accessories for cascading, contact Procure.ae.
What warranty does Aten provide on the VS138A?
The VS138A includes Aten's standard manufacturer warranty. Request full warranty and support details from Procure.ae when placing your order.
