VGA Splitter

[carlosvr6]

Been asked at work to purchase/research into some vga monitor splitters which would allow the deputy head (i work in a school) to use two monitors with one computer.

We have interactive whiteboards in almost every room which are connected via powered vga splitters. The problem is he has seen someone at a seminar use a usb one which is more compact and suited to his needs. I mentioned that they might have been some kvm cables or something as i have never come across such a thing and have searched google without any joy.

Anybody have any vague idea what he might have seen?

Hi

If you need 2 screens try matrox duelhead2go
or 3 screens matroc triplehead2go

duel being the cheapest by mor ethen half at about £60 triple £150-£180

hope this is what you were asking

I know this can be done with the above and also with vga splitters both powered and unpowered but i have not come across anything usb that allows you to do this. I really think he has seen something else.

Perhaps you were thinking of something along these lines:

Although I have never seen one in retail over here, you could try searching some auction sites.

This looks like what he may have seen. Dont look cheap for what they are.

Thanks
