[WEB4LIB] VGA signal boosters

[Thomas M G Bennett]

Belkin makes a VGA Monitor Extender we purchased to amplify the signal.  I
have no idea of the price or supplier off hand but a search for vga monitor
extender or Belkin may bring up the results on the WEB.  The Belkin VGA ME
has a single input and a single output.  Cyberguys has a splitter of 1-to-2,
1-to-4, and 1-to-8 starting at 47.20 and each will transmit up to 210 feet
they advertise.

In our computer lab we have a VGA video splitter so we can divide the
signal from the instructors PC to go to the Instructors monitor, a
projection device and a 34 inch monitor.

The problem we currently have is that with the 34 inch monitor on the
oposite side of the room, we are running a very long video extension
where the signal is being degraded.  I have not found anything in the
way of video boosting technologies like I currently have with my cable
television.  Is there any signal boosting devices that anyone is using
with a VGA plug?
