For more information on this application, please visit this Case Study VGA2USB LR Visual Impairment Assistance Device VGA2USB LR can be used as a visual impairment assistance device as shown in the diagram. The person with a visual impairment connects their computer VGA output of the presenter computer, projector or smart white board via a splitter and a copy of the video stream is displayed on their laptop. A big advantage this approach is that VGA2USB LR does not require any software to be installed on the presenter's computer. Changing presenter's is also a simple wire connection change. In fact, the content source is not restricted to a computer, it can be any equipment with a VGA output source The visually impaired person can also use magnification tools to further amplify or zoom in on the images as they fit. VGA2USB LR is particularly suited to applications where the content is rich in resolution and has a higher frame rate requirement than simple slides with text. In the case of presentations with more static material and low frame rates, VGA2USB has less functionality, but can be a more cost effective solution.

More Information

Key Features

• High Quality Active Splitter with built in Ground loop isolation
• 2-port active splitter for conference rooms, event venues, industrial, and high-precision applications
• Supports resolutions up to 2048x2048 @ 85Hz (e.g. Radar, ATC/ATM, control room displays )
• Fault-tolerant port

Epiphan’s active VGA Splitter GLI has a high bandwidth 1 GHz signal amplifier that taps the incoming VGA source and splits it into two VGA outputs. The two VGA outputs are created without any loss in picture quality, resolution, or power, nor does it create additional loading on VGA cable length.

Advanced users can also create multiple VGA output port complexes by daisy chaining two or more VGA Splitter GLIs together to create various combinations of fault-tolerant and ground loop isolated ports.

This product is ideal for applications in noisy signal environments and multi monitor applications where the quality of the split VGA signals are critical.

Reasons to choose Epiphan's VGA Splitter GLI

• Splits an incoming VGA cable into a Fault tolerant pass through VGA output and one ground loop isolated VGA output
• Designed specifically for 2048 x 2048 ATC/ATM control room applications
• High Bandwidth (1 Ghz) VGA signal preservation protects VGA output signals in a noisy environment, without any loss in picture quality, resolution, power or additional loading on VGA cable length
• Multiple Epiphan splitters can be daisy chained to create multiple isolated VGA output ports
• Works well with Epiphan’s family of Broadcasting, Frame Grabbers, Printers and Recording products

Ground Loop Isolator

Epiphan's VGA Splitter GLI has an integrated ground loop isolation circuitry to reduce picture noise in a VGA stream. Noise often occurs due to a ground loop in the power wiring within an event venue, conference room, home, office, or industrial envi­ronment caused by differences in the electrical system. Ground Loop Noise is visible when a VGA monitor is connected to a PC or other VGA source via a VGA cable or traditional splitter, whereby an additional ground loop path for electricity flow is created, causing the electrical system to try to balance itself and resulting in noise in the image signals.

When connected, the ground loop isolator works by breaking the ground between the VGA source and output display, eliminating the path for the current from an electrical imbalance to flow and eliminating all VGA noise caused by a ground loop.

VGA Splitter switches to ground loop isolation mode only when one VGA input and one VGA output are present. A VGA terminator must be connected to the VGA output port that is not in use. In other words, VGA Splitter can easily be transformed into a ground loop isolator for any VGA signal but in such a setup, will not support the cloning of a VGA signal.

1GHz Signal Bandwidth

A high signal bandwidth of 1GHz means that resolutions up to 2048×2048@85Hz are sup­ported, with no loss in picture quality.

Fault Tolerant Output Port

A fault tolerant output port ensures that even if power to the VGA Splitter is suddenly cut, one VGA output port will still work.

Ground Loop Examples

• A venue has a number of PCs and display sources connected to a switch, which is then split with a Y-cable to a projector and a recording system. The display sources may be operating from a battery source, or one more different electrical circuits in the venue. The audio system and video recording systems may also happen to be in different parts of the venue, each powered by a separate electrical circuit - with possibly different ground references. The ground loop(s) between all these devices can create ground loop noise in the system and distort the image quality
• Air traffic control rooms have multiple high resolution monitors, systems and servers that draw a lot of power. Recording systems and back up systems are often located on separate power circuits, backup or redundant power sources, each with different grounds, therefore creating ground loops.
• Industrial sites with high powered machinery on a plant floor will often have different power sources than control systems and office equipment monitoring the plant operations. This is done by design to avoid inductive loading effects caused from the start/stop of high powered machines, however the machines on the plant floor and the factory control room may therefore float from different grounds - creating ground loops in the monitors

In all these and hundreds of similar cases it will be hard to do without VGA Grid from Epiphan Systems™.

VGA Grid Product Description

VGA Grid™ allows you to create one or more channels that combine signals from multiple DVI, VGA or HDMI, composite, s-video and audio sources and relay them to one or more output channels to display, stream, record in a real time. No matter where the sources are located, in the same room or remote, live stream from the displays, cameras, medical imaging equipment or other video sources can be recorded, time-stamped and displayed onto one or more output streams.

VGA Grid consists of a 4U rackmount server with hardware for video/audio capture, Gigabit Ethernet and proprietary firmware. The broadcast rate varies between 640x480 and 2048x2048 with a maximum color depth of 32 bits. Please refer to the customization page to define the video capture inputs, resolutions and color depth required for your application. The captured sources can be broadcasted in a variety of different formats, including ASF, RTSP, Flash video, Motion JPEG. Furthermore, VGA Grid supports Adobe Flash technology and it is possible to view broadcasting directly from the browser.

How does VGA Grid Work?

Received VGA signals are captured by the internal cards and optional external interfaces for additional remote video signal inputs. Through a user-friendly and secure web interface you can set the display mode of the captured signals, create various channels, customize channels to display simultaneously a number of selected sources with required resolution, or zoom in on a single source if necessary. They can also be concurrently broadcast/streamed in real time to a multitude of devices, such as laptops, computers, video walls, netbooks, PDAs, and iPhones. Timestamping of the various video signals is also available.

System Configuration - Standard and Customer Configurations Grid Available?

Epiphan Systems offers two off-the-shelf VGA Grid models: 4-source VGA Grid and 6-source VGA Grid. They provide interfaces to capture 4 or 6 VGA/DVI sources respectively. These two default configurations are ideal for acquiring and broadcasting video signals in case Grid is collocated with the VGA sources.

4-source VGA Grid

This VGA Grid version integrates four VGA2PCIe internal frame grabbers. It  offers maximum connection of four VGA sources collocated with VGA Grid. Buy Now »»

6-source VGA Grid

This VGA Grid version integrates six VGA2PCIe internal frame grabbers. It  offers maximum connection of six VGA sources collocated with VGA Grid. Buy Now »»

 Note that customization to support other sources such as DVI is possible.

If your application needs to acquire and broadcast video from one or more remote sources,  both models are equipped with an Ethernet input for acquiring multiple VGA/DVI/HDMI signals from remote sources. With this product you get performance and durability without compromise – at a very good price.

Don’t Want to Be Limited to the Number of Input Sources? VGA Grid Can Be Customized to Your Budget and Application

Conceivably, it is possible you do not want to be limited to only 4 or 6 VGA sources and need some advanced functionality such as s-video , composite and DVI sources? Then we can build a Custom VGA Grid solution that best meets your requirements whatever they may be. This purpose-oriented model is assembled upon request and will address interests of a particular customer.

Custom VGA Grid allows you to specify the number of additional video signal inputs and types. Each of the sources should be connected to an external expansion frame grabber, e.g. VGA to Ethernet. The captured signal is transferred then over Ethernet to the VGA Grid’s Concentrator. Please refer to the customization page to specify how many sources you have, and what your requirements for image resolution and frame rate are.

Recording? It’s that easy!

VGA Grid also allows you to acquire video from several sources, create a channel coalescing them, and then save and record this channel’s video in real time as a single video stream video file. We offer a 1TB Hard Disk Drive in the standard VGA Grid configuration, but this can be extended upon request by adding one or more 1TB Hard Disk Drives to the configuration. This functionality will ensure that continuous live video recording lasts for months and even more.

VGA2Grid Sample Application - 3 window sign language assisted presentation

VGAGrid can be used in an application to broadcast and/or record a presentation with 4 channels. Channel 1: Presentation slides, Channel 2: the video of the speaker, Channel 3: the video of sign language using a document camera or other source, Channel 4: a branding logo in a fourth. The sample image above shows a VGA Grid output channel displaying all 4 input channels

Broadcaster Lite Functions and Features Summary

BROADCASTER LITE SAMPLE APPLICATIONS

Broadcaster Lite for Presentation or Webinar Broadcast

In this application, Broadcaster Lite is used to capture the presentation material and encode it for viewing on the network by standard internet browsers and viewers

Broadcaster Lite for Events with Simultaneous Translation

In this application two VGA Broadcaster Lite devices are used. The bottom VGA Broadcaster Lite uses the internal video splitter than can daisy chain to a second VGA Broadcaster Lite. The second Broadcaster Lite is located in a sound room where a simultaneous translator applies his audio to the same video stream, thus providing a multi-lingual version of the event in real time. Although this example describes a language translation on the second stream, the audio channel applied could also be a descriptive video soundtrack.

Broadcaster Lite Visual Impairment Assistance

Many event planners are not aware that technology can now expand their audiences and help them comply with equal access requirements. In this application, VGA Broadcaster Lite streams video and audio of the presentation or display contents to audience members with visual impairment. These attendees can view the material to closer to their visual focus, or use local tools on their computers to further amplify the images displayed.

Broadcaster Lite Integration with Central Security Systems

Broadcaster Lite can be integrated with a central security system without modification to the display sources, nor any changes to the central security system, so long as the system supports one of the video stream formats provided by Broadcaster Lite. In this example, Broadcaster Lite encodes the VGA/DVI display into an H.264 stream. The central security system can capture remote displays, as if they were other H.264 video sources, without modification to the application sources. The remote display is just another H.264 video source being displayed and recorded.

Additionally, some security applications require monitoring and recording of the operators running the security system. In this case Broadcaster Lite can be connected to the central console display, and this video stream can also be provided as an input to the central security recording system.
