8-Port VGA/Audio Switch

The ATEN VS0801A routes video and stereo audio from eight computers to a single VGA display and speaker set. Front-panel pushbuttons, an IR remote, RS-232 commands or the supplied port-switching cable select the active source. A metal housing encloses the circuitry and connectors.

Suited for multi-system operators

IT administrators managing server racks, broadcast technicians monitoring multiple workstations or educators presenting from several PCs benefit from the eight-channel input and automatic fail-over when a source powers down. Buyers who need digital video interfaces such as HDMI or DisplayPort, or who require simultaneous multi-monitor output, should consider a different device.

2048 x 1536 @ 60Hz maximum resolution

This is the highest video mode the switch supports; signals at or below this timing pass through the 300 MHz bandwidth path without degradation. If the connected display or any source exceeds this resolution or refresh rate, the image will not appear correctly.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the eight HDB-15 male video inputs and the single HDB-15 female output on the VS0801A?

Plug each source into one of the eight blue HDB-15 male ports and connect the display to the blue HDB-15 female port; secure every thumbscrew so the 2048 x 1536 @ 60Hz signal stays stable.

What regular upkeep does the metal-housed VS0801A require?

Dust the ventilation slots and check that the DC 5.3 V adapter and all eight mini-stereo audio jacks stay firmly seated; no internal parts are user-serviceable.

At what bandwidth ceiling does the VS0801A hit its limit during continuous operation?

The built-in 300 MHz bandwidth ceiling is reached first, capping the maximum usable resolution to 2048 x 1536 @ 60Hz even during extended sessions.
