Normally i've always thought of a splitter be it;
VGA, HDMI, DVI, Displayport, Scart what ever is designed to literally take 1 display and duplicate it 2, 3, 4 etc... ways

I had a customer today who was adamant his normal splitter VGA could from his Mac book could split the image into an extended display running resolutions at 1200x800 each.

After much much much talk he eventually told me it was DVI-I (im assuming dual link) to twin VGA but he kept calling it a splitter, am i wrong saying this is not a conventional splitter and also what is this called?

I dont like to give wrong information, this guy was after a 4 way version of it, he will come in and probs throw it at my face cos i know our splitters are only for multi displays but i want to educate him.
 
I know what he's talking about I have one here with my old X1300 Pro, it's a DVI-I Dual Link splitter you can either dual screen or split display between screens. It came standard with my Dell C521. You can't get a 4 way version though.
You are right though it's not a normal cable they are called DVI-I to Dual HD15 Cable

Not cheap though.

Ah you see i was thinking of that but he said it was a box do you think it could be a variant.
The only suggestion could think of was 2 USB to DVI external GPU's or something. And he wanted 5 displays including the laptop display from a very top notch Macbook ;) it had a 2tb hdd and 16gb of ram ... (that was his reply to me asking the spec).
He did not like my suggestion of getting rid of 4 screens at 1200x800 to a higher res monitor at like 27" or something like those 31" ultra wides.

Hi Noor, welcome to the forums.

Just a quick note, you've "necro'd" a fairly old thread here :) Just double check the date of the last post before replying to any others.

Don't let that scare you off, just a note that some topics do die off :)
 
SuB I would like to direct your attention to this:
