Extron electronic P/2 DA1 specifications Features, Installation, Operation, Specifications

Installation

The Extron P/2 DA1 is a one input, one output VGA line driver. It boosts the video signal between a laptop or desktop computer (input device) and a monitor or large screen projector (output device).

Features

•The P/2 DA1 accepts and outputs VGA, XGA, SXGA, RsGsBs, RGsB, RGBS, and RGBHV signals.

•The gain/peaking switch increases video signal voltages to compensate for signal degradation caused by long cables.

Installation

To install the P/2 DA1, do the following:

1.Turn off power to the input and output devices and unplug their power cords.

2.Connect the computer to the 15-pin HD male input connector (see 1 in the “Operation” illustration below).

3.Connect the output device to the 15-pin HD female output connector (see 5 in the “Operation” illustration below).

4.Reattach power cords, and apply power to the P/2 DA1 and to the input and output devices.

Many laptop computers have an external video port, but they require special commands to output the video to that connector. Also, many laptops’ screens shut off after the port is activated. See the computer’s user’s guide for details, or contact Extron for a list of laptop keyboard commands.

2Power LED — Lights to indicate that the P/2 DA1 is on.

3Signal LED — Lights to indicate that an input signal is being received.

4Gain/peaking switch — Compensates for cable resistance and capacitance.

Normal — Output is the same level as input.

Medium — 50% of the total gain is applied. Peaking is applied.

Maximum — 100% of the total gain is applied. Peaking is applied.

If the signal cable between the P/2 DA1 and the output device is shorter than approximately 125 feet, and the gain switch is set to Medium or Maximum, the image may be overcompensated. If the edges of the image seem to exceed their boundaries, or if thin lines and sharp edges look thick and fuzzy, try changing the gain/peaking setting.
