Signal Status LEDs, Edid Led | Extron electronic HDMI DA2 specification

Signal Status LEDs

Input Signal LED

The input signal LED lights green when a TMDS signal is detected on the HDMI input. If the source requires HDCP encryption, this LED may light only after the HDCP has been authenticated.

Output Signal LEDs

There are two output signal LEDs, one for output 1 and the other for output 2. The LEDs light green when a TMDS signal is being transmitted to a sink device on the corresponding HDMI output.

Input HDCP LED

The Input HDCP LED lights green when the source device requires HDCP encryption and it has been authenticated with the HDMI input.

Output HDCP LEDs

There are two output HDCP LEDs, one for output 1 and the other for output 2. The LEDs light green when HDCP has been authenticated between the HDMI output and the corresponding sink device. This happens when the source device requires HDCP encryption and it has already been authenticated on the HDMI input.

The LEDs do not light if the source does not require HDCP encryption or if the sink is not HDCP compliant. If HDCP encryption is required but the sink device is not HDCP compliant, that output channel outputs a green screen.

EDID LED

The EDID LED lights green when the EDID is successfully stored from the selected output device (output 1 by default).

The LED lights amber if the internal, factory-installed EDID is used or if the EDID was not successfully stored.

For added convenience, the Extron HDMI DA2 features EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) management, which allows the device to communicate effectively with connected displays. This ensures that the source and display can agree on the optimal video settings, enhancing compatibility and performance across diverse equipment.

Another notable characteristic is the automatic input switching feature, which allows the device to seamlessly switch between multiple HDMI sources if used in conjunction with other Extron products. This is particularly useful in situations where multiple devices may need to be accessed without the hassle of manual intervention.

The HDMI DA2 is also designed with ease of use in mind. It includes LED indicators that provide users with real-time feedback on power, input selection, and signal status. This streamlined approach helps in quickly diagnosing any issues that may arise during operation.

In terms of installation, the DA2 is compact and rack-mountable, making it a versatile choice for any AV system setup. With its rugged build quality and reliability, the Extron HDMI DA2 is tailored for professionals who demand high performance and dependability from their audio-visual equipment. Overall, this HDMI distribution amplifier is a critical component for any AV system requiring superior signal management for multiple displays.
