Introduction, Features | Extron electronic P/2 DA2XI MT specification

Introduction

The P/2 DA2xi and the P/2 DA2xi MT are distribution amplifiers that accept video input from a VGA, XGA, or UXGA compatible PC and distribute the signal to separately buffered outputs. Each output can be extended with Extron VGA-Mini-HR cables from 6' to 250' in length. The MT model also has audio input and output.

Both models can be powered by newer computers compatible with the new VESA standard using pin 9 of the VGA connector as the +5VDC source. An external power supply is also provided for use with older computers, where power is unavailable through the VGA connector, or the available power is inadequate.

Features

•Powered by computer — This unit can be powered by most newer computers.

•Power/Signal LED — Green LED = power + signal. Amber LED = Power but no signal. Off = no power.

•Gain/Peak DIP switch — To compensate for longer cable runs. Switch to on (up) when output cable is over 100’ (30.5 m).

•Out Imp DIP switch — Changes the output impedance to be compatible with all projectors.

Installation

The P/2 DA2xi and P/2 DA2xi MT can be mounted on a rack shelf, under a desk or tabletop, or on a projector bracket.

Rack mounting

For optional rack mounting, mount the P/2 DA2xi or P/2 DA2xi on a VersaTools 19" 1U Rack Shelf (part #60-190-20) or a standard Universal 1U Rack Shelf (part #60-190-01) as shown in figures 1 and 2, respectively.

Only products in the VersaTools line can be mounted to a

VersaTools rack shelf.
