Installation and Operation

Description

The P/2 DA2 Plus, P/2 DA4 Plus, and P/2 DA6 Plus are distribution amplifiers that accept video input from a VGA-UXGA compatible PC and distribute that signal to separately buffered outputs. Each output can be extended with Extron VGA-HR cables in 6', 15', 25', 50', 75', 100', 150', 200' and 250' lengths.

Examples of typical installations are shown in the diagrams on the following pages.

Installation

1.Power off the computer and its local monitor.

2.For optional rack mounting (four and six output only), mount the unit on one side of a 19" 1U Universal Rack Shelf (Extron part

#60-190-01). See the illustration below.

a.If feet were previously installed on the bottom of the case, remove them.

b.Mount the unit on the rack shelf, as shown below, using two 4-40 x 3/16 screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the case to the shelf.

Use 2 mounting holes on opposite corners.

Installation and Operation, cont’d

5.Connect an LCD panel, a VGA-UXGA monitor, or a projector to the other output(s).

6.Connect power to the distribution amplifier.

7.Power on the local monitor, the computer, and display device(s).

Indicators and Controls

Power LED: Located on the front and rear panels of the P/2 DA4 Plus and P/2 DA6 Plus only. When illuminated, it indicates that the distribution amplifier is receiving power.

Video Gain toggle switch: (P/2 DA4 Plus and P/2 DA6 Plus only) The Video Gain switch is normally set to 0.7V (down). For installations with long output cable runs, the 1.0V (up) position will give a brighter picture.

P/2 DA4, P/2 DA6, P/2 DA2 specifications

Extron Electronics is a well-regarded manufacturer in the AV technology space, known for their commitment to quality and innovation. Among their extensive product line, the P/2 DA2, P/2 DA4, and P/2 DA6 distribution amplifiers stand out as reliable solutions for distributing video signals in both commercial and residential settings. These devices are designed to maintain signal integrity while allowing for multiple outputs from a single video source, making them essential in various AV applications.

The P/2 DA2 model is designed to distribute one video signal to two identical outputs. It features a bandwidth of up to 300 MHz, ensuring that high-resolution video signals are transmitted without degradation. The P/2 DA2 supports a wide range of video formats, including composite video, S-video, and component video, providing versatility in different installation scenarios. Additionally, it comes with Extron's built-in signal compensation technology, which automatically adjusts the signal to compensate for any potential loss caused by long cable runs.

Moving up the line, the P/2 DA4 offers four identical outputs from a single input, catering to more extensive installations where multiple displays are needed. Like the P/2 DA2, it also supports a range of video formats and boasts a wide bandwidth of 300 MHz. Its intelligent input sensing feature allows for automatic switching between input signals, making it an ideal choice for setups where multiple sources are frequently used.
