ABOUT YOUR DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER 2

The DA1406WM is a 1-in 6-out MAC distribution amplifier designed to connect a single computer video source to as many as six scan rate compatible displays. The DA1406WM will pass an analog video signal up to 1.5 V p-p. Using AGC sync circuitry, the DA1406WM converts incoming TTL sync levels to a standard 4V p-p level.

All input and output connectors are 15-pin D female. This provides superior durability, as the pins on male connectors can be easily bent disabling the entire unit. A male to male MAC cable will typically be required for connection between the computer and the input to the DA1406WM.

Four ID bit switches allow a user to boot up a computer at a variety of monitor settings. Though primarily designed for use with displays using 15-pin D (MAC-type) connectors, the DA1406WM can pass RGBHV, RGBS, and RGsB format signals. Adapter cables may be necessary to accomplish the appropriate connector change.

The DA1406WM is great for desktop use, but can also be rack-mounted using optional hardware.
