Installation and Operation

Installation Overview

Both distribution amplifiers can be mounted on tabletops, under furniture, and in racks by following these steps:

1. Turn off all electrical equipment. Make sure that the input sources, the DA and the output display(s) are all turned off and all power sources and signal cables are disconnected.

2. Mount the unit as described in "Mounting the Distribution Amplifier", below.

3. Connect the Cables (see "Cable Connections" on page 2-8).

4. Plug in the power supply, then turn on the display devices and input devices (see "Operation" on page 2-9).

Mounting the Distribution Amplifier

The 1 U, half rack size of the distribution amplifiers allow them to be mounted in racks, under furniture or on tabletops.

Tabletop placement

Attach the four provided rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient location.

Rack mounting

UL guidelines for rack mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of these products in a rack:

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +50 ° C) specified by Extron.

2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment gets adequate air flow for safe operation.

3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.

4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Give appropriate consideration to the equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.

DVI DA2, DVI DA4 specifications

Extron Electronics is renowned in the world of AV technology for its innovative solutions in signal distribution. Among its distinguished products are the DVI DA4 and DVI DA2, which are dual-link DVI digital distribution amplifiers designed to deliver high-quality video signals to multiple outputs.

The DVI DA4 is a robust 4-output distribution amplifier that takes a single DVI-D source and splits it into four identical DVI-D outputs. This unit supports video resolutions up to 1920x1200 at a refresh rate of 60Hz, making it ideal for a range of applications, from simple classroom setups to complex multimedia environments. With a bandwidth capability of 1.65 Gbps per channel, the DVI DA4 ensures crisp and reliable signal transmission, minimizing the chances of signal degradation or loss.

One of the standout features of the DVI DA4 is its ability to support dual-link DVI signals, which is crucial for higher resolutions. This feature is particularly beneficial for users who require high-resolution video clarity, such as in graphics-intensive applications or professional video production.

Similarly, the DVI DA2 is a more compact solution, offering two outputs instead of four. It shares many of the same impressive specifications as the DVI DA4, also supporting resolutions up to 1920x1200 and featuring dual-link capability. The DVI DA2 is an excellent choice for small setups or personal workstations where only two outputs are necessary.

Both devices boast advanced signal processing technology that enhances signal integrity over long distances. With thorough engineering, Extron has ensured that users can experience ultra-high-quality video performance without worrying about the nuances of cable lengths or potential electromagnetic interference.

A common hallmark of Extron products is their user-friendly design, and the DVI DA4 and DVI DA2 are no exceptions. Each unit features an intuitive layout, allowing for easy installation and configuration. Additionally, they incorporate LED indicators for monitoring the power and signal status, making it simple to troubleshoot any potential issues.

In summary, the Extron DVI DA4 and DVI DA2 are essential tools for anyone needing reliable, high-quality DVI signal distribution. With their advanced technologies, user-friendly designs, and impressive performance specifications, these distribution amplifiers provide the solutions necessary for effective AV setups across various environments. Whether for corporate, educational, or home use, Extron ensures that video distribution is seamless and efficient.
