About this Manual

This manual provides information on the Extron VersaTools® MDA EQ series video distribution amplifiers and discusses how to install and operate them.

About the MDA EQ Series Mini Distribution Amplifiers

The Extron MDA EQ series are compact composite video and S-video mini distribution amplifiers with individual output gain and equalization controls that compensate for different cable lengths for each output. (Each adjustment on the MDA 4SV EQ model aequalizes two outputs.) The MDA EQ products are also line drivers, able to handle 1000 feet of Extron Mini HR cable.

Models

MDA 2V EQ — One input, two output composite video distribution amplifier with equalization and gain controls for each output

MDA 4V EQ — One input, four output composite video distribution amplifier with equalization and gain controls for each output

MDA 4SV EQ — One input, four output S-video distribution amplifier with equalization and gain controls for every two outputs and phase control for Chroma channel

Features

Individual equalization and gain controls — Gain and equalization (EQ) adjustments allow optimized compensation for outputs with various cable lengths for different applications.

Video loop-through — All models feature a 75 ohm video loop- through connector, which provides for local monitoring and cascading to another distribution amplifier.

Power supply — An external desktop 12 VDC power supply with a two-pin captive screw connector. It accepts 100 to 240 VAC input.

Enclosure — All models have the light, compact VersaTools 1U quarter rack enclosure, three inches in depth.

Rack, projector, and furniture mountability — All models can be mounted on a rack shelf, under a desk or podium, or on a projector.
