Introduction

The Extron MDA 5 Series of Mini Distribution Amplifiers (MDAs) are a family of three video and audio distribution amplifiers. The MDA are members of the Extron VersaTools™ line of basic distribution amplifiers, switchers, and associated video accessories.

The MDA 5V distributes buffered composite video, the MDA 5SV distributes buffered S-video (luminance (Y) and chrominance (C)), and the MDA 5A RCA distributes amplified stereo audio, on RCA outputs.

The MDAs ship with external, desktop 12V power supplies, which accept 100-240VAC input.

Installation

The MDA 5V, 5SV, and 5A RCA 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 MDA on a VersaTools 19" 1U Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-20) (figure 1) or a standard Universal 1U Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-01) (figure 2). On the standard rack shelf, the MDA mounts in one of four locations to the rear of the rack or in one of four locations to the front of the rack.

3.

Install blank panel(s) or other unit(s) to the rack shelf.

4.Insert the shelf into the rack, aligning the holes in the shelf with those of the rack.

5.Secure the shelf to the rack using the supplied machine screws. This shelf can be mounted in the front or in the rear of the rack.

Only products in the VersaTools line can be mounted to a VersaTools shelf. Any 1U rack-mountable Extron product can be mounted on the standard shelf.

5SV, 5A RCA, MDA 5V specifications

Extron Electronics has long been a leader in the field of signal distribution and management technologies, and its MDA series is a testament to the company’s commitment to high-quality, versatile solutions. Among the notable models in this series are the MDA 5SV, MDA 5A RCA, and MDA 5V, each designed to cater to specific signal distribution needs while ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

The MDA 5SV is a five-output distribution amplifier that supports a wide range of video signals, including composite, S-Video, and component video. This model features state-of-the-art circuitry that minimizes signal degradation, ensuring that high-quality video is maintained even over long distances. The MDA 5SV’s robust design allows it to easily handle multiple signals without introducing noise or distortion, making it an ideal choice for classrooms, conference rooms, and other professional AV setups.

Similarly, the MDA 5A RCA model focuses on providing exceptional audio and video distribution capabilities through its five RCA outputs. This unit is particularly beneficial for systems where standardized RCA connections are preferred. It boasts a simple yet effective layout, allowing for easy integration with existing video equipment. The MDA 5A RCA ensures that video signals are distributed without loss of quality, thanks to its advanced circuitry and amplifier technologies designed to maintain signal integrity.

The MDA 5V, on the other hand, is engineered for applications that require higher resolution video signals. It supports HD video formats and provides five outputs, making it a perfect fit for modern AV environments requiring full HD distribution. Like its counterparts, the MDA 5V utilizes Extron's proprietary technology to reduce video artifacts and improve overall signal clarity, thereby enhancing the viewing experience.

Common features across the MDA series include adjustable gain controls, which allow users to fine-tune the output levels according to their specific equipment requirements. The devices also feature built-in LED indicators for easy monitoring of power and signal status. Also noteworthy is their compact design, which enables efficient integration into AV racks or setups with limited space.

In summary, Extron's MDA series, encompassing the MDA 5SV, MDA 5A RCA, and MDA 5V, represents the pinnacle of video and audio distribution solutions. With their advanced technologies and robust features, these devices ensure that professionals can achieve uncompromised signal quality across varied AV applications, making them essential tools for any advanced AV installation.
