Installation

Description

The P/2 DA2 Plus is a one input, two output distribution amplifier that accepts video input from a VGA-UXGA compatible PC and distributes that signal to separately buffered outputs. Each output can be extended with Extron MHR cables up to 250' in length.

An example of a typical installation is shown in the following diagram.

Installation

1.Power off the computer and its local monitor.

2.Connect the computer’s VGA output to the input cable of the distribution amplifier.
