P/2 DA2xi

P/2 DA2xi MT

The P/2 DA2xi and the P/2 DA2xi MT are distribution amplifiers
that accept video input from a VGA, XGA, or UXGA compatible
PC and distribute the signal to separately buffered outputs. Each
output can be extended with Extron VGA Mini-HR cables from 6'
to 250' in length. The MT model also has audio input and output.
Both models can be powered by newer computers compatible
with the new VESA standard using pin 9 of the VGA connector as
the +5VDC source. An external power supply is also provided
for use with older computers, where power is unavailable
through the VGA connector or the available power is inadequate.
Features
Powered by computer — This unit can be powered by most
newer computers.
Power/Signal LED — Green LED = power + signal. Amber
LED = power but no signal. Off = no power.
Gain/Peak DIP switch — To compensate for longer cable runs.
Out Imp DIP switch — Changes the output impedance to be
compatible with all projectors.
Cable retention chain — To prevent a lost or misplaced input
VGA cable, the cable can be secured to the unit (either model)
with the supplied chain (attached to the right standoff nut of
the input VGA connector).

Installation
The P/2 DA2xi and P/2 DA2xi MT 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 P/2 DA2xi or P/2 DA2xi
MT on a VersaTools 19" 1U Rack Shelf (part #60-190-20) or a
standard Universal 1U Rack Shelf (part #60-190-01) as shown in
figure 2.
Only products in the VersaTools line can be mounted to a
VersaTools rack shelf.
Figure 2 — Mounting the P/2 DA2xi or P/2 DA2xi MT on
a rack shelf
1. Remove the rubber feet (if installed) and mount the unit on the
rack shelf, using two screws in opposite (diagonal) corners.
2. Install blank panel(s) or other unit(s) to the rack shelf.
3. Insert the shelf into the rack, and secure the shelf to the rack
using the supplied machine screws.
Furniture or projector mounting
Furniture mount or projector mount the unit using the mounting
kit (part #70-077-01, furniture [optional with the P/2 DA2xi,
standard with P/2 DA2xi MT] or #70-077-04, projector [optional
with both units]) as follows:
1. Attach the mounting brackets to the P/2 DA2xi or
P/2 DA2xi MT with the provided machine screws (figure 3).
