Introduction, Features, Installation | Extron electronic P/2 DA2XI

Introduction

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.

Only products in the VersaTools line can be mounted to a VersaTools rack shelf.

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.

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).
