Introduction
This guide describes the function, installation and operation of the DP DA2 distribution
amplifier. Unless otherwise stated, the terms “DA” and “distribution amplifier” refer to the
DPDA2.
This section contains the following information:
• About the DP DA2
• DP DA2 Features
• Application Diagram
About the DP DA2
The DP DA2 provides an Extron distribution amplifier for VESA
®
DisplayPort signals. It
accepts a single input with data rates up to 10.8 Gbps and, in normal mode, distributes
two identical outputs with resolutions of up to 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz on each output. Input
and output signals can each be carried a maximum of 25feet (7.62 m).
In Extend mode, the DP DA2 outputs an image with a resolution of up to
3840x1080@60Hz extended over two output displays.
The DP DA2 uses the DisplayPort v1.1a standard and is backwards compatible with
earlier specifications. It has EDID Minder
®
for EDID management, Key Minder
®
for
continuous HDCP verification, and can be controlled by RS-232, using the Extron Simple
Instruction Set (SIS
™
) commands.
DP DA2 Features
DisplayPort — In normal mode provides two identical outputs with PC resolutions
up to 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz, with multi-channel audio and HDTV up to 1080p @ 60 Hz,
distributed with embedded multi-channel digital audio signals.
Thunderbolt
™
source support (input) — Thunderbolt sources are backward
compatible with the DPDA2 input with respect to both audio and video. Thunderbolt
devices are not supported on the DPDA2 outputs.
Signals up to 10.8 Gbps — Supports data rates of either 1.62Gbps (reduced bit rate)or
2.7 Gbps (high bit rate) using one, two, or four lanes.
Dual mode — Allows for interoperability with HDMI, DVI, and VGA display devices.
Provides connectivity between a dual mode DisplayPort-equipped source and HDMI, DVI,
and VGA display devices with an appropriate adapter.
Extend mode — Outputs a single image with a resolution of up to 3840x1080 @ 60 Hz
extended over two output displays.
EDID Minder
®
— Maintains continuous EDID (Extended Display Identification Data)
communication with the attached source. This ensures that the source powers up
correctly and maintains a proper video output, even if the display is off.
Content protection — Supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). The
DPDA2 checks the source and output displays for HDCP compliance.
DP DA2 • Introduction 1
HDCP visual confirmation — Provides a green signal when encrypted content is sent to
a non-compliant display. A full-screen green signal is sent when HDCP-encrypted content
is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, providing immediate visual confirmation
that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.
Key Minder
®
— Authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between all
input and output devices to enable simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to
two or more displays.
Automatic input cable equalization — Up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) at 2560x1600 @ 60
Hz with Extron DisplayPort cables. Conditions incoming digital signals to compensate for
signal loss from long cables, low quality cables, or source devices with poor DisplayPort
signal output.
LED indicators — Provide real-time feedback and monitoring of key performance
parameters by indicating signal presence and HDCP authentication. The tri-color EDID
LED indicator on the back panel shows whether an internal or external EDID is stored.
RS-232 serial control — Allows control by SIS
™
commands either via the controller or
directly from a PC using the front panel USB port or the rear panel 3-pole captive screw
connector.
Output muting control via RS-232 or contact closure — Provides the capability to
mute one or both outputs at any time. This allows content to be viewed on a local monitor
prior to appearing on the main presentation display.
