4.4 POWER INPUT CONNECTOR
The
DA2000TM
has a 2.5mm DC power jack f or
connection to a 9V 500mA power external
adapter. The power regulation is provided inside
the unit. A selection of several power adapters is
available for different countries from 110 VAC to
240 VAC.
4.5 POWER/SIGNAL PRESENT INDICATOR
The
DA2000TM
has an LED on the front panel,
which provides feedback to the user. W hen power
is connected to the
DA2000TM,
the LED will turn
red. When a computer video source is connected
to the
DA2000TM
, the LED will turn green,
indicating that the unit is receiving a signal by
sensing the presence of the sync portion of the
signal.

2
Is the input

important
when I use
the
DA2000TM
3
What are the
resolutions of

computer
signals that

through the
DA2000TM
4
May I use cat
5 cable
instead of
coaxial
cable?
The
DA2000TM
is optimized
for 75ft, but longer or shorter
lengths may be used.
?
The
DA2000TM
may be used with two types
of input cables — VGA Ytype cables and straight
VGA Male to Male cables.
?
We recomm end straight
input VGA cables for best
results.
The resolutions of input
computer signals that can
pass through the
DA2000TM
are as follows: a) 1280x1024
– UXGA
b) 1024x768 – XGA
c) 800x600 – SVGA
?
d) 640x480 – VGA
No, you can not use cat 5
cable instead of coaxial
cable because the quality of
the received signal will be
lost.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 10
We have carefully tested and have found no
problems in the supplied
we would like to offer the f ollowing suggestions
Make sure that the display equipment is
•
compatible with the source equipment.
Please make sure that input amplitude of the
•
video analog signal is less than 1.5V and is at
TTL level for SYNC sig nal.
Please use the ALTINEX provided external AC
•
adapter, which supplies 9V DC at 500mA.
Please make sure that the proper quality of
•
cables with coaxial component for video and
audio channels is used. We recommend
ALTINEX made cables for best r esults.
If a problem arises after continuous usage at
•
higher voltage, higher temperature, higher
humidity, or at other extreme environmental
conditions, please correct the problem.
