Introduction
The Extron MDA 5 Series of Mini Distribution Amplifiers (MDAs) are a family of three video and audio distribution amplifiers. The MDA are members of the Extron VersaTools™ line of basic distribution amplifiers, switchers, and associated video accessories.
The MDA 5V distributes buffered composite video, the MDA 5SV distributes buffered S-video (luminance (Y) and chrominance (C)), and the MDA 5A RCA distributes amplified stereo audio, on RCA outputs.
The MDAs ship with external, desktop 12V power supplies, which accept 100-240VAC input.
Installation
The MDA 5V, 5SV, and 5A RCA 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 MDA on a VersaTools 19" 1U Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-20) (figure 1) or a standard Universal 1U Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-01) (figure 2). On the standard rack shelf, the MDA mounts in one of four locations to the rear of the rack or in one of four locations to the front of the rack.
