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 DPDA2.
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 25feet (7.62 m).
In Extend mode, the DP DA2 outputs an image with a resolution of up to 3840x1080@60Hz 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 DPDA2 input with respect to both audio and video. Thunderbolt devices are not supported on the DPDA2 outputs.
Signals up to 10.8 Gbps — Supports data rates of either 1.62Gbps (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 DPDA2 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
TouchLink
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.
