Introduction

This guide describes the function, installation, and operation of the Extron HDMI DA2 distribution amplifier. Unless otherwise stated, the terms “distribution amplifier” or “DA” refer to the HDMI DA2.

This section provides the following information: zz About the HDMI DA2

zz HDMI DA2 Features

zz HDMI DA2 Application Diagram

About the HDMI DA2

The Extron HDMI DA2 distribution amplifier distributes one HDMI input signal to two outputs simultaneously. It is fully High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compliant.

The HDMI DA2 supports data rates up to 6.75 Gbps (2.25 Gbps per color) with up to 12-bit deep color and uses the EDID Minder® feature for EDID management.

The automatic output compatibility correction feature scans each output device to ensure that the output signal is compatible with the audio capabilities, color depth, and format requirements of the device. Each output is adjusted independently.

HDMI DA2 Features

HDMI signal distribution — The HDMI DA2 accepts one HDMI input and provides two HDMI outputs.

Key Minder® — Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between the input and output devices to enable simultaneous distribution of a single encrypted source to two displays.

Signal Status LEDs — Front panel signal status LEDs indicate TMDS and HDCP status for the input and each output.

EDID Minder — This feature allows the user to choose from a list of 46 factory loaded EDID files, to import EDID information from either of the display devices, or to import and save an EDID file from a PC. EDID Minder has two modes of operation that can be selected and configured using SIS commands:

zz Automatic: EDID from the display connected to output 1 is read and stored at the input automatically (default mode). Use SIS commands to read and store EDID from output 2.

zz User assigned: EDID can be manually assigned from the internal factory EDID table, which contains 46 unique EDID files categorized by native resolution and audio support. Additionally, there are four user slots available to store and recall EDID from connected displays.

HDMI DA2 • Introduction

Output Compatibility Correction — The HDMI DA2 monitors the EDID of each connected display to ensure it is compatible with the current input signal. The following adjustments are made for each output independently:

zz Interface format: If the connected display is DVI and the input signal is HDMI, the signal is reformatted to DVI. If the output is HDMI and the input is DVI, no reformatting is needed because HDMI is backwards compatible with DVI.

zz Video color bit depth: If the connected output device does not support the color bit depth of the input signal, it is truncated down to the next level that is supported

(12 bit > 10-bit > 8-bit). The signal can be forced to always truncate to 8-bit via Simple

Instruction Set (SIS™) commands, disabling deep color.

zz Audio: If the connected output device does not support the audio format of the input signal, audio is muted.

NOTE: These adjustments do not affect the actual video or audio data (there is no video scaling or audio decoding or mixing). It is up to the user or installer to ensure that the connected display device is compatible with the video resolution of the input signal.

Easy mounting options — The HDMI DA2 is a quarter rack wide, 1 inch high, and 3 inches deep, which allows the unit to be conveniently mounted in a rack or under furniture.

HDMI DA2 • Installation

Connecting the Power Supply

Connect the provided 12 VDC, 1 A power supply to the HDMI DA2 by following these instructions:

ATTENTION: • This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit marked “Class 2” or “LPS,” rated 12 VDC, maximum 1.0 A. Always use a power supply supplied or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.

•Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.

•The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75, and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to building structure or similar structure.

1.Cut the DC output cord to the length needed.

2.Strip the jacket to expose 3/16 inch (5 mm) of the conductor wire.

NOTES: • The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). If the exposed section is longer, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If it is shorter, the wires can be easily pulled out, even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become loose over time.

3.Strip the jacket to expose 3/16 inch (5 mm) of the conductor wire.

WARNING: Remove power before wiring. The two

power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in.

HDMI DA2 • Installation

Connecting the Input Source

Use a HDMI cable to connect the input source to the female HDMI socket on the rear panel (B in figure 2).

The connectors are fully HDCP compliant. With cables up to 25 feet (7.6 m) they support resolutions of up to 1080p @ 60 Hz with 12-bit color. With cables up to 50 feet (15.2 m) they support 1080p or 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz with 8-bit color.

Follow these instructions to secure the input and output

HDMI connectors to the HDMI DA2 with the LockIt™ HDMI lacing bracket provided:

1.	Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection.	1	2
1.	Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection.
2.	Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from
	the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket
	to be placed over it. The screw does not have to be
	removed.	3

3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector, then tighten the screw to secure the bracket.

ATTENTION: Do not overtighten the HDMI connection mounting screw. The 4 shield it fastens to is very thin

and can easily be stripped.

4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing bracket as shown.

5.While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length.

Connecting the Output Displays

Use a HDMI cable to connect up to two output displays to the female HDMI sockets on the rear panel (C in figure 2 on page 3).

NOTE: Secure the input and output HDMI connectors to the HDMI DA2 with the provided

LockIt™ HDMI lacing bracket (see Connecting the Input Source).

Connect the primary display to output 1 since EDID from output 1 is read and stored automatically. If necessary, EDID can be configured using SIS commands (see page 17).

The HDMI DA2 monitors the EDID of each connected display to ensure it is compatible with the current input signal. The following adjustments are made for each output independently:

zz Video color bit depth: If the connected output device does not support the color bit depth of the input signal, it is truncated down to the next level that is supported

(12 bit > 10-bit > 8-bit). The signal can be forced to always truncate to 8-bit via SIS commands, disabling deep color.

zz Audio: If the connected output device does not support the audio format of the input signal, audio is muted.

If the source requires HDCP encryption and the display is not HDCP compliant, that output channel outputs a green screen.

Both outputs carry +5 VDC and up to 250 mA on pin 18, regulated by a current limiting circuit.
