COMMON FEATURES

The Extron P/2 DA Series are VGA distribution amplifi ers with four, six, eight,
or twelve outputs. Each unit accepts a single VGA input signal and actively
splits it for distribution to multiple outputs. Offering 350 MHz (-3dB) of RGB
video bandwidth, the P/2 DA Series is compatible with VGA-QXGA graphic
cards, projectors and fl at panel displays. Outputs are individually buffered

and amplifi ed to help maintain the original signal integrity and eliminate
noise interference. ID bits are routed to output one for local monitor support.
The P/2 DA Series is ideal for use in applications where one computer-video
signal needs to be routed to multiple displays, such as rental and staging,
courtrooms, conference rooms, and training facilities.

P/2 DA4xi AND P/2 DA6xi

n Video gain switch – Provides signal boost to maintain video signal

integrity over long cable runs.

The P/2 DA4xi and P/2 DA6xi include a video gain switch which provides a
signal boost to help maintain video signals integrity over long cable runs.

P/2 DA8 AND P/2 DA12

The P/2 DA8 and P/2 DA12 offer selectable input and output sync
impedance. This provides better compatibility with a wide range of laptop
types. These models also feature individual output muting via contact closure.
This feature allows the user to mute any one or all outputs with simple
pushbutton relay control, and eliminates the cost of an extra control system
serial port.

n Individual output muting via contact closure – Mute any one or all

outputs with simple pushbutton or relay control.

n Selectable input and output sync impedance – Sync impedance

can be set for optimum compatibility with a wide range of laptop
computers.

The P/2 DA8 A and P/2 DA12 A have all the features of the P/2 DA8 and
P/2 DA12 and add eight-output and twelve-output stereo distribution

P/2 DA8 A AND P/2 DA12 A

amplifi ers, respectively. Both feature active PC audio buffering which converts
unbalanced PC audio to balanced, line level signals, eliminating noise over
long cable runs. Unbalanced stereo audio is input on 3.5 mm stereo mini
jacks, while balanced or unbalanced stereo audio is output on captive screw
connectors. Using pre-terminated cable assemblies, such as Extron’s VGA with
Audio Cables, eliminates crimping and makes installations faster and easier.

All P/2 DA Series models are housed in 1U high, rack-mountable enclosures.
The P/2 DA4xi and P/2 DA6xi utilize a one-half rack width enclosure, while
