Introduction

This guide describes the function, installation, and operation of the DA2HD4KPLUS, DA4HD4KPLUS, and DA6HD4KPLUS distribution amplifiers. Unless otherwise stated, the terms “distribution amplifier”, “DA” or “DA PLUS” refer to any of these distribution amplifiers.

About the DA2HD4KPLUS,DA4HD4KPLUS, and DA6HD4KPLUS

The Extron DAHD4KPLUS Series are one input, multiple output HDMI distribution amplifiers for 4K signals. They distribute one 4K input signal to two (DA2HD4KPLUS), four (DA4HD4KPLUS), or six (DA6HD4KPLUS) simultaneous outputs. They support data rates up to 18.0Gbps, including computer and video resolutions up to 4096x2160@60Hz and 1080p@60Hz 4:4:4 with Deep Color, 3D, Lip Sync, HDR (high dynamic range), and HD lossless audio formats.

NOTE: Extron strongly recommends compatibility testing while designing, and before

installing any 3D or HDR system. There are several unique 3D and HDR formats in use by source devices and display manufacturers. The level of 3D and HDR product support is governed by pixel clock, signal format, and communication between source and sink devices. Please contact an Extron Application Engineer for more information.

All three models feature EDIDMinder, which maintains continuous EDID communication between connected devices, and KeyMinder, which continuously authenticates HDCP encryption between all devices, ensuring the simultaneous distribution of source content to all displays.

The DAHD4KPLUSdistribution amplifiers provide automatic input cable equalization up to 15feet (4meters) for 4K @ 60 Hz signals, automatic color bit depth adjustment, and allow outputs to be independently muted.

Front panel LEDs provide immediate confirmation of HDCP authentication and signal presence.

DA HD 4K PLUS Series • Introduction 1

Features

• 4K signal distribution — Distributes 4K HDMI video and embedded multi‑channel

digital audio signals. These distribution amplifiers accept one 4K input through a female HDMI type‑A connector and provide two (DA2HD4KPLUS), four (DA4HD4KPLUS), or six (DA6HD4KPLUS) simultaneous outputs.

• Supports HDMI 2.0b specifications, including:

• Data rates up to 18.0Gbps

• Deep Color up to 12‑bit

• 3D

• Lip Sync

• HDR

• HD lossless audio formats

• Supports computer and video resolutions up to 4K, including 1080p@60Hz

Deep Color.

• EDIDMinder — Automatically manages EDID communication between connected

devices ensuring that the source powers up properly and reliably outputs content for display.

• HDCP compliant — Ensures display of content‑protected media and interoperability

with other HDCP‑compliant devices. Supports HDCP2.2 and compatible with non‑HDCP2.2 sources and sinks.

• KeyMinder continuously verifies HDCP compliance — 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, four, or six displays.

• User-selectable HDCP authorization — Allows the unit to appear HDCP compliant

or non‑HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP‑compliant device. Protected material is not passed in non‑HDCP mode.

• HDCP Visual Confirmation — 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.

• HDCP authentication and signal presence LED indicators — Front‑panel LED

indicators for signal presence and HDCP authentication provide real‑time feedback and monitoring of key performance parameters.

• Automatic input cable equalization — Up to 100feet (30meters) for

720pat60Hz with a 4.95Gbps signal and up to 15feet (4meters) for 4Kat60Hz with a 18.0Gbps signal when used with Extron HDMI Pro Series cable. Actively conditions incoming HDMI signals to compensate for signal loss when using long cables, low quality cables, or source devices with poor signal output.

• Automatic color bit depth management — The DAHD4KPLUSSeries

distribution amplifiers automatically adjust color bit depth based on the display EDID, preventing color compatibility conflicts between source and displays.

• HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction — Automatically reformats HDMI

source signals for output to a connected DVI display.

• Output muting via RS-232 or USB port — Provides the capability to mute one or

all outputs at any time. This allows content to be viewed on a local monitor prior to appearing on the main presentation display.

• Easy setup and commissioning with the Extron Product Configuration

Software (PCS) — Conveniently configure multiple products using a single software application.

DA HD 4K PLUS Series • Introduction 2

• RS-232 control port — Enables the use of serial commands for integration into

a control system. Extron products use the SIS ‑ Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII commands that allow for quick and easy programming and control.

• Front panel USB configuration port — Enables easy configuration without having

to access the rear panel.

• Easy mounting options — The DA2HD4KPLUS features a 1inch(2.5cm) high,

quarterrack width enclosure. The DA4HD4KPLUS and DA6HD4KPLUS feature a 1U high, halfrack width enclosure. All three products can be conveniently mounted in standard racks or under furniture.

• Includes LockIt HDMI cable lacing brackets — LockIt lacing brackets are used to

secure HDMI cables connected to the HDMI input and output connectors, preventing accidental disconnection of the cables.

• Provides +5 VDC, 250 mA power on each output for external peripheral

devices.

• Worldwide power compatibility — The DA2HD4KPLUS includes an

energy‑efficient external universal power supply. The DA4HD4KPLUS and DA6HD4KPLUS are equipped with an 100‑240VAC, 50/60Hz, internal universal power supply.

Installation Overview

To install and set up the DAHD4KPLUSSeries distribution amplifiers, follow these instructions:

1. Mount the unit in a suitable location (see Mounting on page33).

2. Connect power to the unit:

• DA2HD4KPLUS — Connect the provided 12VDC power supply to the power

inlet (see Connecting Power on page6).

ATTENTION:

• Do not connect any external power supplies until you have read the

Attention notiﬁcations on page7.

• Ne branchez pas de sources d’alimentation externes avant d’avoir lu les

mises en garde sur la page7.

• DA4HD4KPLUS and DA6HD4KPLUS — Connect to a 100‑240VAC
