Introduction
About this Manual
This manual contains information about the Extron Extender
series line drivers, and on how to operate and congure them.
“Extender” or “line driver” are used to refer to all models
interchangeably when instructions apply to more than one
model.
PRELIMINARY
About the Extender Series VGA Line Drivers
The Extron Extender Series are one-input VGA–UXGA line
drivers with audio. There are nine models in the series:
• Extender AAP
• Extender AAP EX
• Extender WM
• Extender D
• Extender WM AAP
• Extender WM AUS
• Extender MK
• Extender AKM UK AAP
• Extender AKM MAAP.
They boost the video signal between a laptop or desktop
computer and a monitor or projector. Each has a 300 MHz
(-3 dB) video bandwidth.
Each line driver accepts one computer-video input and one
stereo audio input. Each Extender also features one buffered
VGA-type RGB output and one stereo audio output. With
an optional Mac/VGA adapter, the Extender can also buffer
Macintosh signals.
Differences between the models
All Extender models are functionally identical but they have
different mounting options.
For details about mounting the Extender AAP, Extender WM,
Extender D, Extender WM AAP, Extender WM AUS, and the
Extender MK, see “Preparing the Site and Installing the Wall
Box” in chapter 2.
