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:

z About the HDMI DA2

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:

z 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.

z 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 1

Output Compatibility Correction — The HDMI DA2 monitors the EDID of each

Ext HDMI

Dist Am

HD Display

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

z 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.

z 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.

z 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.

Installation Overview

To install and set up the HDMI DA2, follow these instructions:

1. Mount the HDMI DA2 in a suitable location (see page 25).

2. Connect the provided 12 VDC power supply to the power connector. Be sure to

read all attention points, notes, and warnings in this section before powering up the HDMI DA2 (see page 4).

3. Connect the display devices to the HDMI DA2 and power them on (see page 5).

The distribution ampliﬁer automatically reads and stores EDID from the display connected to output 1.

4. If necessary, connect a control PC to the rear panel captive screw connector (see

page6) or the front panel USB port (see page 7).

5. Conﬁgure the HDMI DA2, using SIS commands (see page 17).

6. Connect and power on the input device (see page 5).

POWER

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

WARNING: Remove power before wiring. The two power cord wires must be kept

separate while the power supply is plugged in.

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. Verify the polarity of the wires.

4. Slide the exposed end into the captive screw connector

and secure by tightening the screw.

5. Use the supplied tie wrap to strap the power cord to the

extended tail of the connector.
