DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIERS 4.1 INPUT 4.2 OUTPUTS The Computer Input connector of the DA1920SX is connected to the Video output of the laptop or desktop computer. Use a 3 foot Male to Male VGA Input cable (ALTINEX part number CB3703MR) with the DA1920SX. A longer input cable may be used but lengths over 15 feet are generally not recommended to preserve the signal quality. If desired, the HD-15 input can be easily adapted to 5-BNC connector output with a proper cable. The DA1920SX has two buffered outputs.
