DVI DA Plus Series 2 Chapter Two Installation and Operation Installation Overview Mounting the Distribution Amplifier Front Panel Features Rear Panel Features Operation Troubleshooting
Installation and Operation Installation Overview All three distribution amplifiers can be mounted on tabletops, under furniture, and in racks by following these steps: 1. Ensure that the input sources, the distribution amplifier and the output display(s) are all turned off and all power sources and signal cables are disconnected. 2. Mount the unit as described in "Mounting the Distribution Amplifier", below. 3. Connect the cables (see page 2-9). 4.
Rack mounting the DVI DA4 Plus The DVI DA4 Plus can be mounted on the following (optional) rack shelves: • RSF 123 (3.5" deep, 1U rack shelf kit: part # 60-190-20) • RSB 123 (3.5" deep, 1U basic rack shelf: part # 60-604-20) • RSU 126 (6" deep, 1U rack shelf kit: part # 60-190-10) • RSB 126 (6" deep, 1U basic rack shelf: part # 60-604-10) • RSU 129 (9.5" deep, 1U rack shelf kit: part # 60-190-01) • RSB 129 (9.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Rack mounting the DVI DA6 Plus and DVI DA8 Plus The DVI DA6 Plus and DVI DA8 Plus distribution amplifiers can be mounted using the Extron MBD 149 rack mount kit (provided) as follows: 1. Remove rubber feet if these have been installed on the bottom of the unit. 2. Secure one bracket to each side of the distribution amplifier with the provided bracket mounting screws (four #8 screws for each bracket — see the figure below).
Under-desk mounting Mount the DVI DA6 Plus or DVI DA8 Plus (not shown) under furniture, using the optional Extron MBU 149 under-desk mounting kit (part # 70-222-01). Mount the DVI DA4 Plus using the optional Extron MBU 123 under-desk mounting kit (part # 70-212-01) as shown in the figure below. Follow the same instructions with either kit: Under furniture mounting the DVI DA4 Plus To mount the unit under a desk or table: 1. If necessary, remove rubber feet from the bottom of the unit. 2.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Front Panel Features The front panels for the DVI DA4 Plus (upper panel) and the DVI DA6 Plus/DVI DA8 Plus (lower panel) are shown below: DVI DA PLUS DVI DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER 1 DVI DA Plus SERIES DVI DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER 1 Front panel features a 2-6 LED indicator — This LED indicator illuminates amber when the unit is receiving power but no input signal. When the unit detects an input signal, the LED illuminates green.
Rear Panel Features The rear panels for the DVI DA4 Plus (top panel), the DVI DA6 Plus (middle panel), and DVI DA8 Plus (bottom panel) are shown below: DVI DA4 Plus POWER 12V 1.0A MAX DVI-D INPUT 2 3 DVI-D OUTPUT 1 2 3 4 4 DVI DA6 Plus POWER 12V 1.5A MAX 2 DVI-D OUTPUT DVI-D INPUT 1 2 3 3 4 5 6 5 6 4 DVI DA8 Plus POWER 12V 1.5A MAX DVI-D OUTPUT DVI-D INPUT 1 2 3 4 7 8 Rear panel features b c d Power input — Connect the external power supply (provided) to the 3.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Power supply input Connect the two pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector from the power supply (provided with the unit) to this orange socket on the rear panel. POWER 12V 1.0A MAX Back Panel Power Receptacle DC Power Cord Captive Screw Connector Ground +12 VDC AC Power Cord External Power Supply (12 VDC, 2 A ) The external power supply in the illustration above (12 VDC, 2A) is for use with the DVI DA4 Plus.
Input cable connections Connect a single link DVI-D source device, with a resolution range up to 1920 x1200 or 1080p @ 60 Hz, to the female DVI-I input, using a DVI cable. N Although these distribution amplifiers have DVI-I connectors, they are only compatible with single link DVI-D video signals. Input EQ conditions input signals to ensure the integrity of the signals delivered to the output devices.
Installation and Operation, cont’d DVI connector pin assignments The illustration below shows the pin assignments for the DVI-I connectors. N Although DVI-I dual link connectors are used, these distribution amplifiers are only compatible with single link DVI-D video signals.
Operation 1. Connect the captive screw connector from the supplied 12 VDC power supply into the power receptacle on the rear panel. Do not power on the power supply yet. 2. Connect the source device to the DVI input receptacle on the rear panel. 3. Run cables from the display device(s) and connect them to the DVI output receptacles on the rear panel. 4. Power on the display device(s). 5. Power on the distribution amplifier. The LED will light amber to show that the unit is receiving power. 6.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Troubleshooting No output signal — Check that the front panel LED is on (amber shows that the unit is receiving power, green shows that it is also receiving an input signal). If LED is not lit, check the power supply and/or video input connections to the unit (see page 2-6). No output signal or poor quality signal — Check the integrity of the cabling from the source device to the distribution amplifier and from the distribution amplifier to each of the display devices.
