Installation
Step 1
Turn all the equipment off and disconnect all cables.
Step 2
Place the unit on a convenient table top or mount it in a rack, under a desk, or on a projector 
mounting system. Follow the instructions included with the appropriate mounting kit.

Use the provided IEC connector to connect the unit to a convenient power socket. The internal 
power supply supports 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz.
C
  Always use a power supply specified by Extron for this unit. Use of an unauthorized 
power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the 
supply and the distribution amplifier.
Step 4
Connect a video source to the video input, using a female DB-15 connector. Acceptable input 
formats include: RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, YUV (tri-level and bi-level sync), S-video, and 
composite video.
Step 5 (P/2 DA8 A and P/2 DA12 A models only)
Connect an unbalance audio source to the female 3.5 mm TRS connector.
Step 6
Connect up to eight (P/2 DA8 series) or twelve (P/2 DA12 series) display devices using female 
DB-15 connectors. The output signal format follows that of the input.
