Recommended Extron product:
For either of these projectors, the P/2 DA1,
also known as “The Peaker,” is the ideal
product to ensure a high quality
presentation. The P/2 DA1 peaks or drives
the video output of the laptop or PC. It also
restores the low level sync found on many
laptops and compensates for long cable runs
and poor quality cable. The P/2 DA1 is
available in a 110V, 220V, and USB version.
The USB version obtains its power from the
USB port on the laptop or PC. The Peaker or
P/2 DA1 gives added confidence to the
presenter on the go.
