DESCRIPTION
The Extron DP DA2 is a one input, two output DisplayPort distribution amplifier. The DP DA2 is HDCP compliant and supports data rates up to 10.8 Gbps and computer resolutions up to 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz. The DP DA2 features two Extron-exclusive technologies: EDID Minder®, which maintains continuous EDID communication between connected devices, and Key Minder®, which continuously authenticates HDCP encryption between all devices, ensuring the simultaneous distribution of source content to both displays. Dual-mode DisplayPort support allows source signals to be sent to HDMI, DVI, or VGA display devices with appropriate adapters. The DP DA2 is ideal for applications that require the distribution of a DisplayPort source signal to two displays.
The DP DA2 offers integrator-friendly features, including computer desktop extension over multiple displays, automatic input cable equalization, selectable output muting, and indicators for monitoring and troubleshooting. The DP DA2 supports computer resolutions up to 3840x1080 @ 60 Hz, allowing the computer desktop to be extended across two displays. In addition, the DP DA2 provides automatic input cable equalization up to 25 feet at 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz using Extron DisplayPort Series cable. Automatic input cable equalization restores and reshapes incoming signals, reducing the need for additional signal conditioning equipment by compensating for weak source signals or signal loss from a long input cable. Outputs can be muted independently via RS-232 or contact closure, allowing content to be previewed on a local monitor. Additionally, the DP DA2 provides immediate visual confirmation of EDID status, HDCP authentication, and signal presence for each port via LED indicators.
Housed in a 1U, half rack width metal enclosure, the DP DA2 can be mounted in a rack or installed beneath a desk. It includes an external, universal power supply for worldwide power compatibility.
Features
* Distributes DisplayPort video and embedded multi-channel digital audio signals
* Input: One female DisplayPort connector
* Outputs: Two female DisplayPort connectors
* EDID Minder® automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices — EDID Minder ensures that the source powers up properly and reliably outputs content for display.
* Key Minder® continuously verifies HDCP compliance — Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between all input and output devices to enable simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to two or more displays.
* Supports DisplayPort data rates up to 10.8 Gbps
* Supports PC resolutions up to 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz and HDTV 1080p/60
* Supports resolutions up to 3840x1080 extended across two displays
* HDCP compliant
* Outputs support Dual-mode DisplayPort for interoperability with HDMI, DVI, and VGA display devices — Provides connectivity between a dual-mode DisplayPort-equipped source and HDMI, DVI, and VGA display devices with an appropriate adapter.
* Automatic input cable equalization to 25 feet (7.6 meters) at 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz with Extron DisplayPort cables — Conditions incoming digital signals to compensate for signal loss from long cables, low quality cables, or source devices with poor DisplayPort signal output.
* Output muting control via RS-232 or contact closure — Provides the capability to mute one or both outputs at any time. This allows content to be viewed on a local monitor prior to appearing on the main presentation display.
* EDID status, HDCP authentication, and signal presence LED indicators — Front-panel LED indicators for signal presence and HDCP authentication provide real-time feedback and monitoring of key performance parameters. The tri-color EDID LED indicator on the back panel notifies whether an internal or external EDID is stored.
* HDCP Visual Confirmation provides a green signal when encrypted content is sent to a non-compliant display — A full-screen green signal is sent when HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.
* RS-232 control
* Rack-mountable, 1U half rack width metal enclosure
* Highly reliable, energy-efficient external universal power supply included, replacement part #70-775-01 — Provides worldwide power compatibility, with high demonstrated reliability and low power consumption for reduced operating costs.
