Quick Start Guide — DA RGB/YUV Step 1 Turn the equipment off and disconnect the equipment from the power source. Step 2 Rack, under-desk, or through-desk mount the DA as desired. DA2 RGBHV — Use an optional RSU 129 1U Rack Shelf, part #60-190-01, for rack mounting. Use an optional MBU 125 Under-Desk Mount Kit, part #70-077-01, to mount the DA under furniture. Use an optional MBD 129 Thru-Desk Mount Kit, part #70-077-02, to mount the DA through furniture.
Quick Start Guide — DA RGB/YUV, cont’d Chapter 1 • Introduction .......................................................... 1-1 Step 5 Video outputs — Connect RGB or component video displays or other devices as shown. You can use a DA6 YUV A to buffer RGsB or RsGsBs video. You can also output RGBS video by connecting the composite sync (S) plane on the digital audio BNC to the composite sync (S) input of the video displays or other devices.

Introduction About the Distribution Amplifiers The Extron DA RGB/YUV series (figure 1-1) is a family of three RGB video distribution amplifiers (DAs) and one component video DA with digital audio. The DAs buffer one RGB or component video input and distribute the buffered signals to multiple destinations with no loss of signal quality.
Installation and Operation Installation Overview Install a DA RGB/YUV by performing the following steps: 1 Turn off the input and output devices, and unplug their power cords. 2 If desired, mount the DA in a rack, under a furniture surface, or through furniture. See Mounting Options, below. 3 Connect the input and all desired outputs. See Rear Panel Connections later in this chapter. 4 Plug in the DA and the input and output devices. Turn on the input and output devices.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Rack mounting the DA4 and DA6 1. Attach the rack mount brackets to the DA with the eight provided #8 machine screws (figure 2-2). Mounting Screws (2 Plcs) Each Side Drill pilot holes 3/32” (2.4 mm) diam 1/4” (6.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Through-furniture mounting the DA Slide the DA up and down or back and forth in the mounting brackets until the face of the DA is at the desired height. Tighten the screws that secure the bracket in place. 5. The DAs can be mounted through a desk or other furniture. The DA2 RGBHV requires an optional MBD 129 Through-Desk Mount Kit, part #70-077-02. The DA4 and DA6 models require the included through-desk and rack mounting bracket.

Installation and Operation, cont’d 4 Digital audio output (DA6 YUV A only) — Connect digital audio devices to these female BNC connectors for each audio output. Controls and Indicators Each of the DAs has power LEDs on both the front panels (figure 2-11) and rear panels (figure 2-5 through figure 2-7) and two DIP switch controls on the rear panel. If you are using the DA to buffer RGBS video, connect this connector to the composite sync (S) input of the video displays or other devices.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Operation and Troubleshooting Connect the power cords and turn on the displays (projectors or monitors), the DA, and the input device (computer). The image should appear on the screens. DA RGB/YUV Distribution Amplifiers If the image does not appear or is not displayed correctly 1. Ensure that all devices are plugged in. 2. Make sure that each device is receiving power. The DA’s front and rear panel power LEDs indicate if the DA is receiving power. 3.
