Extron DA4 HD 4K (60-1481-01)
1:4 4K HDMI Distribution Amplifier
10.2 Gbps, 12-bit Deep Colour, 3D, Lip Sync, and HD lossless audio formats, Max. 15m @ 1920×1080 on input
The Extron DA4 HD 4K is a one input, four output distribution amplifier for HDMI signals at resolutions up to 4K. It supports data rates up to 10.2 Gbps, 3D, Lip Sync, and HD lossless audio formats, along with integrator-friendly features such as automatic input cable equalization, automatic colour bit depth management, and selectable output muting. The DA4 HD 4K also features Extron EDID Minder- and Key Minder- technologies to maintain continuous EDID communication between connected devices and ensure simultaneous distribution of HDCP-encrypted source content. The DA4 HD 4K distribution amplifier is ideal for applications that require reliable distribution of a 4K video source signal to two displays.
To enhance and simplify integration, the DA4 HD 4K offers many integrator-friendly features. It provides automatic input cable equalization up to 50 feet, when used with Extron HDMI Pro Series cables. Input cable equalization restores and reshapes incoming HDMI signals, reducing the need for additional signal conditioning equipment by compensating for weak source signals or signal loss from a long input cable. Colour bit depth is automatically adjusted based on the display EDID, which prevents colour compatibility conflicts between source and display. Also, outputs can be muted independently via RS-232, allowing content to be previewed on a local monitor.
The DA4 HD 4K distribution amplifier provides immediate visual confirmation of HDCP authentication and signal presence confirmation for each port via front panel LED indicators. If HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, a full-screen green signal provides immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on that display. HDCP authorisation is user-selectable, allowing the unit to appear HDCP compliant or non-HDCP compliant to the connected source. This is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP-compliant device. The DA4 HD 4K distribution amplifier also provides +5 VDC, 250 mA on each output for powering peripheral devices such as an Extron UHD4K 101 or HDMI 101 Plus cable equalizer.
The DA4 HD 4K is housed in a 1" (2.5 cm) high, quarter rack width metal enclosure that can be mounted in a rack or discreetly installed beneath a desk or behind a display. It includes an external, universal power supply for worldwide power compatibility.
Extron DA4 HD 4K Key Features
- Distributes HDMI video and embedded multi-channel digital audio signals
- Input - One female HDMI type-A connector
- Output - Four female HDMI type-A connectors
- Supports computer and video resolutions up to 4K
- Supported HDMI specification features include data rates up to 10.2 Gbps, Deep Colour up to 12-bit, 3D, Lip Sync, and HD lossless audio formats
- 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.
- HDCP compliant - Ensures display of content-protected media and interoperability with other HDCP-compliant devices.
- User-selectable HDCP authorization - Allows the unit to appear HDCP compliant or non-HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP-compliant device. Protected material is not passed in non-HDCP mode.
- 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.
- Automatic input cable equalization to 50 feet when used with Extron HDMI Pro Series cable - Actively conditions incoming HDMI signals to compensate for signal loss when using long cables, low quality cables, or source devices with poor signal output.
- Automatic Colour bit depth management - The DA2 HD 4K automatically adjusts Colour bit depth based on the display EDID, preventing Colour compatibility conflicts between source and displays.
- HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction - Automatically reformats HDMI source signals for output to a connected DVI display.
- Selectable output muting via RS-232 or USB port - 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.
- Easy setup and commissioning with Extron’s PCS – Product Configuration Software - Conveniently configure multiple products using a single software application.
- 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.
- Provides +5 VDC, 250 mA power on each output for external peripheral devices
- Metal Enclosure, 1†(2.5 cm) high and quarter rack width
- Includes LockIt® HDMI cable lacing brackets
