Introduction The Extron P/2 DA2xi MT is a distribution amplifier that accepts video input from a VGA, XGA, UXGA, or QXGA compatible PC and distributes the signal to separately buffered outputs. The output on the back of the unit can be extended with Extron VGA Series cables from 6 feet to 250 feet in length. The MT model also has audio input and output. Features • Power and Signal LED — Green LED = power + signal. Amber LED = power but no signal. Off = no power.
Installation The Installation section describes: • Connectors, Indicators, and Controls • Mounting Connectors, Indicators, and Controls The front and rear panels of the P/2 DA2xi MT are described below. 2 6 3 4 INPUT MONITOR 7 1 AUDIO 7 6 6 EXT POWER (see manual) 12V 0.2A MAX 5 7 GAIN/PEAK OUT IMP P/2 DA2xi MT OUTPUT L ON 1 Figure 2.
e Power connector — Plug the external 12 V power supply, only when needed (see “Power and Signal indicator LED” on page 2), into this 2-pole captive screw connector. The included power supply is shipped with a plug installed. If you need to cut the DC output cord to a different length and reinstall the plug, refer to the following figure and notes.

f Two-bank DIP switches — These switches affect only the video output (g), not the “monitor” output (d). The Gain/Peak DIP switch should be on (up) when the output cable is over 100 feet (30.5 m). The Out Imp DIP switch changes output impedance. If all connections and operations are correct, but the output device has no picture, switch to the other position. g Video output connector — Connect the video output device (projector, display panel, or monitor) to this connector.
Mounting WARNING: May result in serious injury. Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only (see UL rack mounting guidelines below. The P/2 DA2xi MT can be mounted on a rack shelf, under a desk or tabletop, or on a projector bracket. UL rack mounting guidelines The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the equipment in a rack. 1.
Rack mounting For optional rack mounting, mount the P/2 DA2xi MT on a19-inch, 1U RSF 123 rack shelf kit (part #60-190-20), a universal RSU 126 1U 6-inch deep rack shelf kit (part #60-190-10), or a universal RSU 129 1U 9.5-inch deep rack shelf kit (part #60-190-01), as shown below. 1. Remove the rubber feet (if installed) and mount the unit on the rack shelf, using two screws in opposite (diagonal) corners. 2. Install blank panels or other units to the rack shelf, as required. 3.
Furniture mounting For optional furniture mounting, mount the unit using the mounting kit MBU 125 (part #70-077-01, provided with the P/2 DA2xi MT) as follows: 1. Attach the mounting brackets to the distribution amplifier with the provided machine screws, as shown below. INP UT MO NIT OR Figure 5. Furniture Mounting Option 2. If feet were previously installed on the bottom of the unit, remove them. 3. Hold the unit with the attached brackets against the underside of the table or other furniture.
