Installation
The Extron P/2 DA1 is a one input, one output VGA line driver. It
boosts the video signal between a laptop or desktop computer (input
device) and a monitor or large screen projector (output device).

Power LED — Lights to indicate that the P/2 DA1 is on.
Signal LED — Lights to indicate that an input signal is
being received.
Features
• The P/2 DA1 accepts and outputs VGA, XGA, SXGA, RsGsBs,
RGsB, RGBS, and RGBHV signals.
Gain/peaking switch — Compensates for cable resistance

• The gain/peaking switch increases video signal voltages to
compensate for signal degradation caused by long cables.

If the signal cable between the P/2 DA1 and the output
device is shorter than approximately 125 feet, and the gain
switch is set to Medium or Maximum, the image may be
overcompensated. If the edges of the image seem to exceed
their boundaries, or if thin lines and sharp edges look thick
and fuzzy, try changing the gain/peaking setting.

Many laptop computers have an external video port, but
they require special commands to output the video to that
connector. Also, many laptops’ screens shut off after the
port is activated. See the computer’s user’s guide for
details, or contact Extron for a list of laptop keyboard
commands.
Power supply — 110–250 V desktop for international use.
