Extron Electronics has introduced DA HD 4K PLUS Series one input, multiple output distribution amplifiers for HDMI signals at resolutions up to 4K/60 @ 4:4:4 chroma sampling.
The DA HD 4K PLUS Series are HDCP 2.2 compliant and support data rates up to 18 Gbps, HDR, Deep Color up to 12-bit, 3D, and HD lossless audio formats. They also include automatic input cable equalisation, automatic colour bit depth management, and selectable output muting via RS-232. The DA HD 4K PLUS Series distribution amplifiers are available in two, four, and six output sizes, and are suitable for applications that require the distribution of a 4K/60 HDMI source signal to multiple displays.
Front panel indicators provide monitoring and troubleshooting. Outputs can be muted independently via RS-232, allowing content to be previewed on a local monitor. Also featured are Extron EDID Minder and Key Minder technologies to maintain continuous EDID communication between connected devices, ensuring simultaneous distribution of HDCP-encrypted source content. Each output on the DA HD 4K PLUS Series provides +5 VDC, 250 mA for powering peripheral devices.
The DA2 HD 4K PLUS is housed in a 2.5 cm high, quarter rack width metal enclosure that can be mounted in a rack or discreetly installed beneath a desk. It includes an external, universal power supply for worldwide power compatibility. The DA4 HD 4K PLUS and DA6 HD 4K PLUS are housed in 1U high, half rack width metal enclosures, are rack-mountable, and are equipped with internal universal power supplies.
