INSTALLING YOUR DISTRIBUTION
AMPLIFIER

6

Step 1.

Make sure that the correct power adapter
is connected to the unit. A red LED will
light to indicate that the unit is receiving
power.

Step 2.

Connect the video output of the source
(computer or other high-resolution
source) to the input of the 

DA1904SX

using a short, high quality coaxial-type
cable. Typically, this will require the use
of a VGA Male to Male cable (CB3700
Series).

Step 3.

Connect monitors or projectors to the
main output of the 

DA1904SX

 using the

appropriate RGBHV (CB4200 Series)
type cables or adapter cables.

Step 4.

  If the 

DA1904SX

 is being used in the

Serial Distribution System, make sure
that the end of the video bus is properly
terminated with a monitor or with a
termination plug. This would usually be
done on the loop end of the 

DA1904SX

.

An unterminated image will appear too
bright and may have a distorted color.

Step 5.

Verify that the picture quality on all
displays is perfect. If you are not receiving
a signal, make sure that the display is
compatible with the resolution of the
computer graphics card.

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE DONE.

OPERATION

7

The 

DA1904SX

 will operate successfully as long

as cables are attached properly and other
technical specifications are followed. There are no
other adjustments necessary to operate the unit.
