ABOUT YOUR DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER 2

The 

DA1912SX

 Distribution Amplifier is designed

to allow the connection of one high resolution
RGsB or RGBS source to up two scan rate
compatible monitors or projectors.

Although designed to pass an RGBS signal format,
the 

DA1912SX

 can also pass RGsB, Component

Video (Y, R-Y, B-Y), S-Video (Y/C), and Composite
Video by using the appropriate channels. Video
sources must be passed through Red, Green,
and/or Blue channels. The sync channel is not
designed to pass video.

The 

DA1912SX

 Distribution Amplifier is a state-of-

the-art product with a video bandwidth of 350 MHz,
enabling it to remain transparent to the video signal
passing through it. Each output is individually
buffered and is not affected by other output
loading.

The 

DA1912SX

 accepts one input and offers up to

two outputs. Compensation for cable loss is
automatically made for distances up to 100 feet
when set normally, though the 

DA1912SX

 can

drive signals through longer runs depending on
source signal resolution and cable quality.

The 

DA1912SX

 is supplied with a 9V 500mA

External Power Adapter.
