Quick Start Guide
AutoPatch S-Video DA Modules & AF-10 Boards
Overview
S-Video Distribution Amplifier (DA) boards are available as either standalone
distribution amplifier modules (left in FIG. 1) or as distribution amplifier accessory
boards for an AF-10 (right in FIG. 1). The S-Video DA Module has one input and four
outputs for a 1:4 distribution. S-Video DA boards have five S-Video connectors; either
one input and four outputs or five outputs that are paired with the 1:4 board to create a
1:9 distribution amplifier.
Product Specifications
Product specifications below are specifically for AMX AutoPatch S-Video cables.

Board System Set-up
S-Video DA 1:4 and 5-out boards are available for the AMX AutoPatch AF-10
Accessory Card Frame. The 1:4 board is built to use alone or in conjunction with the
5-out board. When using both, these boards must be installed in adjoining slot pairs,
with the 5-out board to the left of the 1:4 board for a 1:9 distribution.
