4.1 Connecting the Inputs to the Distribution Amplifiers
You can connect any HDMI compliant device’s output to the HDMI input. Make certain
that the HDMI cable is securely plugged into the source device as well as the HDMI DA.
Always use a high quality cable, as short a length as possible, for best results.
4.2 Connecting the Outputs to the Destination Devices
Using a high quality HDMI cable, connect the output of the HDMI DA to an HDMI
compliant display device. Use the shortest cable run possible.
4.3 Connecting Power
All units are shipped with a Power Adapter to convert 100~240VAC@50-60Hz to 5VDC.
Connect the DC Output Cable from the Power Adapter to the back of the unit and then
plug the Power Adapter into an AC Receptacle. There is no power switch. The unit
begins to function as soon as it is plugged into AC.
4.4
Using the Positive Cable Securing Feature
If HDMI cables are used that are equipped with Locking type connectors, an added step
is necessary. Each Input and Output has a Hex Nut installed above it. The Hex Nut
provides a threaded receptacle for the screw that is part of the locking HDMI connector
on the cable. Plug in the cable’s Locking HDMI connector and secure it to the unit with
its integral screw. This fastens the cable to the unit and prevents its inadvertent
removal.
4.5 Rack Mount Kits
The Distribution Amplifiers can be mounted in a standard 19” equipment rack. To
mount the 1T-DA-674 in a rack the optional RM-220 Rack Mount kit must be purchased.
Using this kit, up to 2 units can be mounted in a single 1U rack space. A blank panel is
provided when only 1 unit is mounted in the frame. To mount the 1T-DA-678 in a rack,
use the included Rack Ears. Attach these to the sides of the unit for installation into a
19” rack.
5.0 OPERATING THE HDMI DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIERS
Once the input, output and power cables are connected, plug the AC adaptor into the
wall and the Distribution Amplifier will begin to function. A Power LED on the front of the
unit will confirm power is present. On the rear of the units, you’ll find the System Reset
Switch, the EDID selector and a Mini USB port used for factory service. Other than
connecting cables and applying power, there are no other routine operator interventions
required with the possible exception of the EDID jumper.
