ABOUT YOUR DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER 2
The
DA1904SX
is a special distribution amplifier
that offers a 15-pin HD input, a RGBHV main
output (on 5 BNC connectors), and a 15-pin HD
loop output. This product provides a low cost
solution and connector adapter needs. This
configuration is very similar to that which is used
for interfacing VGA type signals. These signals
feed RGBHV to a main presentation display on
BNC connectors, which in turn feed the local
monitor from the loop output. The
DA1904SX
can
be used in this method although it does not
provide other interfacing features, such as Sync
Processing, Horizontal Positioning, etc.
The
DA1904SX
is primarily designed for RGBHV
format signals, but it is also capable of passing
RGBS and RGsB. The
DA1904SX
is extremely
compact and may be mounted to furniture or other
surfaces using optional hardware.
In addition to being used for small distribution
applications with two displays, the
DA1904SX
also
acts as an output module for the Altinex Serial
Distribution System. This is a system, which uses
the concept of creating a high-resolution video bus
in large distribution applications with many
displays. This system provides a lower cost and a
higher performance alternative to the concept of
feeding home runs (a run of cable) to a single
large distribution amplifier.
In the Serial Distribution System, up to thirty
DA1904SX
units may be installed at each monitor
location along the bus, which is created by using
VGA-type cables connected to the 15-pin HD input
and loop output. Each monitor is fed from the
RGBHV output. In this system, the
DA1904SX
units may receive their origin feed from an output
module (
DA1902SX
).
