About the DVI DA Plus Series
These Digital Visual Interface (DVI) Distribution Amplifiers (DAs) accept one single
link DVI-D input and distribute four (DVI DA4 Plus), six (DVI DA6 Plus), or eight
(DVI DA8 Plus) single link DVI-D output signals.
All three models use the Extron EDID Minder feature to maintain continuous EDID
(Extended Display Identification Data) communication with the attached source.
This ensures that the DVI source powers up correctly and maintains a proper video
output, even if the display is off.
The DVI DA4 Plus is 1U high and half a rack wide. The DVI DA6 Plus and DVI
DA8 Plus are both 1U high and a full rack wide. All three models offer a variety of
mounting options.
The illustration below shows a typical application of the DVI DA8 Plus.
