AMX HD-15 Quick Start Manual

Overview
The RGBHV (HD-15) DAD (Distribution Amplifier Driver) Module has one HD-15 input
connector and four HD-15 output connectors for 1:4 distribution of RGBHV analog
signals. The single RGBHV input is distributed to four outputs over standard cable
runs of up to 100 ft. (30.48 m) over VGA cable and up to 250 ft. (76.2 m) using
break-out cable to coax with no additional equipment required.
The input connector is typically cabled to a computer with a VGA graphics card, while
the output connectors are cabled to four display devices (monitors, projectors, etc.).
Each output can be independently adjusted for gain and peaking to ensure the proper
amount of compensation is provided for each cable run. This guide contains complete
information for this product.
