Features
EDID Minder — The EDID Minder maintains continuous EDID communication with the attached source to ensure that the DVI
source powers up correctly and maintains a proper video output, even if the display is off.
EDID Lock — The last recorded EDID is saved to the input and used after a power cycle or after displays have been changed.
The EDID presented to the input is not affected by power cycles or changing the output displays (even with hot-plug changes).
High resolution DVI-D input — The distribution amplifiers accept one single link DVI-D input, with a resolution range up to
1920x1200 or 1080p @ 60 Hz.
Input equalization — Input Equalization (EQ) conditions the input signals to ensure the integrity of the signals.
Pre-emphasis — This feature enables the distribution amplifier to compensate for poor signals delivered to the output devices.
DVI-D outputs — The units distribute four (DVI DA4 Plus), six (DVI DA6 Plus), or eight (DVI DA8 Plus) single link DVI-D output
signals simultaneously, at resolutions up to 1920x1200 or 1080p @ 60 Hz.
External power supply — All three models are powered by an

Power on pin 14 — The distribution amplifiers provide a 5 VDC (250 mA) power on each output for peripheral devices.
Front panel indicator LED — The LED light on the front panel provides feedback about power status and whether an input signal
is detected.
Versatile mounting options — All three units can be mounted in a rack, under a desk, or set on a tabletop.
