ADA 6 Component
The Extron ADA 6 Component is a component/HDTV (high-
definition television) distribution amplifier. It is designed for use
when one component/HDTV video signal must be sent to up to
six output devices (11 with looping) without loss of signal quality.
Features
• Accepts and outputs component video.
• High bandwidth provides signal distribution with no loss of
picture quality.
• Looping allows two amplifiers to be connected to provide up to
11 outputs.
Installation
To install the ADA 6 Component, do the following:
1. Remove power cords from the amplifier and all input and
output devices.
2. If you are rack mounting the amplifier, attach it to a rack
front panel (Extron part number 60-126-01) or rack shelf
(Extron part number 60-030-01), and then mount the
assembly in the rack.
3. Connect the input BNC connectors to the signal source, such
as a high-definition television (HDTV). There are three
connectors: R-Y, B-Y, and Y.

4. If you are looping amplifiers, choose the unit that will be #1,
and connect one set of its outputs to the input on
amplifier #2.
5. Connect each output to the R-Y, B-Y, and Y connectors on its
destination, such as a monitor or large screen projector.
6. Attach a BNC 75-ohm termination plug to each unused
output connector.
7. Reattach power cords, and apply power to the amplifier and
to all input and output devices.
