DVI Connections

b
Input connector — Connect the input signal to the female DVI connector. The DVI
input signal is equalized to ensure integrity.
c
Output connectors — Connect up to two (DVI DA2) or four (DVI DA4) DVI-D outputs
to display devices, using the female DVI connectors.
d
Local Monitor connector — Output 1 (Local Monitor) is used as a Hotplug Detect,
a DDC clock, and a DDC data reference. For the input device to provide a signal at
the correct resolution and refresh rate, there must be a display device connected to
output 1.
NOTE: Although the source device, local monitor, and remote display devices all connect
to the distribution amplifiers through DVI-I connectors, the DVI DA2 and DVI DA4
are compatible only with single-link DVI-D video signals.
To enable the units to accept sources providing HDMI signals or to provide signals to
displays that accept HDMI signals, use a HDMI to DVI adapter or cable, such as the Extron
HDMIF-DVIDM female HDMI to male DVI-D adapter (part #26-616-01) or the Extron
HDMI M-DVI-D M series of male HDMI to male DVI cables (part #26-614-xx).
The input signal is one single link DVI-D with a resolution range up to 1920x1200 or
1080p @ 60 Hz.
Input EQ conditions input signals to ensure the integrity of the signals delivered to the
output devices.
NOTES: The actual signal transmission distance can vary and depends on the signal
resolution, cable quality, graphics card, and display used in the system.
To ensure proper operation, display devices connected to outputs 2 through 4
must be able to handle resolutions equal or greater than that of the local monitor
on output 1.
length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). If the exposed section is longer, the exposed
wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If it is shorter, the
wires can be easily pulled out, even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become
loose over time.
