VersaTools™ MDA 5V, 5SV,
5A RCA
The Extron MDA 5 Series of Mini Distribution Amplifiers (MDAs)
are a family of three video and audio distribution amplifiers. The
MDA are members of the Extron VersaTools™ line of basic
distribution amplifiers, switchers, and associated video
accessories.
The MDA 5V distributes buffered composite video, the MDA 5SV
distributes buffered S-video (luminance (Y) and chrominance
(C)), and the MDA 5A RCA distributes amplified stereo audio, on
RCA outputs.
The MDAs ship with external, desktop 12V power supplies,
which accept 100-240VAC input.
Installation
The MDA 5V, 5SV, and 5A RCA can be mounted on a rack shelf,
under a desk or tabletop, or on a projector bracket.
Rack mounting
For optional rack mounting, mount the MDA on a VersaTools 19"
1U Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-20) (figure 1) or a standard
Universal 1U Rack Shelf (Extron part #60-190-01) (figure 2). On
the standard rack shelf, the MDA mounts in one of four locations
to the rear of the rack or in one of four locations to the front of the
rack.
Figure 1 — Rack mounting the MDA 5V, 5SV, or 5A
RCA on the VersaTools shelf
1. If feet were previously installed on the bottom of the MDA,
remove them.
2. Mount the MDA on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16
screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the MDA to
the shelf.
3. Install blank panel(s) or other unit(s) to the rack shelf.
4. Insert the shelf into the rack, aligning the holes in the shelf
with those of the rack.
5. Secure the shelf to the rack using the supplied machine
screws. This shelf can be mounted in the front or in the rear
of the rack.
Only products in the VersaTools line can be mounted to a
VersaTools shelf. Any 1U rack-mountable Extron product
can be mounted on the standard shelf.
