About the DVI DA Plus Series
These Digital Visual Interface (DVI) Distribution Ampliers
(DAs) accept one single link DVI-D input and distribute four
(DVI DA4 Plus), six (DVI DA6 Plus), or eight (DVI DA8 Plus)
single link DVI-D output signals.
All three models use Extron's EDID Minder feature to maintain
continuous EDID (Extended Display Identication Data)
communication with the attached source. This ensures that the
DVI source powers up correctly and maintains a proper video
output, even if the display is off.
The DVI DA4 Plus is 1U high and half a rack wide. The DVI
DA6 Plus and DVI DA8 Plus are both 1U high and a full rack
wide. All three models offer a variety of mounting options.
The illustration below shows a typical application of the
DVI DA8 Plus.
