Quick Start Guide
AutoPatch RGBHV (BNC) DAD Modules
Overview
RGBHV (BNC) DAD (Distribution Amplifier Driver) Modules have either one input and
four outputs for a 1:4 distribution or one input and six outputs for a 1:6 distribution of
RGBHV analog signals. The single RGBHV input is distributed to four or six outputs
over standard cable runs of up to 250 ft. (76.2 m) with no additional equipment
required. Each output can be independently adjusted for gain and peaking to ensure
the proper amount of compensation is provided for each cable run. This guide contains
complete information for this product.
Product Specifications
* Gain and peaking are independent switches that allow the user to turn on or off the
gain and peaking.
Installation
Mounting Options
Desktop – Attach the rubber feet (included) to the bottom of the module.
Rack Mounting
To rack mount a module:
1. Remove one screw from each side of the module as shown in FIG. 3. Do not
reuse screw for rack ear.
2. Attach rack ears as shown in FIG. 3 (screws provided).
3. Place the module in a standard EIA 19 in. (48.26 cm) rack and secure it to the
rack with screws.
Typical Setup
Attaching Cables
To attach connectors:
1. Fasten the BNC connectors from the source and destination devices onto the
BNC connectors on the module (FIG. 5).
2. Attach the power cord into the power receptacle on the module and into an
external AC power source.
3. Press the “I” side of the power switch.
4. Apply power to the source and destination devices.
Note: The power indicator LED is on the module’s front.

Front Panel DIP Switches
Each DIP switch pair controls the output gain and peak of the same-numbered
output signal. The default setting is both switches “Off” (down, FIG. 6), which
represents unity gain and no peaking. The gain and peak adjustments can
compensate for long cable runs. To increase brightness of a destination’s video, set
the gain DIP switch to “On”. To sharpen a destination’s video, set the peak DIP
switch to “On”.
To adjust DIP switches:
1. Using a small screwdriver or paper clip, flip the toggles on the DIP switches up.
See table below for settings.
Flip either or both switches “ON” depending on the length of the cable run.
