Introduction
The AC-FRESCO-DA116 is a part of the first true 18Gbps Distribution Amplifier Family. This is an
ideal product on all applications where stable distribution is key. This distribution amplifier
can be cascaded for extended distances and and additional outputs.
Full 18Gbps and HDR support ensures military grade stability even at the highest of
bandwidths. Install the distribution amplifier with confidence in your next bar, restaurant,
digital signage, commercial or residential install and see the difference.
Key benefits of using AC-FRESCO-DA116:
1) 18Gbps Support (4K60 4:4:4): This Distribution Amplifier offers the highest available
bandwidth to ensure maximum stability in distributed HDMI systems, even at higher
resolutions. With the added bandwidth you can comfortably use all of the latest 4K sources
without worrying about headroom. With these DA's you are already prepared for all 4K
formats and future 8K formats.
2) Cascading: The AC-FRESCO-DA116 was designed for cascading. There will be no trouble in
cascading this unit for several "hops". There is even a built in "cascade mode" that can be
enabled for plug and play compatibility.
3) Full HDR Support: One often overlooked feature to include is the ability to maintain the
integrity of HDR. We are 100% compatible with HDR and will repeat the signal in its full
integrity.
4) EDID Management: Advanced EDID management is on board so you can select from 16
different setting, including Cascade Mode, auto and "from display". All of this enhances your
ability to get the right signal throughout the system and ensures communication with any 3rd
party device. The AC-FRESCO-DA116 has dual rotary EDID controls for 144 EDID combinations.
5) Ultra Low-Profile Design: The minimalist design makes the device even more versatile.
Designed to fit in any nook or cranny, you don't need to worry about finding space for the DA
allowing you to focus on other elements of the job.
