Technology, this distribution amplifier has simplified long distance distribution while giving the end points
undisturbed HD and UHD images.

Device Overview:
These devices are perfect for distributing any one/two sources to an unlimited amount of
displays. (One source at a time)
Think:
•Retail signal distribution – Big Box Stores & Local Retail for Advertising; School's & Office's
for Infoboards – 1000's of new accounts just opened up to you!
•Bars & Restaurants – a very simple way to “split” the signal to show in multiple locations.
•Digital Signage – low cost method for airports, rail, subway and more to distribute high
value 4K signals
•A word on Cascading – need more displays? Just connect an output to the next devices
input and keep stringing the displays together – now you have a 1 x 500 DA that can
switch two sources!

Troubleshooting
•Verify Power - The LCD screen on the front of the matrix should be lit up when power is
applied. Check that both power supplies are connected to the matrix and powered
•Verify Connections - Check that all cables are properly connected
•Issues with one INPUT/OUTPUT - Swap ports/cables/etc to help narrow down if the issue
stays with the input/output/etc
oFollows the device, then it may be an EDID issue. Default out of the box is a 1080p
2ch. Try another canned EDID or use the COPY FROM OUTx command to copy the
connected displays EDID - Pg. 7, 8, 11, and 21
•Issues with 4k but 1080p or less is working
oVerify all connected devices are capable of the signal you are sending
