DA412GHD-SDI • Setup Guide
Overview
The DA412GHD-SDI is a one input, four output distribution amplier for multi-rate SDI. The DA distributes an SDI video
signal with embedded audio, closed caption, and time code to up to four simultaneous outputs. It is capable of handling rates
from 270Mbps to 11.88Gbps data rate. The DA also features automatic cable equalization and output signal re-clocking to
compensate for signal degradation in long cable runs.
This guide provides quick start instructions for an experienced installer to setup and operate the DA412GHD-SDI distribution
amplier. For complete instructions, see the DA412GHD-SDI User Guide at www.extron.com.

Installation
1. Mount the DA412GHD-SDI in a suitable location.
The unit can be placed on a table top or, with the appropriate kit, mounted on a rack, or mounted under or through furniture.
Follow the instructions provided with the kit.
2. Connect the source device to the SDI input of the distribution amplier. The DA412GHD-SDI will equalize the input signal
and output the buffered and reclocked data rate the following distances:
• Up to 70meters (230feet) at 11.88Gbps
• Up to 90meters (295feet) at 5.94Gbps
• Up to 180meters ( 590feet) at 2.970Gbps
• Up to 240meters (787feet) at 1.485Gbps
• Up to 300meters (984feet) at 270Mbps
3. Connect up to four display devices to the BNC outputs of the distribution amplier.
4. Connect a power supply to the 2-pole captive screw inlet.
After all devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, verify that the cables are routed
and connected properly. If your problems persist, call the Extron Sales & Technical Support Hotline closest to you, available at
www.extron.com.
CAUTION: The wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.
ATTENTION : Les deux cordons d’alimentation doivent être maintenus séparés lorsque la source d’alimentation est
branchée. Coupez l’alimentation avant d’effectuer un raccordement.
ATTENTION:
• Always use a power supply supplied and or specied by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all
regulatory compliance certication and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.
• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie ou recommandée par Extron. L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation
non autorisée annule toute conformité réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que le produit
nal.
• If not provided with a power supply, this product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed power source marked “Class
2” or “LPS” and rated output 12Vdc, minimum 1.0 A minimum.
• Si le produit n’est pas fourni avec une source d’alimentation, il doit être alimenté par une source d’alimentation certiée
UL de classe 2 ou LPS, avec une tension nominale 12 Vcc, 1 A minimum.
• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently xed to
building structure or similar structure.
• Cette installation doit toujours être conforme aux dispositions applicables du Code américain de l’électricité (National
Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725, et du Code canadien de l’électricité, partie 1, section 16. La source
d’alimentation ne devra pas être xée de façon permanente à la structure de bâtiment ou à d’autres structures similaires.
• Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the unit. The ridges
on the side of the cord identify the power cord negative lead. To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power
supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.
• La polarité de la source d’alimentation est primordiale. Une polarité incorrecte pourrait endommager la source
d’alimentation et l’unité. Les stries sur le côté du cordon permettent de repérer le pôle négatif du cordon d’alimentation.
Pour vérier la polarité avant la connexion, brancher l’alimentation hors charge et mesurer sa sortie avec un voltmètre.
• The length of the exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together.
Shorter wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.
• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de les dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5mm
(3/16inches). S’ils sont trop longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court-circuit. S’ils sont trop
courts, ils peuvent être tirés facilement, même s’ils sont correctement serrés par les borniers à vis.
• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities.
• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs CA/CC ne conviennent pas à une utilisation dans les espaces d’aération ou
dans les cavités murales.
• Remote power is intended for indoors use only. No part of a network that uses remote power can be routed outdoors.
• L’alimentation à distance est exclusivement réservée à un usage en intérieur. Un réseau utilisant une alimentation à
distance ne peut pas être routé en extérieur.
NOTE: Transmission distances will vary
depending on the signal resolution, type
of cable, source, and display used in the
system.
