Extron DA6 RGBHV Distribution Amplifier

Extron DA6 RGBHV – Six Output Wideband RGBHV Distribution Amplifier

The Extron DA6 RGBHV is a six output, rack-mountable, analog distribution amplifier. It accepts and distributes RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video, S-video, and composite video on female BNC connectors. In addition, the DA6 RGBHV provides DIP switches for adjusting RGB gain and peaking, as well as for selecting AC or DC coupling. A 9-pin contact closure connector allows for output muting controls when used with a control system.
With 350 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth, fully loaded, the DA6 RGBHV is perfect for maintaining signal integrity over long cable runs. It includes an internal international power supply and is housed in a 1U, full rack width metal enclosure for mounting convenience.
