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.
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.
