Installation
-
Mount the DA2 HD 4K in a suitable location (see www.extron.com for mounting options). Follow the instructions
provided with the mounting kit. -
If required, connect a control PC to the USB Config port (Front Panel B on the previous page) or RS-232 connector (Rear Panel D on the previous page). To connect the rear panel RS-232 connector to a PC, ensure that the PC transmit connects to the RS-232 receive and the PC receive connects to the RS-232 transmit (see the diagram below).
NOTE: Use SIS commands to configure EDID Minder® , mute the video signal, mute the audio signal, adjust the video color bit depth, or monitor the signal and HDCP status. See the “SIS Commands” section of the DA HD 4K Series User Guide. -
Connect the display devices to the rear panel HDMI outputs and power them on. Connect the primary display to output 1. EDID from output 1 is stored automatically.
NOTE: Use the LockIt ® HDMI cable lacing brackets provided to secure the HDMI connectors.
Follow these instructions to secure the input and output HDMI connectors to the unit with the LockIt HDMI lacing bracket provided: a. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection ( 1 ).
b. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow
the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it ( 2 ). The screw does not have to be removed.
c. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector, then tighten the screw to secure the bracket ( 3 ). ATTENTION:
• Do not overtighten the HDMI connection mounting screw. The shield it fastens to is very thin and can easily be stripped.
d. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing bracket as shown ( 4 ).
e. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length. -
Connect the provided 12 VDC power supply to the 2-pole captive screw connector. ATTENTION:
• Do not connect the power supply before reading the Attention in the Power Supply section of the DA Series HD 4K User Guide. -
Connect and power on the source device.
