The DA1506RT is a 2-In, 6-Out VGA through
UXGA distribution amplifier (DA). It is designed to
connect 1 of 2 computer video sources to as many
as 6 monitors, displays, and projectors.
The rear panel of the DA1506RT has 1 computer
input and 6 outputs, while the front panel has a
single input. If both the front and rear inputs have
valid video signals, the image from the front panel
will be displayed on the 6 outputs. The rear input
can be permanently connected for normal operation
and the front panel input can be saved for special
applications. For example, a desktop PC is
permanently connected to the rear panel along with
the display devices. The image from a second
source, like a laptop, may be connected to the front
panel and temporarily override the desktop’s
image. The DA1506DT will automatically switch to
the front panel’s image.

Step 1. Plug the power adapter into an AC
We have carefully tested and found no problems in
the supplied DA1506RT; however, we would like to
offer suggestions for the following:
receptacle.
Step 2. Connect the power to the unit. The power
indicator LEDs on the front and back
panels will turn on and red. This indicates
that the unit is operational.
·
·
·
Please make sure that the input amplitude of
analog signal is less than 1.5 Vp-p.
Please use the ALTINEX-supplied external
adapter (9V, 500mA).
Step 3. Connect a VGA-type cable from a
computer to Input 2 on the amplifier’s rear
panel. The LEDs will remain red, but the
images will be present on the output
connectors.
Please make sure that proper quality of cables is
used. We recommend ALTINEX-made cables
for best results.
·
If a problem arises after continuous usage at
higher voltage, higher temperature, higher
humidity, or at other extreme environmental
conditions, please make the necessary
adjustments for the DA1506RT to function safely
and properly.
Step 4. Connect a VGA-type cable from another
PC or laptop to Input 1 on the amplifier’s
front panel. If there is a signal present on
Input 1, then the LEDs will turn green
indicating that Input 1’s image is the
image present on the output connectors.
Step 5. Connect the output connectors of the
amplifier to your display devices:
monitors, projectors, LCDs, etc.
