Extron DVI DA6 Plus (part number 60-932-01) — a one input, six output DVI distribution amplifier with EDID Minder, in a 1U full-rack metal enclosure with mounting brackets included.

Six DVI displays from one source is where handshaking problems multiply, because every sink wants a say in what the source outputs. EDID Minder removes that argument: the amplifier presents a stable EDID to the source and keeps it presented, so the source powers up correctly and holds its timing whatever happens downstream. The input side is equalized for roughly 100 feet of Extron DVI Pro cable at 1920x1200 with 8-bit colour, and the signal is retimed and reshaped before distribution so jitter accumulated on the way in does not reach the displays. Every output supplies +5 VDC at 250 mA for in-line equalizers or similar peripherals.

Key Capabilities

• Six single link DVI-D outputs on female DVI-I connectors from one female DVI-I input.
• 4.95 Gbps maximum data rate at 1.65 Gbps per colour with a 165 MHz pixel clock.
• Computer video to 1920x1200 plus HDTV 1080p/60 and 2K.
• Automatic input equalization and full signal regeneration on every output.
• +5 VDC at 250 mA per output for peripheral powering.
• External 12 VDC 2 A 24 W supply, universal 100-240 VAC input; rack brackets included.

Where It Is Used

Control room operator walls, security and surveillance monitoring, medical imaging departments driving multiple diagnostic displays, simulation suites, and broadcast or production machine rooms where DVI infrastructure remains in service and one feed must reach six screens.
