ABOUT YOUR DA103-107/110 2

DA103-107/110

SIDEKICKER WITH 2 VIDEO

OUTPUTS

The DA103-107/110 provides a means of

transmitting computer or component video to two

different displays from a single computer.

The DA103-107/110 is compact and easy to use.

It offers a female 15-pin HD input and 2female

15-pin HD output connectors.

The Sidekicker is capable of being powered from

one of three different sources. The first uses the

+5V on pin 9 of the computer’s 15-pin HD video

connector (VESA standard). If the computer or

video cable does not provide power to the

DA103-107/110, then the second option obtains

power from the computer’s USB port if available.

The video cable provided with the DA103-107/110

has a USB connector on one end for use with this

option. If there is no USB port available, the third

option is to use the +9V adapter.

INSTALLING YOUR DA103-107/110 6

Step 1. Connect the input of the DA103-107/110

to the video output of the computer using

the cable provided. The Signal Present

LED should be on. The LED will be red if

there is power and green if a video signal

is present.

NOTE: The DA103-107/110 derives

power from the video output

connector of the computer. If the

computer does not supply power

at the video connector, it is

necessary to connect the USB

connector (from the video cable

provided)to an unused USB port

on the computer. If there is no

USB port available, proceed to

Step 2 and use the external

adapter.

Step 2. Skip this step if the LED is on.

Connect the DA103-107/110’s power jack

to an AC power adapter and plug the

adapter into a working outlet.

Step 3. If the power is on, the LED on the

DA103-107/110 should be on and red;

green if a signal is present.

Step 4. Connect VGA-type cablesfrom the

15-pin HD output connectors on the

DA103-107/110 to the display devices.

Step 5. The DA103-107/110 is now operational.

Verify the picture quality on the receiving

monitor is equivalent to the quality as

displayed on the local monitor.

OPERATION 7
