Introduction

This guide describes the function, installation, and operation of the DA2HD4KPLUS,

DA4HD4KPLUS, and DA6HD4KPLUS distribution amplifiers. Unless otherwise stated,

the terms “distribution amplifier”, “DA” or “DA PLUS” refer to any of these distribution

amplifiers.

This section provides the following information:

About the DA2HD4KPLUS,DA4HD4KPLUS, and DA6HD4KPLUS

The Extron DAHD4KPLUS Series are one input, multiple output HDMI distribution

amplifiers for 4K signals. They distribute one 4K input signal to two (DA2HD4KPLUS), four

(DA4HD4KPLUS), or six (DA6HD4KPLUS) simultaneous outputs. They support data

rates up to 18.0Gbps, including computer and video resolutions up to 4096x2160@60Hz

and 1080p@60Hz 4:4:4 with Deep Color, 3D, Lip Sync, HDR (high dynamic range), and

HD lossless audio formats.

NOTE: Extron strongly recommends compatibility testing while designing, and before

installing any 3D or HDR system. There are several unique 3D and HDR formats in

use by source devices and display manufacturers. The level of 3D and HDR product

support is governed by pixel clock, signal format, and communication between

source and sink devices. Please contact an Extron Application Engineer for more

information.

All three models feature EDIDMinder, which maintains continuous EDID communication

between connected devices, and KeyMinder, which continuously authenticates HDCP

encryption between all devices, ensuring the simultaneous distribution of source content to

all displays.

The DAHD4KPLUSdistribution amplifiers provide automatic input cable equalization up to

15feet (4.5meters) for 4K @ 60 Hz signals, automatic color bit depth adjustment, and allow

outputs to be independently muted.

Front panel LEDs provide immediate confirmation of HDCP authentication and signal

presence.

DA HD 4K PLUS Series • Introduction 1

Features

• 4K signal distribution — Distributes 4K HDMI video and embedded multi‑channel

digital audio signals. These distribution amplifiers accept one 4K input through a female

HDMI type‑A connector and provide two (DA2HD4KPLUS), four (DA4HD4KPLUS),

or six (DA6HD4KPLUS) simultaneous outputs.

• Supports HDMI 2.0b specifications, including:

• Data rates up to 18.0Gbps

• Deep Color up to 12‑bit

• 3D

• Lip Sync

• HDR

• HD lossless audio formats

• Supports computer and video resolutions up to 4K, including 1080p@60Hz

Deep Color.

• EDIDMinder — Automatically manages EDID communication between connected

devices ensuring that the source powers up properly and reliably outputs content for

display.

• HDCP compliant — Ensures display of content‑protected media and interoperability

with other HDCP‑compliant devices. Supports HDCP2.3 and compatible with

non‑HDCP2.3 sources and sinks.

• KeyMinder continuously verifies HDCP compliance — KeyMinder authenticates

and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between all input and output devices to

enable simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to two, four, or six displays.

• User-selectable HDCP authorization — Allows the unit to appear HDCP compliant

or non‑HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source

automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP‑compliant device.

Protected material is not passed in non‑HDCP mode.

• HDCP Visual Confirmation — A full‑screen green signal is sent when

HDCP‑encrypted content is transmitted to a non‑HDCP compliant display, providing

immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.

• HDCP authentication and signal presence LED indicators — Front‑panel LED

indicators for signal presence and HDCP authentication provide real‑time feedback and

monitoring of key performance parameters.

• Automatic input cable equalization — Up to 100feet (30meters) for 720pat60Hz

with a 4.95Gbps signal and up to 15feet (4meters) for 4Kat60Hz with a 18.0Gbps

signal when used with Extron HDMI Pro Series cable. Actively conditions incoming

HDMI signals to compensate for signal loss when using long cables, low quality cables,

or source devices with poor signal output.

• Automatic color bit depth management — The DAHD4KPLUSSeries distribution

amplifiers automatically adjust color bit depth based on the display EDID, preventing

color compatibility conflicts between source and displays.

• HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction — Automatically reformats HDMI source

signals for output to a connected DVI display.

• Output muting via RS-232 or USB port — Provides the capability to mute one or

all outputs at any time. This allows content to be viewed on a local monitor prior to

appearing on the main presentation display.

• Easy setup and commissioning with the Extron Product Configuration Software

(PCS) — Conveniently configure multiple products using a single software application.
