ABOUT YOUR DA1506RT 2
DA1506RT
2-In, 6-Out Distribution Amplifier (DA)
The DA1506RT is a 2-In, 6-Out VGA through
UXGA distribution amplifier (DA). It is designed to
connect 1of 2computer 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. Therear 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.
Though primarily designed for use with displays
using 15-pin HD (VGA-type) connectors, the
DA1506RT can pass RGBHV, RGBS, and RGsB
format signals using adapter cables. The
DA1506RT is great for desktop use, but can also
be rack-mounted using optional ALTINEX
hardware.

INSTALLING YOUR DA1506RT 6
Step 1. Plug the power adapter into an AC
receptacle.
Step 2. Connect the power to the unit. The power
indicator LEDson the front and back
panelswill turn on and red. This indicates
that the unit is operational.
Step 3. Connect a VGA-type cable from a
computer to Input 2on the amplifier’s rear
panel. The LEDs will remain red, but the
images will be present on the output
connectors.
Step 4. Connect a VGA-type cable from another
PC or laptop to Input 1on 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.
Step 6. If the image is less than perfect, check all
of the connections. Poor quality cables
may often degrade the performance of the
product. Make sure that the cables used
are coaxial cables and that all pins are in
good condition.
OPERATION 7
There are no adjustments necessary to operate the
unit. The DA1506RT will operate successfully as
long as cables are attached properly and other
technical specifications are followed.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 8
We have carefully tested and found no problems in
the supplied DA1506RT; however, we would like to
offer suggestions for the following:
•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).
•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.
