About the hDMI DA4 and hDMI DA6
These Extron distribution amplifiers distribute one HDMI input signal to four (HDMI DA4) or
six (HDMI DA6) simultaneous outputs. Both models are fully High‑bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP) compliant.
These distribution amplifiers support data rates up to 6.75 Gbps (2.25 Gbps per color) with up
to 12‑bit deep color and use the EDID Minder
® feature for EDID management.
The automatic output compatibility correction feature scans each output device to ensure that
the output signal is compatible with the color depth and format requirements of the device.
Each output is adjusted independently.
Features
HDMI signal distribution — These distribution amplifiers accept one HDMI input and provide
four (HDMI DA4) or six (HDMI DA6) simultaneous HDMI video and embedded multi‑channel
digital audio signal outputs. Supported HDMI specification features include data rates up to
6.75 Gbps, Deep Color up to 12‑bit, 3D, Lip Sync, and HD lossless audio formats.
Supports high-resolution video — including computer‑video to 1920x1200, iHDTV
1080p/60 and 2K.
HDCP compliant
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 multiple displays.
EDID Minder — This feature allows the user to choose from a list of 48 factory‑loaded EDID
files, to import EDID information from either of the display devices, or to import and save
an EDID file from a PC. EDID Minder has two modes of operation that can be selected and
configured using SIS commands:
z Automatic: EDID from the display connected to output 1 is read and stored at the input
automatically (default mode). Use SIS commands to read and store EDID from other
outputs.
z User assigned: EDID can be manually assigned from the internal factory EDID table,
which contains 48 unique EDID files categorized by native resolution and audio support.
Additionally, there are four user slots available to store and recall EDID from connected
displays.
