The Extron P/2 DA1, also known as "The Peaker", is an extremely small, one input, one buffered output VGA line driver. The P/2 DA1 drives a high resolution computer-video signal up to 250 feet (75 meters) through high quality cable, such as Extron VGA cable. The P/2 DA1 provides amplification and peaking, allowing the video signal to be run long distances to produce a brighter and sharper image. This is especially useful with laptops, which often output a low power video signal.
The P/2 DA1 also restores the low level sync voltages found on many laptops to normal TTL levels. This sync restoration prepares the signals for long cable runs and offers enhanced compatibility with a wide range of computers, display devices, and cable types. The display's ID bits are passed through to the laptop.
The P/2 DA1 is housed in an adapter-sized enclosure, which allows for direct connection to a laptop.
