Extender Series • Introduction 1

Introduction

This chapter covers the following topics:

• About this Guide — covers the scope of this guide and the terminology used in it

• About the Extender Series VGA Line Drivers— a description of the products, what

they do and how they differ

About this Guide

This guide contains information about the Extron Extender Series line drivers and on how

to operate and conﬁgure them. “Extender” and “line driver” are used to refer to all models

interchangeably when instructions apply to more than one model.

About the Extender Series VGA Line Drivers

The Extron Extender Series are one-input VGA-UXGA line drivers with audio. There are

seven models in the series:

• Extender AAP

• Extender AAP EX

• Extender WM

• Extender D

• Extender WM AAP

• Extender MK

• Extender AKM MAAP.

They boost the video signal between a laptop or desktop computer and a monitor or

projector. Each has a 300 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth.

Each line driver accepts one computer-video input and one stereo audio input. Each

Extender also features one buffered VGA-type RGB output and one stereo audio output.

With an optional Mac/VGA adapter, the Extender can also buffer signals from a Macintosh

computer.

Differences Between the Models

All Extender models are functionally identical but they have different mounting options.

For details about mounting the Extender AAP, Extender WM, Extender D,

Extender WM AAP, and the Extender MK, see Preparing the Site and Installing the Wall

Box starting on page4 in the installation section.

For Extender AAP EX mounting instructions, see the user guide or installation guide for the

appropriate model of Extron HSA Hideaway Surface Access enclosure.

For Extender AKM MAAP mounting instructions, see the Extender AKM MAAP Installation

Guide, available at http://www.extron.com.

Extender Series • Introduction 2

Features

Video signal boosting — The selectable gain and peaking settings boost video signals to

compensate for signal degradation caused by long cables. The Extender can send a high

resolution signal up to 250 feet (75 m) through Extron M59 Series mini high resolution cable.

Sync restoration — Each Extender restores low level sync voltages found on many laptop

PCs (as low as two volts) to normal TTL levels.

Audio buffering — Unbalanced stereo audio inputs can be output as balanced audio for

long cable runs.

Extender Series • Installation 3

Installation

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

• UL Guidelines

• Installation Instructions

• Preparing the Site and Installing the Wall Box

• Front Panel Features and Cabling

• Top, Rear, Bottom Panel Features

• Mounting

• Application Diagrams

ATTENTION: Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnelonly.

This product should be used with a UL listed electrical box (see “UL Guidelines,”

below).

UL Guidelines

1. The Extender must be installed in an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Listed junction

box. The UL approved electrical wall box (junction box) is not included with the unit; the

installer is responsible for obtaining and installing the box.

2. The unit must be installed with accordance with the National Electrical Code and with

local electrical codes.

Installation Instructions

Depending on the model, the Extenders can be mounted into furniture, a wall, an

Ackermann ﬂoorbox (see ackermann.co.uk), or an Extron HSA 400 Series or HSA 800

Series enclosure. Installation involves the following main steps:

1. Prepare the site, run cables, and install a wall box or ﬂoor box.

2. Cable rear panel connectors and set the gain switch.

3. Test the Extender.

4. Mount the Extender.

5. Attach input cables to the front panel.

For Extender AKM MAAP mounting instructions, see the AKM MAAP Installation Guide.

ATTENTION: The Extender must be installed in a UL listed wall box, which the installer

is responsible for obtaining.

For Extender AAP EX mounting instructions, see the user guide or installation guide for the

appropriate model of HSA Hideaway Surface Access enclosure.

NOTE: The Extender AAP EX does not require a wall box if it will be installed into an

Extron HSA 400 Series or HSA 800 Series surface access product. If you install an

ExtenderAAPEX without an HSA, you must use a wall box.

Extender Series • Installation 4

Preparing the Site and Installing the Wall Box

Considerations

Choose a location that allows cable runs without interference. Allow enough depth for both

the wall box and the cables. You may need to install the cables into the wall, furniture, or

conduits before installing the line driver.

• The Extender AAP or Extender AAP EX can be installed in an Extron two-gang, four-

gang, or half rack width AAP Architectural Adapter Plate or in the faceplate of another

Extron device that accepts AAP plates, such as an interface or distribution amplifier.

See the mounting instructions for the adapter plate or device.

• The Extender AAP EX is usually installed into an Extron HSA 400 Series or

HSA 800 Series surface access enclosure.

• The Extender WM can be installed in a standard or compact one-gang electrical wall

box. This is also true for the Extender D, though it requires a standard decorator-style

wallplate.

• The Extender WM AAP can be installed in a three-gang wall box, and its faceplate

accepts up to four single height Extron Architectural Adapter Plates (AAPs).

• The Extender MK can be mounted into a standard, shallow knockout switch box (also

known as a KO box or MK box) that is used in Singapore, the United Kingdom, and

Australia.

The installation must conform to national and local electrical codes and to the Extender’s

size requirements. Dimensional drawings and templates are provided in Dimensions

starting on page18.

Procedure

1. See the template that corresponds to the Extender model and wall box being used.

NOTE: The templates are not shown at full size. Pay attention to the

measurements shown on the templates.

2. Mark the guidelines for the opening on the wall or furniture.

• If the Extender will be installed in a wall box, place the box against the

installation surface and draw a line on it around the outside of the box.

• If the Extender will be installed without a wall box (using mud rings or

fastening it directly to the wall or furniture), measure and mark the surface for the

cutout area indicated in the template.

3. Cut out the material from the marked area.

4. Check the opening size by inserting the wall box or the Extender (if no box is used)

into the opening. The box and line driver should ﬁt easily into the opening. Adjust the

opening as needed.

5. Feed cables through the wall box punch-out holes and secure them with cable clamps

to provide strain relief.

Extender Series • Installation 5

6. Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources of short circuits. Trim back

and insulate shields with heat shrink.

CAUTION: To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut back to the

point where the cable exits the cable clamp. Both braided and foil shields should

be connected to an equipment ground at the other end of the cable.

, page10) — Connect a

12 VDC power supply to this 3.5 mm, 2-pole direct insertion

captive screw connector. Wire the connector as shown at right.

Polarity is not important.

ATTENTION: For best results and to reduce the risk of short circuits, trim just

3/16inch (5mm) of the jacket from the wires. Do not tin the wires.

To compensate for cable resistance and capacitance, use a small screwdriver to slide

this switch to select the level of video gain that yields the sharpest, smear-free picture.

• Normal — unity gain (no signal boost)

• Medium — mid-level peaking and gain

• Maximum — maximum amount of peaking and gain. Select this for use with longer

cables.

NOTE: Adjust the gain before installing the Extender into a wall, furniture, or

equipment, as the gain switch will be inaccessible after installation.
