Any changes or modifications to the unit not  
expressly approved by ALTINEX, Inc. could  
void the user’s authority to operate the  
equipment.  
Handle the DA2000TM carefully. Dropping or  
jarring can damage internal components.  
Never install the DA2000TM in the same  
enclosure with high voltage wires or their  
associated components, such as power  
sockets, dimmers or switches. Always use  
proper isolation techniques to ensure that the  
DA2000TM is never installed in an enclosure  
that has high voltages within it.  
1.3 CLEANING  
Clean surfaces with a dry cloth. Never use  
strong detergents or solvents, such as alcohol  
or thinner. Do not use a wet cloth or water to  
clean the unit.

ABOUT YOUR DA2000TM  
2
The DA2000TM is a computer video + stereo audio  
line driver designed for mounting under a table or  
to other surfaces in tight spots. Its extremely  
compact form promotes inconspicuous attachment,  
yet still allows for active components necessary to  
drive high-resolution computer signals a distance of  
up to 100 feet or more.

The DA2000TM accepts computer audio input and  
offers balanced stereo output through a terminal  
block connector on the back panel. There is a  
3.5mm jack for computer audio input, which may  
be returned to an amplifier. A 5-pin terminal block  
is available for stereo audio transmission to the  
main sound system. These connectors are easily  
adaptable to stereo mini or RCA type connectors.

The DA2000TM has a 2.5mm DC power jack for  
connection to a 9V 500mA power external  
adapter. The power regulation is provided inside  
the unit. A selection of several power adapters is  
available for different countries from 110 VAC to  
240 VAC.

4.2 VIDEO OUTPUT  
The DA2000TM offers a buffered video output  
through a 10-pin terminal block on the back of the  
unit. The DA2000TM Line Driver allows a  
connection to different types of projectors or  
monitors using ALTINEX cables.  
4.5 POWER/SIGNAL PRESENT INDICATOR  
The DA2000TM has an LED on the front panel,  
which provides feedback to the user. When power  
is connected to the DA2000TM, the LED will turn  
red. When a computer video source is connected  
to the DA2000TM, the LED will turn green,  
indicating that the unit is receiving a signal by  
sensing the presence of the sync portion of the  
signal.

INSTALLING YOUR DA2000TM  
6
The DA2000TM will operate successfully as long  
as all cables are attached properly and other  
technical specifications are followed.  
Step 1. Mount the DA2000TM to the underside of  
a table and apply 9VDC power to the unit.  
The LED should turn red, indicating power  
but no incoming video signal.  
Step 2. Connect an active video source to the  
front of the DA2000TM. The LED should  
turn green.  
If the DA2000TM is  
connected to a display, you should see an  
image.  
Step 3. Connect an active audio source to the  
front of the DA2000TM. If the DA2000TM  
is connected to an audio amplifier with  
speakers, you should hear sound.
