This manual provides information on the Extron VersaTools®
MDA EQ series video distribution amplifiers and discusses how
to install and operate them.
The following diagrams give examples of how the various
supported devices can be connected to an MDA EQ series
product. (These diagrams show connections for the
MDA 2V EQ and the MDA 4SV EQ). Use them as guides for all
MDA EQ connections.
About the MDA EQ Series Mini Distribution
Amplifiers
LCD
Projector
The Extron MDA EQ series are compact composite video and
S-video mini distribution amplifiers with individual output gain
and equalization controls that compensate for different cable
lengths for each output. (Each adjustment on the MDA 4SV EQ
model equalizes two outputs.) The MDA EQ products are also
line drivers, able to handle 1000 feet of Extron Mini HR cable.

On the side mounting plates, the MDA is typically
mounted on the outside of the bracket.
On the front mounting plate, the device is typically
mounted on the inside of the bracket.
Secure the unit to a projector mount or other surface by
inserting the mounting bolt through the bracket’s slotted
hole.
3.
4.
Using the two included tie wraps, strap the power supply
to one of the brackets.
See the illustration on the previous page.
Place the contoured bracket base against the projector
ceiling pole and opposite the back plate. The pole should
fit snugly into the depression in the center of the
contoured base.
PMK 300 Projector Mounting Kit
The PMK 300 Multi-Product Projector Mounting Kit
(#70-374-01) mounts up to three quarter-rack width products to
a projector ceiling mount pole. The MDA EQ can be mounted
above the display device with the front panel facing either
down or up. The quarter rack width plate can also be used to
mount the MDA external desktop power supply.
N
The PMK 300 has a hole in the bottom plate that allows
the projector pole to be inserted through the center of the
plate, rather than outside of the plate (see the illustration
on the next page). To install the PMK 300 in this
configuration, slide the bracket up from the bottom of the
pole before the projector is installed on the pole.

Follow these steps to mount the MDA EQ on the PMK 350:
7.
Assemble the U-bolt and the following parts in the order
they are listed below:
1.
Remove the front panel from the PMK, using a #2 Philips
screwdriver. Retain the four screws to reattach the plate
when finished.
a.
Pass the legs of the U-bolt through the slotted holes
on the back of the mount plate flange.
b.
c.
Place the U-bolt legs around the ceiling pole.
2.
3.
Remove any rubber feet from the bottom of the MDA EQ.
Pass the U-bolt legs through the round holes in the
contoured base.
Secure the MDA to one side of the mounting bracket, using
two of the supplied 4-40 x 3/16" screws in opposite
(diagonal) corners. Use an Extron Tweeker (provided) or a
Philips #1 screwdriver to tighten the screws.
Place the contoured base against the pole and
opposite the mount plate flange. The pole
should fit snugly into the depression in the
center of the contoured base.
4.
5.
Using the two included tie wraps, strap the MDA EQ
power supply to the PMK bracket.
If desired, remove the back panel of the PMK 350 and
mount an additional MDA or other device(s) at the back of
the bracket, as described in step 3.
d.
Pass the U-bolt legs through the round holes in the
L bracket.
8.
Align the two round holes in the bottom of the L bracket
with the two slotted holes in the base of the PMK 350, on
either side of the opening for the pole; and attach the L
bracket to the base by inserting the two provided 6-32 x
5/16" screws through the aligned slots. Tighten the screws
slightly; you should still be able to slide the L bracket to
adjust it as needed.
6.
Place the PMK 350 mounting tray around the projector
ceiling mounting pole. (See the illustration on the next

Do not tin the stripped power supply leads before
installing the captive screw connector. Tinned
wires are not as secure in the captive screw
connectors and can be easily pulled out. They may
also break after being bent several times.

Toggle switch — Set this switch to HIGH Z if a monitor is
plugged into the Passive Loop Thru connector. Setting this
switch to 75 OHM simulates a monitor when none is attached to
the Loop Thru connector.
Output connectors (composite video) — Connect up to two
