Extender AKM MAAP	Fits OBO Betterman Floor Box – GB2/3	60-727-02	Retired

This product has been retired.

The Extron Extender AKM MAAP is a one input, one buffered output line driver for sending high resolution VGA-QXGA video and audio signals up to 250 feet (75 meters) through high quality cable, such as the Extron MHR-5 Mini High Resolution Cable. The Extender AKM MAAP is designed to install in OBO Bettermann – formerly Ackermann - floor boxes that accept GB2 or GB3 inserts. The Extender AKM MAAP features space for mounting three single space MAAP - Mini Architectural Adapter Plates.

The Extender AKM MAAP provides video amplification and peaking to compensate for the voltage losses and high frequency attenuation that normally occur in long cable runs. A three position dipswitch lets the installer select the appropriate signal boost for various cable lengths, providing a more detailed image with greater contrast.

The Extender AKM MAAP 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.

Active audio buffering allows unbalanced PC audio to be converted to balanced line level stereo audio, eliminating noise usually associated with unbalanced audio when distributed over long cable runs.

For simple and versatile connections, video output is on five female BNCs on a three-inch (8 cm) pigtail, while audio signals are output on a captive screw connector. A 100-240VAC external power supply is included.

Inputs: Video on female 15-pin HD and audio on 3.5 mm mini stereo jack
