Introduction This manual contains information about the Extron® DVS 304 Series of scalers with instructions for experienced installers on how to install, configure, and operate the equipment. In this manual the terms “DVS,” “digital video scaler,” and “scaler” are used interchangeably and refer to any DVS 304 Series model.
DVS 304 DVI Models The DVS 304 DVI offers simultaneous digital and analog scaled outputs through the DVI-I port. Simultaneous analog scaled output is also available on BNC connectors. A total of 70 output scan rates are available from VGA (640x480) to WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution, as well as HDTV at 720p, 1080i, and 1080p/60 Hz.
Buffered video outputs — • DVS 304 models – Five rear-panel BNC connectors and one VGA-type 15-pin HD connector provide connections for RGB or Y, R-Y, B-Y output. Both outputs are active at all times for simultaneous output. • DVS 304 DVI models – Five rear-panel BNC connectors and one DVI-I connector provide analog and digital output (DVI-I) and analog output (BNC). All outputs are active at all times for simultaneous output of RGB or Y, R-Y, B-Y. DVI-D output is disabled for RGB pass-though.
Options and Accessories The DVS 304 series optional equipment includes: • IR 902 remote control — The Extron IR 902 (part #70-495-01) is an infrared remote control that replicates most of the front panel controls of the digital video scaler (except the Menu and Next buttons). • SDI input card — Serial digital interface (SDI) input can be added to a DVS 304 model by the installation of an SDI input card (part #70-168-01).

The default protocol is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
Operation This section of the manual discusses the operation of a DVS 304 device, and is divided into four sections: • Front Panel Overview • Menus, Configuration, and Adjustments • Front Panel Lockout • Setting up the DVS to Work with a Matrix Switcher Front Panel Overview DVS 304 1 2 3 4 MENU VIDEO AND RGB SCALER ADJUST NEXT IR 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Figure 8. Typical DVS 304 Device Front Panel Features a Input LEDs — The LED of the selected input lights when pressed.
Menus, Configuration, and Adjustments Scaler configuration and adjustments can be performed by using the embedded Web pages and the Windows-based control program (see the “SIS Communication and Control” chapter for details) or by using the front panel controls and the menus displayed on the DVS unit’s LCD screen. These menus are used primarily when the scaler is first set up.
Displays specific model name (for example DVS 304 DVI AD) Power on EXTRON ELECTRONICS 2 sec. DVS 304 xxx xx Default Cycle Displays specific model part number (for example 60-1027-04) 2 sec. 60-xxxx-0x FW version 1.00 2 sec. 2 sec. INPUT 1 COMPOSITE 2 sec.
Start Auto Image Auto image an input to “auto size” and “auto center” the image to fill the screen. The processor measures the sync frequencies from incoming video sources and uses an internal table to set the active image area, total image area, and the sampling frequency. If an unknown input is connected to the unit, the processor measures and estimates the resolution of the incoming video. The DVS 304 can be set to automatically auto-image newly detected inputs (see page 21). Default Cycle 2 sec.
Input 1 video type Input 1 can only input composite video, other video types are not selectable. Input 2 video type Rotate either the Adjust horizontal ([) or Adjust vertical ({) knob while in the Input 2 submenu to select the appropriate video format (composite, S-video, YUVi, YUVp/HDTV, YUV Auto) for input 2. When input 2 is set to YUV Auto, the scaler detects if YUVi or YUVp/HDTV is applied and sets the input accordingly. The default is YUVi video.
Picture Control The Picture Control menu includes all of the picture settings for the scaler including positioning, sizing (horizontal and vertical control), brightness and contrast, color saturation, tint, detail (sharpness of the picture), and zoom (see figure 14). The pan feature is only available when zoom is over 100%. Color, tint and pan controls are available for applicable signals only. INPUT CONFIG Tint adjustment is applicable only for NTSC composite or S-Video inputs.
Resolutions and Refresh Rates Rotate the Adjust horizontal ([) knob while in this submenu to select one of the available combinations of output resolutions and refresh (vertical scanning) rates. Rotate the Adjust vertical ({) knob while in this submenu to select one of the available refresh rates. The default resolution and rate for the DVS 304 series is 1024x768 @ 60Hz.
Audio Configuration (Audio Models Only) Audio Configuration allows the input level to be adjusted between –15 dB to +9 dB for each audio input. OUTPUT CONFIG MENU AUDIO CONFIG IN1 LEVEL 0dB NEXT NEXT (audio models only) Input level Adjust the input gain/attenuation from -15dB to +9dB of the selected input. Figure 16. Audio Configuration Menu Overall volume control is available through SIS commands or IR remote control.
Save Memory Preset From this submenu, the picture control information for the currently selected input can be saved to memory. Up to three memory presets can be saved per input. 1. Using either the Adjust horizontal ([) or Adjust vertical ({) knob, select either N/A, 1, 2, or 3 to select a preset. The default is . 2. To save the preset, press the Next button. NOTE: The presets are saved in nonvolatile memory, so powering down the DVS 304 will not lose the presets.
IP Configuration The IP Configuration menu displays the IP address of the unit, the Subnet mask, and Gateway IP address. MEMORY PRESETS MENU IP CONFIG I 196.168 P 254.254 NEXT S 255.255 M 000.000 NEXT View IP address of the unit. G 000.000 M 000.000 NEXT NEXT View gateway IP address of the unit. View the subnet mask of the unit. Figure 19. IP Configuration Menu To change an IP address, do the following: 1. Press and hold the Input 4 and Next buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds.
Auto-Image™ When enabled and a new input frequency is detected, the DVS first applies an existing Auto Memory for the signal (if Auto Memory is enabled), or if no entry exists, performs an automatic Auto-Image on the new signal. With Auto Image disabled, the DVS 304 will apply default values to a new input if no Auto Memory exists (if Auto Memory is enabled). Default is Off. See the table on page 21 for a full description of the interaction between the Auto-Image and Auto Memory settings.
OSD label Use the On-Screen Display (OSD) label menu to determine the time allotment for an input label or a user defined OSD label. Input labels are generic labels shown for inputs 1, 2 and 3. For input 4, the user can create a custom OSD label to display. The OSD labels are displayed (white box, black text) in the top left corner. The OSD label can be turned off by setting its duration to Off from the Advanced Configuration menu. For OSD text, note the following: • Line 1 displays the input number.
Auto Memory The DVS 304 stores 16 auto memories with input and picture control data for each input. The default settings enables these memories to automatically recall input and picture controls for signals that have been previously applied. By disabling auto memories, the DVS 304 will treat every newly applied input as a new source. Default is on.
Picture-in-picture mode The DVS 304 can display two image sources on the screen simultaneously. Keep in mind that when using the PIP feature, one image source must be low-resolution (composite, S-video, YUVi and RGBcvS) video, while the other must be high resolution (YUVp/HDTV, RGB scaled, SDI) video. If these conditions are not met (for example, two low resolution video inputs or two high resolution inputs are selected), the PIP mode will exit. To go into picture-in-picture mode, do the following: 1.
Using the swap feature Use the swap feature to switch the active main window input with the current PIP input. For example if the main window is Input 4 (RGB scaled) and the PIP window is Input 1 (composite), applying the swap command results in Input 1 becoming the main window and Input 4 the PIP window. For audio models (DVS 304 A, DVS 304 AD, DVS 304 DVI A, and DVS 304 DVI AD), you can set audio to follow the main (default) or PIP window.
Resetting the Unit There are four unit reset modes (numbered 1, 3, 4, and 5), These are available by pressing the recessed Reset button on the rear panel with a pointed stylus, pen, or similar to access it. See the following table for a summary of the reset modes. CAUTION: Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result in unintended loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or processor reboot.
System Reset For a scaler reset, the DVS 304 can return to default values by holding down the Input 1 button while simultaneously plugging in the power cord. The System Reset message will be displayed on the LCD screen. Front Panel Lockout (Executive Modes) To prevent accidental changes to settings, press the Menu and Next buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds to enable the DVS 304’s front panel lockout mode, also known as executive mode 1.
Setting up the DVS to Work with a Matrix Switcher The Sync to Matrix tool is a powerful tool that can simplify the control system necessary when using an Extron matrix switcher and a DVS 304. The Sync to Matrix script can sense when a new tie is made on the matrix is routed to the DVS and automatically recalls the input preset associated with the input on the matrix switcher. The input preset recalls all the settings for the input including the signal format, input sampling settings, and picture controls.
3. On the DVS 304, configure the input as follows: a. Switch to input 4 on the DVS. b. Set the following input sampling settings as desired: signal type, horizontal and vertical start, pixel phase, total pixels, active pixels, and active lines. NOTE: Do not use auto detect setting for the input type when using input presets. It is also recommended to disable auto image and auto memory when using input presets. c.
f. Click the Take button to tie the DVS 304’s input to the selected switcher output. The program creates a custom script that is then be loaded onto the DVS 304. The Status box updates with the status of the script on the DVS 304, showing if the DVS 304’s script is connected to the matrix switcher, and showing the current tie associated with the selected output.
Minimizing Synchronization Problems Without Using the Sync to Matrix Feature This section describes how to manually implement the equivalent of the Sync to Matrix feature without using a script loaded on the DVS 304, and instead relying on a control system.
SIS Communication and Control The DVS 304 can configured and controlled via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS-232 connector or the LAN port. Control is made using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) of commands, or by using the Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP), or the devices internal HTML Web pages. This section describes SIS communication and control.

7. Click OK. The scaler checks several possibilities, in the following order, and then responds accordingly: • Does the address include a specific file name, such as 10.13.156.10/file_ name.html? If so, the DVS 304 downloads that HTML page. • Is there a file in the scaler’s memory that is named “index.html”? If so, the scaler downloads “index.html” as the default start-up page. • If neither of the above conditions is true, the scaler downloads the factory-installed default start-up page, “nortxe_index.
Configuration The Configuration tab includes pages that show the current system settings, scaler settings, passwords and firmware upgrade data for the DVS 304 Series. System Settings page The Systems Settings page consists of fields where you can view and edit IP administration and system settings. Date and time information can be easily updated. Figure 41. System Settings Page IP settings fields The IP settings fields provide a location for viewing and editing settings unique to the Ethernet interface.
IP Address The DVS 304 IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected scaler. This value is encoded in the flash memory in the scaler. Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields separated by dots (periods). Each field can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to 3 digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid. The default address is 192.168.254.
4. If appropriate, select the Daylight Saving radio button for the DVS’s region, to turn on the daylight saving time feature. NOTE: When a locations daylight savings time is turned on, the switcher automatically updates its internal clock between Standard Time and Daylight Savings Time in the spring and fall on the date that the time change occurs in the country or region selected. When Daylight Savings Time is turned off, the switcher does not adjust its time reference.. 5.
Passwords Page The fields on the Passwords page are for entering and verifying administrator and user passwords. Passwords are case sensitive and are limited to 12 upper case and lower case alphanumeric characters. Each password must be entered twice: once in the Password field and then again in the Re-enter Password field. Characters in these fields are masked by asterisks (*****). If you do not want to password protect an access level, leave the Password field and the Re-Enter password field blank.
Firmware Upgrade page The Firmware Upgrade page provides a way to replace the firmware that is coded on the scaler’s control board without taking the scaler out of service. Figure 44. Firmware Upgrade Page NOTE: The Firmware Upgrade page is only for replacing the firmware that controls all scaler operation. To insert your own HTML pages, see “File Management” later in this chapter. Ensure that your PC is connected to the DVS 304 scaler via the scaler’s Ethernet port.
File Management The File Management page (located under the File Management tab), is a useful tool that allows you to use and upload existing and custom Web pages. Custom pages can be developed using a third-party Web page development program such as Microsoft Office FrontPage or Adobe® Dreamweaver®. File management also allows you to remove unnecessary or outdated files when they are no longer needed. To add or update files: 1. Select the File Management tab and the File Management screen is displayed.
Control The Control tab provides online access to DVS 304 unique features such as remote control of the front panel, memory and input presets, and picture-in-picture (PIP) setup. User Control page The User Control page simulates elements of the DVS 304 front panel, but also includes other features such as picture control, mute and freeze options, auto image, film mode, aspect ratio, and front panel lockout (executive mode). Figure 46.
Presets page The Presets page (located under the Control tab), provides access to memory and input presets, and works in conjunction with the User Control page. Figure 47. Presets Page Memory presets To create a memory preset, do the following: 1. Click the User Control link on the left side of the page. The User Control page appears (figure 46). 2. Click the button for the input (inputs 1, 2, or 3) you would like to preset. 3.

Serial Digital Interface (SDI) Card Installation The optional SDI card may be installed in the scaler if it does not already have an input for a serial digital interface signal. We recommend that you send the unit in to Extron for service and updates. NOTE: Changes to electronic components must be performed by authorized service personnel only. Follow these steps to install an SDI card in the DVS 304. 1. Disconnect the AC power cord from the DVS 304 to remove power from the unit.
WARNING: Do not touch any switches or other electronic components inside the scaler. Doing so could damage the scaler. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage IC chips even though you cannot feel it. You must be electrically grounded before proceeding with any electronic component replacement. A grounding wrist strap is recommended.. 4. Locate the SDI card standoff located near the middle rear portion of the main circuit board (looking from above with the front panel nearest to you) 5.
