Installation and Operation, cont’d Start auto image Auto imaging allows you to “auto size” and “auto center” the selected image to fill the screen. The processor measures the sync frequencies of an incoming video source 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 DVS 304, the processor measures and estimates the resolution of the incoming video.
N Only inputs 2 and 4 offer selectable video types. From the Input Configuration menu, pressing the Next key successively displays submenus with the input video types for Inputs 2 and 4. The SDI input (where applicable) can be assigned to any input from the Input Configuration menu. Input 1 video type Input 1 can only input composite video, no other video types are selectable for this input.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 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 zooming (see figure 2-12). The pan feature is only available when zoom is over 100%. Color, tint and pan controls are available to applicable signals only.
Resolution 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 is 1024 x 768 @ 60Hz.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Audio configuration (DVS 304 A and DVS 304 AD 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 NEXT IN1 LEVEL 0dB NEXT (audio models only) Input level Adjust the input gain/attenuation from -15dB to +9dB of the selected input. Figure 2-14 — Audio configuration menu Volume control is available through SIS commands or IR remote control.
Clear (CLR) memory preset From this submenu, up to three saved presets for the currently selected input can be cleared from memory. Using either the Adjust horizontal ([) or Adjust vertical ({) knob, select (< >) either N/A, 1, 2, or 3 to select a preset. The default is . 1. 2. To clear the preset, press the Next button. N Clearing a preset by pressing the Next button will also cause a return to the Memory Preset menu. To exit the Clear memory preset function without clearing a preset, press Menu.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Advanced configuration The following flowchart provides an overview of the Advanced Configuration submenus and the options for each setting. IP CONFIG MENU ADVANCED CONFIG NEXT AUTO IMAGE ON BLUE MODE ON NEXT Auto imaging When auto image is on, the unit automatically sizes and centers each new input. NEXT AUTO MEMORY ON NEXT Auto Memory When set to on, the unit automatically saves the input and picture control settings for inputs 2 and 4.
RGB Delay The RGB delay feature applies a brief delay before displaying a new picture to a screen and allows the display device to adjust to the new sync timing. This feature provides “no-glitch” switching. The blanking period can be set from 0 to 5 seconds in 0.5 second steps. 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.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 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, RGB scaled) video. If these conditions are not met (i.e., two low resolution video inputs or two high resolution inputs are selected), the PIP mode will quit.
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 or AD), you can allow audio to follow the main (default) or PIP window.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Resetting the Unit There are four reset modes (numbered 1, 3, 4, and 5) that are available by pressing the Reset button on the rear panel. The Reset button is recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or Extron Tweeker to access it. See the following table for a summary of the reset modes. Reset Mode Comparison/Summary Mode Activation Result Purpose/Notes 1 Hold down the recessed Reset button while applying power to the unit.
Front Panel Lockout (Executive mode) 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. Executive mode locks all front panel functions except input switching and preset recall. The menu system returns to the default menu within 10 seconds. The DVS 304’s front panel is affected by executive mode, but the IR 902 remote is not.
Installation and Operation, cont’d IR 902 Infrared Remote Control The IR 902, shown at right, replicates most of the front panel controls except the Menu and Next buttons. See chapter 3, “Serial Communication”, for details. The topmost part of the IR 902 features memory preset buttons, input switching, picture-in-picture (PIP), volume, and four input selection buttons (1, 2, 3, 4).
Setting up the DVS to work with a Matrix switcher The Sync to Matrix tool is a powerful tool which 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.

On the DVS 304, configure the input as follows: a). Switch to input 4 on the DVS. b).
f). Click Take button to tie the DVS 304’s input to the selected switcher output. The program will create a custom script that will 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 output selected. Using the DVS and matrix switcher after the DVS is synchronized to the matrix switcher.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Removing the Sync to Matrix Script If the Sync to Matrix feature is no longer being used, the script can be removed from the DVS by the following steps: 1. Open the Signal Enhancements Windows Control program and connect to the DVS via IP (not RS-232). 2. Under the Tools menu, select Sync DVS 304 to Matrix Switcher... . The Sync DVS 304 to Matrix Switcher window opens. 3. Click Remove Script.
DVS 304 3 Chapter Three Serial Communication SIS™ Programmer’s Guide Control Software for Windows®
Serial Communication The DVS 304 can be remotely 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. The control device (host) can use either Extron’s Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands or the graphical control program for Windows. The scaler uses a protocol of 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.

DVS 304 4 Chapter Four Ethernet Control Accessing and Using the Web Server Navigating the Default Web Pages
Ethernet Control The DVS 304 features an on-board Web server, displayed as a set of default Web pages. These pages allow you to control and operate the DVS 304 unit through its Ethernet port, connected via a LAN or WAN, using a Web browser such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher), or Netscape Navigator (version 6.0 or higher). This chapter describes these default Web pages, which are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten.
The scaler checks several possibilities, in the following order, and then responds accordingly: a. 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. b. 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. c. If neither of the above conditions is true, the scaler downloads the factory-installed default start-up page, “nortxe_index.
Ethernet Control, cont’d 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 (figure 4-3) consists of fields where you can view and edit IP administration and system settings. Date and time information can be easily updated.
The default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conflicts with other equipment at your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid value. N Editing the Extron IP address while connected via the Ethernet port can immediately disconnect the user from the scaler. Extron recommends editing this field using the RS-232 link and protecting the Ethernet access to this screen by assigning an administrator’s password to qualified and knowledgeable personnel only. Edit this field as follows: 1.
Ethernet Control, cont’d Scaler Settings page The Scaler Settings page (figure 4-4) simulates elements of the DVS 304 menu system, but also allows you to set video input signals (for inputs 2 and 4 only), define output resolutions, and remotely define advanced configurations. Note that resolutions in the Resolution drop-down menu are linked to refresh rates as shown in the “Available Scaler Output Resolutions and Rates” table in chapter 2, Installation and Operation.
Passwords 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 (*****). N The following characters are invalid in passwords: {space} + ~ @ = ‘ [ ] { } < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.
Ethernet Control, cont’d Firmware upgrade page The Firmware Upgrade page (figure 4-6) provides a way to replace the firmware that is coded on the scaler’s control board without taking the scaler out of service, opening the scaler enclosure, and replacing the firmware chip. Figure 4-6 — Firmware Upgrade page N 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.
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 FrontPage or 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 (figure 4-7) is displayed.
Ethernet Control, cont’d 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 (figure 4-8) 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).
Presets page The Presets page (located under the Control tab, figure 4-9), provides access to memory and input presets, and works in conjunction with the User Control page.

Reference Material, cont’d 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. N 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.
W 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.
