VIDEO SCALERS

DVS 204

Four Input Digital Video Scaler

DVS 204D

DESCRIPTION

Extron DVS 204 scalers incorporate the latest in high performance and proprietary scaling technology with the input flexibility essential for today’s top- notch audio/video applications—including an optional Serial Digital Interface (SDI) input. With 36 selectable output rates, including a variety of HDTV rates, the DVS 204 is the perfect scaling solution for A/V environments such as boardrooms, conference rooms, and home theaters, as well as rental and staging applications. Models with 12V external power supplies are ideal for yachts, planes, or other environments using a 12V power source.

There are four models in the DVS 204 line—DVS 204, DVS 204D,

DVS 204 12V, and DVS 204D 12V. Each model supports the following video formats on one of four inputs: RGB pass-through, component, S-video, and composite video. Input 4 also accepts RGB computer-video as a pass-through signal. The “D” (digital) versions also support SDI signals. For all models, RGB or component video is output simultaneously on one female 15-pin HD connector and six female BNCs.

To enable superior scaling performance, the DVS 204 features several Extron proprietary technologies: Dynamic Motion Interpolation (DMI™), 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection (patent pending), True Rate, and patented Accu-RATE Frame Lock (AFL™). Key features include aspect ratio control to accommodate different movie formats, three aspect ratio presets per input, and vertical blanking adjustments.

The DVS 204 can be controlled using the front panel or through the RS-232 serial port. Each model can also be controlled remotely through the optional IR 901 remote. The front panel buttons control video input selection and picture adjustments. All functions are available through RS-232 using Extron’s user-friendly Simple Instruction Set (SIS™).

FEATURES

•Input and Pass-through connectors — Input one accepts composite video on one female BNC; input two accepts composite, S-video, or component on three females BNCs; input three accepts S-video on a 4-pin mini DIN; input four accepts an RGB computer-video pass-through or 15 kHz RGBS, or RGBcvS signals on a female 15-pin HD connector. The optional SDI card can be configured for any of the four inputs.

•3:2 (NTSC) and 2:2 (PAL) pulldown detection — Advanced film mode processing techniques help maximize image detail and sharpness for NTSC or PAL sources that originated from film (patent pending).

•True-Rate — Recovers the natural motion dynamics of material that originated from film.

•Dynamic Motion Interpolation (DMI) — DMI technology is an advanced motion detection and compensation method used to deliver the best aspects

of still and motion algorithms. This process results in a superior level of image enhancement capability with no loss of image fidelity.

•Accu-RATE Frame Lock (AFL) — A patented technology exclusive to Extron that solves frame rate conversion issues experienced by video scalers. When video input and output refresh rates differ, there are certain points in time when the two rates cross over each other. The result is a glitch or image freeze on the display. AFL solves this problem by locking the output frame rate to the input frame rate.

•Scaled output resolutions — The DVS 204 provides 36 user-selectablecomputer-video output rates, up to 1400 x 1050 and including 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 1080i.

•Aspect ratio conversion — Ability to horizontally and vertically size any video input to meet a specific aspect ratio. Three memory presets for aspect ratio are available for each input by pushing each input button repeatedly.

•Quad-standard video decoding compatibility — The DVS 204 uses a digital, four-line adaptive comb filter to decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM for integration in systems worldwide.

•SDI input card — An optional Serial Digital Interface (SDI) input is available.

•Picture controls — Brightness, contrast, color, tint, horizontal and vertical sizing, and horizontal and vertical centering are provided.

•Vertical blanking — Variable top and bottom vertical blanking eliminates edge noise caused by tapehead switching and captioning.

•Front panel security lockout — This feature locks out all front panel functions except for input selection; all functions, however, remain active through RS-232 control.

•RS-232 control — A rear panel, RS-232 control port provides connection of the DVS 204 to a third-party control system.

•Display compatibility — The DVS 204 scalers are compatible with display devices such as VGA/SVGA monitors, HDTV, LCD, DLP™, D-ILA®/LCoS, or plasma.

•Simple Instruction Set (SIS) — Extron SIS is a set of basic ASCII code commands that provides simple control through a third-party control system. Instead of programming in long, obscure strings of code, SIS makes it easy to operate an Extron product using RS-232 control.

•Rack-mountable— The DVS 204 is housed in a 1U, half rack width metal enclosure.

•Power supply — The DVS 204 is available in versions suitable for fixed or mobile applications. The DVS 204 and DVS 204 D are equipped with an internal, autoswitching power supply for worldwide compatibility. For marine and other mobile applications, a 12 VDC, 3A power supply is supplied with the DVS 204 12V and DVS 204 D 12V.
