About the Scaler

Extron’s DVS 150 digital video scaler allows analog video signals (composite video, S-video, and component video) to be displayed on a device with a fixed resolution and aspect ratio, such as an LCD (liquid crystal display) projector, DLP (digital light processing) projector, or plasma display.

The DVS 150 includes a 15-pin HD RGB pass-through connector for RGB input. Video signals coming into the scaler from this connector are not scaled. Instead, they are passed directly to the outputs.

Features

•Autosave — Automatically stores adjustments and uses the control settings associated with the selected input.

•Autoswitch mode — Automatically selects the active input device. If more than one input device is on, the device with the highest video quality is selected.

•Blanking — Allows noise or unwanted information, such as tape head switching and closed captioning, to be eliminated from the top and bottom of the display.

•Dual output connectors — Allow you to connect and run two output devices simultaneously.

•Executive mode — Locks out all front-panel image adjustment functions except input selection. When executive mode is active, all image adjustments are available through RS-232 commands.

•Freeze mode — Locks the output display to the current image.

•Inputs — Includes three BNC connectors for component video, one BNC connector for composite video, and one 4-pin mini-DIN connector for S-video. The DVS 150 also includes one 15-pin HD connector for RGB pass- through input.

•Multiple control methods — Allow you to make adjustments by pressing a button on the front panel, choosing options from a menu, sending an RS-232 command from a computer, or using a remote contact closure control.

•Outputs — Outputs video as RGB, RGsB, RGBS, and RGBHV. BNC connectors and a 15-pin HD connector are provided.
