Buffered video outputs —
•DVS 304 models – Five
•DVS 304 DVI models – Five
Device control — The scaler has four methods of control: by its front panel, via a computer or other
Scaled outputs — The DVS 304 models offer 69 output rates and the DVS 304 DVI models offer 70 output rates.
Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — To prevent accidental changes to the unit’s settings, the scaler provides front panel lockout of all controls except input switching. A second executive mode completely disables all front panel controls.
3:2 pull down detection for NTSC and 2:2 film detection for PAL video sources
—These patented, advanced film mode processing features help maximize image detail and sharpness for video sources that originated from film. When film is converted to
NTSC video, the film frame rate has to be matched to the video frame rate in a process called 3:2 pull down. “Jaggies” and other image artifacts can result if conventional de- interlacing techniques are used on
3:2 pull down process. This results in richly detailed images with sharply defined lines. A similar process is used for PAL
Versatile mounting options — The non audio models are 1U high, half rack wide rack mountable devices. Alternatively, they can be placed on a table or other furniture. Rubber feet are included.
The audio models are 1U high and full rack size and can be rack or desk mounted using included rack or
Controlling the DVS 304 Devices
All DVS 304 series devices can be controlled using one or more of the following methods:
•The front panel controls.
•A computer, a touch screen panel, or any other device that can send and receive the serial communications through the
Instruction Set (SIS™) is a set of simple keystroke commands that can be used with any such devices, and Extron control software for Windows provides a graphical interface for controlling the scaler from a computer.
•The optional IR 902 remote control, replicating most of the front panel controls.
•Ethernet control via IP Link, enabling the scaler to be controlled and actively monitored over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet.
