Extron electronic DVS 304 AD, DVS 304 D manual DVS 304 Introduction

S-video or composite video signal.

RGB and video scaling — Provides a high performance scaling engine with the capacity to scale standard definition video, high definition video, and computer-video signals up or down in resolution.

Picture Control — Allows size, position, brightness, contrast, color, tint, detail, zoom and pan adjustments for each input.

Picture-In-Picture — Allows for a low resolution (YUVi, S-video, and composite video) input or a high resolution (VGA and YUVp) input for the primary or secondary picture.

Memory and input presets — Memory presets save sizing, positioning, and picture control settings.

Input presets (on input 4 only) save input configuration, picture control, and OSD (on-screen display) text.

Auto image™ — Auto image automatically sizes, centers, and optimizes the image to that of the scaled output rate, filling the window with the image.

IP Link® — IP Link-enabled products offer an integrated Web server with high performance architecture, global compatibility with industry standard Ethernet communication protocols, multi-user support, and a Web-based asset management application specifically designed to work with products that include IP Link technology.

Buffered video outputs — 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 (the BNCs and 15-pin HD connector) are active at all times for simultaneous output.

Device control — The scaler has four methods of control; by the scaler’s front panel, via a computer or other RS-232 control device, using the optional IR

902 remote control, or via Signal Enhancements Windows Control Program. Scaled outputs — The DVS 304 offers 62 different output rates.

RS-232 configuration — The DVS 304 can be configured by using the Extron control software for Windows or by using a third party control system.

Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — To prevent accidental changes to the unit’s settings, the DVS 304 provides front panel lockout of all controls except input switching.

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

film-source video. The DVS 304’s advanced film mode processing recognizes signals that originated from film. The DVS 304 then applies video processing algorithms that optimize the conversion of video that was made with the 3:2 pull down process. This results in richly detailed images with sharply defined lines. A similar process is used for PAL film-source video.

Versatile mounting options — The DVS 304 and DVS 304 D are 1U high, half rack wide rack mountable devices. Alternatively, they can be placed on a table or other furniture. Rubber feet and rack mounting hardware are included.

The 1U high and full rack DVS 304 A and DVS 304 AD (audio models) can be rack mounted using included rack/through-desk mounting brackets.
