About the DVS 510 Series Scalers

The Extron DVS 510 Series scalers are 10-input, multi-format presentation switching scalers
that accept and scale DVI, RGB, YUVp/HDTV, YUVi, S-video, and composite video signals to
a common, high resolution output rate. With simultaneous DVI and two analog RGB/YUV
outputs, the DVS 510 can integrate analog and digital video devices, and HDCP compliance
enables integration of Blu-ray Disc players and cable or satellite HD receivers. The DVS 510
also offers flexible control options, including front panel controls, Ethernet, RS-232 or
RS-422, and infrared (IR).
The DVS 510 also includes 10-input stereo audio switching to accompany incoming video
sources. Gain and attenuation adjustment is provided for each input, and the DVS 510
provides master volume control on the front panel. Also included are bass and treble
controls, as well as integrated audio delay to maintain audio sync with the processed video
output.
The DVS 510 is available in two configurations: the standard DVS 510, which offers fixed
and variable line level audio outputs, and the DVS 510 SA, which adds an integrated stereo
amplifier with 25 watts rms output per channel into 4 or 8 ohms.
