Other DVS 605 Operating Features
Screen Save
Screen Save mode allows the user to configure what will be displayed on the video output, and for what duration, when the selected DVS 605 input loses an active video signal. By default, the DVS 605 will continue to output muted (black) video and sync indefinitely. Alternatively, users have the ability to display a blue screen with a moving text “bug” that indicates that there is no active signal on the selected DVS 605 input.
A screen save duration can also be configured, which allows the user to set a duration that the black or blue output video will be displayed, before output sync is disabled. By disabling the output video sync, connected display devices can enter a
Power Save
The power save mode allows the user the ability to put the DVS 605 into a low power state, via SIS command (see “Power Save Mode” on page 47), or the internal web pages (see Executive/Power Mode Page on page 86). This state effectively cuts the power consumption of the DVS 605 in half. While in this mode, no audio or video input processing takes place, and all audio and video outputs are disabled. While in Power Save mode, all front panel LEDs and LCD backlight are disabled, and the LCD will read “STANDBY MODE.” The user has the ability to exit Power Save mode via front panel button press, SIS command, or internal web pages. The Power Save state is entered instantly after the associated command has been received, but
Custom EDID/Custom Output Resolution
The user has the ability to capture EDID or import/upload EDID files to make custom EDID available for emulation on inputs, or for the generation of custom output resolutions. The user can import a 128 or 256 byte EDID “.bin” file from a PC, or can capture the EDID from an attached sink (display) device. This EDID can then be saved and stored in one of five custom EDID slots, which are then available for custom EDID emulation, or custom output rate generation (custom rate based on the EDID preferred timings 1). These functions are available via SIS (see “Input EDID” on page 42), or the internal web pages.
NOTE: Custom EDIDs do not have the audio blocks edited by the audio format setting. |
Typically the audio capabilities presented in an HDMI input’s EDID are automatically determined by the current audio format setting for the input. For example, when None or Analog audio are set, the CEA extension block is omitted from the HDMI input EDID, to ensure a source device provides audio on its analog outputs. In the 2Ch Digital and 2CH Auto modes, a CEA EDID extension is emulated that contains support for only 2Ch LPCM digital audio formats. In the Full Digital and Full Auto modes, a CEA EDID extension is emulated that allows for all possible digital audio formats.
However, if a custom uploaded, or captured EDID is used for EDID emulation, the current audio input setting of the HDMI input has no effect on the described audio capabilities contained within the custom EDID file. The DVS 605 simply presents the custom EDID file without any modifications. The Audio Format setting continues to determine which audio source is used for the HDMI input (none, analog audio, or embedded digital audio).
