The DVS 605 series of digital video scalers is comprised of:

•DVS 605, standard model

•DVS 605 A, with audio switching

•DVS 605 D, with 3G/HD-SDI output

•DVS 605 AD, with 3G/HD-SDI output and audio switching

All models are full rack width, and are available with optional 3G/HD-SDI outputs (DVS 605 D and DVS 605 AD) and balanced/unbalanced audio (DVS 605 A and DVS 605 AD).

All models are high performance video scalers that include three HDMI inputs, two universal analog video inputs, and simultaneous HDMI and analog high resolution outputs. The DVS 605 models accept a wide variety of video formats including HDMI with HDCP, HDTV, RGB, and standard definition video. They feature advanced Extron video signal processing with 1080i de-interlacing, Deep Color processing, and true seamless switching for professional-quality presentations. The DVS 605 models offer flexible control options including Ethernet, RS-232, USB, hardwired IR, and contact closure.

The five inputs of all DVS 605 models accommodate a variety of sources. The analog inputs can automatically detect and process RGB computer-video, HDTV, component video, S-video, and composite video. The DVS 605 provides the capability to integrate digital and analog video devices, with HDCP compliance to enable integration of Blu- Ray Disc players and cable or satellite HD receivers. Auto-switching between inputs streamlines system operation as well as integration with presentation switchers or matrix switchers.

Output scan rates are available from VGA (640x480) to 1920x1200 resolution, as well as HDTV at 720p, 1080i, 1080p/60 Hz, and 2k/60 Hz.

list.

The DVS 605 models feature EDID Minder and Key Minder. EDID Minder automatically manages Extended Digital Identification Data (EDID) communications between the display device and all the HDMI and VGA computer-video input sources.

For HDMI signals with protected content, Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV environments.

DVS 605 models with audio switching feature HDMI audio embedding and de-embedding. Any input audio signal can be embedded onto the HDMI output. DVS 605 audio models can also extract embedded HDMI audio to analog and digital S/PDIF outputs. The DVS 605 AD, with audio switching plus 3G-SDI/HD-SDI output, can embed up to eight channels of audio onto the SDI output.
