The Extron DSC HD-3G A is an HDMI to 3G-SDI scaler that converts HDMI signals to 3G-SDI, HD-SDI, and SD-SDI. It accepts computer and SMPTE video resolutions up to 1920x1200 and 2k, and offers multiple output rates from 480i up to HDTV 1080p @ 60 Hz and 2k. The DSC HD-3G A features advanced Extron video signal processing with 1080i deinterlacing and Deep Color processing for optimal image quality. Dual SDI outputs, stereo audio embedding, and genlock are also provided.

This setup guide provides step-by-step instructions for an experienced user to set up and configure a DSC HD-3G A. It covers how to perform basic operations using the front panel controls and selected Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands.

NOTE: For full installation, configuration, menus, connector wiring, and operation details, see the DSC 3G-HD A and

DSC HD-3G A User Guide, available at www.extron.com.

Mounting and Cabling the DSC HD-3G A

1. Disconnect power: Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources.

2. Mount the unit: (Optional) Mount the DSC HD-3G A either in a rack using

shelf mounting brackets (RSU 129 or RSB 129) or under furniture using furniture mounting brackets (MBU 125) (see gures 1 and 2 at right). A false face plate (RFF 052) can be tted on top of the low prole DSC if desired.

3. Connect the input: Connect an HDMI video source to the HDMI input

connector c.

4. Connect analog audio input: (Optional) Connect analog audio from the

source to the captive screw Audio input connector b.

NOTE: To embed audio from this input, you must first set it up using

the on-screen display (OSD) (see page 2) or SIS commands (see page 4).

5. Connect the output: Connect one or two SDI display devices to

the 3G/HD/SD-SDI output connectors e for SDI output with optional embedded analog or HDMI audio.

6. Connect a control device: For remote control via SIS commands or

the PCS Windows®-based control software:

z RS-232 — For serial RS-232 control, connect a host computer or

control system to the 3-pole captive screw RS-232 connector f. RS-232 protocol (default values) are 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, 8 data bits, no ow control.

z USB — Connect a host computer or control system to the front

panel mini USB port (b in the front panel illustration on page 2) for conguration and control via Extron PCS Control software.

7. AC power connector — Connect the supplied US standard IEC

power cord between this connector a and a 110-220 V 50-60 Hz AC power source.

Locking the Front Panel (Executive Mode)

To prevent unauthorized access or accidental changes to DSC settings, you can lock the front panel controls, making control available only by SIS commands. (The default state is unlocked.) You can lock and unlock the front panel as follows:

z Using the front panel buttons: To lock, press the Menu and  buttons simultaneously and hold them until the OSD

displays Executive Mode Enabled (approximately 5 seconds). To unlock, repeat this process.

z SIS commands: To lock (enable executive mode), enter 1X. To unlock (disable executive mode), enter 0X.

Conﬁguring the DSC HD-3G A

The DSC HD-3G A can be configured through a host connected to the RS-232 or USB port, using Extron PCS Windows-based control software (available at no charge at www.extron.com) or SIS

commands (see page 4 for a selection of basic commands). You

can also configure it using the OSD menu system, described below.

On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu System

The OSD menu system consists of seven submenus and two information screens. To access the menus, press the front panel Menu button. With the main menu displayed, use the arrow buttons to step through the submenus and submenu options. Press the Enter button to select items that you highlight. Communication and Device Info screens are read-only and do not provide selections.

Setting Up the DSC HD-3G A Using the OSD Menu

The Quick Setup submenu is displayed when the OSD opens. This submenu contains options from other submenus that you are most likely to need when configuring the DSC for the first time. Use the Quick Setup submenu to perform a basic system setup and get started quickly using the DSC. Select the following options from it as needed:

z Auto-Image™ — Performs an Auto-Image on the video input to adjust the horizontal and vertical size and positioning to

the selected aspect ratio (ll the screen or follow the input device aspect ratio). To perform an Auto-Image, select this option, then press Enter again to initiate the Auto-Image.

z Input EDID — Matches the input EDID to the output rate or sets a discrete EDID. After selecting Input EDID, press the  or

 button to step through the available EDIDs (the default is 720p @ 59.94 Hz).

z Output Resolution — Lets you select the resolution and refresh rate for the current output from 42 available

factory-installed rates (see "Output Scaler Rates"). Select the Output Resolution submenu, then press the  and 

buttons to cycle through the available rates.

z Auto Memory — Sets the DSC to automatically save the current input conguration and picture control values according

to the most recent conguration for each different rate. After selecting Auto Memory, press any arrow button to toggle Auto Memories on and off.

z Aspect Ratio — Lets you specify how much of the display the image lls. The sub-options are Fill (lls the entire screen)

or Follow (uses the aspect ratio of the input). After selecting Aspect Ratio, press any arrow button to toggle between Fill and Follow.

z Input Audio Format — Lets you select the format of the audio to embed in the output. After selecting Input Audio

Format, press any arrow button to cycle through the options: None (mute the audio), Analog (embed analog audio onto the SDI output), LPCM-2CH (use the rst channel pair), Multi-Ch (use the rst four channel pairs).

z Test Pattern — Lets you select from seven test patterns to aid in setting up the DSC and the output display.

Output Scaler Rates

Output rates can be set using the OSD menu or SIS commands. The table below gives the rates and their SIS variables (see page 4 for the commands).
