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. Two models are
available: the standard DVS 510, which has fixed and variable line level audio outputs, and the DVS 510 SA, which adds an
integrated stereo amplifier. Control options include front panel buttons and knobs, Ethernet, RS-232 or RS-422, web pages,
and infrared (IR). This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install and connect the DVS 510 scalers.
NOTE:For full installation, configuration, and operation details, see the DVS 510 Series User Guide, available at
www.extron.com.

NOTE:(Optional) To obtain one or two more RGB/YUV inputs, you can connect an Extron DVIIM-VGAF/DVIIF
DVI and Analog Breakaway (Y) cable to either or both DVI-I input connectors. Each Y cable provides an
additional RGB VGA connector and DVI-I connector (see ”Breakaway cable” on the next page).

one DVI source to one or both of these connectors.
This cable enables both an analog and a DVI source
device to be connected to these ports and active at
the same time.

the scaler from a remote location using an Internet browser on a computer.
zRS232 port — For serial RS-232 or RS-422 control, connect a host computer or control system to the DVS via this
9-pin D-sub connector (o).
zThe front panel has an additional serial port (RS-232 only) (see “Front Panel Features” on the next page).
The default protocol for both ports is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, 8 data bits, and no flow control.
8. Connect power to the DVS 510 by plugging a standard IEC power cord (provided) from a 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz
power source into the power receptacle (a).
Locking the Front Panel (Executive Mode)
To prevent accidental changes to settings, you can lock the DVS 510 front panel controls by placing the scaler in lock
(executive) mode 1 or 2. While the DVS is in lock mode, RS-232 or RS-422 and IR remote control remain available.
zLock mode 1 locks all front panel functions. This mode can be enabled or disabled only by SIS commands.
zLock mode 2 locks all front panel functions except input selection, PIP, volume control, and Auto-Image™. To enable
lock mode 2, press and hold the Position and Size buttons simultaneously until Executive Mode 2 Enabled appears in
the LCD window (approximately 2 seconds).
To exit lock mode 2, press and hold the Position and Size buttons again until Executive Mode Disabled appears in
the LCD window (approximately 2 seconds).

DVS 510
DIGITAL VIDEO SCALER
a Input Buttons — Press one of these buttons to select an input and switch it to the current output. The inputs support
the following signal types: inputs 1 and 2 — composite video; inputs 3 and 4 — S-video; inputs 5, 6, 7, and 9 —
RGB (RGBHV, RGBS, RGBcvS, or RGsB), YUVp/HDTV, and YUVi; and inputs 8 and 10 — DVI.
NOTES:• On the rear panel, inputs 7 and 8 share one of the DVI-I input connectors; inputs 9 and 10 share the
other.
• Pressing and holding the Input button for 3 seconds initiates an Auto-Image on that input.
b PIP (picture-in-picture) control buttons — Display a secondary image from a second source on the screen in front of
the main image, in a previously selected size and position. The default size of the PIP window is one-fourth of the screen
and it is positioned in the lower-right corner of the display.
zPIP On/Off button — Turns PIP mode on and off (toggles between showing and hiding the picture-in-picture on
the display). Lights green when the DVS 510 is in PIP mode.
zPIP Swap button — Toggles the primary (main or background) and secondary (PIP) pictures between the main
image and the PIP window.
NOTE: When the DVS is in PIP mode, one input must be low-resolution (inputs 1 through 4, and 5, 6, 7, and 9
when they are configured as component video YUVi or RGBcvS) and one must be high-resolution (inputs 5,
6, 7, and 9 when configured as RGB or YUVp/HDTV, and inputs 8 and 10).
c Picture control buttons — Adjust window and image size, position, brightness, contrast, color, tint, detail, zoom
(magnify or reduce), and pan. When one of these buttons is pressed, it lights amber.
d LCD screen — Displays messages, menu information, and menu or control button selections.
e Menu navigation buttons — Press Menu to access the DVS 510 menu system and to step through the menus. From
each menu, press Next to step through the submenus.
f Adjust knobs — Rotate these horizontal ([) and vertical ({) knobs to scroll through submenu and picture control
options and make adjustments.
g Volume knob and indicator LEDs — Rotate this knob to adjust the volume on the current input. The three LEDs light
incrementally, bottom to top, to indicate the current volume level:
zMin (green) indicates volume is above 1%. At 0% volume, this LED blinks.
zMid (green) indicates volume above 49%.
zMax (red) indicates volume above 79%. At 100% volume, this LED blinks.
NOTES:• The volume level is also shown on the LCD screen as a bar graph.
• When an incremental Volume LED lights, the LEDs below it remain lit. For example, when the Max LED
lights, the Mid and Min LEDS are also lit.
h Config port — This RS-232 port on a 2.5 mm TRS connector is an RS-232 only alternative to the rear panel
RS-232/RS-422 port. Default protocol for this port is 9600 baud, 8 data bits,1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
i IR sensor — Receives infrared (IR) signals from the IR 904 remote control.
NOTE: By default, the IR sensor is disabled.

Configuring the DVS 510 Using the Front Panel
Menu selections are displayed on the front panel LCD screen. To use any menu, press the Menu
button repeatedly until the desired menu is displayed. Press the Next button repeatedly until
the desired submenu is displayed. Rotate the appropriate Adjust knob to select an item from a
submenu. To exit a submenu and return to the main menu, press the Menu button at any time.
1. From the Output Configuration submenus, use the Adjust knobs to select the output
resolution and refresh rate, the output signal type, and the sync polarity to match the
requirements of the display device.
2. From the Advanced Configuration menu, Test Pattern submenu, select the Alternating
Pixels (Alt Pixels) test pattern. Adjust the active pixels, total pixels (clock), and pixel
phase settings for your display for optimal picture quality.
3. From the Advanced Configuration menu, set the test pattern to Crop, and adjust the
position settings of the display until all four sides of the crop pattern are visible. Disable
the Crop test pattern.
4. Use the Input Configuration submenus to make any desired adjustments to the applied
input signals, including turning film mode detection on or off and setting the horizontal
and vertical start, pixel phase, total pixels, active pixels, and active lines.
5. Press and hold each input button for 3 seconds to perform Auto-Image on the input.
Auto-Image sizes the input to fit the current window size.
6. Use the Picture Control buttons to adjust the size, position, brightness, contrast, color, tint,
detail, zoom, and pan for each input as needed.
7. Use the Audio Configuration submenus to configure the audio as desired.
8. Use the User Presets menu to save the set of adjustments for manual recall later.
