About this Guide

This guide contains information about the Extron DVS 510 Series of switching scalers
with instructions for experienced installers on how to install, configure, and operate the equipment.
In this guide, the terms “DVS,” “DVS 510,” and “scaler” are used interchangeably to refer to DVS 510 and the DVS 510 SA scalers.

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.
DVS 510 Series • Introduction 1

Features

The DVS 510 provides the following features:
Video upscaling and downscaling — DVI, RGB computer video, high definition video,
and standard definition video sources can all be scaled to the desired output resolution.
The DVS 510 scaling engine provides high quality upscaling and downscaling of high
resolution computer video signals.
High Performance Video Processing — A high performance 30-bit scaling engine is
able to scale standard definition video, HDTV, and RGB signals up or down in resolution. It accepts computer video signals up to 1920x1200 and HDTV 1080p/60. It outputs DVI and analog RGB or component video at selectable output rates from 640x480 to 1920x1200 resolution and HDTV rates of up to 1080p/60.
EDID Minder® — The Extron EDID Minder automatically manages the Extended Display
Identification Data (EDID) for all the DVI and VGA input sources. By default, VGA and DVI input EDIDs match the current output resolution of the scaler. Also available is a user assigned mode, which allows pre-stored EDID, based on a user selected resolution, to be manually assigned to the sources. By maintaining continuous EDID communication with all sources, EDID Minder ensures that all DVI and VGA sources power up properly and
maintain their video outputs whether or not they are actively connected to the display device through the scaler outputs.
Inputs — The DVS 510 has two composite video inputs on BNC connectors, two
S-video inputs on 4-pin mini DIN connectors, two RGB/YUV inputs on 15-pin HD connectors, and two digital and two analog RGB/YUV inputs on DVI-I connectors. Stereo
balanced and unbalanced audio for each input is provided on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors
Outputs — The DVS 510 has a scaled DVI-D video output on a DVI-I connector, two
scaled RGB/YUV outputs on 15-pin HD connectors, and two audio outputs (one fixed
and one variable) providing balanced and unbalanced stereo audio on 3.5 mm 5-pole
captive screw connectors. The DVS 510 SA also has an amplified output on a 5 mm,
4-pole captive screw connector.
Simultaneous DVI and analog RGB or HD component video outputs — A DVI-D
and two analog RGB/YUV outputs are provided for driving up to three display devices.
Selectable output rates — Available output rates include computer video up to
1920x1200, HDTV rates up to 1080p/60, and 2048x1080.
HDCP compliance — The DVS 510 fully supports HDCP-encrypted signals.
Active HDCP verification — The DVS 510 provides real-time verification of HDCP
status for each DVI input and output. This allows for quick signal and HDCP verification through RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet.
HDCP Visual Confirmation — The DVS 510 outputs a full-screen green signal and an
on-screen message when an HDCP compliant source is routed to a non-HDCP compliant
display, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the selected display.
Image freeze control — A live image can be frozen through RS-232 or RS-422 serial
control and through Ethernet control.
Auto-Image™ setup — Enables the DVS 510 to automatically analyze the incoming
video signal for each input and adjust sizing, centering, and filtering to optimize image quality. This can save time and effort in fine tuning displayed images.
Auto memories — Enables the DVS 510 to store size, position, and picture settings
based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected again, these image
settings are recalled from memory.
DVS 510 Series • Introduction 2
Page 9
PIP (picture-in-picture) — Allows a video source to be displayed within a high
resolution image, or vice versa. Audio switching can be set to follow either the main or PIP window.
Glitch-free switching — Switching between sources occurs without distortions or
glitches with selectable cut or fade-to-black transitions.
Customizable front panel control buttons — The tri-colored, backlit pushbuttons
on the front panel can be custom-labeled.
Power Save Mode — The DVS 510 can be set to mute video and sync output to
the display device when no active input signal is detected. This allows the projector or flat-panel display to automatically enter into standby mode to save energy and enhance lamp or panel life.
HDMI signals support — When used with optional Extron HDMI-DVI adapters, the
DVI inputs and output on the DVS 510 are compatible with HDMI. The DVS 510 fully passes audio and auxiliary data as part of the HDMI signal, ensuring audio and video compatibility with downstream HDMI-equipped devices.
Audio switching and output volume control — The DVS 510 features audio
switching for 10 stereo balanced or unbalanced input sources, and provides master volume control and muting as well as bass and treble controls. Fixed and variable line level outputs are available, and each output can be balanced or unbalanced. Stereo input signals can be output as dual mono.
Audio or video breakaway — Lets you break an audio signal away from its
corresponding video signal and route it to the audio outputs, allowing the audio channels to be operated as a separate scaler.
Integrated audio delay — Delays the audio output automatically to compensate for
latency introduced by the video processing.
Amplifier (DVS 510 SA only) — The DVS 510 SA has a stereo power amplifier
with 25 watts rms per channel into 4 or 8 ohms. The Class D amplifier design
includes CDRS™ – Class D Ripple Suppression, an Extron patented technology that
provides a smooth, clean audio waveform and an improvement in signal fidelity over conventional Class D amplifier designs. CDRS eliminates the high frequency switching ripple characteristic of Class D amplifiers, a source of RF emissions that can interfere
with sensitive AV equipment such as wireless microphones. The DVS 510 SA includes technology for the integrated amplifier that detects the
onset of clipping by comparing input and output signals. Gain is reduced with a slow
attack and fast release to eliminate clipping and protects the speakers from clipping distortion.
Picture controls — Brightness, contrast, color, tint, detail, horizontal and vertical
positioning, sizing, and zoom can be set. 16 user memory presets are available for each input to store all image settings.
Automatic 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection — Advanced film mode processing
techniques help maximize image detail and sharpness for NTSC, PAL, and HDTV 1080i
sources that originated from film.
Motion adaptive 1080i deinterlacing — High performance deinterlacing is
provided for 1080i signals from HD sources, including cable or satellite set-top devices,
delivering optimized image quality through advanced motion compensation.
Aspect ratio control — The output can be designated to meet a specific aspect ratio
requirement so that the image fills the screen, or is displayed with compensation for the native aspect ratio of the source.
Quad standard video decoding — A digital, four-line adaptive comb filter decodes
NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM for integration into systems worldwide.
DVS 510 Series • Introduction 3
Page 10
Test patterns — 12 test patterns are provided for calibration and setup, including a
crop pattern, crosshatch, 16 bar grayscale, color bars, alternating pixels, ramp, white field, 4 x 4 crosshatch, and four aspect ratio patterns (1.33, 1.78, 1.85, and 2.35).
Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — When enabled, locks out all front
panel functions except for input selection (all functions remain available through RS-232, RS-422, or IR remote control).
Optional IR remote control — The optional Extron IR 904 handheld remote control
provides an additional method of input source switching, picture-in-picture, and direct access to picture adjustments.
Ethernet monitoring and control — The DVS 510 can be controlled and proactively
monitored over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet. Embedded web pages are included for
such common functions as input switching, volume control, and system configuration.
RS-232 and RS-422 control — The DVS 510 can be controlled and configured via
Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands, a set of basic ASCII code commands that allow for quick and easy programming via RS-232 or RS-422.

i Amplified audio output connector (DVS 510 SA only) — This 4-pole, 5 mm captive
screw connector enables you to connect a set of speakers or another output device to
the DVS 510 SA internal amplifier for amplified output.
All right channel input signals are mixed and summed to produce a single, right channel output; likewise, all left channel input signals are mixed and summed to produce a single, left channel output.
If Stereo is selected for the output type, the output is stereo; if Dual Mono is selected, the right and left channels are mixed and summed for a dual mono output.
With an 8 ohm load, the amplifier produces up to 8 watts per channel. With a 4 ohm
load, the amplifier produces up to 25 watts per channel.
(See “Wiring the Amplified Audio Port [DVS 510 SA Only]”on page 12 for information on connecting speakers to this port.)

Wiring the Amplified Audio Port (DVS 510 SA Only)

To connect speakers to the DVS 510 SA built-in amplifier, terminate the speaker cable as
follows:
1. Strip the end of the cable 3/16 inches (5 mm).
CAUTIONS: The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical.
The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). If the exposed portion is longer, the wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If the exposed wires are shorter, they can be easily pulled out, even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can
become loose over time.
2. Secure the wires into the supplied 4-pole captive screw connector.
CAUTION: Do not short the + and - outputs to each other because this will damage
the amplifier.
The following table shows which speaker wires to connect to the positive and negative pins of the Amplified output connector.

a Input Buttons — Press the desired input button to select an input and switch it to
the current output. The visual effect accompanying the switch (switch effect) can be a cut or a fade, depending on the selection (see “Advanced Configuration Menu
on page 29). With front panel input selection, audio always follows (switches with) the front panel video selection. (Video and audio breakaway switching are available only via
SIS commands [see the “Remote Configuration and Control” section, beginning on page 47]).
Signal types: The input buttons listed below select connected sources that support
the following signal types:
1 and 2: Composite
3 and 4: S-video
5, 6, 7, and 9: RGB (includes RGBHV, RGBS, RGBcvS, and RGsB) or component
video (YUVp/HDTV or YUVi)
8 and 10: DVI
Input button lighting: When an input button is pressed, it lights amber unless
the DVS is in picture-in-picture (PIP) mode (see “Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Mode
on page 18 for more information). If the audio is broken away (switched separately from the video), the button for the selected video input lights green and the button for the selected audio input lights red.
Auto-Image: If an input button is held for 3 seconds, the Auto-Image feature is
activated for that input, sizing and centering the selected image to fill the screen (see “Auto Image submenu” on page 30).
Input buttons in PIP mode: If the picture-in-picture (PIP) feature is enabled, the
input buttons select an input for either the background (primary) window or the PIP (secondary) window. The primary input button lights amber and the secondary (PIP) input button lights green. If the PIP feature is turned off, the input buttons select the main output only, and no input button lights green.
If the PIP feature is on when an input is selected, the audio associated with that input in the PIP window is muted. The audio does not become unmuted until either:
It is swapped to the main window.
An SIS “Audio follow” command has been issued to configure the DVS to
make the audio follow the PIP window.
(See “Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Mode” for more information.)
b PIP control buttons — When PIP is enabled, a secondary image from a second source
appears 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 screen and it is positioned in the lower-right corner of the display.
The following two buttons control the picture-in-picture (PIP) function:
PIP On/Off button: Turns PIP mode on and off (toggles between showing and
hiding the picture-in-picture on the display). This button lights when the DVS is in
PIP mode.
PIP Swap button: Toggles the primary (main or background) and secondary (PIP)
pictures between the main image and the PIP window.
(See “Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Mode” for more information on the picture-in-picture function.)
DVS 510 Series • Operation 15
Page 22
c Picture control buttons — Press these buttons to adjust window and image size,
position, brightness, range of dark and light values (contrast), color, tint, detail, zoom
(magnify or reduce), and pan. When one of these buttons is pressed, it lights amber.
NOTE: When PIP mode is enabled, all picture control adjustments affect only the PIP
window.
(See “Picture Controls” on page 36 for details on these button functions.)
d LCD screen — Displays messages, menu information, and your selections from
menus or control buttons (see “Menus on the LCD Screen” on page 20 for more information).
e Menu navigation buttons — Press Menu to access the DVS menu system and step
through the menus. From each menu, press Next to step through the submenus (see “Menus on the LCD Screen” for details).
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 — Turn this knob to adjust the volume on the input
that is currently selected. The three LEDs, labeled Min, Mid, and Max, light incrementally in bottom to top order to indicate the current volume level. The Max LED (top) is red;
the others are green (see “Volume Control” on page 39 for details on these controls).
h Config port — This configuration port on a 2.5 mm TRS connector is an alternative to
the RS232 port on the DVS rear panel. (For a description of the rear panel RS232 port,
see “Rear Panel” on page 7).
NOTE: This port supports RS-232 communication only. Only the rear panel RS232
port supports both RS-232 and RS-422.
Both of the DVS serial ports can be used for system configuration and control.
Instructions are received through these ports from the computer via SIS commands or
the Signal Processing Products Control Program. Both serial ports can be active at the
same time.
The default protocol for this configuration port is:
9600 baud 8 data bits 1 stop bit
No parity No flow control
An optional 2.5 mm TRS configuration cable (part number 70-335-01) is available from
Extron and can be used to connect your computer to this port. (See “Connecting to
the RS-232 Config Port (Front Panel)” on page 11 for the configuration and pin
assignments for this cable.)

Powering On

Apply power to the DVS by connecting the provided IEC power cord from the rear panel
power connector to an AC power source. The scaler performs a self-test during which all the front panel buttons blink red, then green, then amber. At the same time, the initial two power-up screens are displayed on the LCD screen. At the completion of the self-test, all button lights turn off except for the previously selected Input button (Input 1 by default) and the Menu and Next buttons, all of which continue to be lit amber. If picture-in-picture (PIP) mode was enabled previously, the input button for the PIP source and the PIP On/Off button light green. The LCD panel displays the default cycle.
If an error occurs during the self-test, the DVS locks up and does not operate. If this occurs, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline. (See the rear cover for contact
information in your area.)
When power is first applied to the DVS, the LCD panel displays Initializing Please
Wait..., then Extron, DVS 510 Vn.nn, where n.nn is the current firmware version. If
the DVS self-test completes successfully, the default cycle begins, in which the LCD panel
display alternates between the current output resolution and refresh rates, and the currently selected input number, signal type, and horizontal and vertical frequencies. These two screens continue to cycle on the screen when the menu system is not in use.
The flow diagram below shows the order in which the screens appear at power-up and in the default cycle.

Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Mode

The picture-in-picture (PIP) feature lets the DVS display two image sources on the screen
simultaneously.
One of these image sources must be low-resolution (composite, S-video, YUVi, or RGBcvS) video, while the other must be high resolution (YUVp/HDTV, RGB, or DVI) video.
High resolution — Inputs 5 through 7 and 9 if they are configured as RGB (RGBHV,
RGBS or RGsB) or high-resolution component video YUVp/HDTV; inputs 8 and 10 (DVI).
Low resolution — Inputs 1 through 4; and 5, 6, 7, and 9 when they are configured as
component video YUVi or RGBcvS
The PIP function toggles between the selected input in each resolution group. The PIP function cannot toggle between two inputs in the same resolution group.
The following table shows the resolution of each input:
Input High Resolution Low Resolution
1 Composite
2 Composite
3 S-video
4 S-video 5 RGB, YUVp/HDTV YUVi, RGBcvS 6 RGB, YUVp/HDTV YUVi, RGBcvS 7 RGB, YUVp/HDTV YUVi, RGBcvS 8 DVI (all formats) 9 RGB, YUVp/HDTV YUVi, RGBcvS
10 DVI (all formats)
By default, the PIP image is one-fourth the size of the main window and is positioned in the
lower-right corner of the display.
NOTE: The size of the PIP window can be set in the menu system (see “Enabling
PIP Mode,” on the next page). The position of the PIP window is set with the
centering adjustment (see “Picture Controls” on page 36 for details).
When PIP mode is active:
The button for the main window input lights amber. The PIP input button lights green.
All picture controls configure only the image in the PIP window. The main window
settings cannot be modified while the PIP window is active. The PIP size and position can be adjusted with the same front panel controls or SIS commands used to adjust the main image.
The parameters of the PIP window are adjustable from the front panel menus or by SIS
commands only.
Any change in configuration (except sizing or positioning) of the PIP window is saved to
that input even after the PIP mode is no longer active.
The PIP window input is shown in the default cycle as the current input.
If the PIP window source is not active, the PIP mode exits until an active signal is
detected. When the main window source is removed, a black background is displayed.
Audio and video breakaway are not allowed.
DVS 510 Series • Operation 18

Enabling PIP Mode

To enable picture-in-picture mode:
1. Select an input for the main window. The selected input button lights amber.
2. Configure the input for the main window as desired (see “Input Configuration
Menu” on page 23 and “Picture Controls” on page 36).
3. Press the PIP On/Off button to activate the PIP mode.
The input button for the PIP window lights green.
The PIP window appears on the screen in its previously displayed size and position.
(On first activation, the PIP window appears in the default size and position.)
4. Configure the PIP window as desired, using the same methods you used to configure
the main window in step 2.
You can also enable PIP via SIS commands (see the Picture-in-picture [PIP] commands on page 60 in the Command and Response Table for SIS Commands), the Windows-
based control software (see the SPPCP help file), the web pages (see “PIP Setup Page” on page 104), or using the IR remote control (see “Using the Optional IR 904 Remote
Control” on page 43).
NOTE: The first time the DVS is placed in PIP mode, by default input 1 is
selected if the main input is high resolution, and input 5 is selected if the main input is low resolution. If PIP mode has been enabled previously, the input in the correct resolution category that was the PIP input most recently is selected.

To change the input for the PIP window or the main window, determine if the corresponding input is low- or high-resolution.
If your main window image is from a low-resolution source, switch to another low-resolution input from the front panel.
NOTE: The front panel buttons do not permit you to select two low-resolution or two
high-resolution inputs. For example, if you have selected input 1 (composite) for the main window (the button is lit amber) and then you press the button for input 2 (also composite), input 2 is selected for the main window (lights amber) and input 1 is deselected.

Using the PIP Swap Feature

Use the swap feature to switch the active main window input with the current PIP input. For example, if the main window is input 5 (RGB scaled) and the PIP window is input 1
(composite), applying the swap command results in input 1 becoming the main window and input 5 the PIP window.
To swap the main window input with the PIP input, press the PIP Swap button. The buttons switch colors from amber to green and vice versa.
You can set audio to follow the main (default) window or the PIP window. Audio breakaway
is not possible while PIP mode is on; audio must follow either the main window or the PIP window.

4. Press Next to save or recall the preset. The User Presets menu is displayed.
To exit the user presets function without saving a preset, press Menu.
NOTES: The presets are saved in nonvolatile memory; therefore, powering down the
DVS does not lose the presets.
User presets can be saved at one input resolution and rate and recalled to a
different one.
Example: If the current output resolution is 1024x768 and a 720p input is applied, you can size and center a “letterbox” image for a 16:9 input resolution and save it to a user preset. Subsequently, if a 1080p resolution is applied to the unit, the letterbox preset that was saved at 720p can be recalled with the new 1080p input resolution.

Film Mode Detect
Enable and disable 3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC and
2:2 film detection for PAL video sources.
3:2 and 2:2 pulldown (film modes) help maximize image detail and sharpness for video sources that originated
from film. When film is converted to NTSC video, the
film frame rate must be matched to the video frame
rate. “Jaggies” and other image artifacts can result if
conventional de-interlacing techniques are used on film­source video.
When film mode is enabled, the DVS recognizes
signals that originated from film and then applies video processing algorithms that optimize the conversion of video that was made with the 3:2 or 2:2 pulldown process. This results in sharply detailed images.

Auto Image submenu
Auto-Image is enabled per input. When an input is connected and Auto-Image is enabled, the DVS performs an image adjustment in which it measures where the active area starts
and stops, then adjusts input sampling accordingly, so that the image fills the window. The scaler measures the sync frequencies of the incoming video source and sets the active image area, total image area, and the sampling frequency according to a table stored on the
DVS. If an unknown input is connected to the DVS, the scaler measures and estimates the
resolution of the incoming video. If the estimate proves inaccurate, the Auto-Image function makes measurements to more accurately set up the input sampling.
Auto-image affects the following settings:
Active pixels Horizontal position
Active lines Vertical position
Horizontal start Horizontal size
Vertical start Vertical size
Pixel phase
All other settings are unchanged when an Auto-Image is performed.
If the aspect ratio is set to Fill, the horizontal and vertical position is set to 0,0, and the horizontal and vertical size is set to match the current output rate. If the aspect ratio is set to
Follow, the horizontal and vertical position is set to maintain the native aspect ratio of the
input with respect to the current output resolution.
If auto memories are enabled, the DVS first checks for an existing memory entry for the
connected input (see “Auto Memories submenu”).
Auto-Image is useful in applications in which a variety of input sources are likely to be encountered, such as on a lectern or podium where guest laptops might be plugged in.
To enable or disable Auto-Image for an input:
1. From the Advanced Configuration menu, press Next until the Auto Image submenu is
displayed.
2. Rotate the horizontal Adjust knob ([) to select the input to be auto-imaged.
3. Rotate the vertical Adjust knob ({) to select On or Off for Auto-Image.
The default input selection is input 1; the default Auto-Image status is Off.
Auto Memories submenu
When auto memories is activated, the DVS stores size, position, and picture settings based on the incoming signal from the connected input. When the same input signal is detected
again, these image settings are recalled from memory.
To enable or disable auto memories:
1. Press Next until the Auto Memories submenu is displayed.
2. Rotate either Adjust knob to the right to select On or to the left to select Off.
The default for auto memories is On. It is recommended that auto memories not be disabled unless you are using an input preset (selectable via SIS commands, the SPPCP, and the web pages) or if you want each input to be treated as a new input without using saved settings.
NOTE: When an Auto-Image is performed, auto memory is checked first and if an entry
is found, its settings are used. If you do not want to use the auto memories settings, disable auto memories before allowing Auto-Image to be performed. (See the table below for the results of the possible combinations of Auto-Image and auto memories settings.)
DVS 510 Series • Operation 30

Auto Memories and Auto-Image Interaction
Auto memories Auto-Image Action
On On New signals or rates that have not been previously
detected by the DVS 510 are initially set up using default
parameters, then Auto-Image is applied and the values are stored. The next time that signal is detected, the values stored in the auto memory location are applied.
On Off (Default) New signals or rates that have not been
previously detected by the DVS 510 are set up using
default parameters. If manual input or picture settings are made to the input, an auto memory location is created and recalled each successive time the input is detected.
Off On Each change in input sync triggers an automatic
Auto-Image. When auto memory is disabled, each change
in sync is treated as a new signal and an automatic Auto-Image is triggered. Any manual changes made to the image and picture controls are lost each time a new rate is detected.
Off Off Each change in input sync causes default values to be
applied to the rate. Any manual changes made to the image and picture controls are lost when a new rate is applied.
Aspect Ratio submenu
The aspect ratio control allows you to select between Fill (the input signal at each rate fills the entire output raster), or Follow (the input signal at each rate is displayed with its native aspect ratio [default setting]).
In fill mode, if you want an aspect ratio adjustment for a single input rate, you can set
up the correct size and centering by using one of the Aspect Ratio test patterns as a template (see “Test Pattern submenu” on the next page). If auto memories is enabled, this setting is saved and recalled the next time the signal is detected.
In follow mode, each input rate is displayed with its native aspect ratio (4:3, 5:4, 16:9,
or 16:10). You can view the correct letterbox or pillar box settings by pressing the Size
or the Position button. If a single input is to fill the entire raster in follow mode, you can manually set the position (center) to 0,0 and the size to match the current output rate (see “Picture Controls” on page 36).
To select the aspect ratio mode:
1. From the Advanced Configuration menu, press Next until the Aspect Ratio submenu is
displayed.
2. Rotate either Adjust knob to select the desired mode.
RGB Delay submenu
The RGB delay feature applies a brief delay before displaying a new input on a screen,
allowing the display device to adjust to the new sync timing. This delay shows the viewers a
blank screen, masking any glitch during switching. The RGB Delay options are 0 to 5 seconds
in 0.1-second increments.
To set the RGB Delay time:
1. From the Advanced Configuration menu, press Next until the RGB Delay submenu is
displayed.,
2. Rotate either Adjust knob to select the amount of delay.

Input Presets

The DVS 510 Series has 128 input preset slots, which can save signal type, input
configuration settings, and picture control settings for any of the inputs. These presets can
be saved and recalled using the Windows-based control software (see the Signal Processing
Products Control Program help file), SIS commands (see the Input Presets commands on
page 63 in the Command and Response Table for SIS Commands) or the DVS 510 Series
web pages (see “Memory/Input Presets Page” on page 102).
The following settings are contained in the input presets:
Input Type • Color Horizontal Start Horizontal Position
Preset Name* Tint Vertical Start Vertical Position
Film Mode Detect Contrast Pixel Phase Horizontal size
Zoom Brightness Total Pixels Vertical size
Pan Detail Filter
*Can be set by SIS command only.
The 128 input presets are global, containing all of the settings for an input when the DVS is
used with a matrix switcher. This allows a matrix switcher with multiple types of video inputs
to be connected to the DVS 510 to expand the number of input video sources. Each input should be switched into the DVS, configured, then saved as a preset for recall
by a control system when that input is sent from the matrix switcher to any of the 10 DVS
inputs.
If an input preset is recalled to an input that does not support the input type saved in
the preset, an SIS error code is returned.
If the signal frequencies and total line count do not match the frequencies saved in the
preset, the DVS uses the auto memories settings instead of recalling the preset. If no auto memory exists for the frequency, the DVS references its lookup table (a generic list of default sampling parameters embedded in the DVS).
If the output rate does not match the output rate that was active when the preset was
saved, all settings in the input preset are recalled except size and position.

Audio Functions

The DVS 510 Series provides three audio outputs: fixed, variable, and amplified (DVS 510 SA
only). The following table shows the functions available on these audio outputs.
(See “Audio Configuration Menu” on page 28 for information on adjustments to the functions listed in the table above.)

Volume LEDs
To the right of the Volume knob are three LEDs that indicate the volume level:
Max (red) — Lights steadily when the volume level is between 80% and 99%. When
the volume is at 100% (maximum), this LED flashes.
Mid (green) — Lights steadily when the volume level is above 49%.
Min (green) — Lights steadily when the volume level is above 1%. When the volume
is at 0 (minimum), this LED flashes. It also flashes when the audio is muted by SIS
command (see the Audio Mute commands on page 62 in the Command and Response Table for SIS Commands) or by the IR remote control (see “Using the Optional IR 904
Remote Control” on page 43).
NOTES: When the volume is muted, all the Volume LEDs go dark except Min, which
flashes.
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.

Resetting

The rear panel has a recessed Reset button that initiates various levels of resets. To select different reset levels, use a pointed stylus or small Philips screwdriver to press and hold the
button while the DVS is running or press and hold the button while applying power to the
scaler.
NOTE: You can also reset the unit to factory defaults using SIS commands (see the
Resets commands on page 66 in the Command and Response Table for SIS
Commands) or from the front panel (see “Reset to Factory screen” on page 33).
CAUTION: Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result
in unintended loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or scaler reboot. The table on the next page provides a summary of the reset modes.
NOTES: The reset modes listed in the table on the next page close all open IP and
Telnet connections and all sockets.
Each mode is a separate function, not a continuation from mode 1 to mode 5.

Front Panel Lockout (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, RS-422, and Ethernet communication, as well as IR remote control, remain available.
Lock mode 1 locks all front panel functions. This mode can be enabled or disabled
only by SIS commands (see the Front Panel Security Lockout (Executive Mode) commands on page 64 in the Command and Response Table for SIS Commands).
Lock 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).
NOTE: The IR receiver can be locked (default state) and unlocked via SIS commands (see
the IR Receiver commands on page 65 in the Command and Response Table for SIS Commands).

Additional Features

The following features are available via one or more of the following: SIS commands, the
Signal Processing Products Control Program, the DVS 510 HTML pages, or IR remote control.
They cannot be accessed via the front panel.

Freeze

This function freezes the current image on the display. You can freeze and unfreeze the image using the Windows-based control software (see the SPPCP help file), SIS commands
via an RS-232 or RS-422 connection (see the Freeze commands on page 63 in the Command and Response Table for SIS Commands) or the web pages (see “User Control
Page” on page 99).
If you switch inputs while the image is frozen, the freeze mode is cancelled and the image from the new input is displayed.

Power Save Modes

When there is no active video for the current input, you can disable the output sync so that
a display can go into a lower power or standby state. This can increase the life of the display
panel or projector lamp. You can select the power save mode using SIS commands (see the
Power Save/Screen Saver commands on page 60 in the Command and Response Table for
SIS Commands) or the Signal Processing Products Control Program (see the SPPCP help file). The power save options are:
Mute video to black, retaining output sync.
Display a blue screen.
Display a blue screen for 1 minute, then mute all sync outputs.
DVS 510 Series • Operation 42
Page 49

Output Sync Mute

This function mutes all video and sync outputs, placing the display device in a power save mode. Output sync mute is available only via SIS commands (see the Video Mute commands on page 57, in the Command and Response Table for SIS Commands).
NOTE: Individual outputs cannot be muted by this command. With the output sync
mute enabled, all analog and digital outputs are simultaneously disabled.

Overscan Mode

This function allows you to set a default overscan of 0%, 2.5%, or 5% to apply to SMPTE input rates (NTSC, PAL, 480p through 1080p). When the overscan mode is not set to 0% and an auto-image is performed on a low-resolution or DVI input, the DVS uses the default
values for input sizing and centering instead of performing a complete auto-image.
For YUV Auto and RGB inputs, pixel phase is included in the auto-image, regardless of the
current overscan setting.
The overscan mode setting is adjusted per input type (composite, S-video, RGBcvS, YUV Auto, RGB, and DVI) using SIS commands (see the Overscan Mode commands on
page 64 in the Command and Response Table for SIS Commands).

Using the Optional IR 904 Remote Control

The optional hand-held IR 904 Remote Control (part number 70-767-01) provides a convenient means of remotely performing many of the functions that are also available
through the front panel, SIS commands, the Windows-based control software, or the embedded web pages. The DVS responds to commands from remote control as if the
corresponding button were pressed on the front panel or the corresponding SIS command or software selection were entered.
The IR receiver port on the front panel is located to the left of the Config port. It receives signals from the remote control if they are sent from within a 40-degree arc to the right or left of direct line of sight between the remote control and the scaler IR sensor, and from no more than 30 feet (9 m) away.

The DVS 510 can be remotely controlled via a host computer or other device (such as
a control system) attached to the rear panel RS232 connector, the front panel RS-232
Config port, or the LAN port. You can configure and control the DVS by the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) of commands, by using the Extron Windows-based Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP), or by the internal HTML web pages (see the “HTML
Configuration and Control” section, beginning on page 85).
This section describes the serial and Ethernet connections through which the SIS commands
can be issued, and lists the commands that are available for configuring and controlling the
DVS 510 Series. It also provides instructions on obtaining and opening the control program.
Topics include:
Serial Ports
Ethernet Port
Using SIS Commands
Using the Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP)

Serial Ports

Ethernet Port

Ethernet Cable

The DVS supports RS-232 and RS-422 serial communication protocols and can operate
at 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates. (See “Edit Comm Settings menu” on page 34 to configure this port using the front panel menus.)
The default protocol for the serial ports is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. (See o RS232 connector or Connecting to the RS-232 Config Port [Front
Panel] on page 11 for the pin assignments for these two ports.)
The RJ-45 connector on the rear panel can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN to enable control of the DVS via SIS commands or the Signal Processing Products Control
Program. Communication between the scaler and the controlling device can be via a utility
such as Extron DataViewer or HyperTerminal, or via Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The
Telnet port number can be changed, if necessary, via SIS. (For information on connecting via Telnet, see “IP Addressing” on page 116.)
The Ethernet cable must be properly terminated for your application as either a straight-
through cable or a crossover cable. (For pin assignments for these cables, see “n LAN
connector” on page 10.)

Page 54

IP Address

To access the DVS 510 or DVS 510 SA via the Ethernet port, obtain the IP address of the
scaler from your network administrator. If the IP address has been changed to an address comprised of words and characters, you can determine the actual numeric IP address using the ping (ICMP) utility (see “IP Addressing” on page 116 for more details). If the IP address has not been changed, the factory-specified default is 192.168.254.254.

Establishing an Ethernet Connection Using TCP

Establish a network connection to a DVS as follows:
1. Open a TCP connection to port 23, using the IP address of the scaler.
The scaler responds with a copyright message that includes the date, the name of the product, firmware version, part number, and the current date and time (see “Scaler-initiated Messages” on the next page).
NOTE: If the scaler is not password-protected, the device is ready to accept SIS
commands immediately after it sends the copyright message.
If the scaler is password-protected, a password prompt appears below the copyright message.
2. If the scaler is password protected, enter the appropriate administrator or user
password.
3. If the password is accepted, the scaler responds with Login User or Login
Administrator.
4. If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.

Connection Timeouts

Using SIS Commands

The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of no communications. By default,
this timeout value is set to 5 minutes, but the value can be changed (see the Set current
connection port timeout command on page 71, in the Command and Response Table for
IP-specific SIS Commands).
NOTE: Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically
issuing the Query (Q) command to keep the connection active. If there are long
idle periods, Extron recommends disconnecting and reopening the connection
when another command must be sent.
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. When the DVS determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. Each scaler response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

Scaler-initiated Messages

When a local event such as a front panel input selection or adjustment takes place, the DVS
responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the host. Some scaler-initiated messages are listed here.
(c) Copyright 20nn, Extron Electronics, DVS 510, Vn.nn., 60-835-0n ]
Www, DD Mmm YYYY hh:mm:ss ]
The DVS sends the copyright message upon connecting to the computer via IP, or when
powering up while connected. Vn.nn is the firmware version number.
] Password:
The ] Password: prompt requires a password (administrator level or user level) followed by a carriage return. The prompt is repeated if the correct password is not entered.
If the correct password is entered, the unit responds with:
]****** ]Login Administrator]
or
]****** ]Login User]
depending on the password that was entered. If the passwords are the same for both the administrator and the user, the unit defaults to administrator privileges.
In X! All ]
Reconfig ]
The DVS sends this response when an input is switched or when a new signal is
detected.
X!
is the input number.

Error Responses

When the DVS receives a valid command, it executes the command and sends a response
to the host device. If the unit is unable to execute the command because the command contains invalid parameters, it returns an error response to the host. The responses include:
Error Numbers
E01 — Invalid input number
E10 — Invalid command
E11 — Invalid preset number
E12 — Invalid port number
E13 — Invalid parameter
E14 — Not valid for this configuration
E17 — Invalid command for signal type
E22 — Busy
E24 — Privilege violation
E25 — Device not present
E26 — Maximum number of connections exceeded
E27 — Invalid event number
E28 — Bad filename or file not found

to a product whose current configuration does not support the command
24

administrator level
27

Using the Command and Response Tables

These tables contain Telnet (port 23), serial, or web browser (port 80) commands. There are
some minor differences between issuing these commands via Telnet and via URL encoding
using a web browser. All commands work with either connection method but, due to some limitations of the web browser, the encapsulation characters are modified to make sure that the browser properly handles them.
NOTE: For web browsers, all non-alphanumeric characters must be represented as
their hexadecimal equivalent. An example is the %xx command, where xx is the two-character representation of the hex byte that needs to be sent. (For example, a comma would be shown as %2C.)
Telnet Web browser
Escape (Hex 1B) W (must not be encoded) Carriage Return (Hex 0D) Pipe Character ( ) (must not be encoded)
When SIS commands are used through a web browser, the URL reference is used below to shorten the examples. In practice, this would be the full URL of the control interface and
web page reference, including all path information; for example, http://192.168.254.254/ index.html
To send any of the commands using a web browser, prefix them with the full IP address, followed by ?cmd=.
NOTE: With Telnet you can use either the Escape commands or the W commands, and
the carriage return or the pipe ( | ) character. With the web browser you are required to use the W commands and the pipe character.
In either method, {Data} is data that is directed to a specified port and must be encoded if it is non-alphanumeric.
The Command and Response Tables for SIS Commands, starting on page 55, list the
commands that the DVS 510 scaler recognizes as valid, the responses that are returned to
the host, a description of the command function or the results of executing the command, and command examples.
NOTE: If the unit does not support or recognize a command that is entered, no action is
taken and no response is returned.

HTML Configuration and Control
This section provides procedures for accessing and using the DVS 510 embedded web pages.
The following topics are included:
Accessing the Web Pages
Special Characters
System Status Page
Configuration Pages
File Management Page
Control Pages
The DVS can be controlled and operated through its Ethernet port, connected via a LAN or WAN and using a web browser such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer®. The browser displays the DVS web pages, which provide an alternative means of configuring and operating
the scaler. These factory-installed web pages are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten.
NOTE: If your Ethernet connection to the scaler is unstable, try turning off the proxy
server in your web browser. To do this in Microsoft Internet Explorer, click
Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings, clear the Use a proxy server... check box, then click OK.

Accessing the Web Pages

Access the HTML pages as follows:
1. Start the web browser program.
2. Click in the browser Address field and enter the IP address of your DVS.
NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, use the
factory-specified default 192.168.254.254 in this field.
3. If you want the browser to display a page other than the default page (such as a custom
page that you have uploaded), enter a slash (/) following the IP address and the name of the page file to open.
NOTES: The browser Address field should display the IP address in the following
The following characters are invalid or not recommended in file names:
format: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/optional_file_name.html.
+ ~ , @ = ` [ ] { } < > ‘ ’ “ ” ; : | \ and space.
DVS 510 Series • HTML Configuration and Control 8585

If the scaler is not password protected, the System Status web page opens.
If the DVS is password protected, the network password dialog box is displayed.
Figure 39. Example of a Network Password Dialog Box
5. If an administrator or user password is required, enter it in the Password field. If desired,
select the check box to have the system input your password the next time you enter your DVS IP address. Click OK.

Special Characters

NOTE: A User name entry is not required.
The DVS 510 checks several possibilities, in the following order, and then responds
accordingly:
a. If the address includes a specific file name, such as
10.13.156.10/file_name.html, the scaler downloads that HTML page.
b. If there is a file in the DVS memory that is named index.html, the scaler downloads
index.html as the default startup page.
c. If neither of the above conditions exists, the scaler downloads and displays the
factory-installed default startup page, nortxe_index.html, which is the file name for the System Status page.
The HTML language reserves certain characters for specific functions. The DVS does not
accept these characters as part of preset names, the scaler name, passwords, or locally created file names.
Use of the following characters is not recommended: + ~ , @ = ` [ ] { } < > ’ ‘ “ ” ; : | \ ? and space.

The DVS 510 displays the System Settings page when you click the Configuration tab. The screen consists of fields in which you can view and edit IP administration and system
settings. The Scaler Settings, Passwords, and Firmware Upgrade pages can be accessed by
clicking the appropriate link on the left sidebar menu. (See “IP Addressing” on page 116 for basic information about IP addresses and subnetting.)
Figure 41. System Settings Page
On password-protected connections, there are two levels of protection: administrator and
user. Administrators have full access to all scaling capabilities and editing functions. Users
can select inputs, create and recall presets, and view all settings with the exception of passwords.
Ethernet connection to the scaler can be password protected, either entering SIS
commands (see the “Remote Configuration and Control” section, beginning on page 47) or using the Signal Processing Products Control Program (see the program help file).
Connection via RS-232 or RS-422 is not password protected.

IP Settings Fields
The IP Settings fields let you view and edit settings unique to the Ethernet interface. After editing any of the IP settings, click the Submit button at the bottom of this section.
Unit Name field
The Unit Name field contains the name used as the “from” information when the DVS e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. You can change this name field to any
valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.
NOTE: The following characters are invalid or not recommended in the name:
+ ~ , @ = [ ] { } < > ’ ‘ “ ” ; : | \ and ?.
DHCP radio buttons
The DHCP On radio button directs the DVS to ignore any entered IP addresses and to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server (if the network is DHCP capable).
The DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP off (default).
Contact your local system administrator for this setting.
IP Address field
The IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected DVS. This address is encoded in the scaler flash memory.
Valid IP addresses consist of four octets: one-, two-, or three-digit numeric sub-fields separated by periods. Each octet can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeros, up to three digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.
The factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conflicts with other equipment at your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid value.
NOTE: IP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local system
administrators should change IP addresses.
Gateway IP Address field
The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway (to the mail server) to be used if the scaler and the mail server are not on the same subnet.
The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the system IP address (see “IP Address
field,” above).
Subnet Mask field
The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the scaler is on the same subnet as the mail server when you are using a subnet (see Subnetting, a Primer” on page 120 for more information).
The subnet mask address has the same validity rules as the system IP and gateway IP addresses.
MAC Address field
The MAC (media access control) address is a unique hardware address by which each
individual DVS 510 can be identified. It consists of six pairs of characters separated by hyphens. For all Extron products, the first three character pairs are 00-05-A6, followed by
three more pairs unique to the individual device. The MAC address is hard coded in the scaler and cannot be changed.

Date/Time Settings section
The fields in the Date/Time Settings section enable you to view and set the date and time parameters.
Figure 42. Date/Time Settings Fields
To change the date and time settings:
1. In each Date or Time field that you want to change, select the desired value from the
drop-down menu or key it in the field. (The Month drop-down box is selected in the figure above); or
Click the Local Date/Time button to set the date and time to your local settings.
2. From the Zone menu, select your time zone. The selection displayed in the Zone field
identifies the standard time zone and the amount of time, in hours and minutes, that local time varies from the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) international time reference.
3. If daylight saving time is currently in effect in your area, select the radio button for the
area. If daylight saving time is not in effect or is not observed, select Off.
NOTE: When daylight savings time is enabled, the scaler updates its internal clock
between standard time and daylight savings time in the spring and fall on
the date that the time change occurs in the United States of America and parts of Europe and Brazil. When daylight savings time is turned off, the
scaler does not adjust its time reference.
4. Click the Submit button at the bottom of the Date/Time Settings section to implement
your selections.
