Powering Up
When the DVS 605 powers up, it performs a self testing sequence (see image below). The LCD displays the default display cycle,
with the signal type, resolution, and refresh rate for the currently selected input and the output resolution and refresh rate.
NOTE: When powered and not in any menu, the LCD screen defaults to cycling through the current input/output status. The displayed content
may vary depending on the input video signal type (see typical default display below).

DVS 605 devices can be congured by any of the following: via the front panel, via the internal web pages, or via RS-232/Ethernet
or USB connection, using the SIS commands (see the rear page).
NOTE: To access the hidden Edit Comm Settings menu, press and hold the Input 5 and the Next button simultaneously. Release buttons when
the menu appears. Edit the setting as needed, then press Menu to exit and save the settings.
To use any menu, press the Menu button to access the main menu, then repeatedly press the Menu button to cycle through to the
desired menu. Press the Next button to enter and cycle through the desired submenu.
NOTE: Press Menu at any time to exit a submenu and return to the main menu.
For detailed information on the menus, see the DVS 605 User Guide, available online at www.extron.com.
To configure the DVS 605 using the front panel, follow the steps below:
1. Within the Output Configuration menu, 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 analog display device. The HDMI format can be set to match the
connected HDMI display.
2. From the Advanced Configuration menu, Test Pattern submenu, select the Alternating Pixels (Alt. Pixels) test pattern. Adjust the
connected analog display active pixels (size), total pixels (clocking), and pixel phase (fine sync) settings for optimal picture quality.
3. From the Advanced Configuration menu, change the test pattern to Crop, and adjust the image position settings until all four sides
of the crop pattern are visible. Disable the test pattern. No further adjustments or Auto-Image functions should be performed on the
display device itself.
4. Use the Advanced Configuration menu to set the Aspect Ratio (Fill or Follow) for each input. Rotate either Adjust knob to the desired
setting.
5. Perform an Auto-Image on each DVS 605 input. Auto-Image is a quick way to size an input to fit the current window size.
To perform Auto-Image on the current input, press the Auto-Image button, then press it again to confirm.
NOTE: Alternatively using the Input Configuration menu, make any desired advanced adjustments, including turning on or off Film detection,
Horizontal and Vertical Start, Active Lines, Pixel Phase, and EDID setting selection.
6. Adjust the Overscan mode under the Advanced Configuration menu as required. Overscan masks Closed Caption and ancillary data
common on broadcast signals. (Applies to SMPTE input resolutions only.)
7. Use the Picture Control buttons to adjust the Horizontal and Vertical Position and Size, Brightness and Contrast, Color and Tint, and
Detail settings if needed.
8. Use the User Presets menu to save the adjustments to each input for manual recall later.
Internal Web pages
The DVS 605 can be congured, controlled, and operated through the Ethernet port when connected to a LAN or WAN, using a web
browser such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer®. The browser displays the factory-installed web pages, which provide a means of
viewing and operating the device. Access the HTML pages by entering the IP address of the unit in the browser Address eld.
NOTE: If the system administrator has not changed it, the factory default IP address is 192.168.254.254. DHCP is disabled. If the unit is
password-protected, enter the administrator or user password in the Password field.
A user name entry is required. Enter admin for administrator level or user for user level (all lower case letters).
