DVS 605 • Introduction 2

Key Features

Video Inputs

• Three HDMI and two universal analog video inputs — The two universal 15‑pin
HD inputs automatically detect incoming RGB, HD component video, YUVi, S‑video, or composite video signals. The DVS 605 allows for seamless switching between HDMI and analog video sources.
• Auto input format detection — For the universal analog video inputs, the DVS 605
detects the incoming signal format, automatically reconfiguring the scaler to provide the appropriate decoding and signal processing.
• Auto-switching between inputs — The DVS 605 can automatically switch between
input sources. The unit can be set up to automatically switch to an active input, by giving priority to the highest active input (51), or to the lowest active input (15). This allows for simple, automated control of the DVS 605 when a control system is not in use.
Auto Switch feature detects “active” video inputs by the presence of valid Horizontal and Vertical sync inputs, and not by the presence of an input cable, or +5 VDC from a source that is currently not outputting active video. Using simultaneous video input detection on all inputs, the DVS 605 will switch to the active input depending on the configured order of precedence (highlow vs. lowhigh).
With auto‑switching, the DVS 605 can accommodate additional inputs when connected to the outputs of a larger presentation switcher, or can be used for unmanaged switching, or as an upstream matrix switcher.

Video Outputs

NOTE: When Auto Switch mode is active, PIP mode cannot be enabled. Similarly,
if PIP mode is currently active, Auto Switch mode cannot be enabled.
• True seamless switching — Seamless cut and dissolve transition effects are
available for inputs 1 to 4. Input 5 features glitch‑free switching with a fade through to black.
• 3G/HD-SDI output — Active only if the current resolution is set to 720p, 1080i,
1080p, or 2k 23.98/24/25 Hz. All video outputs (HDMI, VGA, SDI) share a common output resolution and display the same content.
• Simultaneous scaled outputs for HDMI, HD-SDI, and analog RGB or HD
component video — HDMI and high resolution analog RGB or component video outputs are available for driving two displays.
• Selectable output rates — Available output rates include computer video (640x480 )
up to 1920x1200, HDTV rates up to 1080p/60 Hz, and 2048x1080 (2k/60 Hz).
• Picture-in-picture (PIP) — For inputs 1 to 4, the DVS 605 provides unrestricted
two‑window display of standard definition and high resolution digital and analog video sources. Multiple PIP presets are available, including side‑by‑side windows. The main and PIP windows can be dynamically sized, positioned, and magnified. In audio models, audio switching can be set to follow either the main or PIP window.
DVS 605 • Introduction 3

Audio

• Audio switching — The DVS 605 A and DVS 605 AD feature audio switching for five
analog stereo balanced or unbalanced inputs.
• Output volume control — DVS 605 audio models provide master volume control.
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. The DVS 605 audio models also include a S/PDIF digital audio output.
• Audio input gain and attenuation — Gain or attenuation can be adjusted for each
analog audio input to eliminate noticeable differences when switching between sources.
• Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break an analog audio signal away
from its corresponding video signal and route to the audio outputs, allowing the analog audio channels to be operated as a separate switcher.
• Audio switching transitions — A transition technique can be applied during
switches that lowers the audio of the switched‑out source while simultaneously bringing up the audio of the activated source. The duration of the audio crossfade matches the duration of the video switching transition.
• Integrated audio delay — The DVS automatically delays all analog and digital audio
inputs to compensate for internal video processing delay. Occasionally additional audio delay is required to account for other signal processors, scalers, or display devices in a system. For these situations, the DVS 605 offers an additional 0‑255 ms static global audio delay that can be set via SIS command or internal web pages to eliminate audio “lip sync” issues.
• HDMI audio embedding and de-embedding — For DVS 605 models with audio,
analog input audio signals can be embedded onto the HDMI output signal. The DVS 605 can also extract PCM embedded HDMI audio signals. Encoded bitstream audio for Dolby® Digital or DTS® Digital Surround a can be passed to the HDMI and S/PDIF outputs.

General

• HDCP compliance — features include data rates up to 6.75 Gbps, Deep Color, and
HD lossless audio formats.
• HDCP authentication and signal presence confirmation — The DVS 605 provides
real‑time verification via RS‑232 or Ethernet of the HDCP status for each digital video input and output. This allows for signal and HDCP verification through USB, RS‑232, or Ethernet, providing feedback to a system operator or helpdesk support staff.
• HDCP visual confirmation — This provides a green signal when encrypted content
is sent to a non‑compliant display, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.
• Key Minder — This feature continuously verifies HDCP compliance for quick, reliable
switching. It authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to one or more displays.
• Advanced scaling engine — The DVS 605 features a high performance 30‑bit
scaling engine with the ability to scale high resolution computer‑video and HDTV as well as standard definition video up or down in resolution.
• EDID Minder — This feature automatically manages EDID communication between
connected devices, ensuring all sources power up properly and reliably output content for display.
DVS 605 • Introduction 4

c Inputs 3 to 5 — Connect HDMI sources to these three HDMI connectors.
Audio from the HDMI inputs can be de‑embeded from the HDMI source. This allows the user to choose to select audio either from the HDMI inputs or the analog audio captive screw inputs. Once an audio source is selected, the unselected source is disabled. The default selection is 2‑channel digital audio from the HDMI inputs.
Connect up to three digital HDMI and DVD‑D inputs to the HDMI connectors c. Connect DVI‑D sources using an adapter cable and secure the connectors to the DVS using the LockIt™ bracket as follows:
1. Plug the HDMI cables into the panel connections.
2. Loosen the side HDMI connection mounting screw
from the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it.
3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket onto the screw and
slide it up against the HDMI connector. Tighten the screw to secure the bracket.
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the
HDMI connector and LockIt lacing bracket.

When a new custom rate has been captured or uploaded, the on‑screen display (OSD) dynamically updates with the new rate for that custom slot. For example if a custom 480p EDID is uploaded to slot C1, the LCD would read “C1: 720x480”. These five custom slots are shared between custom output resolutions (based on preferred timings 1 block) and custom EDID tables, which can be assigned to any DVS input.
Analog Output Format
Using either of the Adjust knobs ([ {), select the output video format required by the display: RGBHV (default), RGBS, RGsB, YUV bi‑level, and YUV tri‑level.
Sync Polarity
Some display devices may require a particular combination of horizontal (H) and vertical (V) sync signal polarities. Select the appropriate combination of positive or negative H and V sync by rotating either the Adjust horizontal ([) or the Adjust vertical ({) knob.
NOTE: If the output format was specified as RGsB or YUV, or RGBS, this submenu
will not be displayed because this menu is only applicable for RGBHV.

HDCP Notification
The HDCP Notification provides a means of determining if HDCP content restrictions are preventing a video signal from passing. The DVS 605 has the ability to notify the user that they are currently trying to view HDCP protected content through a non‑HDCP compliant output port (15‑pin HD or 3G/HD‑SDI) or a non‑HDCP compliant HDMI/DVI display. The options presented to the user during this scenario are the ability to show a green screen with a moving “OSD bug” (see page 32) reading “HDCP CONTENT,” or to disable this message, and instead output muted (black) video on non‑HDCP compliant displays.

DVS 605 • Operation 19
HDCP Status: Inputs & Outputs
Through a series of SIS commands (see “SIS Communication and Control” starting on page 34) the DVS 605 has the ability to report HDCP status of the HDMI input signals as well as connected HDMI sink devices. When the unit is queried, it reports feedback on the specified input (source) or output (sink) as follows:
• There is no sink or source attached.
• The connected sink supports HDCP, or the connected source is currently providing a
HDCP encrypted signal.
• The connected sink does not support HDCP, or the connected source is currently
providing an unencrypted signal.
HDCP status of the current input can be viewed on the OSD bug. If the input is encrypted the OSD bug displays an HDCP padlock symbol. The HDCP status of the currently selected input, and the capabilities of the connected HDMI sink device, can also be viewed on the AV Controls bar within the internal web pages of the unit.
HDCP Authorized
The HDCP Authorized function allows the DVS 605 HDMI inputs to be able to report as an HDCP authorized sink or a non‑HDCP authorized sink device to a source. This is especially useful for sources that will encrypt their output even if the source material does not require HDCP encryption, which would then prevent content from being displayed on non‑HDCP compliant displays.
For example, if the user wanted to show a non‑HDCP protected presentation from a PC using the HDMI output of the PC, there is a chance that the PC will encrypt the HDMI, because it can see that the DVS 605 HDMI input supports HDCP authorization. If the user were only going to use the HDMI output of the DVS 605 to a display (sink) that supported HDCP, there would be no issue; however, if the user wanted to use the DVS 605 analog 15‑pin HD output to an analog sink (display), the green HDCP notification screen would be displayed, due to the source unnecessarily enabling encryption on its HDMI output.
By disabling HDCP authorization on one of the DVS 605 HDMI inputs, the PC with non‑ HDCP protected content will determine that the signal path does not support HDCP, and therefore will not encrypt its output. With HDCP authorization disabled on the DVS 605’s input, the user will be able to view their non‑HDCP protected content from any video output of the DVS 605. With HDCP authorized disabled on an input, if HDCP protected content is selected on the source, the source will either simply mute its video output to black, or display a warning message to the user.
Genlock/AFL Modes
The DVS 605 has the ability to lock the output vertical refresh rate to the selected input signal vertical refresh rate (AFL), or to an applied SDI Genlock signal (SDI models only).
The 3 available modes for genlock are:
• Off — A free running pixel clock is generated internally by the DVS 605.
• Input AFL — This mode locks the output vertical refresh rate to the vertical refresh
rate of the currently selected input using Extron Accu‑Rate Frame Lock technology to ensure no frames of the input are repeated or dropped due to frame rate conversion. This mode will result in glitches / interruptions in output sync when a new DVS 605 input is selected, or when a new signal has been routed to the DVS 605 selected input, as the DVS 605 locks to the vertical refresh rate of the new input. If no input signal is detected, or if locking to the input signal would result in a >165 MHz pixel clock, a free running pixel clock is generated by the DVS 605.
DVS 605 • Operation 20
• SDI Genlock (SDI models only) — This locks the output vertical refresh rate to the

applied analog genlock input on the SDI models. In the SDI Genlock mode, the output resolution and refresh rate of the DVS 605 must be set to exactly match the applied analog genlock signal to ensure a true genlock to the applied SDI Genlock signal.
If the applied SDI Genlock signal does not exactly match the resolution and refresh rate of the DVS 605 output resolution, the DVS 605 will lock its output vertical refresh to that of the applied SDI reference (frame lock), which may result in more jitter.
If no SDI Genlock signal is detected, or if the detected SDI Genlock signal would result in a >165 MHz pixel clock, a free running pixel clock is generated by the DVS 605.
If either Genlock/AFL mode has been enabled, a conditional “Genlock/AFL Locked” “Genlock/AFL Not Locked” LCD menu will be added to the DVS 605 default menu cycle to indicate the current Genlock/AFL status. The Genlock/AFL status can also be queried via SIS command.
When using the SDI genlock, the output rate of the DVS 605 must be set to match the applied SDI genlock reference signal, for example 1080i at 59.94 Hz
NOTE: When the DVS 605 is set for input signal lock, a glitch in output sync may
be experienced when switching between inputs as the scaler locks to the input reference.
If either genlock mode is enabled, but no genlock or reference input signal is being applied to the scaler, the DVS 605 defaults to an internally generated vertical refresh rate that matches the current output resolution setting.
Genlock/AFL can be enabled via the front panel menu system by using either of the Adjust knobs ([ {), to turn Genlock/AFL off, set to Input AFL signal, or set to SDI Genlock (where applicable).
When genlock/AFL is enabled a fourth default cycle menu appears.

Genlock/AFL Offset Description
When used in a genlocked system, the DVS 605 can be adjusted +/‑ one frame of video on a per pixel basis, for perfect genlock alignment with the remainder of the system. This offset adjustment can help compensate for long cable runs, or delays generated by upstream equipment. The adjustment can be made using SIS commands, or found in the Output Config Menu, and is only available on –D or –AD models with SDI GENLOCK enabled, and locked to a reference signal.
NOTE: Adjustment of the genlock offset may result in a brief loss of genlock as the
DVS 605 applies the desired pixel/line offset with regard to the applied genlock reference.
DVS 605 • Operation 21

Audio Configuration (All Models)

Audio Configuration allows the user to set volume level (0 dB to ‑100 dB range), turn audio mute on or off, adjust input gain and attenuation levels (–53 dB to +9 dB range) for the current analog input. It also allows selection of an input audio format (none, analog, 2‑channel digital, full digital, 2‑channel auto, or full auto), and the audio output type (stereo or dual mono), which can be adjusted for each input.
NOTE: Volume level and input gain and attenuation adjustments are only available on
audio models (DVS 605 A and DVS 605 AD).
For analog inputs 1 and 2, the choice of input audio format is analog or none.
For non‑audio models format selection for inputs 3 through 5 is limited to
none, 2‑channel digital, or full digital.
For inputs 3, 4, and 5, when in auto mode, digital audio is used when present. If no digital audio is present it defaults to analog audio.

Audio Delay Setting
The DVS automatically delays all analog and digital audio inputs to compensate for internal video processing delay. Occasionally additional audio delay is required to account for other signal processors, scalers, or display devices in a system. For these situations, the DVS 605 offers an additional 0‑255 ms static global audio delay which can be set via SIS command or internal web pages to eliminate audio “lip sync” issues.

Aspect Ratio
Use either Adjust knob ([ {) to set the aspect ratio to Fill or Follow.
The aspect ratio setting is per input, and allows the user to select between each input signal filling the entire output raster (Fill ‑ default setting), or for each input rate to be displayed with its native aspect ratio (Follow ‑ 4:3, 5:4, 15:9, 16:9, 16:10) with the correct letter box or pillar box settings visible under the Image Size and Image Position Picture Controls.
When in the Fill mode, if an aspect ratio adjustment for a single input rate is desired, the correct size and center can be set up using Image Size and Image Position under Picture Controls, using one of the aspect ratio test patterns for a template. If auto memory is enabled, then these settings are saved and recalled the next time the signal is detected.
The DVS 605 clears the previous size and position settings whenever the aspect ratio setting for an input is adjusted.
NOTE: Unique SIS commands can set the device to Auto‑Image and Fill or
Auto‑Image and Follow, regardless of the current aspect ratio.
DVS 605 • Operation 23
Auto-Image
Use either Adjust knob ([ {) to turn Auto‑Image on or off (default).
When enabled and a new input frequency is detected, the DVS first applies an existing Auto Memory for the signal (if Auto Memory is enabled), or, if no entry exists, performs an automatic Auto‑Image on the new signal. This automatically attempts to size/position the image to fill the screen, with respect to the current aspect ratio setting.
With Auto‑Image disabled, the DVS 605 will apply default values to a new input if no Auto Memory exists (if Auto Memory is enabled).
Auto-Image threshold settings
By default, the Auto‑Image function considers any analog video with a >25% brightness to be active video. Some video sources, such as dark PC backgrounds, or dark borders around a presentation, may require a lower “Auto‑Image threshold,” to ensure incoming video is properly sized and centered by the Auto‑Image function. Other scenarios, such as upstream analog twisted pair extension products, may require a greater Auto‑Image Threshold setting in order to allow the DVS 605 to ignore extraneous sync pulses that may have been embedded in the RGB signals.
A global analog video Auto‑Image threshold value can be set via an SIS command or using internal web pages. The range is 0% (black / ~0.0 VDC) to 100% (white / ~0.7 VDC), with a default value of 25%.
NOTE: The Auto‑Image threshold setting only affects analog input signals, and has no
effect on digital inputs, which are sized and centered automatically.
Auto Memory
Use either Adjust knob ([ {) to turn Auto Memory on (default) or off.
The DVS 605 stores 32 auto memories per input, with input configuration and picture control data for each input. The default settings enable these memories to automatically

Overscan
Use the horizontal Adjust knob ([) to select input video type (RGB, YUV, RGBcvS, S‑video, composite, or HDMI), and the vertical Adjust knob ({) to select the overscan mode (None, 2.5% or 5.0%).
Overscan is specific to each input signal type. This zooms and crops SMPTE inputs to mask edge effects and ancillary data that are common in broadcast signals. Issuing an Auto‑Image with overscan enabled, runs an Auto Phase routine (YUV and RGB only) and centers and sizes the input according to table values.
NOTE: Overscan is valid only on SMPTE input rates (NTSC, PAL, 480p, 576p, 720p,
1080i, or 1080p).
Switch type
This enables a video switch transition (cut or dissolve) when switching between inputs. Use either of the Adjust knobs ([ {) to select the switch type as desired.
NOTE: Input switches between input 4 and input 5 use a fade through black
transition.
Test pattern
The built‑in test patterns are useful for calibrating a display to the DVS 605 output. Choose a test pattern such as crop, alternating pixels, and color bars to adjust the image.

Window vs. Image Size Position — An Overview

The DVS 605 provides users the ability to adjust a window size/position and the image’s (the content) size/position independently with regards to the output raster. This independent control is available for both the Main and PIP windows allowing the user comprehensive flexibility in output configurations.
The first example below demonstrates how a single sliver of an input (such as a stock ticker or RSS Feed) can be displayed, while the remainder of the input is masked, by setting the image size greater than the window size.
The second example demonstrates the flexibility of PIP mode. The Main window on the left has the image size set to 4 x the window size, which effectively zooms into the top right corner of the input, while masking the remainder of the input. The PIP window on the right demonstrates the automatic aspect ratio compensation of the “Follow” mode, where the image size and center are automatically adjusted to allow for the input to be shown at its native aspect ratio
Figure 23. Examples of Window vs Image Size Position
NOTE: In PIP mode, the Fill and Follow calculations take place at each input switch,
power cycle, or whenever a new input signal is routed to the current input. The Fill / Follow calculations will adjust the image size and position in order to maintain the input’s native aspect ratio with regard to the current window size.
DVS 605 • Operation 28

Picture-in-picture (PIP) Mode

The DVS 605 can display two images on the screen simultaneously.
The PIP window can be activated using front panel PIP button, discrete SIS commands, PIP presets, or the device embedded web pages. See “SIS Communication and
Control” starting on page 34, or “Using the Default Web Pages” starting on page 61
for details.
NOTE: Input 5 is not available for PIP mode.

Front Panel Activation

When the PIP window is enabled,
• the front panel PIP LED lights red.
• the PIP input LED lights red.
• the input LED for the main window lights green.
NOTES:
Inputs 1 through 4 can be used in any combination for PIP mode.
Input 5 is not selectable for PIP operation.
Attempting to activate PIP mode while input 5 is selected results in the input 5 LED
blinking red/green for one second — LCD reads “IN5 PIP NOT AVAILABLE”.
Attempting to select input 5 for the PIP input while PIP mode is active results in the input 5 LED flashing red/off for one second — LCD reads “IN5 PIP NOT AVAILABLE”.
When in PIP mode, audio breakaway is not supported. Audio follows either the main window or the PIP window, and is selectable via SIS command.
To start picture-in-picture mode:
1. Select an input for the main window input signal. The LED lights green.
2. Press the PIP button. The LED lights red, and the LED for input 1 or input 2 lights red.
3. Select another input as the PIP input, as desired. The corresponding LED lights red.
While the PIP mode is active, all front panel input selection, input configuration, and picture control adjustments will affect the PIP window only.
When PIP is activated from the front panel, or via SIS command (not using PIP presets), the DVS will automatically set up the last PIP layout with sizing and centering for the main window, main image, PIP window, and PIP image. On a new unit, or after a reset, the DVS defaults to the layout saved in PIP Preset #1
The inputs in the windows can be swapped using the front panel Swap button or a single SIS command. See “SIS Communication and Control” for command details.
To swap between PIP and main inputs:
Press the Swap button. The input for the main window now becomes the new PIP input and the LED changes from green to red. The previous PIP input becomes the new main window input and the LED changes from red to green.
When PIP mode is not active, the Swap button swaps the current main input with the previously selected main input.

Other DVS 605 Operating Features

Screen Save

Screen Save mode allows the user to configure what will be displayed on the video output, and for what duration, when the selected DVS 605 input loses an active video signal. By default, the DVS 605 will continue to output muted (black) video and sync indefinitely. Alternatively, users have the ability to display a blue screen with a moving text “bug” that indicates that there is no active signal on the selected DVS 605 input.
A screen save duration can also be configured, which allows the user to set a duration that the black or blue output video will be displayed, before output sync is disabled. By disabling the output video sync, connected display devices can enter a low‑power, or standby state to save lamp/panel life. The default duration is for output sync to never timeout, but it can be configured to disable sync 0‑500 seconds after detecting no active video input. Screen Save mode can be configured via the internal web pages (see “Screen Saver Settings” section on page 81), or by SIS command (see “Screen saver
mode” commands, on page 48).

Power Save

The power save mode allows the user the ability to put the DVS 605 into a low power state, via SIS command (see “Power Save Mode” on page 47), or the internal web pages (see Executive/Power Mode Page on page 86). This state effectively cuts the power consumption of the DVS 605 in half. While in this mode, no audio or video input processing takes place, and all audio and video outputs are disabled. While in Power Save mode, all front panel LEDs and LCD backlight are disabled, and the LCD will read “STANDBY MODE.” The user has the ability to exit Power Save mode via front panel button press, SIS command, or internal web pages. The Power Save state is entered instantly after the associated command has been received, but 5‑10 seconds are required to resume from the Power Save state.

Custom EDID/Custom Output Resolution

The user has the ability to capture EDID or import/upload EDID files to make custom EDID available for emulation on inputs, or for the generation of custom output resolutions. The user can import a 128 or 256 byte EDID “.bin” file from a PC, or can capture the EDID from an attached sink (display) device. This EDID can then be saved and stored in one of five custom EDID slots, which are then available for custom EDID emulation, or custom output rate generation (custom rate based on the EDID preferred timings 1). These functions are available via SIS (see “Input EDID” on page 42), or the internal web pages.
NOTE: Custom EDIDs do not have the audio blocks edited by the audio format setting.
Typically the audio capabilities presented in an HDMI input’s EDID are automatically determined by the current audio format setting for the input. For example, when None or Analog audio are set, the CEA extension block is omitted from the HDMI input EDID, to ensure a source device provides audio on its analog outputs. In the 2Ch Digital and 2CH Auto modes, a CEA EDID extension is emulated that contains support for only 2Ch LPCM digital audio formats. In the Full Digital and Full Auto modes, a CEA EDID extension is emulated that allows for all possible digital audio formats.
However, if a custom uploaded, or captured EDID is used for EDID emulation, the current audio input setting of the HDMI input has no effect on the described audio capabilities contained within the custom EDID file. The DVS 605 simply presents the custom EDID file without any modifications. The Audio Format setting continues to determine which audio source is used for the HDMI input (none, analog audio, or embedded digital audio).

NOTE: If one of the custom EDID slots is in use, the audio format setting will have no

It is important that care should be taken when assigning custom EDID files, as the user can potentially assign an analog (VGA) EDID to a digital (HDMI) input, or vice versa. If an EDID file listing support for the incorrect video format has been assigned, the attached source may not output any video, or unexpected behavior may result.

The OSD Bug

When switching between inputs, the DVS 605 will display a small OSD “bug” in the upper left corner. This bug contains information regarding the detected input rate and format, the HDCP status of the selected input, and an indication of Main vs. PIP inputs. The OSD bug can be disabled by setting the OSD duration to 0.0 seconds via the front panel, the internal web pages, or by SIS commands.
The items displayed are:
• Main vs. PIP
• Detected input rate
• HDCP Lock

Hardwired IR Port

The DVS 605 includes a hardwired IR input, to be used with a hardwired IR output from an Extron MLC, IPL, or similar controller. This port allows for simple, unidirectional control of the DVS 605 from a host controller that has no available RS‑232 ports, but does have available hardwired IR outputs.

Resetting the Unit

There are three unit reset modes (numbered 1, 4, and 5), These are available by pressing the recessed Reset button on the rear panel with a pointed stylus, pen, or similar item to access it. See the following table for a summary of the reset modes.
ATTENTION: Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may

sockets. Each mode is a separate function, and not a continuation from mode 1 to mode 5.
DVS 605 Reset Mode Summary
The unit reverts to the factory default firmware:
a) Reverts to the factory default firmware for a single power cycle.
b) All user files and settings (drivers, audio and video adjustments, IP settings, etc.) are maintained.
Use mode 1 to revert to the factory default version if incompatibility issues arise with user‑loaded firmware.
NOTE: After a mode 1 reset
is performed, update the firmware of the unit to the latest version. Do not operate the device firmware version

that results from the mode 1 reset. This temporarily resets the unit to factory default until power is recycled. If you want to use the factory default firmware, you must upload that version again.
Hold down the Reset button for about 6 seconds until the LED blinks twice (once at 3 seconds, once at 6 seconds). Then, release and press Reset momentarily (for <1 second) within 1 second*.
Hold down the Reset button for about 9 seconds until the LED blinks three times (once at 3 seconds, once at 6 seconds, once at 9 seconds). Then, release and press Reset momentarily (for <1 second) within 1 second*.
NOTE: If you do not want to update
firmware, or you performed a mode 1 reset by mistake, cycle power to the unit to return to the firmware version that was running prior to the mode 1 reset. Use the 0Q SIS command to confirm that the factory default firmware is no longer running (look for asterisks following the version number).
a) Sets port mapping back to factory default
b) Turns DHCP off ‑ sets IP to default address (192.168.254.254)
c) Reset LED flashes four times in quick succession during reset.
Mode 5 performs a complete reset to factory defaults except the firmware.
a) Does everything mode 4 does.
b) Resets all user modifiable configuration to default values including IP settings and real‑time adjustments.
c) Deletes all user loaded files.
d) The Reset LED flashes 4 times in quick succession during the reset.
Mode 4 resets all IP settngs back to factory defaults.
Mode 5 is useful if you want to restart with default configuration. Equivalent to SIS command ZQQQ.
NOTE: *For modes 4 and 5, nothing happens if the momentary press does not occur within 1 second

SIS Communication and Control

The DVS 605 can be configured and controlled via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS-232 connector or the LAN port or the front panel USB port. Control is made using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) of commands, or the DVS default web pages.
Commands can be entered using a Telnet application such as the Extron DataViewer, available at www.extron.com. See the DataViewer Help file for use.
This section describes SIS communication and control. Topics that are covered include:
• Host to Scaler Communications
• Commands and Responses
The scaler uses a protocol of 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control and the rear panel RS-232 captive screw connector has the pin assignments as shown.

Host to Scaler Communications

RS-232 / IR
Tx Rx
GG
IR
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the DVS 605 determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the scaler to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more characters).

Scaler-initiated Messages

When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the DVS 605 scaler responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the host. Example scaler-initiated messages are listed here.

Password Information

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 password entered. If passwords are the same for both administrator and user, the unit defaults to administrator privileges.

Error Responses

When the DVS 605 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.
Error Numbers
E01 — Invalid input number E17 — Invalid command for signal type E06 — Invalid switch attempt in this mode E22 — Busy E10 — Invalid command E24 — Privilege violation E11 — Invalid preset number E25 — Device not present E12 — Invalid port number E26 — Maximum number of connections exceeded E13 — Invalid parameter E28 — Bad filename/file not found E14 — Not valid for this configuration

Commands and Responses

Using the Command and Response Tables

The command and response tables for SIS commands from page 42 onwards lists the commands the DVS 605 recognizes as valid. The tables show the responses that are returned to the host with a description of the command function or command execution results. Also included are examples of command in ASCII (Telnet) and URL encoded (web).
NOTE: Upper and lower case text can be used interchangeably.

X12& = The number of seconds before timeout on the IP connection: min. = 1; max. = 65000; (default = 30 = 300 seconds). If no data is received during the timeout period, the Ethernet connection is closed. Each step = 10 seconds. Applicable only when connected via Ethernet. When connected via RS-232 only the global timeout commands apply (current returns E13). Response is returned with leading zeros.
X13! = Firmware Query (‘Q’ commands) *Q = Firmware and build number [<X.YY.ZZZZ> ] 0Q = Verbose version information [<2Q> - <3Q> - < 4Q>] sum of responses from 2Q-3Q-4Q 1Q = Firmware version [<currently running code (X.YY)>] 2Q = Final stage bootloader (Uboot) version [<X.YY>] 3Q = Factory base code version [<factory base code (X.YY)>*<kernel version (X.YY) – description – date loaded >] 4Q = Updated firmware version [<updated code version (X.YY)>*<kernel version (X.YY) – description – date loaded >]
NOTE: For 3Q and 4Q, an asterisk ‘*’ after version number indicates which version is
currently running. A question mark (?.??) indicates that only the factory firmware version is loaded. A caret (^) indicates the firmware version that should be running, but a Mode 1 reset was executed and the default factory firmware version is loaded. An exclamation point (!) indicates corrupted firmware. [Example: 1.03*(1.42-DVS 605 -Thur, 21 Apr 2012 22:30:57 GMT).]

Using the Default Web Pages

The DVS 605 features an on‑board web server, displayed as a set of default web pages. These pages allow you to control and operate the DVS 605 unit via a LAN or WAN connection through the RJ‑45 port, using a web browser such as the Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 8 or later, Mozilla® Firefox® 6 or later, Google Chrome™ 9 or later, Apple® Safari® 4 or later.
NOTE: If you are using Internet Explorer, compatibility mode must be turned off (see
Turning Off Compatibility Mode” on page 62 for details).
This section gives an overview of the default web pages, which are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten.
Topics that are covered, include:
• Accessing the Default Web Pages
• Navigating the Default Web Pages

Accessing the Default Web Pages

Access the DVS 605 through the on‑board web server pages as follows:
1. Double‑click the web browser icon on the PC desktop to launch the web browser.
2. Click in the browser Address field.
3. Enter the unit’s IP address in the browser Address field.
NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory‑
specified default is DHCP set to OFF, IP address = 192.168.254.254.
4. Press the keyboard <Enter> key. The DVS 605 checks to see if it is password
protected. If it is not password protected, proceed to step 6. If it is password protected, the DVS 605 displays the Enter Network Password page.
NOTE: A user name entry (“user” or “admin”) is required.
5. Click in the Password field and type in the appropriate administrator or user
password if prompted.
6. Click OK.
DVS 605 • Using the Default Web Pages 61

Turning Off Compatibility Mode

The DVS 605 default web pages do not support compatibility mode in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
To check compatibility view settings:
From the Tools menu of the browser, select Compatibility View Settings. The Compatibility View Settings dialog box opens.
Be sure that the Display all websites in Compatibility View check box is cleared, and that the IP address of the DVS 605 is not in the list of websites that have been added to Compatibility view.

Navigating the Default Web Pages

The DVS 605 default web pages opens with two main pages: Configuration and Hardware. Below the tabs for each page is a global navigation bar with icons for ease of navigation through the various options. The two pages have specific groups of options.

Video only and Audio only switching (breakaway) Rules
When the current audio input is configured for digital audio:
• Digital audio is not available from any input other than the currently selected video
input.
• Audio‑only switching can be made to inputs that are configured for analog audio.
• Video‑only switching is not possible.
• Video‑only switching can only be made after an audio‑only switch to an input
configured for analog audio, and then can be made to any input.
When the current audio input is configured for analog audio:
• Audio‑only switching is available to any other input that has audio configured as
analog.
• Audio‑only switching is not possible to any other input that has audio configured as
digital.
• Video‑only switching is possible, regardless of the audio configuration of the new
input.
• When switching video‑only from an input that has audio configured as analog, to an
input where the audio is configured as digital, the digital audio on that new input can now be selected.
Clear the Breakaway Audio check box to disable the audio breakaway.

Input Presets
A total of 128 global input presets are available for the DVS 605. An input preset is a user‑defined set of input and picture control settings that can be saved for each source within a system so that they can be recalled whenever the source is applied. Input presets are unique to the signal that was applied when the preset was initially saved. This type of preset saves specific settings for size, position, contrast, brightness, color and tint (if applicable), detail, and input configuration.
NOTE: An input preset can be recalled on any input supporting the input type that
was active when the preset was saved. However, input presets only apply to the input resolution that was present when the preset was saved.
To create and save an input preset:
1. Adjust the signal sampling, picture control, and size settings (see the “Size and
Position” section on page 75) as desired.
2. From the Preset Number drop‑down list select a preset number.
3. In the Preset Name field, enter a name for the preset.
4. Click Save. If an input preset already exists in this location, a confirmation dialog box
opens. In the dialog box, click Yes to overwrite the previous input preset.
The settings are saved to the selected preset location to be recalled at a later time.
See the “Preset Management Page” section on page 79 for information about renaming input presets.
To recall an input preset:
1. From the Preset Number drop‑down list, select the preset to recall.
2. Click Recall. A confirmation dialog box opens.
NOTE: If an unassigned preset is selected, the Recall button is disabled.
3. In the dialog box, click Yes.
NOTE: Recalling a preset overwrites any adjustments to the settings of the current
input. An input preset can also be recalled through the Preset Management screen.
See the “Preset Management Page” section on page 79 for the procedure to delete an input preset.
Overscan
This mode zooms and crops SMPTE inputs to mask edge effects and ancillary data common in broadcast signals. Issuing an Auto‑Image with overscan enabled, runs an Auto Phase routine (YUV and RGB only) and centers and sizes the input according to table values.
NOTE: Overscan is applied only to SMPTE input rates (NTSC, PAL, 480p, 576p,
720p, 1080i, or 1080p).
To set the overscan, select a percentage (0.0%, 2.5%, or 5.0%) from the drop‑down list that is associated with the desired input signal type.

Mounting the DVS 605

If the DVS 605 is to be rack mounted, it is important to mount it before cabling it. Four rubber feet are included with the unit. Install the feet only if the unit is to be mounted on a tabletop (see “Tabletop Placement” below).

Tabletop Placement

For tabletop placement, install the self‑adhesive rubber feet or pads (provided) onto the four corners of the bottom of the device.

UL Guidelines for Rack Mounted Devices

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the device in a rack.
1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi‑unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the device in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.
2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the
effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack‑mounted
equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as use of power strips).
