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.

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.

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

recall input and picture controls for signals that have been previously applied. When auto memories are disabled, the DVS treats every newly applied input as a new source. Default for Auto Memory is on.
