The Extron DSC 301 HD Digital Scaling Converter is a scaling product that accepts the most common video signal formats to be processed, scaled, and output as HDMI. This setup guide allows an experienced user to easily and quickly set up and conﬁgure a DSC 301 HD using step by step instructions. It covers how to perform basic operations using the front panel controls and selected Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands.

NOTE: For full installation, configuration, menus, connector wiring, and operation details, see the DSC 301 HD User Guide, available

Mounting and Cabling

Step 1 — Mounting

Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and rack mount the DSC 301 HD unit with either an optional shelf mounting brackets (RSU 126 or 129, RSB 126 or 129) or optional furniture mounting brackets (MBU 125); see ﬁgures 1 and 2 at right. When rack mounting, an optional rack false face plate (RFF 052) can be ﬁtted on top of the low proﬁle DSC, improving the overall look within the rack.

Step 2 — Connecting inputs

Connect inputs from video sources to the applicable connectors marked “Inputs”:

b Composite video, c RGB, R-Y, Y, B-Y, d HDMI (with or without embedded

digital audio). Connect inputs from analog audio sources to the TRS inputs e.

Step 3 — Connecting outputs

Connect a suitable output display device to the connector marked “Output” (see f above) for HDMI output with embedded audio.

Step 4 — Connecting control devices

RS-232 — For serial RS-232 control, connect a host computer or control system to the 3-pole captive screw connector g. RS-232 protocol (default values): 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, 8 data bits, no ﬂow control.

USB — Connect a host computer or control system to the front panel mini USB port for conﬁguration and control via Extron Conﬁgurator software.

Step 5 — Connecting power

DC power connector — Plug in a 12 VDC, 1A max power source into this 2-pole captive screw connector a.

Status LED — This LED lights amber when there is power but no signal, and green when power and signal are both present.

Front panel mini USB conﬁguration port — Connect a control system or computer to this mini USB port (cable not supplied), for

device conﬁguration, control, and ﬁrmware upgrading.

Input selection buttons and LEDs (1-3) — Select/switch inputs; LEDs indicate which input is active (current input lights green).

HDCP content LEDs — These LEDs indicate HDCP status for input and output signals;

• Light green when an input or output signal is HDCP encrypted.

• Remain unlit when a current input or HDMI output is not HDCP encrypted.

• Flash amber when the video output has been disabled (such as when in sync mute of screen saver mode).

Menu navigation buttons (Menu, Enter) — These buttons allow navigation through the OSD menu system of the DSC 301 HD.

Adjust knobs — These are used with the menu navigation buttons to adjust the device settings and picture controls.

Setting the Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes)

The DSC 301 HD has three modes of front panel security lock that limit the operation of the unit from the front panel.

Executive mode 0 (disabled) — The front panel is fully unlocked. This is the default setting. Executive mode 1 (enabled) — The front panel is completely locked. Can only be enabled and disabled using SIS commands, or

Extron Conﬁgurator software. See the online DSC 301 HD User Guide or the rear page of this guide for SIS commands. Executive mode 2 (enabled) — The front panel is locked except for input switching.

Configuring the DSC 301 HD

DSC 301 HD devices can be conﬁgured through a host connected via RS-232 or USB and using Extron Conﬁgurator software or Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands (see rear page for a selection of basic commands).

On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu System

The scaler has an OSD menu consisting of nine submenus that can be accessed using the front panel Menu and Enter buttons. The Communication menu and the Device Info menu are read-only menus. The menus are:

• Quick Setup • User Presets • Picture Controls • Input • Output

• Audio • Advanced • Communication • Device Info.

To use any menu:

1. Press the Menu button to access the main menu.

2. Rotate either Adjust knob to cycle through to the desired menu.

3. Press the Enter button to access the submenu.

4. Rotate either Adjust knob to cycle through the submenu to the

desired option.

5. Press the Enter button to adjust a submenu variable.

Using the OSD menu to configure the DSC 301 HD

z Use the Quick Setup menu to Auto-Image the current input, set video input format, input EDID settings, set output resolution,

audio mute and video test patterns.

z Use the User Presets menu to save the picture control adjustments to each input for later manual recall.

z Use the Picture Controls menu to adjust the image horizontal and vertical position and size, the brightness and contrast

settings, the color and tint levels, and the detail settings as needed.

z Use the Input menu to perform an Auto-Image on the current input, set the video input format and film mode, horizontal and

vertical start, the number of active horizontal pixels and vertical lines, set the total pixels and phase, set HDCP authorization to on or off, and set the EDID for the current input.

z Use the Output menu to set output resolution, set the HDMI output format, set HDCP notification, and set the Accu-RATE Frame

Lock™ (AFL™) to on or off.

z Use the Audio menu to set and control the

audio mute, the audio input format for the selected input, and set the analog gain and attenuation levels.

z Use the Advanced Configuration menu

to select a test pattern, adjust screen saver settings, turn on or off Auto Image, set aspect ratio (Fill or Follow), turn the auto memory on or off, adjust the overscan settings, choose the auto switch priorities, and reset the unit back to factory defaults.

z Use the Communication menu to view the

RS-232 baud rate.

z Use the Device Info menu to view the status such as temperature, firmware build, input, output, AFL, HDCP, and display details.

This is a read-only menu.

DSC 301 HD Configuration Software

To conﬁgure the unit using the DSC 301 HD Conﬁguration software, the software must be installed (from the included DVD or from

www.extron.com) on a PC connected to the

DSC 301 HD via an RS-232 or via the front panel USB conﬁg port. Installation creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\DSC 301 HD folder and installs the program, a help ﬁle, and an uninstall utility. After installation, start the program and either connect via the comm (RS-232) port or by USB. For full instructions press <F1> or click on Help>Contents.

Audio Input Format Details

Analog TRS 1 Sets selected input to analog TRS 1 (default for input 1).

Analog TRS 2 Sets selected input to analog TRS 2 (default for input 2)

Analog TRS 3 Sets selected input to analog TRS 3.

LPCM-2Ch Digital Sets selected input to LPCM-2Ch digital audio (default for input 3).

Upgrading the Firmware

The onboard ﬁrmware of the DSC 301 HD unit can be upgraded via the conﬁguration software when connected via the front panel USB port. Alternatively upgrades can be made using the Extron Firmware Loader program, which is available online at www.extron.com.

Output Scaler Rates

Output rates can be set using the OSD menu or SIS commands. The table below gives the most commonly used rates and the corresponding SIS variables. See rear page for SIS command input.

The command to set the output rate is

EX2!

RATE}, where

X2!

is the output scaler rate as given in the example table below (* = default).

See the DSC 301 HD User Guide (available at www.extron.com) for the full SIS and output scaler rate details.

X2! = 10 through 92)

Output Rate Reset

If an output image cannot be displayed due to an incompatible output rate, the DSC 301 HD can be reset via the front panel to either 1024x768 @ 60 Hz or 720p @ 60 Hz.

To set the rate, or to toggle between 1024x768 @ 60 Hz and 720p @ 60 Hz:

Press and hold input buttons 1 and 3 simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds. The output rate becomes 1024x768 @ 60 Hz. Again press and hold input buttons 1 and 3 simultaneously for another 3 seconds and the output rate becomes 720p @ 60 Hz.

NOTES: The output rate will subsequently toggle between 1024x768 @ 60 Hz and 720p @ 60 Hz every 3 seconds each time inputs 1

and 3 are simultaneously pressed and held for 3 seconds.
