Introduction

This manual contains information about the Extron® DVS 304 Series of scalers with

instructions for experienced installers on how to install, conﬁgure, and operate the equipment.

In this manual the terms “DVS,” “digital video scaler,” and “scaler” are used interchangeably and refer to any DVS 304 Series model.

DVS 304 Series Description

The DVS 304 Series of digital video scalers is comprised of DVS 304 and DVS 304 DVI

models

• DVS 304, DVS 304 D, DVS 304 A, and DVS 304 AD

• DVS 304 DVI, DVS 304 DVI D, DVS 304 DVI A, and DVS 304 DVI AD

They are available as half rack, non-audio models or full rack size models with balanced/ unbalanced audio.

• Half rack: DVS 304, DVS 304 D, DVS 304 DVI, DVS 304 DVI D

• Full rack: DVS 304 A, DVS 304 AD, DVS 304 DVI A, and DVS 304 AD:

All models are 4-input, 1-output, high performance RGB and video scalers, providing

scaling solutions for boardrooms, conference rooms, and home theaters, as well as

rental and staging applications. The DVS 304 series scales from composite video, S-video, component (Y, R-Y, B-Y) video, and RGB video to computer-video (RGBHV/RGBS/RGsB) or HD component.

The four inputs of all DVS models accommodate composite video, S-video, component video, and RGB. The fourth input is fully congurable to accept any available analog video format from composite video to RGBHV. Additionally, with the exclusive Auto Input Format Detection mode, the DVS 304 devices automatically detect and then process the incoming

signal format to this input.

The DVS 304 Series audio models offer four input audio switching for stereo unbalanced

or balanced sources, with gain and attenuation controls available for each input. All audio connections are on captive screw connectors for ease of integration, and output volume

control eliminates the need for a separate audio preamplier in many A/V systems.

DVS 304 Models

On these models, two identical, scaled outputs are available on 15-pin HD and BNC connectors. A total of 69 output scan rates are available from VGA (640x480) to UXGA (1600x1200) resolution, as well as HDTV at 720p, 1080i, and 1080p/60 Hz.

NOTE: See the Resolution and Refresh Rate table in the Operation section, page 15,

for a comprehensive list.

DVS 304 Series • Introduction 1

Page 7

DVS 304 DVI Models

Features

The DVS 304 DVI offers simultaneous digital and analog scaled outputs through the DVI-I port. Simultaneous analog scaled output is also available on BNC connectors. A total of 70 output scan rates are available from VGA (640x480) to WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution, as well as HDTV at 720p, 1080i, and 1080p/60 Hz.

In addition the DVS 304 DVI features EDID Minder, which enables automatic and continuous management of the EDID information between the computer-video input

source and the display, ensuring that the source powers up properly and reliably outputs content to the display.

Four inputs —

• Input 1 – One BNC connector accepts composite video.

• Input 2 – Three BNC connectors accept composite video, S-video, or component

video.

• Input 3 – A 4-pin mini-DIN connector accepts an S-video signal.

• Input 4 – A 15-pin HD connector accepts an RGB, component video, S-video, or

composite video signal.

• SDI video input (optional) – One BNC connector accepts SDI video. During setup, the

SDI input is assigned to input 1, 2, 3, or 4 (the default is none).

RGB and video scaling — Provides a high performance scaling engine with the capacity to scale standard deﬁnition video, high deﬁnition video, and computer-video signals up or down in resolution.

Picture control — Allows size, position, brightness, contrast, color, tint, detail, zoom and pan adjustments for each input.

Picture-In-Picture — Allows for a low resolution (YUVi, S-video, composite video, and SDI) input and a high resolution (VGA and YUVp/HDTV) input to be displayed

simultaneously.

Memory and input presets — Memory presets save sizing, positioning, and picture control settings.

Input presets (on input 4 only) save input conguration, picture control, and OSD (on-screen display) text.

Auto-Image™ — Auto-Image automatically sizes, centers, and optimizes the image to that of the scaled output rate, ﬁlling the window with the image.

IP Link® — IP Link-enabled products offer an integrated Web server with high performance architecture, global compatibility with industry standard Ethernet communication protocols, multi-user support, and a Web-based asset management

application speciﬁcally designed to work with products that include IP Link technology.

DVS 304 Series • Introduction 2

Page 8

Buffered video outputs —

• DVS 304 models – Five rear-panel BNC connectors and one VGA-type 15-pin HD

connector provide connections for RGB or Y, R-Y, B-Y output. Both outputs are active

at all times for simultaneous output.

• DVS 304 DVI models – Five rear-panel BNC connectors and one DVI-I connector

provide analog and digital output (DVI-I) and analog output (BNC). All outputs are active at all times for simultaneous output of RGB or Y, R-Y, B-Y. DVI-D output is disabled for RGB pass-though.

Device control — The scaler has four methods of control: by its front panel, via a

computer or other RS-232/Ethernet control device, using the optional IR 902 remote

control, or via the Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP).

Scaled outputs — The DVS 304 models offer 69 output rates and the DVS 304 DVI models offer 70 output rates.

RS-232 conﬁguration — All DVS 304 series units can be congured by using the Extron control software for Windows® or by using a control system.

Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — To prevent accidental changes to the unit’s settings, the scaler provides front panel lockout of all controls except input switching. A second executive mode completely disables all front panel controls.

3:2 pull down detection for NTSC and 2:2 ﬁlm detection for PAL video sources — These patented, advanced ﬁlm mode processing features help maximize image detail

and sharpness for video sources that originated from lm. When lm is converted to

NTSC video, the ﬁlm frame rate has to be matched to the video frame rate in a process

called 3:2 pull down. “Jaggies” and other image artifacts can result if conventional de-

interlacing techniques are used on ﬁlm-source video. The digital video scaler’s advanced ﬁlm mode processing recognizes signals that originated from ﬁlm. The scaler then applies video processing algorithms that optimize the conversion of video that was made with the

3:2 pull down process. This results in richly detailed images with sharply dened lines. A

similar process is used for PAL ﬁlm-source video.

Versatile mounting options — The non audio models are 1U high, half rack wide rack

mountable devices. Alternatively, they can be placed on a table or other furniture. Rubber feet are included.

The audio models are 1U high and full rack size and can be rack or desk mounted using

included rack or through-desk mounting brackets.

Controlling the DVS 304 Devices

All DVS 304 series devices can be controlled using one or more of the following methods:

• The front panel controls.

• A computer, a touch screen panel, or any other device that can send and receive

the serial communications through the RS-232 or Ethernet port. The Extron Simple

Instruction Set (SIS™) is a set of simple keystroke commands that can be used with any

such devices, and Extron control software for Windows provides a graphical interface

for controlling the scaler from a computer.

• The optional IR 902 remote control, replicating most of the front panel controls.

• Ethernet control via IP Link, enabling the scaler to be controlled and actively monitored

over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet.

DVS 304 Series • Introduction 3

Page 9

Options and Accessories

The DVS 304 series optional equipment includes:

• IR 902 remote control — The Extron IR 902 (part #70-495-01) is an infrared remote

control that replicates most of the front panel controls of the digital video scaler (except the Menu and Next buttons).

• SDI input card — Serial digital interface (SDI) input can be added to a DVS 304 model

by the installation of an SDI input card (part #70-168-01).

Remote (RS-232/contact closure) port — This 9-pin connector provides for two-

way RS-232 communication. See the “SIS Communication and Control” chapter for

information on how to install and use the control software and SIS commands.

The default protocol is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no ﬂow control.

The rear panel RS-232 9-pin D female connector has the following pin assignments:

Pin RS-232 Function Description

1 Input 1 Contact closure

3 Rx Receive data 4 Input 2 Contact closure

5 Ground Signal ground 6 Input 3 Contact closure

7 Input 4 Contact closure 8 - No connection

9 - Reserved

Figure 7. RS-232 Pin-out

The Remote connector also provides a way to select an input using a remote contact

closure device. Contact closure control uses pins on the RS-232 connector that are not used by the RS-232 interface (see preceding table).

To select a different input number using a contact closure device, short the pin for the desired input number to logic ground (pin 5).

NOTE: If contact closure is not in use, pins 1, 4, 6, and 7 should have no

connection.

Start Auto Image

Auto image an input to “auto size” and “auto center” the image to ll the screen. The

processor measures the sync frequencies from incoming video sources and uses an internal table to set the active image area, total image area, and the sampling frequency.

If an unknown input is connected to the unit, the processor measures and estimates the resolution of the incoming video.

The DVS 304 can be set to automatically auto-image newly detected inputs (see page 21).

Auto-Image

™

When enabled and a new input frequency is detected, the DVS rst 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.

With Auto Image disabled, the DVS 304 will apply default values to a new input if no Auto Memory exists (if Auto Memory is enabled). Default is Off.

See the table on page 21 for a full description of the interaction between the Auto-Image and Auto Memory settings.

NOTE: An input with a vertical refresh rate less than 40 Hz must be manually centered

and sized using H/V Start and H/V Active under the Input Cong menu. When a rate with a low vertical refresh rate (for example 720p 29.9 Hz) is applied and an Auto Image command is issued, the DVS 304 refers to the default values

instead of performing a true Auto-Image.

Blue mode

The Blue mode assists the user in setting up a scaler’s color and tint level. To use this feature, set this submenu to “On” so that only sync and blue video signals will be passed

to the display.

Use either the Adjust horizontal ([) or Adjust vertical ({) knob to select this mode. The default state is “Off”.

NOTE: The Blue mode has no effect for RGB pass-through mode on Input 4.

Auto switch mode

The Auto switch mode causes the highest numbered input having a signal present to be

automatically selected. For example, if both inputs 1 and 3 have active input signals, input 3 will be selected.

From this submenu, use either the Adjust horizontal ([) or Adjust vertical ({) knob to

specify this mode as “On” or “Off.” The default is “Off.”

NOTE: The Auto switch mode ignores the presence of an SDI input signal, so any input

that is assigned an active SDI signal will not be selected.

RGB delay

The RGB delay feature applies a brief delay before displaying a new picture to a screen and

allows the display device to adjust to the new sync timing. This feature provides

“no-glitch” switching. The blanking period can be set from 0 to 5 seconds in 0.5 second

steps.

DVS 304 Series • Operation 19

OSD label

Use the On-Screen Display (OSD) label menu to determine the time allotment for an input

label or a user deﬁned OSD label. Input labels are generic labels shown for inputs 1, 2

and 3. For input 4, the user can create a custom OSD label to display.

The OSD labels are displayed (white box, black text) in the top left corner.

The OSD label can be turned off by setting its duration to Off from the Advanced Conﬁguration menu.

For OSD text, note the following:

• Line 1 displays the input number.

• Line 2 displays the input type.

• Line 3 displays a text label that you can dene (input 4 only).

The display time can be set from 0 to 5 seconds in 1 second steps (default is 2 seconds).

Test pattern

Test patterns are useful for calibrating a display to the DVS 304 output. Choose a test

pattern to adjust the image using built in crop, alternating pixels, and color bars.

NOTE: • Alt Pixels — Used to calibrate display devices input sampling to the

DVS 304’s output. Use this pattern to adjust the clocking and phasing at the

display until no more vertical bands are visible.

• Crop — Used to center the DVS 304’s output on the display device: adjust H and V center on the display until all four crop lines are visible.

• Color Bars — Used to calibrate color settings on the display and to conrm proper system wiring.

Enhance mode

When the enhance mode is set to on, automatic gain control of the low resolution input

signal is enabled. If the input signal level is too weak, signal gain is increased, and if the input signal level is excessive, signal gain is decreased.

Using either the Adjust horizontal ([) or Adjust vertical ({) knob, select either On or Off as desired. The default is Off.

Refresh Lock

When Refresh Lock is enabled, the vertical output rate is locked to the current input’s

vertical refresh rate to prevent tearing and/or stuttering associated with frame conversion. This mode should be activated only when excessive stuttering and/or tearing is being experienced with an input signal.

Because the output’s vertical sync is linked to the current input’s vertical sync while in the

Refresh Lock mode, there may be a slight glitch in the output sync whenever a new source is applied to the scaler, or whenever a new input is selected. This is caused by the scaler instantly locking its refresh rate to that of the new input signal.

NOTE: The output refresh rate must be set equal to or greater than the incoming

video’s refresh rate or no video output will be displayed. If the incoming video’s vertical rate differs signiﬁcantly from the set output refresh rate, no video will be displayed.

Auto Memory

The DVS 304 stores 16 auto memories with input and picture control data for each input.

The default settings enables these memories to automatically recall input and picture

controls for signals that have been previously applied. By disabling auto memories, the DVS 304 will treat every newly applied input as a new source. Default is on.

Aspect Mode

The aspect mode setting is global, and allows the user to select between each input signal ﬁlling the entire output raster (Fill), or for each input rate to be displayed with its native aspect ratio (Follow - default setting).

When in the Fill mode, if an aspect ratio adjustment for a single input rate is desired, the desired setting (4x3 or 16x9) can be made in the input cong menu by adjusting the

aspect ratio setting. If auto memories is enabled, then this setting is saved and recalled the next time the signal is detected.

It is strongly recommended that the aspect ratio mode setting be used on initial setup of

the DVS, or input rates that have not already been saved as auto memories may not be

displayed as expected. This can be overcome by clearing the auto memories on the input in question, and is done by holding in the front panel Menu button and the applicable input button simultaneously for four seconds. Alternatively it can be cleared on a rate by rate basis by applying a one time auto image.

Picture-in-picture mode

The DVS 304 can display two image sources on the screen simultaneously. Keep in mind

that when using the PIP feature, one image source must be low-resolution (composite,

S-video, YUVi and RGBcvS) video, while the other must be high resolution (YUVp/HDTV, RGB scaled, SDI) video. If these conditions are not met (for example, two low resolution

video inputs or two high resolution inputs are selected), the PIP mode will exit.

To go into picture-in-picture mode, do the following:

1. Select an input for the main window.

2. Deﬁne the size of the main window before starting PIP mode.

3. Activate the PIP mode via an SIS command or IR remote; specify the PIP window input.

DVS 304 checks the input format for the PIP window and returns an error message if an

invalid selection is made.

NOTE: For quick sizing setup, use the 16*# X10% SIS command to set different sizes for

the PIP window.

When the PIP mode is active, note the following:

• The LED for the main window input is ON.

• The parameters of the PIP window are adjustable from the front panel or by SIS

commands only.

• Any change in conﬁguration (except positioning) of the PIP window is saved to that

input even after the PIP mode is not longer active.

• The PIP window input is listed under the default cycle on front panel menu, as shown

below.

When the PIP window is active, size, position, and picture controls all apply to 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.

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.

Changing the input

To change the input for the PIP and/or main window, determine if the corresponding input is a 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.

Using the 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 4 (RGB scaled) and the PIP window is Input 1

(composite), applying the swap command results in Input 1 becoming the main window

and Input 4 the PIP window.

For audio models (DVS 304 A, DVS 304 AD, DVS 304 DVI A, and DVS 304 DVI AD), you

can set audio to follow the main (default) or PIP window. Audio breakaway is not possible

while PIP mode is on; audio must follow either the main window or the PIP window.

Resetting the Unit

There are four unit reset modes (numbered 1, 3, 4, and 5), These are available by pressing

the recessed Reset button on the rear panel with a pointed stylus, pen, or similar to access it. See the following table for a summary of the reset modes.

CAUTION: Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result

in unintended loss of ﬂash memory programming, port reassignment, or processor reboot.

NOTE: The reset modes listed 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.

DVS 304 Reset Mode Summary

Mode Activation Result Purpose and Notes

1 Hold down the recessed Reset button

while applying power to the unit.

The DVS 304 reverts to the factory default firmware. Event scripting does not

start if the unit is powered on in this mode. All user ﬁles and settings (such as drivers, adjustments, and IP settings) 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

DVS 304 rmware version that results

from the mode 1 reset. This mode

Use Factory Firmware

Run/Stop Events

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.

3 Hold down the Reset button for

about 3 seconds until the Power LED

blinks once, then release and press

Reset momentarily (<1 second) within 1 second*.

4 Hold down the Reset button for

about 6 seconds until the Power

LED blinks twice (once at 3 seconds,

again at 6 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).

Mode 3 turns events on or off. If the events are currently stopped after the

momentary press, the power LED ashes

twice, indicating the starting of events. If the events are currently running after the

momentary press, the Power LED ashes three

times indicating the stopping of events.

Mode 4:

• Enables ARP capability

• Sets the IP address back to factory default

(192.168.254.254)

• Sets the subnet back to factory default

• Sets the default gateway address to the

factory default

NOTE: User-dened Web pages

may not work correctly if using an earlier ﬁrmware version.

Mode 3 is useful for troubleshooting.

Mode 4 enables you to set IP address

information using ARP and the MAC address.

• Sets port mapping back to factory default

• Turns events off

Mode 5 performs a complete reset to factory defaults (except the firmware).

• Does everything mode 4 does

• Clears driver-port associations and port

conﬁgurations

• Removes button conﬁgurations

• Resets all IP options

Mode 5 is useful if you want to start over with conﬁguration and uploading, and also to replace events.

• Removes scheduling settings

• Removes/clears all ﬁles from the unit

Front Panel Lockout (Executive Modes)

To prevent accidental changes to settings, press the Menu and Next buttons

simultaneously for 2 seconds to enable the DVS 304’s front panel lockout mode, also

known as executive mode 1.

Executive mode 1 locks all front panel functions except input switching and preset recall.

The menu system returns to the default menu within 10 seconds. The DVS 304’s front

panel is affected by executive mode, but the IR 902 remote is not. See “IR 902 Infrared

Remote Control” later in this guide for information.

When executive mode 1 is active, all functions and adjustments can still be made through RS-232 control. For details on RS-232 control, see “Communications and Control”.

Setting up the DVS to Work with a Matrix Switcher

The Sync to Matrix tool is a powerful tool that can simplify the control system necessary

when using an Extron matrix switcher and a DVS 304.

The Sync to Matrix script can sense when a new tie is made on the matrix is routed to the

DVS and automatically recalls the input preset associated with the input on the matrix

switcher. The input preset recalls all the settings for the input including the signal format, input sampling settings, and picture controls.

3. On the DVS 304, congure the input as follows:

a. Switch to input 4 on the DVS.

b. Set the following input sampling settings as desired: signal type, horizontal and

vertical start, pixel phase, total pixels, active pixels, and active lines.

NOTE: Do not use auto detect setting for the input type when using input

presets. It is also recommended to disable auto image and auto memory when using input presets.

c. Set the following picture controls as desired: size, position, color, tint, brightness,

contrast, and detail.

d. Save the adjusted settings as input preset 1. Refer to the “SIS Communication and

Control” chapter for the SIS commands to save the preset.

NOTE: Each input preset must be saved with the same number as the input

on the matrix switcher. For example, input 24 on the matrix will be associated with the input preset 24 on the DVS.

e. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each input on the matrix that is to be used on the

DVS 304.

4. Synchronize the DVS to the matrix switcher as follows:

a. Open the Signal Processing Products Control Program and connect to the DVS.

NOTE: Connection must be via IP (not RS-232).

b. From the Tools menu, select Sync Scaler to Matrix Switcher... .

The Sync DVS304 to Matrix Switcher window opens.

c. In the IP Address ﬁeld, enter the matrix switcher’s IP address.

d. Click Connect to Matrix button. The matrix switcher’s size is displayed

below the button.

e. From the drop-down list Matrix Output feeding DVS (within the DVS

Input #4 section), select the matrix output number that is connected to input 4 on the DVS 304.

DVS 304 Series • Operation 27

Page 33

f. Click the Take button to tie the DVS 304’s input to the selected switcher

output. The program creates a custom script that is then be loaded onto the DVS 304. The Status box updates with the status of the script on the DVS 304, showing if the DVS 304’s script is connected to the matrix switcher, and showing the current tie associated with the selected output.

Using the DVS and Matrix Switcher After the DVS is Synchronized to the Matrix Switcher

After completing step 4, above, ensure the following is done when using the DVS with the

matrix:

• Perform all input switching using the matrix switcher. A 1-second RGB delay on the

matrix is recommended to minimize the appearance of a glitch in the output while the

DVS locks onto the new signal.

• The DVS senses when the matrix switcher changes input ties, and the DVS recalls the

matching input preset, so input presets need not be recalled manually.

• The DVS 304 and the matrix switcher must remain on the same subnet. Do not

change the matrix switcher’s IP address. If the IP address of the matrix is altered,

repeat step 4 above.

Removing the Sync to Matrix Script

If the Sync to Matrix feature is no longer being used, the script can be removed from the

DVS by the following steps:

1. Open the Signal Processing Products Control Program and connect to the DVS via IP

(not RS-232).

2. Under the Tools menu, select Sync DVS 304 to Matrix Switcher... . The

Sync DVS 304 to Matrix Switcher window opens.

3. Click Remove Script.

Minimizing Synchronization Problems Without Using the Sync to Matrix

Feature

This section describes how to manually implement the equivalent of the Sync to Matrix

feature without using a script loaded on the DVS 304, and instead relying on a control

system.

When operating the system using a manually congured control system (for which Sync to

Matrix has not been set up), you can avoid synchronization problems that cause unwanted image blanking or scrambling during input switches by doing the following:

NOTE: If the Sync to Matrix feature has been previously used, ﬁrst see Removing

the Sync to Matrix Script section above.

1. While setting up the switcher and the DVS to work together, set the RGB delay on the

matrix switcher, so it is equal to or greater than 1.0 second.

2. Create a tie on the matrix switcher from the desired input X to the output number

that corresponds to the DVS 304’s input 4.

3. Immediately (within 1 second) recall the input preset on the DVS 304 associated with

the input X on the matrix switcher.

NOTE: Input presets cannot be recalled via the DVS 304’s front panel. You can

recall them via SIS commands (see the“SIS Communication and Control”

chapter).

DVS 304 Series • Operation 29

Page 35

SIS Communication

and Control

The DVS 304 can congured 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. Control is made using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) of commands, or by using the Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP), or the devices internal HTML Web pages.

This section describes SIS communication and control. Topics that are covered include:

• Host to Scaler Communications

• Command 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 9-pin, D connector has the following pin assignments:

Pin RS-232 Function Description

1 Input #1 Contact closure

2 Tx Transmit data

3 Rx Receive data

4 Input #2 Contact closure

5 Gnd Signal ground

6 Input #3 Contact closure

7 Input #4 Contact closure

8 - No connection

9 - Reserved

NOTE: If contact closure is not in use, pins 1, 4, 6, and 7 should have no connection.

Host to Scaler Communications

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 304 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 = ]), signalling 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 304

scaler responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the host. Some scaler-initiated messages are listed here.

In X! All ] Reconﬁg ] (where X! is the input number). The DVS 304 sends this response when an

input is switched or when a new signal is detected.

The copyright message is displayed upon connecting to IP Link product via TCP/IP or Telnet. Vx.xx is the rmware version number. The current date and time are displayed. This is followed by a Password prompt if a password has been set.

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 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 304 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

• E10 — Invalid command

• E11 — Invalid preset number

• E12 — Invalid port number

• E13 — Invalid parameter

• E14 — Not valid for this conguration

Using the Command and Response Tables

The following are either Telnet (port 23) or Web browser (port 80) commands. There are

some minor differences when you are implementing these commands via Telnet or via

URL encoding using a Web browser. All commands listed below will work using either connection method but, due to some limitations of the Web browser, the encapsulation characters are modied to make sure that the Web browser will properly handle them. All examples in the tables show proper implementation in a Telnet or Web browser session.

NOTE: Note for Web browsers: all non-alphanumeric characters must be represented

as their hex equivalent, such as %xx where xx equals the two character representation of the hex byte that needs to be sent (for example, a comma would be represented 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. This would in practice 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 you need to prex them with the full URL followed by ?cmd=. See the “URL Encoding” section, later in this chapter.

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} = data that is directed to a speciﬁed port and must be encoded if non-alphanumeric.

The Command and Response table for SIS commands later in this chapter lists the

commands that the DVS 304 scaler recognizes as valid, the responses that are returned

to the host, a description of the command’s function or the results of executing the

command, and an example of each command in ASCII (Telnet) and URL Encoded (Web).

NOTE: Upper and lower case text can be used interchangeably except where noted.

Signal Processing Products Control

Program

The Extron Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP) offers another way to control the DVS 304 via RS-232 or Ethernet connection in addition to the SIS commands.

This section describes SPPCP installation, communication, and control. Topics that are covered, include:

• Installing the Software

• Starting the SPPCP

• Using the SPPCP

The program’s graphical interface includes the same functions as those on the scaler’s front panel with additional features that are only available through the software.

The control software is compatible with Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. The Signal Processing Products Control Program is included on the Extron DVD, and updates can be downloaded from the Extron Web site (http://www.extron.com).

NOTE: The control program require approximately 32 MB of hard disk space.

Installing the Software

The SPPCP software can be installed onto the hard drive of a connected PC either directly

from the supplied DVD, or downloaded from the Extron Web site.

Installation from the DVD

1. Insert the DVD into the applicable drive. The DVD self starts.

NOTE: The DVD starts only if you have a DVD drive on your PC.

The Extron software window appears.

2. If the disc does not start automatically, run LAUNCH.EXE from the disc.

DVS 304 Series • SPPCP 54

Page 60

3. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

By default, the installation creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\Signal Processing directory and places a shortcut icon in it.

Installation from the Web Site

1. On the Extron Web site (www.extron.com), select the Download tab.

2. On the Download Center screen, select Software from the side-bar menu on the

left.

3. Locate the Signal Processing Products Control Program ﬁle from the list and click on it.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to download the program to your PC.

Starting the SPPCP

1. Click Start > Programs > Extron Electronics > Signal Processing

> Signal Processing Products Control Program.

Alternatively, if an icon was installed on the desktop, the SPPCP can be started by clicking on the icon. The Select Connection Type window appears.

2. Either choose the comm (serial) port that is connected to the DVS 304 or select the

TCP/IP tab.

NOTE: For a comm port, check the baud rate displayed in the comm port selection

window. To change the baud rate, click the Baud button, select the desired rate. To exit without starting the program, click Cancel.

If you selected a serial port in step 2 click OK. The control program is ready for operation.

3. If you selected TCP/IP tab in step 2, the TCP/IP Connection window appears.

a. Examine the IP Address eld, which displays the last IP address entered, or the

2. Click in the browser’s Address ﬁeld.

3. Enter the unit’s IP address in the browser’s Address eld.

NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory-

specied default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this eld.

4. If you want the browser to display a page other than the default page (such as a

custom page that you have created and uploaded), enter a slash (/) and the ﬁle name to open.

NOTE: The browser’s Address ﬁeld should display the address in the following

format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/{optional_file_name.html}

The following characters are invalid in le names: {space} ~ @ = ‘ [ ] { }

< > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.

5. Press the keyboard Enter key. The DVS 304 checks

7. Click OK.

The scaler checks several possibilities, in the following order, and then responds accordingly:

• Does the address include a speciﬁc ﬁle name, such as 10.13.156.10/file_

name.html? If so, the DVS 304 downloads that HTML page.

• Is there a le in the scaler’s memory that is named “index.html”?

If so, the scaler downloads “index.html” as the default start-up page.

• If neither of the above conditions is true, the scaler downloads the factory-installed

default start-up page, “nortxe_index.html”, also known as the System Status page.

Navigating the Default Web Pages

The DVS 304 default Web pages include four tabs (Status, Conguration, File

Management, and Control) for easy navigation of several administrative options including system status, password control, ﬁle management, and scaler settings.

Status

The Status tab displays the System Status page for the DVS 304.

System Status page

Serial Digital Interface (SDI) Card Installation

Remove Screws (8)

J16

The optional SDI card may be installed in the scaler if it does not already have an input

for a serial digital interface signal. We recommend that you send the unit in to Extron for

service and updates.

NOTE: Changes to electronic components must be performed by authorized service personnel

only.

Follow these steps to install an SDI card in the DVS 304.

1. Disconnect the AC power cord from the DVS 304 to remove power from the unit.

WARNING: To prevent electric shock, always unplug the DVS 304 scaler from the AC

power source before opening the enclosure.

2. Remove the scaler from the rack or furniture.

3. Remove the cover of the scaler (the top half of the enclosure) by removing the screws,

then slide the cover back to clear the connectors and lift it straight up (gure B-1).

WARNING: Do not touch any switches or other electronic components inside the

scaler. Doing so could damage the scaler. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can

damage IC chips even though you cannot feel it. You must be electrically grounded before proceeding with any electronic component replacement. A grounding wrist strap is recommended..

4. Locate the SDI card standoff located near the middle rear portion of the main circuit

board (looking from above with the front panel nearest to you)

5. Remove the plastic SDI cover from the rear SDI connector opening of the scaler and

position the SDI card at an angle with the SDI connector protruding from the rear SDI connector opening.

6. The SDI card has a 20-pin socket on the underside which should align with the 20

pins on the main circuit board. Be sure to align the pins properly, in order to prevent

bending the pins, before pressing the SDI card ﬁrmly in place against the standoff. The mounting hole on the SDI card should now be directly over the standoff.

7. Insert the card’s installation screw through the SDI card’s mounting hole and gently

tighten it into the standoff.

8. Install the SDI connector’s hex nut and keep the SDI card from twisting as the nut is

tightened.

9. Replace the top cover on the DVS 304 scaler, and fasten it with the screws that were

removed in step 3.

10. Rack/furniture mount the scaler, if desired, and reconnect the AC power cord
