About this Guide

This guide contains information about the Extron DVS 510 Series of switching scalers
with instructions for experienced installers on how to install, configure, and operate the
equipment.

In this guide, the terms “DVS,” “DVS 510,” and “scaler” are used interchangeably to refer to
DVS 510 and the DVS 510 SA scalers.

The DVS 510 Series Scalers

The Extron DVS 510 Series scalers are 10-input, multi-format presentation switching scalers
that accept and scale DVI, RGB, YUVp/HDTV, YUVi, S-video, and composite video signals
to a common, high resolution output rate. With simultaneous DVI and two analog RGB/YUV
outputs, the DVS 510 can integrate analog and digital video devices, and HDCP compliance
enables integration of Blu-ray Disc players and cable or satellite HD receivers. The DVS 510
also offers flexible control options, including front panel controls, Ethernet, RS-232 or
RS-422, and infrared (IR).

The DVS 510 also includes 10-input stereo audio switching to accompany incoming video
sources. Gain and attenuation adjustment is provided for each input, and the DVS 510
provides master volume control on the front panel. Also included are bass and treble
controls, as well as integrated audio delay to maintain audio sync with the processed video
output.

The DVS 510 is available in two configurations: the standard DVS 510, which offers fixed
and variable line level audio outputs, and the DVS 510 SA, which adds an integrated stereo
amplifier with 25 watts rms output per channel into 4 or 8 ohms.

DVS 510 Series • Introduction 1

Features

The DVS 510 provides the following features:

• Video upscaling and downscaling — DVI, RGB computer video, high definition

video, and standard definition video sources can all be scaled to the desired output
resolution. The DVS 510 scaling engine provides high quality upscaling and downscaling
of high resolution computer video signals.

• High Performance Video Processing — A high performance 30-bit scaling engine

is able to scale standard definition video, HDTV, and RGB signals up or down in
resolution. It accepts computer video signals up to 1920x1200 and HDTV 1080p/60.
It outputs DVI and analog RGB or component video at selectable output rates from
640x480 to 1920x1200 resolution and HDTV rates of up to 1080p/60.

• EDID Minder — The Extron EDID Minder automatically manages the Extended Display

Identification Data (EDID) for all the DVI and VGA input sources. By default, VGA
and DVI input EDIDs match the current output resolution of the scaler. Also available
is a user assigned mode, which allows pre-stored EDID, based on a user selected
resolution, to be manually assigned to the sources. By maintaining continuous EDID
communication with all sources, EDID Minder ensures that all DVI and VGA sources
power up properly and maintain their video outputs whether or not they are actively
connected to the display device through the scaler outputs.

• Inputs — The DVS 510 has two composite video inputs on BNC connectors, two

S-video inputs on 4-pin mini DIN connectors, two RGB/YUV inputs on 15-pin HD
connectors, and two digital and two analog RGB/YUV inputs on DVI-I connectors.
Stereo balanced and unbalanced audio for each input is provided on 3.5 mm, 5-pole
captive screw connectors

• Outputs — The DVS 510 has a scaled DVI-D video output on a DVI-I connector, two

scaled RGB/YUV outputs on 15-pin HD connectors, and two audio outputs (one fixed
and one variable) providing balanced and unbalanced stereo audio on 3.5 mm 5-pole
captive screw connectors. The DVS 510 SA also has an amplified output on a 5 mm,
4-pole captive screw connector.

• Simultaneous DVI and analog RGB or HD component video outputs — A DVI-D

and two analog RGB/YUV outputs are provided for driving up to three display devices.

• Selectable output rates — Available output rates include computer video up to

1920x1200, HDTV rates up to 1080p/60, and 2048x1080.

• HDCP compliance — The DVS 510 fully supports HDCP-encrypted signals.

• Active HDCP verification — The DVS 510 provides real-time verification of HDCP

status for each DVI input and output. This allows for quick signal and HDCP verification
through RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet.

• HDCP Visual Confirmation — The DVS 510 outputs a full-screen green signal and

an on-screen message when an HDCP compliant source is routed to a non-HDCP
compliant display, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content
cannot be viewed on the selected display.

• Image freeze control — A live image can be frozen through RS-232 or RS-422 serial

control and through Ethernet control.

• Auto-Image setup — Enables the DVS 510 to automatically analyze the incoming

video signal for each input and adjust sizing, centering, and filtering to optimize image
quality. This can save time and effort in fine tuning displayed images.

• Auto memories — Enables the DVS 510 to store size, position, and picture settings

based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected again, these image
settings are recalled from memory.

DVS 510 Series • Introduction 2

• PIP (picture-in-picture) — Allows a video source to be displayed within a high

resolution image, or vice versa. Audio switching can be set to follow either the main or
PIP window.

• Glitch-free switching — Switching between sources occurs without distortions or

glitches with selectable cut or fade-to-black transitions.

• Customizable front panel control buttons — The tricolored, backlit pushbuttons on

the front panel can be custom-labeled.

• Power Save Mode — The DVS 510 can be set to mute video and sync output to

the display device when no active input signal is detected. This allows the projector or
flat-panel display to automatically enter into standby mode to save energy and enhance
lamp or panel life.

• HDMI signals support — When used with optional Extron HDMI-DVI adapters, the

DVI inputs and output on the DVS 510 are compatible with HDMI. The DVS 510 fully
passes audio and auxiliary data as part of the HDMI signal, ensuring audio and video
compatibility with downstream HDMI-equipped devices.

• Audio switching and output volume control — The DVS 510 features audio

switching for 10 stereo balanced or unbalanced input sources, and provides master
volume control and muting as well as bass and treble controls. 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.

• Audio or video breakaway — Lets you break an audio signal away from its

corresponding video signal and route it to the audio outputs, allowing the audio
channels to be operated as a separate scaler.

• Integrated audio delay — Delays the audio output automatically to compensate for

latency introduced by the video processing.

• Amplifier (DVS 510 SA only) — The DVS 510 SA has a stereo power amplifier with 25

watts rms per channel into 4 or 8 ohms. The Class D amplifier design includes CDRS™
– Class D Ripple Suppression, an Extron patented technology that provides a smooth,
clean audio waveform and an improvement in signal fidelity over conventional Class D
amplifier designs. CDRS eliminates the high frequency switching ripple characteristic
of Class D amplifiers, a source of RF emissions that can interfere with sensitive AV
equipment such as wireless microphones.

• The DVS 510 SA includes technology for the integrated amplifier that detects the onset

of clipping by comparing input and output signals. Gain is reduced with a slow attack
and fast release to eliminate clipping and protects the speakers from clipping distortion.

• Picture controls — Brightness, contrast, color, tint, detail, horizontal and vertical

positioning, sizing, and zoom can be set. 16 user memory presets are available for each
input to store all image settings.

• Automatic 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection — Advanced film mode processing

techniques help maximize image detail and sharpness for NTSC, PAL, and HDTV 1080i
sources that originated from film.

• Motion adaptive 1080i deinterlacing — High performance deinterlacing is provided

for 1080i signals from HD sources, including cable or satellite set-top devices, delivering
optimized image quality through advanced motion compensation.

• Aspect ratio control — The output can be designated to meet a specific aspect ratio

requirement so that the image fills the screen, or is displayed with compensation for the
native aspect ratio of the source.

• Quad standard video decoding — A digital, four-line adaptive comb filter decodes

NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM for integration into systems worldwide.

DVS 510 Series • Introduction 3

• Test patterns — 12 test patterns are provided for calibration and setup, including a

crop pattern, crosshatch, 16 bar grayscale, color bars, alternating pixels, ramp, white
field, 4 x 4 crosshatch, and four aspect ratio patterns (1.33, 1.78, 1.85, and 2.35).

• Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — When enabled, locks out all front

panel functions except for input selection (all functions remain available through RS-232,
RS-422, or IR remote control).

• Optional IR remote control — The optional Extron IR 904 handheld remote control

provides an additional method of input source switching, picture-in-picture, and direct
access to picture adjustments.

• Ethernet monitoring and control — The DVS 510 can be controlled and proactively

monitored over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet. Embedded web pages are included for
such common functions as input switching, volume control, and system configuration.

• RS-232 and RS-422 control — The DVS 510 can be controlled and configured via

Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands, a set of basic ASCII code commands that
allow for quick and easy programming via RS-232 or RS-422.

• Windows-based configuration and control software — The Signal Processing

Products Control Program (SPPCP) can be used to configure and control the DVS 510
via RS-232, RS-422, or Ethernet.

• Rack-mountable 2U, full rack width metal enclosure

• Internal universal power supply — The 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, international power

supply provides worldwide power compatibility.

DVS 510 Series • Installation 11

Wiring the Amplified Audio Port (DVS 510 SA Only)

To connect speakers to the DVS 510 SA built-in amplifier, terminate the speaker cable as
follows:

1. Strip the end of the cable 3/16 inches (5 mm).

ATTENTION:

• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal

length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). If the exposed portion is longer, the wires may
touch, causing a short circuit between them. If the exposed wires are shorter,
they can be easily pulled out, even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw

terminals and could pull out.

• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de les

dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont trop courts,
ils peuvent être tirés facilement, même s’ils sont correctement serrés par les
borniers à vis. S’ils sont trop longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et
provoquer un court-circuit.

• Ne pas étamer les câbles. Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés dans

les terminaisons des à vis captives et pourraient sortir.

2. Secure the wires into the supplied 4-pole captive screw connector.

ATTENTION:

• Do not short the + and - outputs to each other because this will damage the

amplifier.

• Ne pas créer un court-circuit entre les sorties + et - au risque d’endommager

l’amplificateur.

The following table shows which speaker wires to connect to the positive and negative
pins of the Amplified output connector.

With front panel input selection, audio always follows (switches with) the front panel
video selection.

Video and audio breakaway switching are available only via SIS commands (see

Remote Configuration and Control, beginning on page 48).

• Signal types — The input buttons listed below select connected sources that

support the following signal types:

• 1 and 2 — Composite

• 3 and 4 — S-video

• 5, 6, 7, and 9 — RGB (includes RGBHV, RGBS, RGBcvS, and RGsB) or

component video (YUVp/HDTV or YUVi)

• 8 and 10 — DVI

• Input button lighting — When an input button is pressed, it lights amber unless

the DVS is in picture-in-picture (PIP) mode (see Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Mode
on page 18 for more information). If the audio is broken away (switched separately
from the video), the button for the selected video input lights green and the button
for the selected audio input lights red.

• Auto-Image — If an input button is held for 3 seconds, the Auto-Image feature is

activated for that input, sizing and centering the selected image to fill the screen
(see Auto Image submenu on page 30).

• Input buttons in PIP mode — If the picture-in-picture (PIP) feature is enabled, the

input buttons select an input for either the background (primary) window or the PIP
(secondary) window. The primary input button lights amber and the secondary (PIP)
input button lights green. If the PIP feature is turned off, the input buttons select the
main output only, and no input button lights green.

If the PIP feature is on when an input is selected, the audio associated with that
input in the PIP window is muted. The audio does not become unmuted until either:

• It is swapped to the main window.

• An SIS Audio Follow command has been issued to configure the DVS to

make the audio follow the PIP window.

(See Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Mode for more information.)

PIP control buttons — When PIP is enabled, a secondary image from a second

B

source appears on the screen in front of the main image, in a previously selected size
and position. The default size of the PIP window is one-fourth screen and it is positioned
in the lower-right corner of the display.

The following two buttons control the picture-in-picture (PIP) function:

• PIP On/Off button — Turns PIP mode on and off (toggles between showing and

hiding the picture-in-picture on the display). This button lights when the DVS is in
PIP mode.

• PIP Swap button — Toggles the primary (main or background) and secondary

these controls).

CONFIG port — This configuration port on a 2.5 mm TRS connector is an alternative

H

to the RS232 port on the DVS rear panel. (For a description of the rear panel RS232
port, see Rear Panel on page 7).

NOTE: This port supports RS-232 communication only. Only the rear panel RS232

port supports both RS-232 and RS-422.

Both of the DVS serial ports can be used for system configuration and control.
Instructions are received through these ports from the computer via SIS commands or
the Signal Processing Products Control Program. Both serial ports can be active at the
same time.

The default protocol for this configuration port is:

• 9600 baud • 8 data bits • 1 stop bit

• No parity • No flow control

An optional 2.5 mm TRS configuration cable is available at www.extron.com and
can be used to connect your computer to this port (see Connecting to the RS-232

CONFIG Port (Front Panel) on page 11 for the configuration and pin assignments for

this cable).

Infrared sensor — This sensor receives infrared (IR) signals from the IR 904 remote

I

control (see Using the Optional IR 904 Remote Control on page 44 for details).

DVS 510 Series • Operation 16

Powering On

5 sec.

Apply power to the DVS by connecting the provided IEC power cord from the rear panel
power connector to an AC power source. The scaler performs a self-test during which all
the front panel buttons blink red, then green, then amber. At the same time, the initial two
power-up screens are displayed on the LCD screen. At the completion of the self-test, all
button lights turn off except for the previously selected Input button (Input 1 by default) and
the MENU and NEXT buttons, all of which continue to be lit amber. If picture-in-picture (PIP)
mode was enabled previously, the input button for the PIP source and the PIP On/Off
button light green. The LCD panel displays the default cycle.

If an error occurs during the self-test, the DVS locks up and does not operate. If this occurs,
call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline (see the rear cover for contact
information in your area).

When power is first applied to the DVS, the LCD panel displays Initializing Please Wait...,
then Extron, DVS 510 Vn.nn, where n.nn is the current firmware version. If the DVS
self-test completes successfully, the default cycle begins, in which the LCD panel display
alternates between the current output resolution and refresh rates, and the currently
selected input number, signal type, and horizontal and vertical frequencies. These two
screens continue to cycle on the screen when the menu system is not in use.

The flow diagram below shows the order in which the screens appear at power-up and in
the default cycle.

Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Mode

The picture-in-picture (PIP) feature lets the DVS display two image sources on the screen
simultaneously.

One of these image sources must be low-resolution (composite, S-video, YUVi, or RGBcvS)
video, while the other must be high resolution (YUVp/HDTV, RGB, or DVI) video.

• High resolution —Inputs 5 through 7 and 9 if they are configured as RGB (RGBHV,

RGBS or RGsB) or high-resolution component video YUVp/HDTV; inputs 8 and 10
(DVI).

• Low resolution —Inputs 1 through 4, and 5 through 9 when they are configured as

component video YUVi or RGBcvS

The PIP function toggles between the selected input in each resolution group. The PIP
function cannot toggle between two inputs in the same resolution group.

By default, the PIP image is one-fourth the size of the main window and is positioned in the
lower-right corner of the display.

NOTE: The size of the PIP window can be set in the menu system (see Enabling PIP

Mode on the next page). The position of the PIP window is set with the centering

adjustment (see Picture Controls on page 37 for details).

When PIP mode is active:

• The button for the main window input lights amber. The PIP input button lights green.

• All picture controls configure only the image in 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.

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

commands only.

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

that input even after the PIP mode is no longer active.

• The PIP window input is shown in the default cycle as the current input.

• 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.

• Audio and video breakaway are not allowed.

DVS 510 Series • Operation 18

Enabling PIP Mode

To enable picture-in-picture mode:

1. Select an input for the main window. The selected input button lights amber.

2. Configure the input for the main window as desired (see Input Configuration Menu on

page 23 and Picture Controls on page 37).

3. Press the PIP ON/OFF button to activate the PIP mode.

• The input button for the PIP window lights green.

• The PIP window appears on the screen in its previously displayed size and position.

Configure the PIP window as desired, using the same methods you used to configure the
main window in step 2.

You can also enable PIP via SIS commands (see the Picture-in-picture (PIP) commands
on page 62 in the Command and Response Table for DVS 510 SIS Commands), the
Windows-based control software (see the SPPCP help file), the web pages (see PIP Setup

Page on page 106), or using the IR remote control (see Using the Optional IR 904
Remote Control on page 44).

NOTE: The first time the DVS is placed in PIP mode, by default input 1 is

selected if the main input is high resolution, and input 5 is selected if the main
input is low resolution. If PIP mode has been enabled previously, the input
in the correct resolution category that was the PIP input most recently is
selected.

(On first activation, the PIP window appears in the default size and position.)

Changing the PIP Input

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

NOTE: The front panel buttons do not permit you to select two low-resolution or two

high-resolution inputs. For example, if you have selected input 1 (composite) for the
main window (the button is lit amber) and then you press the button for input 2 (also
composite), input 2 is selected for the main window (lights amber) and input 1 is
deselected.

Using the PIP 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 5 (RGB scaled) and the PIP window is input 1
(composite), applying the swap command results in input 1 becoming the main window and
input 5 the PIP window.

To swap the main window input with the PIP input, press the PIP SWAP button. The buttons
switch colors from amber to green and vice versa.

You can set audio to follow the main (default) window or the PIP window. Audio breakaway
is not possible while PIP mode is on. Audio must follow either the main window or the PIP
window.

Film Mode Detect

Enable and disable 3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC
and 2:2 film detection for PAL video sources.

3:2 and 2:2 pulldown (film modes) help maximize image
detail and sharpness for video sources that originated
from film. When film is converted to NTSC video, the
film frame rate must be matched to the video frame
rate. “Jaggies” and other image artifacts can result
if conventional deinterlacing techniques are used on
film-source video.

When film mode is enabled, the DVS recognizes
signals that originated from film and then applies video
processing algorithms that optimize the conversion
of video that was made with the 3:2 or 2:2 pulldown
process. This results in sharply detailed images.

DVS 510 Series • Operation 29

Auto Image submenu

Auto-Image is enabled per input. When an input is connected and Auto-Image is enabled,
the DVS performs an image adjustment in which it measures where the active area starts
and stops, then adjusts input sampling accordingly, so that the image fills the window. The
scaler measures the sync frequencies of the incoming video source and sets the active
image area, total image area, and the sampling frequency according to a table stored on the
DVS. If an unknown input is connected to the DVS, the scaler measures and estimates the
resolution of the incoming video. If the estimate proves inaccurate, the Auto-Image function
makes measurements to more accurately set up the input sampling.

Auto-image affects the following settings:

• Active pixels • Horizontal position

• Active lines • Vertical position

• Horizontal start • Horizontal size

• Vertical start • Vertical size

• Pixel phase

All other settings are unchanged when an Auto-Image is performed.

If the aspect ratio is set to Fill, the horizontal and vertical position is set to 0,0, and the
horizontal and vertical size is set to match the current output rate. If the aspect ratio is set
to Follow, the horizontal and vertical position is set to maintain the native aspect ratio of the
input with respect to the current output resolution.

If auto memories are enabled, the DVS first checks for an existing memory entry for the
connected input (see “Auto Memories submenu”).

Auto-Image is useful in applications in which a variety of input sources are likely to be
encountered, such as on a lectern or podium where guest laptops might be plugged in.

To enable or disable Auto-Image for an input:

1. From the Advanced Configuration menu, press NEXT until the Auto Image

submenu is displayed.

2. Rotate the horizontal ADJUST knob ([) to select the input to be auto-imaged.

3. Rotate the vertical ADJUST knob ({) to select On or Off for Auto-Image.

The default input selection is input 1. The default Auto-Image status is Off.

Auto Memories submenu

When auto memories is activated, the DVS stores size, position, and picture settings based
on the incoming signal from the connected input. When the same input signal is detected
again, these image settings are recalled from memory.

To enable or disable auto memories:

1. Press NEXT until the Auto Memories submenu is displayed.

2. Rotate either ADJUST knob to the right to select On or to the left to select Off.

The default for auto memories is On. It is recommended that auto memories not be disabled
unless you are using an input preset (selectable via SIS commands, the SPPCP, and the
Web pages) or if you want each input to be treated as a new input without using saved
settings.

NOTE: When an Auto-Image is performed, auto memory is checked first and if an entry

is found, its settings are used. If you do not want to use the auto memories settings,
disable auto memories before allowing Auto-Image to be performed (see the table
below for the results of combinations of Auto-Image and auto memories settings.)

default parameters. If manual input or picture settings are
made to the input, an auto memory location is created and
recalled each successive time the input is detected.

Each change in input sync triggers an automatic
Auto-Image. When auto memory is disabled, each change
in sync is treated as a new signal and an automatic
Auto-Image is triggered. Any manual changes made to the
image and picture controls are lost each time a new rate is
detected.

Each change in input sync causes default values to be
applied to the rate. Any manual changes made to the
image and picture controls are lost when a new rate is
applied.

Aspect Ratio submenu

The aspect ratio control allows you to select between Fill (the input signal at each rate fills
the entire output raster), or Follow (the input signal at each rate is displayed with its native
aspect ratio [default setting]).

• In fill mode, if you want an aspect ratio adjustment for a single input rate, you can set

up the correct size and centering by using one of the Aspect Ratio test patterns as a
template (see Test Pattern submenu on the next page). If auto memories is enabled,
this setting is saved and recalled the next time the signal is detected.

• In follow mode, each input rate is displayed with its native aspect ratio (4:3, 5:4, 16:9,

or 16:10). You can view the correct letterbox or pillar box settings by pressing the SIZE
or the POSITION button. If a single input is to fill the entire raster in follow mode, you
can manually set the position (center) to 0,0 and the size to match the current output
rate (see Picture Controls on page 37).

To select the aspect ratio mode:

1. From the Configuration menu, press NEXT until the Aspect Ratio submenu is

displayed.

2. Rotate either ADJUST knob to select the desired mode.

RGB Delay submenu

The RGB delay feature applies a brief delay before displaying a new input on a screen,
allowing the display device to adjust to the new sync timing. This delay shows the viewers
a blank screen, masking any glitch during switching. The RGB Delay options are 0 to
5 seconds in 0.1-second increments.

To set the RGB delay time:

1. From the Advanced Configuration menu, press NEXT until the RGB Delay

submenu is displayed.

2. Rotate either ADJUST knob to select the amount of delay.

DVS 510 Series • Operation 31

Switch Effect submenu

Two effects are available to be displayed on the output screen when the input is switched:

Input Presets

The DVS 510 Series has 128 input preset slots, which can save signal type, input
configuration settings, and picture control settings for any of the inputs. These presets
can be saved and recalled using the Windows-based control software (see the Signal
Processing Products Control Program help file), SIS commands (see the Input Presets

commands on page 65) or the DVS 510 Series web pages (see Memory/Input Presets
Page on page 104).

The following settings are contained in the input presets:

• Input Type • Color • Horizontal Start • Horizontal Position

• Preset Name* • Tint • Vertical Start • Vertical Position

• Film Mode Detect • Contrast • Pixel Phase • Horizontal size

• Zoom • Brightness • Total Pixels • Vertical size

• Pan • Detail Filter

*Can be set by SIS command only.

The 128 input presets are global, containing all of the settings for an input when the DVS is
used with a matrix switcher. This allows a matrix switcher with multiple types of video inputs
to be connected to the DVS 510 to expand the number of input video sources.

Each input should be switched into the DVS, configured, then saved as a preset for recall
by a control system when that input is sent from the matrix switcher to any of the 10 DVS
inputs.

• If an input preset is recalled to an input that does not support the input type saved in

the preset, an SIS error code is returned.

• If the signal frequencies and total line count do not match the frequencies saved in the

preset, the DVS uses the auto memories settings instead of recalling the preset. If no
auto memory exists for the frequency, the DVS references its lookup table (a generic list
of default sampling parameters embedded in the DVS).

• If the output rate does not match the output rate that was active when the preset was

saved, all settings in the input preset are recalled except size and position.

Audio Functions

The DVS 510 Series provides three audio outputs: fixed, variable, and amplified
(DVS 510 SA only). The following table shows the functions available on these audio
outputs.

Volume LEDs

To the right of the VOLUME knob are three LEDs that indicate the volume level (see figure 24
on the next page):

• Max (red) — Lights steadily when the volume level is between 80% and 99%. When

the volume is at 100% (maximum), this LED flashes.

• Mid (green) — Lights steadily when the volume level is above 49%.

• Min (green) — Lights steadily when the volume level is above 1%. When the volume is

at 0 (minimum), this LED blinks. It also blinks when the audio is muted by SIS command
(see the Audio Mute commands on page 64) or by the IR remote control (see Using

the Optional IR 904 Remote Control on page 44).

NOTES:

• When the volume is muted, all the Volume LEDs go dark except Min, which blinks.

• When an incremental Volume LED lights, the LEDs below it remain lit. For example,

when the Max LED lights, the Mid and Min LEDS are also lit.

Resetting

The rear panel has a recessed RESET button that initiates various levels of resets. To select
different reset levels, use a pointed stylus or small Philips screwdriver to press and hold the
button while the DVS is running or press and hold the button while applying power to the
scaler.

NOTE: You can also reset the unit to factory defaults using SIS commands (see the

Resets commands on page 68) or from the front panel (see the Reset to Factory
screen on page 33).

ATTENTION:

• Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result in

unintended loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or scaler reboot.
The table on the next page provides a summary of the reset modes.

• Analysez minutieusement les différents modes de réinitialisation (voir tableau page

suivante). Appliquer le mauvais mode de réinitialisation peut causer une perte

inattendue de la programmation de la mémoire flash, une reconfiguration des ports
ou une réinitialisation du processeur.

NOTES:

• The reset modes listed in the table on the next page 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.

• There is no reset mode 2 for the DVS 510 Series.

Front Panel Lockout (Executive Mode)

To prevent accidental changes to settings, you can lock the DVS 510 front panel controls by
placing the scaler in lock (executive) mode 1 or 2. While the DVS is in lock mode, RS-232,
RS-422, and Ethernet communication, as well as IR remote control, remain available.

• Lock mode 1 locks all front panel functions. This mode can be enabled or disabled

only by SIS commands (see the Front Panel Security Lockout (Executive Mode)
commands on page 66 in the Command and Response Table for DVS 510 SIS
Commands).

• Lock mode 2 locks all front panel functions except input selection, PIP, volume control,

and Auto-Image. To enable lock mode 2, press and hold the POSITION and SIZE
buttons simultaneously until Executive Mode 2 Enabled appears in the LCD
window (approximately 2 seconds).

To exit lock mode 2, press and hold the POSITION and SIZE buttons again until
Executive Mode Disabled appears in the LCD window (approximately 2 seconds).

NOTE: The IR receiver can be locked (default state) and unlocked via SIS commands

(see the IR Receiver commands on page 67 in the Command and Response Table
for DVS 510 SIS Commands).

Additional Features

The following features are available via one or more of the following: SIS commands, the
Signal Processing Products Control Program, the DVS 510 HTML pages, or IR remote
control. They cannot be accessed via the front panel.

Freeze

This function freezes the current image on the display. You can freeze and unfreeze the
image using the Windows-based control software (see the SPPCP help file), SIS commands
via an RS-232 or RS-422 connection (see the Freeze commands on page 65) or the Web
pages (see User Control Page on page 101).

If you switch inputs while the image is frozen, the freeze mode is cancelled and the image
from the new input is displayed.

Power Save Modes

When there is no active video for the current input, you can disable the output sync so that
a display can go into a lower power or standby state. This can increase the life of the display
panel or projector lamp. You can select the power save mode using SIS commands (see
the Power Save/Screen Saver commands on page 62) or the Signal Processing Products
Control Program (see the SPPCP help file). The power save options are:

• Mute video to black, retaining output sync.

• Display a blue screen.

• Display a blue screen for 1 minute, then mute all sync outputs.

DVS 510 Series • Operation 43

Output Sync Mute

IR 904 Remote Control

This function mutes all video and sync outputs, placing the display device in a power
save mode. Output sync mute is available only via SIS commands (see the Video Mute
commands on page 59).

NOTE: Individual outputs cannot be muted by this command. With the output sync

mute enabled, all analog and digital outputs are simultaneously disabled.

Overscan Mode

This function allows you to set a default overscan of 0%, 2.5%, or 5% to apply to SMPTE
input rates (NTSC, PAL, 480p through 1080p). When the overscan mode is not set to 0%
and an auto-image is performed on a low-resolution or DVI input, the DVS uses the default
values for input sizing and centering instead of performing a complete auto-image.

For YUV Auto and RGB inputs, pixel phase is included in the auto-image, regardless of the
current overscan setting.

The overscan mode setting is adjusted per input type (composite, S-video, RGBcvS,
YUV Auto, RGB, and DVI) using SIS commands (see the Overscan Mode commands on
page 66).

Using the Optional IR 904 Remote Control

The optional hand-held IR 904 Remote Control provides a convenient means of remotely
performing many of the functions that are also available through the front panel, SIS
commands, the Windows-based control software, or the embedded web pages. The DVS
responds to commands from remote control as if the corresponding button were pressed
on the front panel or the corresponding SIS command or software selection were entered.

The IR receiver port on the front panel is located to the left of the CONFIG port. It receives
signals from the remote control if they are sent from within a 40-degree arc to the right or left
of direct line of sight between the remote control and the scaler IR sensor, and from no more
than 30 feet (9 meters) away.

DVS 510 Series • Operation 47

Remote Configuration and Control

The DVS 510 can be remotely controlled via a host computer or other device (such as
a control system) attached to the rear panel RS232 connector, the front panel RS-232
CONFIG port, or the LAN port. You can configure and control the DVS by the Extron Simple
Instruction Set (SIS) of commands, by using the Extron Windows-based Signal Processing
Products Control Program (SPPCP), or by the internal HTML web pages (see HTML

Configuration and Control, beginning on page 87).

This section describes the serial and Ethernet connections through which the SIS
commands can be issued, and lists the commands that are available for configuring and
controlling the DVS 510 Series. It also provides instructions on obtaining and opening the
control program. Topics include:

• Serial Ports

• Ethernet Port

• Using SIS Commands

• Using the Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP)

Serial Ports

Ethernet Port

Ethernet Cable

The DVS supports RS-232 and RS-422 serial communication protocols and can operate at
9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 baud rates. (See Edit Comm Settings Menu on page 34
to configure this port using the front panel menus.)

The default protocol for the serial ports is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow
control. (See O RS-232 connector or Connecting to the RS-232 CONFIG Port (Front

Panel) on page 11 for the pin assignments for these two ports.)

The RJ-45 connector on the rear panel can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN to
enable control of the DVS via SIS commands or the Signal Processing Products Control
Program. Communication between the scaler and the controlling device can be via a utility
such as Extron DataViewer or HyperTerminal, or via Telnet (a TCP socket using port 23). The
Telnet port number can be changed, if necessary, via SIS. (For information on connecting via
Telnet, see IP Addressing on page 114.)

The Ethernet cable must be properly terminated for your application as either a
straight-through cable or a crossover cable. (For pin assignments for these cables, see

LAN connector on page 10.)

N

DVS 510 Series • Remote Configuration and Control 48

IP Address

To access the DVS 510 or DVS 510 SA via the Ethernet port, obtain the IP address of the
scaler from your network administrator. If the IP address has been changed to an address
comprised of words and characters, you can determine the actual numeric IP address using
the ping (ICMP) utility (see IP Addressing on page 114 for more details). If the IP address
has not been changed, the factory-specified default is 192.168.254.254.

Establishing an Ethernet Connection Using TCP

Establish a network connection to a DVS as follows:

1. Open a TCP connection to port 23, using the IP address of the scaler.

The scaler responds with a copyright message that includes the date, the name
of the product, firmware version, part number, and the current date and time (see

Scaler-initiated Messages on the next page).

NOTE: If the scaler is not password-protected, the device is ready to accept SIS

commands immediately after it sends the copyright message.

If the scaler is password-protected, a password prompt appears below the
copyright message.

2. If the scaler is password protected, enter the appropriate administrator or user

password.

3. If the password is accepted, the scaler responds with Login User or Login

Administrator.

4. If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.

Connection Timeouts

Using SIS Commands

The Ethernet link times out after a designated period of no communications. By default,
this timeout value is set to 5 minutes, but the value can be changed (see the Set current

connection port timeout command on page 74).

NOTE: Extron recommends leaving the default timeout at 5 minutes and periodically

issuing the Query (Q) command to keep the connection active. If there are long idle
periods, Extron recommends disconnecting and reopening the connection when
another command must be sent.

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require
any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. When the DVS
determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the
host device. Each scaler response to an SIS command ends with a carriage return and a
line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one
or more characters.

DVS 510 Series • Remote Configuration and Control 49

Scaler-initiated Messages

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

• (c) Copyright 20nn, Extron Electronics, DVS 510, Vn.nn., 60-835-0n

Www, DD Mmm YYYY hh:mm:ss

The DVS sends the copyright message upon connecting to the computer via IP, or
when powering up while connected. Vn.nn is the firmware version number.

]

•

Password:

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

• In X! All ]

Reconfig

The DVS sends this response when an input is switched or when a new signal is
detected. X! is the input number.

]

]

]

Error Responses

When the DVS 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. The responses include:

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 configuration

• E17 — Invalid command for signal type

• E22 — Busy

• E24 — Privilege violation

• E25 — Device not present

• E26 — Maximum number of connections exceeded

• E27 — Invalid event number

• E28 — Bad filename or file not found

DVS 510 Series • Remote Configuration and Control 50

Error response references

14

= Commands that give an E14 (invalid command for this configuration) error if sent

to a product whose current configuration does not support the command

24

= Commands that give an E24 (privilege violation) error if you are not logged on at

administrator level

27

= Commands that may give an E27 (invalid event number) error

28

= Commands that may give an E28 (file not found) error

Using the Command and Response Tables

These tables contain Telnet (port 23), serial, or web browser (port 80) commands. There are
some minor differences between issuing these commands via Telnet and via URL encoding
using a web browser. All commands work with either connection method but, due to some
limitations of the web browser, the encapsulation characters are modified to make sure that
the browser properly handles them.

NOTE: For web browsers, all non-alphanumeric characters must be represented

as their hexadecimal equivalent. An example is the %xx command, where xx is the
two-character representation of the hex byte that needs to be sent. (For example, a
comma would be shown 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. In practice, this would 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, prefix them with the full IP address,
followed by ?cmd=.

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

The command and response tables for SIS commands, starting on page 57, list the
commands that the DVS 510 scaler recognizes as valid, the responses that are returned to
the host, a description of the command function or the results of executing the command,
and command examples.

NOTE: If the unit does not support or recognize a command that is entered, no action is

taken and no response is returned.

HTML Configuration and Control

This section provides procedures for accessing and using the DVS 510 embedded Web
pages. The following topics are included:

• Accessing the Web Pages

• Special Characters

• System Status Page

• Configuration Pages

• File Management Page

• Control Pages

The DVS can be controlled and operated through its Ethernet port, connected via a LAN or
WAN and using a web browser such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer®. The browser displays
the DVS web pages, which provide an alternative means of configuring and operating the
scaler. These factory-installed web pages are always available and cannot be erased or
overwritten.

NOTE: If your Ethernet connection to the scaler is unstable, try turning off the proxy

server in your Web browser. To do this in Microsoft Internet Explorer, click

Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings, clear the Use a
proxy server... checkbox, then click OK.

Accessing the Web Pages

Access the HTML pages as follows:

1. Start the Web browser program.

2. Click in the browser address field and enter the IP address of your DVS 510.

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

factory-specified default 192.168.254.254 in this field.

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

page that you have uploaded), enter a slash (/) following the IP address and the name
of the page file to open.

NOTES:

• The browser Address field should display the IP address in the following

format: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/optional_le_name.html.

• The following characters are invalid or not recommended in file names:

+ ~ , @ = ` [ ] { } < > ' " ; : | \ and space.

DVS 510 Series • HTML Configuration and Control 87

4. Press the <Enter> key. The DVS checks to see if it is password protected.

• If the scaler is not password protected, the System Status Web page opens.

• If the DVS is password protected, the network password dialog box is displayed.

Figure 34. Example of a Network Password Dialog Box

5. If an administrator or user password is required, enter it in the Password field. If

desired, select the checkbox to have the system input your password the next time you
enter your DVS IP address. Click OK.

Special Characters

NOTE: A User name entry is not required.

The DVS 510 checks several possibilities, in the following order, and then responds
accordingly:

a. If the address includes a specific file name, such as

10.13.156.10/file_name.html, the scaler downloads that HTML page.

b. If there is a file in the DVS memory that is named index.html, the scaler downloads

index.html as the default startup page.

c. If neither of the above conditions exists, the scaler downloads and displays the

factory-installed default startup page, nortxe_index.html, which is the file
name for the System Status page.

The HTML language reserves certain characters for specific functions. The DVS does not
accept these characters as part of preset names, the scaler name, passwords, or locally
created file names.

Use of the following characters is not recommended:
+ ~ , @ = ` [ ] { } < > ' " ; : | \ ? and space.

DVS 510 Series • HTML Configuration and Control 88

System Status Page

The System Status page provides an overall view of the status of the DVS, including
firmware version and serial port settings. This page is the default page that the scaler
downloads when connected. You can access the System Status page from other pages
by clicking the Status tab.

Figure 35. System Status Page

The System Status Web page updates itself periodically to reflect the latest status of
the scaler. If a variable changes, the display shows the change in status the next time it
updates. You can also update the page by clicking the Refresh button in your browser.

DVS 510 Series • HTML Configuration and Control 89

Configuration Pages

The Configuration tab accesses four pages that are available only to an administrator.
These pages are listed in the left sidebar menu on the Configuration tab. The following
sections describe the changes you can make from these pages.

System Settings Page

The DVS 510 displays the System Settings page when you click the Configuration
tab. The screen consists of fields in which you can view and edit IP administration and
system settings. The Scaler Settings, Passwords, and Firmware Upgrade
pages can be accessed by clicking the appropriate link on the left sidebar menu. (See IP

Addressing on page 114 for basic information about IP addresses and subnetting.)

Figure 36. System Settings Page

On password-protected connections, there are two levels of protection: administrator and
user. Administrators have full access to all scaling capabilities and editing functions. Users
can select inputs, create and recall presets, and view all settings with the exception of
passwords.

• Ethernet connection to the scaler can be password protected, either entering SIS

commands (see Remote Configuration and Control, beginning on page 48) or using
the Signal Processing Products Control Program (see the program help file).

• Connection via RS-232 or RS-422 is not password protected.

DVS 510 Series • HTML Configuration and Control 90

IP Settings fields

The IP Settings fields let you view and edit settings unique to the Ethernet interface. After
editing any of the IP settings, click the Submit button at the bottom of this section.

Unit Name field

The Unit Name field contains the name used as the “from” information when the DVS
e-mails notification of its failed or repaired status. You can change this name field to any
valid name, up to 24 alphanumeric characters.

NOTE: The following characters are invalid or not recommended in the name:

+ ~ , @ = [ ] { } < > ' " ; : | \ and ?.

DHCP radio buttons

The DHCP On radio button directs the DVS to ignore any entered IP addresses and to obtain
its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server (if the network is
DHCP capable).

The DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP off (default).

Contact your local system administrator for this setting.

IP Address field

The IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected DVS. This address is
encoded in the scaler flash memory.

Valid IP addresses consist of four octets: one-, two-, or three-digit numeric sub-fields
separated by periods. Each octet can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeros,
up to three digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.

The factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conflicts with other
equipment at your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid value.

NOTE: IP address changes can cause conflicts with other equipment. Only local system

administrators should change IP addresses.

Gateway IP Address field

The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway (to the mail server) to
be used if the scaler and the mail server are not on the same subnet.

The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the system IP address (see “IP
Address field,” above).

Subnet Mask field

The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the scaler is on the same subnet as the
mail server when you are using a subnet (see Subnetting, a Primer, on page 118, for more
information).

The subnet mask address has the same validity rules as the system IP and gateway IP
addresses.

DVS 510 Series • HTML Configuration and Control 91

MAC Address

The MAC (media access control) address is a unique hardware address by which each
individual DVS 510 can be identified. It consists of six pairs of characters separated by
hyphens. For all Extron products, the first three character pairs are 00-05-A6, followed
by three more pairs unique to the individual device. The MAC address is hard coded in the
scaler and cannot be changed.

Date/Time Settings panel

The fields in the Date/Time Settings panel enable you to view and set the date and
time parameters.

Figure 37. Date/Time Settings Fields

To change the date and time settings:

1. In each Date or Time field that you want to change, select the desired value from

the drop-down menu or key it in the field. (The Month drop-down menu is selected in
figure 37), or

Click the Local Date/Time button to set the date and time to your local settings.

2. From the Zone menu, select your time zone. The selection displayed in the Zone field

identifies the standard time zone and the amount of time, in hours and minutes, that
local time varies from the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) international time reference.

3. If daylight saving time is currently in effect in your area, select the radio button for the

area. If daylight saving time is not in effect or is not observed, select Off.

NOTE: When daylight savings time is enabled, the scaler updates its internal

clock between standard time and daylight savings time in the spring and fall on
the date that the time change occurs in the United States of America and parts
of Europe and Brazil. When daylight savings time is turned off, the scaler does
not adjust its time reference.

4. Click the Submit button at the bottom of the Date/Time Settings panel to

implement your selections.
