Introduction This section gives an overview of the DVS 510 and DVS 510 SA scalers. Topics include: • About this Guide • About the DVS 510 Series Scalers • Features • Controlling the DVS 510 Series • Application Diagram 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.
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.
• 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 tri-colored, backlit pushbuttons on the front panel can be custom-labeled.
• 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).
Application Diagram The following diagram shows an example of a DVS 510 SA application.
Installation This section gives an overview of the steps to installing the DVS 510. It also provides a description of the rear panel connectors and instructions for cabling. The following topics are discussed: • Installation Overview • Rear Panel • Connecting to the RS-232 Config Port (Front Panel) • Wiring the Amplified Audio Ports (DVS 510 SA Only) Installation Overview Follow these steps to install and set up the DVS 510: 1.
5. Connect power to the DVS by plugging a standard IEC power cord (provided) from a 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz AC power source into the power receptacle (a). 6. Configure the DVS 510 using the SPPCP (see the control program help file), SIS commands (see the “Remote Configuration and Control” section, beginning on page 47), the web pages (see the “HTML Configuration and Control” section, beginning on page 85), or any combination of these methods.
e Video inputs 7/8 and 9/10 — Connect two DVI, two RGB/YUV, or one each video sources to these DVI-I connectors. The analog portions of these connectors are identified as inputs 7 and 9, while the DVI portions are recognized as inputs 8 and 10. These connectors feature EDID emulation. The following tables show the DVI-I connector pin assignments for DVI and analog source connection.
f RGB/YUV output connectors — Connect cables from RGB (RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB) or YUVp/HD component (R-Y, Y, B-Y) display devices to these female 15-pin HD connectors for scaled RGB or component video output. The output can be scaled to 69 different output rates (see the resolution and refresh rates table on page 27). NOTE: g h Outputs are buffered and can be connected simultaneously to two different displays. The sync and video formats are the same for all outputs.
j Variable audio output connector — Connect an audio device to this female 5-pole 3.5 mm captive screw connector for balanced or unbalanced variable audio output. This output is affected by tone control, gain, attenuation, and audio delay. Wire the connector as shown below. No Ground Here L L R Tip Sleeves Tip Do not tin the wires! R Tip Ring Sleeves Tip Ring No Ground Here Balanced Audio Output Figure 5.
o RS232 connector — This female 9-pin DB-9 connector provides for RS-232 or RS-422 remote communication. Connect a host computer or control system to this connector for serial control of the DVS by Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands (see the “Remote Configuration and Control” section, beginning on page 47) or by the SPPCP software (see the control program help file). The default protocol for this port is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
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). CAUTIONS: • 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.

Operation This section discusses the functions available through the front panel to set up and operate the DVS 510 or DVS 510 SA.
a Input Buttons — Press the desired input button to select an input and switch it to the current output. The visual effect accompanying the switch (switch effect) can be a cut or a fade, depending on the selection (see “Advanced Configuration Menu” on page 29). With front panel input selection, audio always follows (switches with) the front panel video selection.
c Picture control buttons — Press these buttons to adjust window and image size, position, brightness, range of dark and light values (contrast), color, tint, detail, zoom (magnify or reduce), and pan. When one of these buttons is pressed, it lights amber. NOTE: When PIP mode is enabled, all picture control adjustments affect only the PIP window. (See “Picture Controls” on page 36 for details on these button functions.
Powering On 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.
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).
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 36). 3. Press the PIP On/Off button to activate the PIP mode. • The input button for the PIP window lights green.

MID LED on solid when volume level is at 50% or higher. VOLUME MAX MAX MID MID MIN MIN MAX LED on solid when volume level is at 80% or higher. Figure 23. VOLUME MAX MAX LED flashes when volume level is at 100% (maximum).
DVS 510 Series Reset Mode Summary Run and Stop Events Factory Firmware Mode Activation Result Purpose and Notes Use mode 1 to revert to the factory default version for a single power cycle if incompatibility issues arise with user-loaded firmware. 1 Hold in the recessed Reset button while applying power to the unit. The DVS reverts to the factory default firmware for a single power cycle. Event scripting does not start if the unit is powered on in this mode.
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.
Output Sync Mute 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 57, in the Command and Response Table for SIS Commands). 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.
Locking IR Remote Control Access The DVS can be set to lock out users from using the IR 904 Remote Control to control the scaler. Remote access can be enabled and disabled via SIS commands (see the IR Receiver commands on page 65 in the Command and Response Table for SIS Commands). When remote access is locked, all other controls remain available (SIS commands, web pages, control software, and front panel). NOTES: • By default, the IR receiver is disabled.
a PIP control buttons — Control the picture-in-picture (PIP) function: • PIP On/Off button — Toggles between showing and hiding the picture-in-picture on the display (enabling and disabling PIP mode). • PIP Swap button — Toggles the primary (main or background) and secondary (PIP) pictures between the main image and the PIP window. b Volume — Press the top (up arrow) or bottom (down arrow) of this rocker button to raise or lower the output volume level.
f Image Adjustment buttons — Let you make adjustments to the appearance of the image on the screen, including color, tint, contrast, brightness, and sharpness (Detail). For each of these controls, there are two buttons: + to increase the image property and – to decrease it. You can also freeze the image on the screen (the Freeze button has no equivalent on the front panel). To adjust the image using the remote control buttons: 1. Aim the IR 904 remote control at the front panel IR sensor. 2.
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.
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 116 for more details). If the IP address has not been changed, the factory-specified default is 192.168.254.254.
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.

IP Addressing What is an IP Address? An IP address is a 32-bit binary number that is used to identify each device on an Ethernet network. This number is usually represented by four decimal numbers (each in the range of 0 to 255) separated by dots, such as 198.123.34.240. This is called “dotted decimal notation.” An IP address is divided into two parts: • Network identifier • Host identifier Each address on a given network must have the same network identifier value but a unique host identifier.
The following is an example of an invalid Class C addressing scheme: Device IP Address SPPCP Control Software Computer 208.132.180.41 DVS 510 192.157.180.42 NOTE: The above addresses are invalid because the network identifier for each address is not the same even though each IP address is unique. You can perform a test from your computer to check that a device at a particular address is responding correctly or to determine its address (see “Pinging for the IP Address”).
4. At the command prompt, enter ping IP address. The computer returns a display similar to figure 56. The line Pinging ... reports the actual numeric IP address, regardless of whether you entered the actual numeric IP address or an alias name. Figure 56. Ping Command and Response Pinging to determine the web IP address The Ping utility has a modifier, -a, that directs the command to return the web address rather than the numeric IP address. At the prompt, enter ping -a IP address.
4. At the prompt, enter telnet. The computer returns a display similar to the figure below. Figure 57. Telnet Screen Telnet tips It is not the intention of this guide to detail all of the operations and functionality of Telnet; however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the DVS 510 Series via Telnet. Connecting to the DVS (Open command) Use the Open command to connect the computer to the DVS 510 scale.
Local echo Once your computer is connected to the DVS 510, by default Telnet does not display your keystrokes on the screen. SIS commands are entered blindly, and only the SIS responses are displayed on the screen. To command Telnet to show all keystrokes, enter set local_echo at the Telnet prompt before you open the connection to the scaler. With local echo turned on, keystrokes and the scaler responses are displayed on the same line.
Local and remote devices The local and remote devices are defined from the point of view of the function being described. In this guide, subnetting is an issue when you are using the controlling computer to set TCP/IP and e-mail values in the DVS (see “Establishing an Ethernet Connection Using TCP” on page 48. When you are setting up the variables for e-mail notification, the scaler is the local device and the e-mail server is the remote device.
Extron Warranty Extron Electronics warrants this product against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three years from the date of purchase.
