The Extron DVS 304 is a Video and RGB Scaler incorporating advanced scaling technology from Extron as well as a host of flexible, convenient, integrator-friendly features. This high performance scaler is designed to satisfy the requirements of today's high quality, high resolution video presentations using the latest displays, and at the same time facilitate the process of system integration. The DVS 304 is ideal for a wide range of AV environments including boardrooms, conference rooms, educational institutions, houses of worship, and event and staging applications.

High Performance RGB and Video Scaling

The DVS 304 features a high performance scaling engine with the capability to scale standard definition video, high definition video, and computer-video signals up and/or down in resolution. With the DVS 304, only a single RGBHV connection to the display is required, resulting in cost savings due to reduced installation time, cabling, and system programming. The DVS 304 also delivers glitch-free switching between video and computer-video sources. Offering the capability to process both conventional video and high resolution multimedia sources, the DVS 304 creates a single, optimally scaled output to match the native resolution of the display.

Variety of Input Formats

The four inputs of the DVS 304 accommodate composite video, S-video, component video, and RGB. SDI Serial Digital Interface input is available as an option. The fourth input is flexible and fully configurable to accept any available analog video format from composite video to RGBHV. Additionally, with the exclusive Auto Input Format Detection mode, the DVS 304 automatically detects and then processes the incoming signal format to this input. This powerful feature is particularly effective in simplifying system integration and operation when using a matrix switcher with the DVS 304.

Multiple Control Options

The DVS 304 can be operated via the front panel, RS-232, optional IR remote control, contact closure, and over a network with IP Link®. IP Link technology enables remote control and configuration, monitoring of critical functions, and management of any equipped product throughout a facility from any Ethernet connection. With the DVS 304, IP Link also allows for direct communication with Extron IP Link-enabled matrix switchers for quick interoperation and powerful system integration.

Dual Scaled Outputs

Two identical, scaled outputs are available on 15-pin HD and BNC connectors. Selectable output rates are available from VGA (640x480) to WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution, as well as HDTV at 720p, 1080i, and 1080p/60.

Audio Models Available

The DVS 304 A and DVS 304 AD offer four input audio switching for stereo unbalanced or balanced sources. Independent gain and attenuation controls are available for each input, and all audio connections are on captive screw connectors for ease of integration. The output volume control eliminates the need for a separate audio preamplifier in many AV systems.

Integrator Friendly Features

The DVS 304 is equipped with a comprehensive feature set for integrator friendly access and configuration, as well as user friendly operation. An on-screen display facilitates display of information pertaining to the selected input and adjustment of picture settings, including positioning, size, zoom, brightness, contrast, color, tint, and detail. Internal test patterns are available for calibration and setup. Configurations can be conveniently saved and recalled from up to three memory presets per input. To enhance presentations, a special PIP picture-in-picture mode allows video and RGB sources to be combined within the same image.

Features

Inputs: Composite video on BNC; composite video, S-video, and component video on BNCs; S-video on 4-pin mini DIN; fully configurable input accepts all signal formats from composite video to HDTV component video and RGBHV on 15-pin HD; optional SDI Serial Digital Interface - supports SMPTE 259M-C 270 Mbps standard

Outputs: Simultaneous scaled outputs as RGB or component video on BNCs and 15-pin HD

RGB, HDTV, and video scaling — RGB computer-video, high definition video, and standard definition video sources can all be scaled to the desired output resolution.

RGB upscaling and downscaling — The DVS 304 features an advanced scaling engine with high quality upscaling and downscaling of high resolution computer-video signals.

Selectable output rates from 640x480 to 1600x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60 — Available output rates include computer-video up to WUXGA, 480p, 576p, and HDTV rates at 720p, 1080i, and 1080p/60.

Dual RGB or component video outputs — Two simultaneous outputs are provided for driving two display devices.

Auto Input Format Detection — Input four of the DVS 304 can be set to detect the incoming signal format, automatically reconfiguring itself to provide the appropriate decoding and signal processing. This feature can reduce the number of required outputs for a matrix switcher, lowering system cost while improving manageability.

Auto-switching between inputs — The DVS 304 can automatically switch between input sources. With auto-switching, the DVS 304 DVI can also accommodate additional inputs when connected to the outputs of a larger presentation switcher, such as the MPS 112.

IP Link® Ethernet control — Ethernet-enabled AV products, such as the DVS 304, can be managed and supported by a technician or administrator at any time from any authorized Web client. IP Link also enables the DVS 304 to directly communicate with Extron IP Link-enabled matrix switchers for faster, streamlined system operation.

Auto-Image™ setup — For expedited presentation set-up, the DVS 304 automatically optimizes the image by analyzing and then adjusting to the incoming source, eliminating complex and time-consuming set-up procedures.

On-screen display — The DVS 304 features an on-screen display which displays status information pertaining to the currently selected input, and facilitates easy adjustment of picture settings.

On-screen input labels — An on-screen text label may be assigned to input four for each incoming signal. The label can be up to 16 characters and input via RS-232 or IP Link. This feature is especially useful when identifying incoming signals from a matrix switcher.

Audio switching and output volume control — The DVS 304 A and DVS 304 AD feature audio switching for four stereo balanced or unbalanced input sources. In addition to master volume control and muting, gain or attenuation can be adjusted for each input to eliminate noticeable differences when switching between sources.

Audio input gain and attenuation

Picture controls for brightness, contrast, color, tint, detail, and horizontal and vertical positioning, sizing, and zoom — Three memory presets are available for each input to store all image settings.

Internal test patterns for calibration and setup — Three test patterns are available, including a crop pattern, color bars, and alternating pixels. A blue-only mode is provided for proper setup of video color and tint levels.

PIP - picture-in-picture — A special PIP mode, activated through the RS-232 or IP Link port, or IR remote control, allows a video source to be displayed within an RGB image, or vice versa. The PIP mode features adjustable window sizing and positioning.

Aspect ratio conversion — Any video input can be adjusted horizontally and vertically to meet a specific aspect ratio requirement. Alternatively, the input aspect ratio may be specified as 4:3 or 16:9 and fixed. For example, the user can save and recall specific settings to match various video aspect ratios from DVDs.

3:2 NTSC and 2:2 PAL pulldown detection — Advanced film mode processing techniques help maximize image detail and sharpness for NTSC or PAL sources that originated from film.

Quad standard video decoding — The DVS 304 uses a digital, four-line adaptive comb filter to decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM for integration into systems worldwide.
