Extron electronic Digital Video Scaler Series DVS 304 AD - Manual (Page 11)

1-3 DVS 304 • Introduction
S-video or composite video signal.
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, and composite
video) input or a high resolution (VGA and YUVp) input for the primary or
secondary picture.
Memory and input presets — Memory presets save sizing, positioning, and picture
control settings.
Input presets (on input 4 only) save input configuration, 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.
Buffered video outputs — 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 (the BNCs and 15-pin HD connector) are active at all times for
simultaneous output.
Device control — The scaler has four methods of control; by the scaler’s front
panel, via a computer or other RS-232 control device, using the optional IR
902 remote control, or via Signal Enhancements Windows Control Program.
Scaled outputs — The DVS 304 offers 62 different output rates.
RS-232 configuration — The DVS 304 can be configured by using the Extron control
software for Windows or by using a third party control system.
Front panel security lockout (executive mode) — To prevent accidental changes
to the unit’s settings, the DVS 304 provides front panel lockout of all controls
except input switching.
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 film.
When film 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 DVS 304’s advanced film mode processing recognizes
signals that originated from film. The DVS 304 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
defined lines. A similar process is used for PAL film-source video.
Versatile mounting options — The DVS 304 and DVS 304 D are 1U high, half rack
wide rack mountable devices. Alternatively, they can be placed on a table or
other furniture. Rubber feet and rack mounting hardware are included.
The 1U high and full rack DVS 304 A and DVS 304 AD (audio models) can be
rack mounted using included rack/through-desk mounting brackets.
