DESCRIPTION
®
The Extron DVS 304 is a Digital Video Scaler incorporating the
latest 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 A/V environments including boardrooms,
conference rooms, educational institutions, houses of worship, home
theaters, 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 Automatic
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
infrared (IR) remote control, contact closure and IP Link
®
. With the
DVS 304, IP Link also allows for direct communication with the Extron
CrossPoint 450 Plus 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. A total of 59 output scan rates are available from VGA
(640 x 480) to UXGA (1600 x 1200) resolution, as well as HDTV at
720p, 1080i, and 1080p.
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 A/V 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. Configurations can be conveniently saved and recalled from
up to three memory presets per input. To enhance presentations, a
special picture-in-picture (PIP) mode allows video and RGB sources to
be combined within the same image.
IP Link
®
Ethernet Control
The DVS 304 is equipped with Extron’s IP Link, an IP integration
technology specifically engineered to meet the needs of professional
A/V environments—from large universities and businesses to small
residential installations. IP Link provides these advantages:
• IP Link GlobalViewer
™
– This free Web-based asset management
application is specifically designed to work with products that
include IP Link technology. GlobalViewer enables a variety of asset
management functions including proactive maintenance, event
scheduling, remote technical support, and theft alerts.
• Global compatibility – All IP Link products use industry standard
Ethernet communication protocols, including ARP, DHCP, ICMP
(ping), TCP/IP, Telnet, HTTP, and SMTP.
• High performance architecture – Web pages are served many
times faster (6 Mbit/sec transfer rate) than similar products.
• Multi-user support – Multiple, simultaneous connections enable
each IP Link device to support many concurrent users and improve
system throughput by sending information in parallel.
