Introduction  
About this Manual  
This manual discusses how to install, configure, and operate the Extron DVS 304  
video and RGB scaler and how to operate the optional IR 902 infrared remote  
control (part #70-495-01).  
Throughout this manual the terms “DVS”, “digital video scaler”, and “scaler” are  
used interchangeably to refer to the same product. All instances refer to all models  
in the series unless noted otherwise.  
About the DVS 304, DVS 304 A, DVS 304 D, and  
DVS 304 AD  
The DVS 304 series (DVS 304, DVS 304 A, DVS 304 D, and DVS 304 AD ) are  
4-input, 1-output high performance RGB and video scalers offering 62 output  
rates, including HDTV. These products provide scaling solutions for boardrooms,  
conference rooms, and home theaters, as well as rental and staging applications.  
The two DVS 304 scalers come in a half rack model (DVS 304) with an SDI option,  
and a full rack model (DVS 304 A) with an SDI option and balanced/unbalanced  
audio.  
All versions of the DVS 304 can be controlled remotely using Extron’s Simple  
Instruction Set (SIS) commands via RS-232, or through an Ethernet LAN  
connection using embedded Web pages.  
The DVS 304 scales from composite video, S-video, component (Y, R-Y, B-Y) video,  
and RGB video to computer-video (RGBHV/RGBS/RGsB) or HD component.  
It can also output to two separate display devices via individually buffered BNC  
and 15-pin HD connectors.  
Controlling the DVS 304 video and RGB scaler  
The DVS 304 can be controlled using one or more of the following methods:  
The front panel controls.  
A computer, a touch screen panel, or any other device that can send and  
receive the serial communications through the RS-232 port. The Extron  
Simple Instruction Set (SIS) is a set of simple keystroke commands that can  
be used with any such devices, and Extron’s control software for Windows®  
provides a graphical interface for controlling the scaler from a computer.  
The optional IR 902 remote control, replicating most of the front panel  
controls.  
Ethernet control via IP Link, enabling the DVS 304 to be controlled and  
pro-actively monitored over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet.  
Features  
Four inputs:  
SDI video input (optional) — One BNC connector on the rear panel accepts  
SDI video. During setup, the SDI input is assigned to input 1, 2, 3, or 4  
(the default is none).  
Input 1 — One BNC connector on the rear panel accepts composite video.  
Input 2 — Three BNC connectors on the rear panel accept composite video,  
S-video, or component video.  
Input 3 — A 4-pin mini-DIN connector accepts an S-video signal.  
Input 4 — A 15-pin HD connector accepts an RGB, component video,

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.

Options and accessories  
The DVS 304’s optional equipment includes:  
IR 902 remote control — Extron’s IR 902 (part #70-495-01) is an infrared  
remote control which replicates most of the front panel controls of the  
DVS 304 (except the Menu and Next buttons).  
SDI input card — Serial digital interface (SDI) input can be added to the  
DVS 304 model by the installation of an SDI input card (part #70-168-01).

Installation and Operation  
Mounting the Scaler  
The DVS 304 is 1U high, half rack wide, and is rack mountable. Alternatively, it 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 (audio model) can be rack mounted using  
included rack/through-desk mounting brackets.  
Tabletop/desktop placement  
Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the DVS 304. For tabletop use,  
attach one foot to each corner of the bottom side of the unit and place the unit in the  
desired location.  
UL guidelines for rack mounted devices  
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the  
DVS in a rack.  
1.  
Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-unit  
rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may  
be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the DVS 304 in an  
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature  
(Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow  
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.  
Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous  
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.  
Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider  
the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and  
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should  
be used when addressing this concern.  
5.  
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-  
mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other  
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

Menus, Configuration, and Adjustments  
Scaler configuration and adjustments can be performed by using the embedded  
Web pages and the Windows-based control program (see chapter 3, “Serial  
Communication” for details) or by using the front panel controls and the menus  
that are displayed on the DVS 304’s LCD screen. These menus are used primarily  
when the scaler is first set up.  
Moving through menus by using front panel controls  
Menu button — Press the Menu button to activate menus and scroll through the  
eight main menus.  
Next button — Press the Next button to move between the submenus of a selected  
main menu. Pressing the Next button during input configuration causes the  
current input’s number and format type to be displayed on the LCD  
Adjust ([,{) knobs — In configuration mode, rotate the Adjust horizontal ([)  
knob and Adjust vertical ({) knob to scroll through submenu options and to  
make adjustment selections. Refer to the flowcharts in this chapter and to specific  
sections for explanations on knob adjustments.  
Menu overview  
The default menus appear on the LCD when no adjustments are actively being  
made. They cycle between the screen showing the model of the scaler (DVS 304 or  
DVS 304 A) and the screen that shows the active input’s number and video format,  
as shown below.

Start auto image  
Auto imaging allows you to “auto size” and “auto center” the selected image to  
fill the screen. The processor measures the sync frequencies of an incoming video  
source and uses an internal table to set the active image area, total image area, and  
the sampling frequency.  
If an unknown input is connected to the DVS 304, the processor measures and  
estimates the resolution of the incoming video.  
To turn on this feature, select the Advanced Config menu and choose “On”.  
Start auto imaging on a selected input by pressing “Next” after the Start Auto  
Image menu.

An input with a vertical refresh rate less than 40 Hz will have to be manually  
centered and sized, using H/V Start and H/V Active under the Input Config  
menu. When a rate with a low vertical refresh rate (e.g. 720p 29.9 Hz) is applied  
and an Auto Image command is issued, the DVS 304 will refer to default values  
instead of performing a true Auto Image.

“X” refers to the input (1 to 4) and “Y” refers to the preset (1 to 3).  
In the absence of any saved presets, the “Input #X Memory Y” message will not be  
displayed for those presets.  
The presets are specific to a selected output rate. If the output rate is  
subsequently changed, the previously saved preset will have no effect on the  
video output. However, if the original output rate is later restored for a saved  
preset, the preset will re-apply to that output rate.

Auto Image  
When enabled and a new input frequency is detected, the DVS will first apply an  
existing Auto Memory for the signal (if Auto Memory is enabled), or if no entry  
exists, will perform an automatic Auto Image on the new signal.  
With Auto Image disabled, the DVS 304 will apply default values to a new input if  
no Auto Memory exists (if Auto Memory is enabled). Default is off.  
Please see the table in the Auto Memory section for a full description of the  
interaction between the Auto Image and Auto Memory settings.  
An input with a vertical refresh rate less than 40 Hz must be manually centered  
and sized, using H/V Start and H/V Active under the Input Config menu.  
When a rate with a low vertical refresh rate (e.g. 720p 29.9 Hz) is applied and an  
Auto Image command is issued, the DVS 304 will refer to default values instead  
of performing a true Auto Image.  
N
Blue mode  
The Blue mode assists the user in setting up a scaler’s color and tint level. To use  
this feature, set this submenu to “On” so that only sync and blue video signals will  
be passed to the display.  
Use either the Adjust horizontal ([) or Adjust vertical ({) knob to select this mode.  
The default state is “Off”.  
The Blue mode is not effective for RGB pass-through.  
N
Auto switch mode  
The Auto switch mode causes the highest numbered input having a signal present,  
to be automatically selected. For example, if both inputs 1 and 3 have active input  
signals, input 3 will be selected.  
From this submenu, use either the Adjust horizontal ([) or Adjust vertical ({) knob  
to specify this mode as “On” or “Off”. The default is “Off”.  
The Auto switch mode ignores the presence of an SDI input signal, so any input  
which is assigned an active SDI signal will not be selected.

RGB Delay  
The RGB delay feature applies a brief delay before displaying a new picture to a  
screen and allows the display device to adjust to the new sync timing. This feature  
provides “no-glitch” switching.  
The blanking period can be set from 0 to 5 seconds in 0.5 second steps.  
OSD label  
Use the On-Screen Display (OSD) label menu to determine the time allotment for  
an input label or a user defined OSD label. Input labels are generic labels shown  
for inputs 1, 2 and 3. For input 4, the user can create a custom OSD label to display.  
The OSD labels are displayed (white box, black text) in the top left-hand corner.  
The OSD label can be turned off by setting its duration to “Off” from the Advanced  
Configuration menu. For OSD text, note the following:  
• Line 1 displays the input number.  
• Line 2 displays the input type.  
• Line 3 displays a text label that you can define (input 4 only).  
The display time can be set from 0 to 5 seconds in 1 second steps (default is 2 secs).  
Test pattern  
Test patterns are useful when the DVS 304 is used to output differing resolutions.  
Choose a test pattern to properly adjust the image using built in crop, alternating  
pixels, and color bars.  
Enhance mode  
When the enhance mode is set to on, automatic gain control of the video input  
signal is enabled. If the input signal level is too weak, signal gain will be increased,  
and if the input signal level is excessive, signal gain will be decreased.  
Using either the Adjust horizontal ([) or Adjust vertical ({) knob, select (< >)  
either On or Off as desired. The default is Off.  
Refresh Lock  
When Refresh Lock is applied the vertical output rate is locked to the incoming  
vertical refresh rate to prevent tearing and/or stutters associated with frame  
conversion. This mode should only be activated when excessive stuttering and/or  
tearing is being experienced with an input signal.  
The output refresh rate must be set equal to or greater than the incoming video’s  
refresh rate or no video output will be displayed.  
N
If the incoming video’s vertical rate differs significantly from the set output  
refresh rate, no video will be displayed.  
Auto Memory  
The DVS 304 stores 16 auto memories with input and picture control data for inputs  
2 ad 4. The default settings enables these memories to automatically recall input  
and picture controls for signals that have been previously applied. By disabling  
auto memories, the DVS 304 will treat every newly applied input as a new input.  
Default is on.  
AUTO MEMORY AND AUTO IMAGE FEATURES

Information  
“New” signals /rates that have not been previously detected by the DVS 304 are initially set-up  
using default parameters, then auto image is automatically applied and values stored. The next  
time the same signal is detected, the values stored in the auto memory location are applied.  
“New” signals /rates that have not been previously detected by the DVS 304 are set-up using  
default parameters. If manual input and/or picture settings are made to the input, an auto  
memory location is created and recalled each successive time the input is detected.

Installation and Operation, cont’d  
Picture-in-picture mode  
The DVS 304 can display two image sources on the screen simultaneously. Keep  
in mind that when using the PIP feature, one image source must be low-resolution  
(composite, S-video, YUVi and RGBcvS) video, while the other must be high  
resolution (YUVp, RGB scaled) video. If these conditions are not met (i.e., two low  
resolution video inputs or two high resolution inputs are selected), the PIP mode  
will quit.  
To go into Picture-in-picture mode, do the following:  
1.  
Select an input for the main window.  
2.  
Define the size of the main window before starting PIP mode.  
For quick sizing setup, use the 16*# X10%SIS command to set different sizes for  
N
the PIP window.  
3.  
Activate the PIP mode via an SIS command or IR remote; specify the PIP  
window input.  
DVS 304 checks the input format for the PIP window and returns an error message  
if an invalid selection is made.  
When the PIP mode is active, note the following:  
The LED for the main window input is ON.  
The parameters of the PIP window are adjustable from the front panel or by  
SIS commands only.  
Any change in configuration (except positioning) of the PIP window is saved  
to that input even after the PIP mode is not longer active.  
The PIP window input is listed under the default cycle on front panel menu,  
as shown below.

Figure 2-18 — The PIP sequence  
If the PIP window source is out, the PIP mode exits until an active signal is  
detected. When the main window source is removed, a black background  
displayed.  
Changing the input  
To change the input for the PIP and/or main window, determine if the  
corresponding input is a 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. In this case, the PIP window retains its high  
resolution.  
When the PIP window is active, size, position, and picture controls all apply to 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.

Using the 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 4 (RGB scaled) and the PIP  
window is Input 1 (composite), applying the swap command results in Input 1  
becoming the main window and Input 4 the PIP window.  
For audio models (DVS 304 A or AD), you can allow audio to follow the main  
(default) or PIP window. Audio breakaway is not possible while PIP mode is on;  
audio must follow either the main window or the PIP window.

Setting up the DVS to work with a Matrix switcher  
The Sync to Matrix tool is a powerful tool which can simplify the control system  
necessary when using an Extron Matrix switcher and a DVS 304.  
The “Sync to Matrix” script can sense when a new tie is made on the matrix is  
routed to the DVS and automatically recalls the input preset associated with the  
input on the matrix switcher. The input preset recalls all the settings for the input  
including the signal format, input sampling settings, and picture controls.

On the DVS 304, configure the input as follows:  
a). Switch to input 4 on the DVS.  
b). Set the following input sampling settings as desired: signal type,  
horizontal and vertical start, pixel phase, total pixels, active pixels, and  
active lines  
Do not use auto detect setting for the input type when using input presets.  
N
c). Set the following picture controls as desired: size, position, color, tint,  
brightness, contrast, and detail.  
d). Save the adjusted settings as input preset 1. Refer to chapter 3, “Serial  
Communication”, for the SIS commands to save the preset.  
Each input preset must be saved with the same number as the input on the  
matrix switcher. For Example, input 24 on the matrix will be associated with  
the input preset 24 on the DVS.  
N
e). Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each input on the matrix that is to be used on the  
DVS 304.  
4.  
Synchronize the DVS to the matrix switcher as follows:  
a). Open the Signal Enhancements Windows Control Program and connect  
to the DVS 304.  
Connection must be via IP (not RS-232).  
N
b). From the Tools menu, select Sync DVS304 to Matrix Switcher... . The  
Sync DVS304 to Matrix Switcher window opens.  
c). In the IP Address field, enter the matrix switcher’s IP address.  
d). Click Connect to Matrix button. The matrix switcher’s size is displayed  
below the button.  
e). From the drop-down menu next to Matrix Output feeding DVS 304  
Input 4: select the matrix output number that is connected to Input 4 on  
the DVS 304.

f). Click Take button to tie the DVS 304’s input to the selected switcher  
output. The program will create a custom script that will then be loaded  
onto the DVS 304. The Status box updates with the status of the script on  
the DVS 304, showing if the DVS 304’s script is connected to the matrix  
switcher, and showing the current tie associated with output selected.  
Using the DVS and matrix switcher after the DVS is  
synchronized to the matrix switcher.  
After completing step 4, above, ensure the following is done when using the DVS  
with the matrix:  
Perform all input switching using the matrix switcher. A 1-second RGB  
delay on the matrix is recommended to minimize the appearance of a  
glitch in the output while the DVS locks onto the new signal.  
The DVS senses when the matrix switcher changes input ties and  
recalls the matching input preset, so Input presets need not be recalled  
manually.  
The DVS 304 and the matrix switcher must remain on the same subnet.  
Do not change the matrix switcher’s IP address. If the IP address of the  
matrix is altered, repeat step 4 above.

Removing the Sync to Matrix Script  
If the Sync to Matrix feature is no longer being used, the script can be removed  
from the DVS by the following steps:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Open the Signal Enhancements Windows Control program and connect to the  
DVS via IP (not RS-232).

Minimize synchronization problems without using the Sync to Matrix  
feature  
This section describes how to manually implement the equivalent of the Sync to  
Matrix feature without using a script loaded on the DVS 304, and instead relying  
on a control system.  
When operating the system using a manually configured control system (for which  
Sync to matrix has not been setup), you can avoid synchronization problems that  
cause unwanted image blanking or scrambling during input switches by doing the  
following.  
If the Sync to Matrix feature has been previously used, first see Removing the  
Sync to Matrix Script section above.  
N
1.  
While setting up the switcher and the DVS to work together, set rthe RGB  
delay on the matrix switcher, equal to, or greater than 1.0 second.  
2.  
Create a tie on the matrix switcher from desired input X to the output number  
that corresponds to the DVS 304’s Input 4.  
3.  
Immediately (within 1 second) recall the input preset on the DVS 304  
associated with the input X on the matrix switcher.  
Input presets cannot be recalled via the DVS 304’s front panel. You can recall  
them via SIS commands (see chapter 3, “Serial Communication”).

Host to-scaler and scaler to host communications  
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters  
are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the DVS 304 determines  
that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host  
device. All responses from the scaler to the host end 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.  
Scaler-initiated messages  
When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the  
DVS 304 scaler responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required

The DVS 304 sends the copyright message when it first powers on. Vx.xx is the  
firmware version number.  
In X!All ]  
Reconfig ] (where X!is the input number). The DVS 304 sends this response  
when an input is switched.  
Using the command/response tables  
The following are either Telnet (port 23) or Web browser (port 80) commands. There are some  
minor differences when you are implementing these commands via Telnet or via URL encoding  
using a Web browser. All commands listed below will work using either connection method but,  
due to some limitations of the Web browser, the encapsulation characters are modified to make  
sure that the Web browser will properly handle them. All examples in the command/response  
table show the proper implementation in a Telnet or Web browser session.  
Note for Web browsers: all non-alphanumeric characters must be represented  
N
as their hex equivalent, such as %xx where xx equals the two character  
representation of the hex byte that needs to be sent (e.g., a comma would be  
represented as %2C).

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. This would in practice be the full URL of the  
control interface and Web page reference including all path information.  
(e.g., http://192.168.254.254/index.html)  
To send any of the commands using a Web browser you need to prefix them with  
the full URL followed by ?cmd=. See URL Encoding later in this chapter.  
With Telnet you can use either the Escape commands or the W commands, and  
N
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} = Data is directed to a specified port and must be encoded  
if non-alphanumeric.  
The Command/response table for Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands later in this  
chapter lists the commands that the DVS 304 scaler recognizes as valid, the  
responses that are returned to the host, a description of the command’s function or  
the results of executing the command, and an example of each command in ASCII  
(Telnet) and URL Encoded (Web).  
Upper and lower case text can be used interchangeably except where noted.

The copyright message is displayed upon connecting to IP Link product via  
TCP/IP or Telnet. Vx.xx is the firmware version number. The current date and  
time are displayed. This is followed by a Password prompt.  
Password information  
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 correct password is entered, the unit responds with ] Login Administrator ]  
or ]Login User ], depending on password entered. If passwords are the same  
for both administrator and user, the unit defaults to administrator privileges.

Error responses  
When the DVS 304 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.  
• 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/File not found  
References to errors (at command descriptions on the following pagesꢀ  
14 = Commands that give E14 (Invalid Command for this configuration) if sent to  
Extron product whose current configuration does not support the command.

For Web encoding only:  
Data is directed to the specified port and must  
be encoded if it is non-alphanumeric. Because

Accessing and Using the Web Server  
Navigating the Default Web Pages  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Ethernet Control  
The DVS 304 features an on-board Web server, displayed as a set of default Web  
pages. These pages allow you to control and operate the DVS 304 unit through  
its Ethernet port, connected via a LAN or WAN, using a Web browser such as  
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher), or Netscape Navigator  
(version 6.0 or higher).  
This chapter describes these default Web pages, which are always available and  
cannot be erased or overwritten.  
Accessing and Using the Web Server  
Access the DVS 304 through the on-board Web server pages as follows:  
1.  
Double click the Web browser icon on your Windows desktop to launch your  
Web browser.  
2.  
3.  
Click in the browser’s Address field.  
Enter the unit’s IP address in the browser’s Address field.  
N
If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory-  
specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.  
4.  
If you want the browser to display a page other than the default page (such as  
a custom page that you have created and uploaded), enter a slash (/) and the  
file name to open.  
N
The browser’s Address field should display the address in the following format:  
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/{optional_file_name.html}  
The following characters are invalid in file names: {space} ~ @ = ‘ [ ] { }  
< > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.  
5.  
Press the keyboard Enter key.  
The DVS 304 checks to see if it is password protected.  
If it is not password protected, proceed to step 7.  
If it is password protected, the DVS 304 downloads the Enter Network  
Password page (figure 4-1).  
Figure 4-1 Network Password window  
N
A User name entry is not required.  
6.  
Click in the Password field and type in the appropriate administrator or user  
password.  
7.  
Click the OK button.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
The scaler checks several possibilities, in the following order, and then responds  
accordingly:  
a. Does the address include a specific file name, such as  
10.13.156.10/file_name.html? If so, the DVS 304 downloads that HTML  
page.  
b. Is there a file in the scaler’s memory that is named “index.html”?  
If so, the scaler downloads “index.html” as the default start-up page.  
c. If neither of the above conditions is true, the scaler downloads the  
factory-installed default start-up page, “nortxe_index.html”  
(figure 4-2, shown below), also known as the System Status page.  
Navigating the Default Web Pages  
The DVS 304 default Web pages include four tabs (Status, Configuration, File  
Management, and Control) for easy navigation of several administrative options  
including system status, password control, file management, and scaler settings.  
Status  
The Status tab displays the System Status page for the DVS 304.  
System Status page  
The System Status page (figure 4-2), is the default page of the on-board Web server,  
and provides an overall view of the status of the complete scaler. It provides  
immediate system information, power status and serial port settings for the DVS  
304 unit.

Configuration  
The Configuration tab includes pages that show the current system settings, scaler  
settings, passwords and firmware upgrade data for the DVS 304 series.  
System Settings page  
The Systems Settings page (figure 4-3) consists of fields where you can view and  
edit IP administration and system settings. Date and time information can be easily  
updated.  
Figure 4-3 System Settings page  
IP settings fields  
The IP settings fields provide a location for viewing and editing settings unique  
to the Ethernet interface. After editing any of the settings on this page, click the  
Submit button. Explanations for some of these fields follows.  
Unit Name  
This name field can be changed to any valid name, up to 12 alphanumeric  
characters.  
N
The following characters are invalid in the name: {space} ~ @ = ‘ [ ] { } <  
> ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.  
DHCP  
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol for  
automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP. DHCP can be used to  
automatically assign IP addresses, deliver TCP/IP stack configuration parameters  
such as the subnet mask and default router, and provide other configuration  
information such as the addresses for printer, time and news servers. For specific  
settings information, see your system administrator.  
IP Address  
The DVS 304 IP Address field contains the IP address of the connected scaler. This  
value is encoded in the flash memory in the scaler.  
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields separated by  
dots (periods). Each field can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes,  
up to 3 digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.

The 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.  
N
Editing the Extron IP address while connected via the Ethernet port can im-  
mediately disconnect the user from the scaler. Extron recommends editing this  
field using the RS-232 link and protecting the Ethernet access to this screen by  
assigning an administrator’s password to qualified and knowledgeable person-  
nel only.  
Edit this field as follows:  
1.  
Click in the DVS 304 IP address field. The graphic cursor becomes a text  
cursor.  
2.  
3.  
Edit the address as desired.  
Press the Tab key on the keyboard or click in another field to exit the IP  
Address field.  
4.  
Click on the Submit button to make the address change take affect.  
Gateway IP Address  
The Gateway IP Address field identifies the address of the gateway to the mail  
server to be used if the DVS 304 and the mail server are not on the same subnet.  
The gateway IP address has the same validity rules as the system IP address.  
Subnet Mask field  
The Subnet Mask field is used to determine whether the DVS 304 is on the same  
subnet as the controlling PC or the mail server when you are subnetting.  
Date/Time Settings fields  
The Date/Time Settings fields (figure 4-3) provide a location for viewing and  
setting the time functions. The adjustable variables are month, day, year, hours,  
minutes, AM/PM, and (time) zone.  
Change the date and time settings as follows:  
1.  
Click the desired variable’s drop box. A drop down scroll box appears.  
Click the desired value.  
2.  
For quick setting of the date and time, click the Local Date/Time.  
N
Click Cancel at any point before submitting to exit any field changes.  
The unit is not updated with those changes The screen refreshes and shows the  
current device settings.  
3.  
4.  
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all variables that need to be changed.  
If appropriate, select the Daylight Savings radio button for the DVS’s region,  
to turn on the daylight savings time feature.  
When a locations daylight savings time is turned on, the switcher automatically  
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 country or  
region selected. When Daylight Savings Time is turned off, the switcher does  
not adjust its time reference.  
N
5.  
Select the Zone variable that is relevant for the DVS’s location.  
The Zone field identifies the standard time zone selected and displays the  
amount of time, in hours and minutes, that the local time varies from the GMT  
international time reference.  
N
5. Click Submit. The device is updated with the new settings.

system, but also allows you to set video input signals (for inputs 2 and 4 only),  
define output resolutions, and remotely define advanced configurations.  
Note that resolutions in the Resolution drop-down menu are linked to refresh rates  
as shown in the “Available Scaler Output Resolutions and Rates” table in chapter 2,  
Installation and Operation.

Passwords  
The fields on the Passwords page are for entering and verifying administrator and  
user passwords. Passwords are case sensitive and are limited to 12 upper case and  
lower case alphanumeric characters. Each password must be entered twice; once  
in the Password field and then again in the Re-enter Password field. Characters in  
these fields are masked by asterisks (*****).  
N
The following characters are invalid in passwords: {space} + ~ @ = ‘ [ ] {  
} < > ’ “ ; : | \ and ?.  
If you do not want to password protect an access level, leave the Password field  
and the Re-Enter password field blank. After entering the desired password in both  
fields, click the Submit button.  
As shown in figure 4-5 below, password-protected connections allow two levels of  
protection: administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all DVS 304  
switching capabilities and editing functions.  
Figure 4-5 Passwords page  
Please keep in mind that  
Connecting via an Ethernet connection, entering SIS commands (see chapter  
3, Serial Communication) or using the Windows®-based control program to  
access the DVS 304 is password protected.  
Connecting via the RS-232 port, entering SIS commands or using the  
Windows-based control program to access the DVS 304 is not password  
protected.  
N
An administrator password must be created before a user password can be cre-  
ated.  
To clear an existing password so that no password is required, delete the asterisks  
in the Password field and place a blank space in the field. Click the Submit button.

Serial Digital Interface (SDIꢀ Card Installation  
The optional SDI card may be installed in the scaler if it does not already have an  
input for a serial digital interface signal. We recommend that you send the unit in  
to Extron for service and updates.  
N
Changes to electronic components must be performed by authorized service  
personnel only.  
Follow these steps to install an SDI card in the DVS 304.  
1.  
Disconnect the AC power cord from the DVS 304 to remove power from the  
unit.  
W
To prevent electric shock, always unplug the DVS 304 scaler from the AC  
power source before opening the enclosure.  
2.  
3.  
Remove the scaler from the rack or furniture.  
Remove the cover of the scaler (the top half of the enclosure) by removing the  
screws, then slide the cover back to clear the connectors and lift it straight up  
(figure B-1).

Do not touch any switches or other electronic components inside the  
scaler. Doing so could damage the scaler. Electrostatic discharge (ESD)  
can damage IC chips even though you cannot feel it. You must be electri-  
cally grounded before proceeding with any electronic component replace-  
ment. A grounding wrist strap is recommended.  
4.  
5.  
Locate the SDI card standoff located near the middle rear portion of the main  
circuit board (looking from above with the front panel nearest to you)  
Remove the plastic SDI cover from the rear SDI connector opening of the  
scaler and position the SDI card at an angle with the SDI connector protruding  
from the rear SDI connector opening.  
6.  
The SDI card has a 20-pin socket on the underside which should align with  
the 20 pins on the main circuit board. Be sure to align the pins properly, in  
order to prevent bending the pins, before pressing the SDI card firmly in  
place against the standoff. The mounting hole on the SDI card should now be  
directly over the standoff.  
7.  
8.  
9.  
Insert the card’s installation screw through the SDI card’s mounting hole and  
gently tighten it into the standoff.  
Install the SDI connector’s hex nut and keep the SDI card from twisting as the  
nut is tightened.  
Replace the top cover on the DVS 304 scaler, and fasten it with the screws that  
were removed in step 3.  
10. Rack/furniture mount the scaler, if desired, and reconnect the AC power cord.
