Key Features  
Inputs  
Video — The DSC 301 HD has the following connectors: one HDMI connector,  
one 15-pin HD connector for RGBHV or HD/SD component video, and one BNC  
connector for composite video.  
Auto-Image setup — When activated, the unit automatically detects the resolution  
of the incoming video signal and sets the total pixels, phase, active pixels, and active  
lines, as well as the horizontal and vertical starting points.  
Auto Input memory — When activated, the unit automatically saves input sampling  
and picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected  
again, these image settings are automatically recalled from memory.  
Auto-switching between inputs — Auto-switching allows for simple, unmanaged  
installation in locations such as in a lectern or under a conference table. When  
multiple inputs are active, the switching priority is configurable.  
HDMI, RGB, HDTV, and video scaling to HDMI — Digital and analog video sources  
can all be scaled to high resolution HDMI output.  
Clean switching — Clean cut through black and fade through black transition  
effects are available to enhance presentations by eliminating distractions during input  
switching.  
Audio — The DSC 301 HD has the following connectors: three 3.5 mm stereo mini  
jacks for analog audio input, and an embedded HDMI digital audio input.  
HDMI audio embedding — Analog input audio signals can be embedded onto the  
HDMI output signal.  
Audio input gain and attenuation — Gain or attenuation can be adjusted for each  
analog audio input to eliminate noticeable differences when switching between  
sources.  
Audio input assignment — Each video input can be assigned to any analog audio  
input. This enables all three video inputs to share a single analog audio input. The  
HDMI input can be set to pass incoming digital audio, embed the analog audio, or to  
automatically embed the analog audio when no digital audio is detected.  
Outputs  
Video and Audio — The DSC 301 HD has one HDMI output.  
Selectable output — Available output rates include computer-video 640x480 up to  
1920x1200, HDTV rates up to 1080p/60, and 2048x1080.  
Output Standby Mode — Can be set to automatically mute video and sync  
output to the display device when no active input signal is detected. This allows  
the projector or flat-panel display to automatically enter into standby mode to save  
energy and enhance lamp or panel life.  
Aspect ratio control — The aspect ratio of the video output can be controlled by  
selecting a FILL mode, which provides a full screen output, or a FOLLOW mode,  
which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.  
HDCP authentication and signal presence confirmation — Provides real-time  
verification of HDCP status for each digital video input and output. This allows for  
simple, quick, and easy signal and HDCP verification through front panel LEDs or  
RS-232, providing valuable feedback to a system operator or helpdesk support staff.

HDCP Visual Confirmation — This provides a full screen green output signal when  
HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, providing  
immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the  
display.  
HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction — Automatically enables or disables  
embedded audio and infoframes, and sets the correct color space for proper  
connection to HDMI and DVI displays.  
AFL (Accu-RATE Frame Lock) — A patented technology exclusive to Extron that  
locks the output frame rate to a designated input to eliminate stuttering caused by  
frame rate conversion.  
Audio switching transitions — The audio output level automatically ramps down  
and then ramps up during switching transitions.  
Integrated audio delay — The audio output is automatically delayed to compensate  
for latency introduced by the video processing.  
General

Input AFL — Select this to turn the Extron Accu-Rate Frame Lock (AFL) on or off.  
When enabled, this mode locks the output vertical refresh rate to the vertical refresh rate  
of the currently selected input using Accu-Rate Frame Lock technology. This ensures  
no frames of the input are repeated or dropped due to frame rate conversion. Input AFL  
mode will cause glitches and/or interruptions in the output sync when a new input is  
selected, or when a new signal has been routed to the selected input, as the DSC 301 HD  
locks to the new vertical refresh rate.  
If no input signal is detected (AFL disabled), or if locking to the input signal is not possible,  
a free running pixel clock is generated by the DSC 301 HD.

Screen Saver and Timeout — Select the screen saver to mute the video output when  
no active video is detected. The screen saver can be set to a black (default) or a blue  
background for a specific (time-out) duration, before the output sync is disabled. The  
time-out duration can be set to Never (default), or to any duration from 1-500 seconds.  
The screen saver option allows connected display devices to go into a low power standby  
mode when the DSC 301 HD has no active input.  
Input x: Auto-Image — Select this to turn the per-input Auto-Imaging mode on or off.  
Auto-Image automatically attempts to size and position the image to Fill (or Follow the  
native aspect ratio of the input) the screen every time a new input signal is detected.  
When enabled, Auto Image mode is activated by switching physical inputs on the DSC  
(e.g. IN2 to IN3), or by any interruption in input sync, even if the same input resolution is  
detected (e.g. disconnecting and reconnecting the same input), or by a power cycle.  
Input x: Aspect Ratio — Select this to set the per-input Aspect Ratio to FILL (fills the  
entire output raster) or to FOLLOW (follows the native aspect ratio of the input).  
When in Fill mode, if an Aspect Ratio adjustment for a single input rate is desired, the  
correct size and center can be manually set up under Picture Controls (Image Size and  
Position).  
When in the Follow mode, each input rate will be displayed with its native aspect ratio  
(4:3, 5:4, 15:9, 16:9, 16:10) with the correct letter box or pillar box settings visible under  
the Image Size and Center Picture Controls.  
Input x: Auto Memory — Select this to turn the per-input Auto Memory on or off.  
The DSC 301 HD has 32 Auto Memory locations per input, for RGB/YUV and HDMI  
inputs. YUV and RGB signals on the same input have unique Auto Memories; for example  
720p YUV and 720p RGB are stored with unique Auto Memory settings.  
Auto memory locations store the same Input Config and Picture Control values as an  
Input Preset, except for Input Type, Preset Name, Film Mode, or Audio Gain/Att.  
Overscan — Select this to set the overscan mode (0%, 2.5% or 5.0%) per input type.  
This zooms and crops SMPTE inputs to mask edge effects and ancillary data that are  
common in broadcast signals. Issuing an Auto-Image with overscan enabled, runs an  
Auto Phase routine (YUV and RGB only) and centers and sizes the input according to  
table values.  
NOTE: Overscan is valid only on SMPTE input rates (NTSC, PAL, SECAM, 480p,  
576p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p, or 2k).  
Auto Switch — Select this to turn the Auto Switch mode on or off, and to set the priority.  
The Auto Switch setting allows for basic, unmanaged, input switching based on the  
presence of active input signals. Auto Switch mode options are:  
disabled (off)  
setting priority to “high to low” (input 3 to input 1)  
setting priority to “low to high” (input 1 to input 3).  
Factory Reset — This resets the device back to factory defaults (retains current firmware).  
NOTE: “FACTORY RESET” is displayed on the OSD for 1 minute after the reset to  
allow time for the display device to sync with the DSC 301 HD output.  
To reset the DSC 301 HD to factory setting, including original shipped firmware, press and  
hold the Enter button for 20 seconds while applying power. The message “FIRMWARE  
RESET” is displayed on the OSD to indicate the reset is completed.  
When a FIRMWARE RESET is applied, the loaded current firmware is deleted and only the  
factory firmware remains on the device.

Figure 15. Resolution and Refresh Rates  
When a new custom rate is captured or uploaded, the On-screen Display (OSD)  
dynamically updates with the new rate for that custom slot. For example, if a custom  
480p EDID is uploaded to slot C1, the LCD would read “C1: 720x480”. These three  
custom slots are shared between custom output resolutions (based on preferred timings 1  
block) and custom EDID tables, which can be assigned to any input.

Custom EDID or Custom Output Resolution  
The user has the ability to capture EDID or upload EDID files to make custom EDID  
available for emulation on inputs, or for the generation of custom output resolutions. The  
user can import a 128 or 256 byte EDID “.bin” file from a PC or can capture the EDID from  
an attached sink (display) device. This EDID can then be saved and stored in one of three  
custom EDID slots, which are then available for custom EDID emulation or custom output  
rate generation (custom rate based on the EDIDs preferred timings). These functions are  
available via SIS (see the table on page 18).  
Power Save  
The DSC 301 HD has a power save mode that allows the user the ability to put the unit  
into a low power state, via SIS command (see “Power Save Mode” on page 31). This  
state effectively cuts the power consumption of the DSC in half. While in this mode, no  
audio or video input processing takes place, the HDMI output and all front panel LEDs are  
disabled.  
The user has the ability to exit Power Save mode via any front panel button press, or by  
disabling Power Save via SIS command.  
The Power Save state is entered instantly after the associated command has been  
received, but 5-10 seconds are required to resume from the Power Save state.  
Output Rate Reset  
If an output image cannot be displayed due to an incompatible output rate, the  
DSC 301 HD can be reset via the front panel to either 1024x768 @60 Hz or 720p @60Hz.  
To set the rate or toggle between 1024x768 @60 Hz and 720p @60Hz :  
Press and hold inputs 1 and 3 simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds. The output  
rate becomes 1024x768 @60 Hz. Again, press and hold inputs 1 and 3 simultaneously for  
another 3 seconds and the output rate becomes 720p @60 Hz.  
NOTE:  
The output rate will subsequently toggle between 1024x768 @60 Hz and  
720p @60Hz each time inputs 1 and 3 are simultaneously pressed and held  
down for 3 seconds.  
Front Panel Lockout (Executive Modes)  
The DSC 301 HD has three modes of front panel security lock that limit the operation of  
the unit from the front panel.  
Executive mode 0 (disabled) — The front panel is fully unlocked. This is the default  
setting.  
Executive mode 1 (enabled) — The front panel is completely locked. This mode can  
only be enabled and disabled using SIS commands.  
NOTE: When Executive mode 1 is implemented and a front panel button is  
pressed, an OSD message indicates that Executive Mode 1 is enabled.  
Executive mode 2 (enabled) — The front panel is locked except for input switching. This  
mode can be enabled and disabled using front panel buttons or SIS commands.  
To prevent accidental changes to settings, press the Menu and Next buttons  
simultaneously for 2 seconds to enable front panel lockout mode (Executive Mode 2). An  
OSD message is displayed indicating Executive Mode 2 is enabled.  
To unlock it via the front panel, press the Menu and Next buttons simultaneously for 2  
seconds. An OSD message is displayed indicating Executive Mode 2 is disabled.

SIS Communication  
and Control  
The DSC 301 HD can be configured and controlled via a host computer or other device  
(such as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS-232 connector or the front panel  
USB port. Control is made using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) of commands.  
Commands can be entered using a Telnet application such as the Extron DataViewer,  
available at www.extron.com. See the DataViewer Help file for use.  
This section describes SIS communication and control. Topics that are covered include:  
REMOTE  
RS-232  
The scaler uses a protocol of 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow  
control and the rear panel remote port RS-232 captive screw connector has  
the pin assignments as shown at right.  
Tx Rx G  
Host-to-Scaler 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 DSC 301 HD 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 = ]), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more  
characters).  
Scaler-initiated Messages  
When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the  
DSC 301 HD scaler responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required  
from the host. Example scaler-initiated messages are listed here.  
InX!All ](where X!is the input number during an input switch).  
Reconfig]The DSC 301 HD sends this response when a new signal is detected.  
HplgO X@ ] The DSC 301 HD sends this response when a hot plug event on  
output X@ is detected.

Error Responses  
When the DSC 301 HD 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.  
Error Numbers  
E01— Invalid input number  
E10— Invalid command  
E11— Invalid preset number  
E13— Invalid parameter  
E14— Not valid for this configuration  
E17— Invalid command for signal type  
E22— Busy  
E25 — Device not present  
Error Response References  
14 = Commands that give an E14 (invalid command for this configuration) error if sent to a  
product whose current configuration does not support the command  
Commands and Responses  
Using the Command and Response Tables  
The command and response table for SIS commands later in this chapter lists the  
commands that the DSC 301 HD scaler recognizes as valid, the responses that are  
returned to the host, a description of the commands function or the results of executing  
the command, and an example of each command in ASCII (Telnet) and URL encoded  
(web).
