Introduction

About the Scaler

Features

About the Scaler

Each DVS 100 and DVS 150 digital video scaler allows analog video signals (composite video, S-video, and component video) to be displayed on a device with a fixed resolution and aspect ratio, such as an

LCD (liquid crystal display) projector, DLP (digital light processing) projector, or plasma display.

DVS 150 includes a 15-pin HD RGB pass-through connector for RGB input. Video signals coming into the scaler from this connector are not scaled. Instead, they are passed directly to the ouputs.

Features

• Autosave — Automatically stores adjustments and uses the control settings associated with the selected input.

• Autoswitch mode — Automatically selects the active input device. If more than one input device is on, the device with the highest video quality is selected.

• Blanking — Allows noise or unwanted information, such as tape head switching and closed captioning, to be eliminated from the top and bottom of the display.

• Dual output connectors — Allow you to connect and run two output devices simultaneously.

• Executive mode — Locks out all front-panel image adjustment functions except input selection. When executive mode is active, all image adjustments are available through RS-232 commands.

• Freeze mode — Locks the output display to the current image.

• Inputs — Includes three BNC connectors for component video, one

BNC connector for composite video, and one 4-pin mini-DIN connector for S-video. The DVS 150 also includes one 15-pin HD connector for RGB pass-through input.

• Multiple control methods — Allow you to make adjustments by pressing a button on the front panel, choosing options from a menu, sending an RS-232 command from a computer, or using a remote contact closure control.

• Outputs — Outputs video as RGB, RGsB, RGBS, and RGBHV. BNC connectors and a 15-pin HD connector are provided.

1-2 DVS 100 and DVS 150 Introduction

• Output resolutions — Supports the following output resolutions:

• 640 x 480 (VGA) at 60 or 75 Hz (Hertz)

• 800 x 600 (SVGA) at 60 or 75 Hz

• 832 x 624 (Macintosh) at 60 or 75 Hz

• 848 x 480 (plasma) at 60 Hz

• 852 x 480 (plasma) at 60 or 75 Hz

• 1024 x 768 (XGA) at 60 or 75 Hz

• 1280 x 768 (plasma) at 56 Hz

• 1280 x 1024 (SXGA) at 60 Hz

• 1360 x 765 (plasma) at 60 Hz

• 480p (HDTV)

• 720p (HDTV)

• 1080p (HDTV)

• Power supply — Includes an internal, 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, autoswitchable power supply.

• Precise image processing — Provides the latest in motion compensation, which produces motion images that are free of “jaggies”; a three-

line adaptive comb filter, which eliminates chroma crawl; and a quad

standard decoder, which ensures compatibility with NTSC (National

Television Standards Committee) 3.58, NTSC 4.43, SECAM

(sequential couleur avec mémoire), and PAL (phase alternate line) video standards.

• Software-based configuration — Allows you to configure the scaler through menu controls, simplifying installation.

• Switchable sync polarities — Allow you to manually set the horizontal and vertical sync polarities, to allow the output device to store DVS input as a unique input.

The protocol is 9600 baud, 8-bit, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.

The DVS 100 or DVS 150 scaler accepts SIS™ (Simple Instruction Set™) commands through the RS-232 port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command field. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each scaler response to an SIS command ends 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.)

4-2

DVS 100 and DVS 150 Serial Communication

RS-232 Programmer’s Guide

DVS initiated messages

When a local event occurs, such as a front panel operation, the scaler responds by sending a message to the host. The DVS-initiated messages are listed below (underlined).

(C) Copyright 1999, Extron Electronics, DVS xxx, Vx.x

The copyright message is initiated by the scaler when it is first powered on. DVS xxx is the scaler model, and Vx.xx is the firmware version number.

Reconfig

The Reconfig message is initiated by the scaler when a new input is selected or when any image adjustment is made.

The scaler does not expect a response from the host, but, for example, the host program might request a new status.

DVS error response

When the scaler receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends a response back to the host device. If the scaler is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the scaler returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E01 — Invalid input channel number (too large)

E09 — Invalid function number (too large)

E10 — Invalid command

E13 — Invalid value (out of range)

Using the command/response table

The command/response table is shown on the next page. Lower case characters are acceptable in the command field only where indicated.

Symbols are used throughout the table to represent variables in the command/response fields. Symbol definitions are shown at the beginning of the table, as is an ASCII-to-hexadecimal (HEX) conversion table. Command and response examples are shown throughout the table.

Screen adjustment commands are not available if input 4 is selected

(DVS 150 only).

Remote Contact Closure Operation

The RS-232 connector provides a way to control the scaler from a remote contact closure device. This is made possible by using pins that are not normally used by the RS-232 interface. The contact closure pin assignments are shown in the table on page 4-2.

To select a different input number through the RS-232 connector, momentarily short the pin for the desired input number (#) to the signal ground (pin 5). To force one of the inputs to be selected continuously, leave the short to signal ground in place. This will override any front panel input selection.

Control Software for Windows

The Signal Enhancement Products Control Program (part # 29-017-01), which is used by the scalers, is compatible with Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95/

98, and NT. It provides remote control of scaler settings. For DVS 100, use version 3.1 or later; for DVS 150, use version 3.2 or later.

Installing the software

The program is contained on a single 3.5-inch diskette, and it can run from the floppy drive. However, it is usually more convenient to load and run the program from the hard drive.

To install the software from the floppy disk onto the hard drive, run

SETUP.EXE from the floppy disk, and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The program occupies approximately 1 MB (megabyte) of hard-drive space.

By default, the Windows installation creates a C:\S_ENHANC directory, and it places two icons (Signal Enhancement Products Control Pgm and

Signal Enhancement Products Help) into a group or folder named

“Extron Electronics”.

Troubleshooting

Operating Problems

This section gives recommendations on what to do if you have problems operating the DVS 100 or DVS 150, and it provides examples and descriptions for some image problems you might encounter.

Following are some tips to help you in troubleshooting.

1. Some symptoms may resemble others, so you may want to look through all of the examples before attacking the problem.

2. Be prepared to backtrack in case the action taken doesn’t solve the problem.

3. It may help to keep notes and sketches in case the troubleshooting process gets lengthy. This will also give you something to discuss if you call for technical support.

4. Try simplifying the system by eliminating components that may have introduced the problem or made it more complicated.

5. For sync-related problems: Portable digital projectors are designed to operate close to the video source. Sync problems may result from using long cables or from improper termination. A sync adapter, such as Extron’s ASTA (active sync termination adapter), may help solve these problems.

6. For LCD and DLP projectors and plasma displays: In addition to the sync-related information above, check the user’s manual that came with the projector for troubleshooting tips, as well as for settings and adjustments. Each manufacturer may have its own terms, so look for terms like “auto setup”, “auto sync”, “pixel phase”, and “tracking”.

Glossary

Autoswitch mode — Automatically selects the active input device. If more than one input device is on, the device with the highest video quality is selected.

Blanking, top and bottom — A feature that removes noise and unwanted information, such as tape head switching and closed captioning, from the top and bottom portions of the screen.

Channel reset — Reconfigures the settings for the active input to the original factory settings.

Detail filter — Controls the sampling of the horizontal plane, thereby affecting the sharpness or smoothness of the scaled image.

Digital video scaler — See scaler.

Executive mode — Locks out all front panel functions except input selection.

Freeze — Locks the output display to the current image.

Motion compensation — Eliminates scan lines and “jaggies” in motion video.

Precise image processing — A combination of three technologies

(motion compensation, three-line adaptive comb filter, and quad standard decoder) that produces the best possible upscaled image.

Quad standard decoder — A device, compatible with the NTSC 3.58,

NTSC 4.43, SECAM, and PAL standards, that separates the RGBS

(red, green, blue, and sync) signals from a composite, S-video, or component video signal.

DVS 100 and DVS 150 Reference Information B-3

Reference Information, cont’d

Scaling — Changes the size of an image without changing its shape.

Scaling can be used when the image size does not fit the display device. A digital video scaler converts an NTSC, PAL, or SECAM image to a size that can be displayed on a device with a fixed resolution and aspect ratio, such as an LCD (liquid crystal display) projectors, DLP (digital light processing) projectors, or plasma projector .

Sync polarity — A circuit can be designed to operate on the positivegoing or negative-going part of the sync pulse. The DVS 100 and

DVS 150 have menu options that allow you to select which edge

(positive or negative) to trigger on.

System reset — Reconfigures all DVS 100 settings to the original factory settings.

Three-line adaptive comb filter — A filter circuit that passes a series of frequencies and rejects the frequencies in between, producing a frequency response that resembles the teeth of a comb. Its precise separation of the chroma and luma signals reduces both cross chroma and cross luma artifacts (chroma crawl or “zipper” artifacts). It preserves more detail in the black-and-white, resulting in a better quality picture. Although comb filters are successful in reducing artifacts, they may also cause a certain amount of loss of resolution in the picture. Each DVS 100 and

DVS 150 uses a three-line adaptive comb filter, which examines three scan lines instead of one, producing a picture of higher quality than one produced by a standard comb filter.
