(Input 2). Input 1 is buffered, looped through, and output on a 15HD connector for use by a local monitor. The DDS 402 scales the selected input up or down to any 1 of 41 output resolutions and rates and outputs the video as both RGBHV or RGBS video and HD component video, on five BNCs and a 15HD connector.
With the included mounting brackets, the scaler can be rack mounted, or mounted under a desk or table, or against a wall or the side of a desk. The DDS 402 has an internal 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60 Hz, 30 watts auto-switchable power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.

The time delay between the RGB and sync signals is user adjustable up to five seconds on the front panel and under RS-232 control. Horizontal and vertical detail — The DDS 402 offers four levels of horizontal detail and eight levels of vertical detail. Horizontal and vertical detail minimize the loss of picture fidelity.

Freeze mode — Locks the output display to the selected image. Once an input is frozen, the input can be removed without losing the output image. This feature lets the DDS 402 function as a still store. Auto memories — The two inputs support 32 auto-recall memories each, based on the incoming frequency.

Menu button — The Menu button enters and moves through the main menu system in the DDS 402. See Front Panel Operations in this chapter for details. Next button — The Next button steps through the submenus in the DDS 402 menu system.
Input and output labels can be created easily with Extron’s Button Label Generator software, which ships with every Extron DDS 402. Each input and output can be labeled with names, alphanumeric characters, or even color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input and output selection (figure 3-2).

Input Configuration main menu or the Input #2 submenu to the Output Configuration main menu. To return to the default screens, let the DDS 402 remain idle for 10 seconds until the selected screen times out, or press the Menu button until the Exit Menu appears, then press the Next button.
It exactly matches the output rate of the DDS 402’s scaler to the frame rate of the selected input. Select this feature if you will be using motion video sources with a display that is capable of a variety of refresh rates.
Presets, saved values of the current centering and sizing settings, are saved in non- volatile memory; when the DDS 402 is powered down and later powered back up, the settings are available for selection. Saving the settings to a preset overwrites the settings previously written to that preset.
The RGB Delay submenu displays and sets the RGB delay. With RGB delay, the DDS 402 switches to the new sync signal before switching RGB (video) signals. This allows a brief delay for the displays to adjust to the new sync timing before displaying the new picture, which will appear without glitches.
CAMBOARD Electronics Operation, cont’d Reset submenu The Reset submenu resets the DDS 402 to the default values. Reset the scaler by pressing and holding the Freeze button while this submenu is Unit Reset to active. The LCD displays Unit Reset to Factory Defaults when the Factory Defaults reset is complete.
• Detail: Horizontal (Horz) adjusts from 0 to 7. Vertical (Vert) adjusts from 0 to 7. The DDS 402 picture adjustment functions time-out after 10 seconds; the adjustments are activated and saved and the LCD returns to the default display cycle.
