  • Page 10: Licensed Third-Party Software Used In The Dvs 605

    DVS 605 models with audio switching feature HDMI audio embedding and de-embedding. Any input audio signal can be embedded onto the HDMI output. DVS 605 audio models can also extract embedded HDMI audio to analog and digital S/PDIF outputs. The DVS 605 AD, with audio switching plus 3G-SDI/HD-SDI output, can embed up to eight channels of audio onto the SDI output.

  • Page 11: Key Features

    Key Features Video Inputs Three HDMI and two universal analog video inputs — The two universal 15-pin • HD inputs automatically detect incoming RGB, HD component video, YUVi, S-video, or composite video signals. The DVS 605 allows for seamless switching between HDMI and analog video sources.

  • Page 21: Powering Up

    Powering Up When applying power to the DVS 605, the unit undergoes a start-up self-testing sequence (see image below) and then the LCD displays the default display cycle. Default Display Cycle When in use but not in any menu mode, the LCD screen defaults to cycling through the input and output configuration currently installed.

  • Page 22: Menu Overview

    Menu Overview After start-up, when no adjustments are actively being made, the “default cycle” appears on the LCD. The screens cycle between the number and video format of the active input and the current output resolution. Pressing the Menu button once brings up the first of eight main (top level) menus, as shown in figure 9.
  • Page 23 Figure 10. Main Menu DVS 605 • Operation...

  • Page 24: User Presets

    To return to the default cycle from within any menu, press the Menu button repeatedly until the Exit menu appears, then press the Next button. Alternatively, allow the DVS 605 to time-out (after 20 seconds). Submenus are accessed from a main menu by pressing the Next button. When within a submenu, press the Menu button to go out of the submenu and back to the active main menu.

  • Page 25: Input Configuration

    Input Configuration This menu allows the user to adjust various input configuration settings such as video signal type, film mode, horizontal and vertical start position, horizontal and vertical active pixels, total pixel number, phase, HDCP Authorization, and EDID settings for the selected input. The selected input is shown as on the LCD screen images.

  • Page 26: Output Configuration

    Output Configuration The output configuration menu allows selection of output resolution and refresh rates, analog output types (RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB and Y, B-Y, R-Y), sync polarity, HDMI format, HDCP notification display, genlock setting, and offset values. Next Next Next Next RESOLUTION VGA FORMAT SYNC...
  • Page 27 When a new custom rate has been 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 five custom slots are shared between custom output resolutions (based on preferred timings 1 block) and custom EDID tables, which can be assigned to any DVS input.
  • Page 28 HDCP status: inputs and outputs Through a series of SIS commands (see SIS Communication and Control) or using PCS (see Product Configuration Software starting on page 61) the DVS 605 has the ability to report HDCP status of the HDMI input signals as well as connected HDMI sink devices. When the unit is queried, it reports feedback on the specified input (source) or output (sink) as follows: •...
  • Page 29 SDI Genlock (SDI models only) — This locks the output vertical refresh rate to the • applied analog genlock input on the SDI models. In the SDI Genlock mode, the output resolution and refresh rate of the DVS 605 must be set to exactly match the applied analog genlock signal to ensure a true genlock to the applied SDI Genlock signal.

  • Page 30: Audio Configuration (All Models)

    Audio Configuration (All Models) Audio Configuration allows the user to set analog audio volume level (-100 dB to 0 dB range), turn audio mute on or off, adjust input gain and attenuation levels (–53 dB to +24 dB range) for the current analog input. It also allows selection of an input audio format (none, analog, 2-channel digital, full digital, 2-channel auto, or full auto), and the audio output type (stereo or dual mono), which can be adjusted for each input.

  • Page 31: Advanced Configuration

    Audio delay setting The DVS automatically delays all analog and digital audio inputs to compensate for internal video processing delay. Occasionally additional audio delay is required to account for other signal processors, scalers, or display devices in a system. For these situations, the DVS 605 offers an additional 0-255 millisecond static global audio delay which can be set via SIS Audio delay (available on all models) Output...
  • Page 32 Aspect Ratio Use either Adjust knob ([ {) to set the aspect ratio to Fill or Follow. The aspect ratio setting is per input, and allows the user to select a new aspect ratio for each input signal filling the entire output raster (using Fill, the default setting). For each input rate to be displayed with its native aspect ratio, use Follow (4:3, 5:4, 15:9, 16:9, 16:10).
  • Page 33 Overscan Use the horizontal Adjust knob ([) to select input video type (RGB, YUV, RGBcvS, S-video, composite, or HDMI), and the vertical Adjust knob ({) to select the overscan mode (none, 2.5% or 5.0%). Overscan is specific to each input signal type. This zooms and crops SMPTE inputs to mask edge effects and ancillary data that are common in broadcast signals.

  • Page 34: View Comm Settings

    Temperature This is a read-only menu that gives the internal temperature (degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit) of the connected device. No adjustments can be made. Factory Reset This menu allows the user to reset the device to the factory default settings. Press and hold the Auto button until the LCD display reads RESETTING, then release the Auto button.

  • Page 35: Front Panel Lockout (Executive Modes)

    Front Panel Lockout (Executive Modes) 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). The menu system returns to the default menu within 10 seconds. Executive mode 2 locks all front panel functions except input switching, PIP enable and PIP swap, and Auto-Image.

  • Page 36: Window Vs. Image Size And Position - An Overview

    Window vs. Image Size and Position — An Overview The DVS 605 provides users the ability to adjust a window size and position and the image (the content) size and position independently with regards to the output raster. This independent control is available for both the Main and PIP windows, allowing the user comprehensive flexibility in output configurations.

  • Page 37: Picture-In-Picture (Pip) Mode

    Picture-in-Picture (PIP) Mode The DVS 605 can display two images on the screen simultaneously. The PIP window can be activated using front panel PIP button, by discrete SIS commands Picture in Picture Size and Position (see on page 42), by PIP presets, by PCS (see Page on page 86), or the embedded web pages (see PIP Settings Page...

  • Page 38: Pip Presets

    PIP Presets A PIP preset contains settings for the size and position of the PIP window and which main and PIP inputs that were active when the preset was saved. PIP presets are used to quickly recall a group of settings that relate to the main and PIP windows and content settings. Sixteen global PIP presets are available for the DVS 605.

  • Page 39: Other Dvs 605 Operating Features

    Other DVS 605 Operating Features Screen Save Screen Save mode allows the user to configure what is displayed on the video output, and for what duration, when the selected DVS 605 input loses an active video signal. By default, the DVS 605 continues to output muted (black) video and sync indefinitely. Alternatively, users have the ability to display a blue screen with a moving text bug that indicates that there is no active signal on the selected DVS 605 input.
