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.
A screen save duration can also be configured, which allows the user to set a duration that
the black or blue output video is displayed, before output sync is disabled. By disabling the
output video sync, connected display devices can enter a low power, (standby) state to
save lamp or panel life. The default duration is for output sync to never time out, but it can
be configured to disable sync 0-500 seconds after detecting no active video input. Screen
Save mode is configured via SIS command (see
place when no signal is detected on the selected input)

on page 114).

Power Save

The Power Save mode allows the user to put the DVS 605 into a low power state. Use the
SIS commands (see
Power Mode
cuts the power consumption approximately in half. While in this mode, no audio or video
input processing takes place, and all audio and video outputs are disabled. Also, all front
panel LEDs and the LCD screen backlight are disabled, and the LCD screen reads STANDBY
MODE. The user can exit Power Save mode via front panel button press, SIS command,
or internal web pages. The Power Save state is entered instantly after the command is
received, but 5-10 seconds are required to resume from Power Save.

Custom EDID/Custom Output Resolution

The user has the ability to capture EDID or import or export 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 the attached sink (display) device. This EDID can then be saved and stored in one
of five custom EDID slots, which are then available for custom EDID emulation or custom
output rate generation (custom rate based on the EDID preferred timings 1). These functions
are available via SIS (see
Minder Page
NOTE: Custom EDIDs do not have the audio blocks edited by the audio format setting.
Typically, the audio capabilities presented in an EDID for an HDMI input are automatically
determined by the current audio format setting for that input. For example, when None
or Analog audio is set, the CEA extension block is omitted from the HDMI input EDID, to
ensure a source device provides audio on its analog outputs. In the 2CH Digital and 2CH
Auto modes, a CEA EDID extension is emulated that contains support for only 2CH LPCM
digital audio formats. In the Full Digital and Full Auto modes, a CEA EDID extension is
emulated that allows for all possible digital audio formats.
However, if a custom uploaded or captured EDID is used for EDID emulation, the current
audio input setting of the HDMI input has no effect on the described audio capabilities
contained within the custom EDID file. The DVS 605 simply presents the custom EDID file
without any modifications. The audio format setting determines which audio source is used
for the HDMI input (none, analog audio, or embedded digital audio).
