DSC 401 and DSC 401 A • Setup Guide
The Extron DSC 401 and DSC 401 A are high-performance, energy-efficient, HDMI-to-HDMI scalers capable of converting
between resolutions up to 4K @ 60 Hz with full 4:4:4 color sampling and 10-bit color. They support data rates up to 18 Gbps
and are HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.3 compliant. Both models feature an on-screen display (OSD), internal test patterns, and status
LEDs. The DSC 401 A model also features audio embedding and de-embedding, logo image keying and display, input presets,
and Ethernet control with power over Ethernet (PoE). The DSC 401 and DSC 401 A scalers are designed for locations such as
conference rooms or auditoriums where video conferencing, lecture capture, signal preview, and high-quality 4K scaling of HDMI
signals in a compact package is required.
Configuration and control options include front panel buttons and knobs, the OSD menu system, Simple Instruction Set™ (SIS™)
commands, Product Configuration Software (PCS), and Toolbelt software.
This setup guide provides step-by-step instructions for an experienced user to set up and configure the DSC 401 and 401 A. The
