Introduction
About the Scaler
Extron’s 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.
The 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 outputs.
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.
• 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
