DSC HD-HD 4K A Series Introduction 2

11 User-selectable HDCP authorization Allows the unit to appear HDCP compliant or non HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP-compliant device. Protected material is not passed in non HDCP mode. Supported HDMI 2.0 specification features include data rates up to 18 Gbps (PLUS models) and up to 8.91 Gbps (non-plus model), Deep Color, and HD lossless audio formats. EDID Minder automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices EDID Minder ensures that the source powers up properly and reliably outputs content for display. Supports custom EDID and output resolutions Three user-defined scaling output resolutions can be supported by uploading custom EDID files, or capturing EDID from a display or other destination device. Aspect ratio control The aspect ratio of the video output can be controlled by selecting a fill mode, which provides a full screen output, or a follow mode, which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal. HDCP authentication and signal presence confirmation Provides real-time verification of HDCP status for the digital video input and output. This allows for quick signal and HDCP verification through front panel LEDs, RS 232, USB, or Ethernet, providing feedback to a system operator or help desk support staff. HDCP Visual Confirmation A full-screen green signal or a user-supplied image file is displayed when HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non HDCP compliant display, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display. HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction Automatically enables or disables embedded audio and InfoFrames, and sets the correct color space for proper connection to HDMI and DVI displays. Accu-RATE Frame Lock (AFL) A patented technology exclusive to Extron that locks the output frame rate to the input to eliminate stuttering caused by frame rate conversion. Front panel LEDs for video, HDCP, and audio presence plus power Provide visual indication of system status for real-time feedback and monitoring of key performance parameters. Image freeze control A live image can be frozen using RS 232 serial control, USB, or Ethernet control. Auto-Image setup When Auto-Image is activated, the unit automatically optimizes the image by analyzing and adjusting to the video input signal. This is useful in setting up a newly connected source, particularly in presentation environments where different guest presenter laptops with various output resolutions will be connected. Auto Input Memory When auto memory is activated, the unit stores size, position, and picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected again, these image settings are recalled from memory. On screen menus OSD menus enable system setup from the front panel controls. Key parameters such as input and output video formats are grouped on the initial Quick Setup screen, while additional screens provide full control over other unit functions and settings. DSC HD-HD 4K A Series Introduction 3

12 Output Standby Mode The unit can be set to automatically mute video and sync output to the display device when no active input signal is detected.

ATTENTION: Unbalanced Stereo Input Wiring the Audio Input Connector Do not tin the wires! The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If the exposed portion is longer, the wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If the exposed wires are shorter, they can be easily pulled out, even if tightly fastened by the captive screws. La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l on entreprend de les dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5 mm (3/16 inches). S ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit. S ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s ils sont attachés par les vis captives. Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become loose over time. Ne pas étamer les câbles. Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés dans les terminaisons des <connecteurs> à vis captives et pourraient sortir. For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. Do not connect them to negative ( ) contacts. Pour l audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au sol. Ne PAS connecter les manchons aux contacts négatifs ( ). DSC HD-HD 4K A Series Installation 8

ATTENTION: L R No Ground Here Tip Sleeves Tip No Ground Here Unbalanced Audio Output Wiring the Audio Output Connector L R Do not tin the wires! For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. Do not connect them to negative ( ) contacts. Pour l audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au sol. Ne PAS connecter les manchons aux contacts négatifs ( ). The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If the exposed portion is longer, the wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If the exposed wires are shorter, they can be easily pulled out, even if tightly fastened by the captive screws. La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l on entreprend de les dénuder. S ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit. S ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s ils sont attachés par les vis captives. Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become loose over time. Ne pas étamer les câbles. Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés dans les terminaisons des connecteurs à vis captives et pourraient sortir. Connecting for 4K Processing Input and output connections to the DSC HD-HD 4K A Series can vary depending on the capability of your source or sink to process signals at 4K resolution on one cable. Single Input to Single Output For a single-input to single-output configuration, the 4K source or sink must be capable of passing a 4K signal on a single cable (see the example in figure 8) VAC ~ -- A MAX AUDIO IN Hz DSC HD-HD 4K Plus A INPUT HDMI OUTPUT HDMI L R L R AUDIO OUT LAN REMOTE RS -232 Tx Rx G RESET DSC HD-HD 4K PLUS A 3840 x 60Hz with Embedded Audio 60Hz with Embedded Audio Blu-ray Player Figure 8.

20 Two Input Columns to a Single Output (xi Model Only) Input signals can be received over two wires in a column configuration (left and right 1920x2160 or 2048x2160 columns) and processed as a single 4K image. The left signal column is sent through a cable from the source device to DSC Input A, and the right column through a second cable to DSC Input B. The DSC combines the two input signal columns into one signal, then displays a single scaled output to output A or to outputs A and B (see the example in figure 10).

46 Device Info Screen This read-only screen provides a quick view of certain selections, parameters, and status information for the DSC. NOTE: The following example shows a DSC HD-HD 4K PLUS A xi Device Info screen, which shows two inputs (Input A and Input B) and two outputs (Output A and Output B). The non-xi models include only a single Input and Output. Figure 31. Device Info Screen, xi Model Example Auto-Image When Auto-Image is performed, the DSC attempts to size and position the image to fill the display screen (fill mode) or use the native aspect ratio of the input (follow mode). Only the horizontal and vertical image positioning and the horizontal and vertical image size are adjusted by the Auto-Image. All other controls are left unchanged. If the aspect ratio has been set to Fill, the horizontal and vertical image position returns to 0,0 and the horizontal and vertical image size is set to match the current output rate. If the aspect ratio has been set to Follow, the horizontal and vertical image position and size are set to maintain the native aspect ratio of the input rate with respect to the current output resolution. Auto-Image is useful in applications in which a variety of new input sources may be encountered (such as when a matrix switcher is connected). It is also useful for centering and sizing an image that has been adjusted out of default settings. DSC HD-HD 4K A Series Operation 38

47 You can perform a one-time Auto-Image by the following methods: Front panel button While the OSD is not displayed, press the Auto-Image ( ) button twice. The first press displays the message Press Auto again to Confirm on the OSD. The second press initiates the Auto-Image. OSD submenu Select Auto-Image from the Picture Controls submenu (see page 23). SIS commands (see the Auto-Image commands on page 54). PCS software (see the DSC HD-HD 4K A Series help file). Changing the Output Resolution and Refresh Rate Custom Rates In addition to the Output submenu (see page 28), other methods for setting the output resolution and refresh rate include resetting the output rate using the front panel button (see Resetting the Output Rate on page 39, SIS commands (see the Output Configuration commands beginning on page 59), and the PCS software program (see the DSC HD-HD 4K A Series help file). In addition to the 80 factory output resolutions, three custom user-defined rates are available. Using SIS commands, the Capture Display EDID item on the Input submenu, or the PCS software program, you can capture the EDID of the device connected to the HDMI output or upload a custom EDID file from a computer (see the Output Scaler Rate commands on page 59 or the PCS software DSC HD-HD 4K A Series help file). When no custom EDIDs are defined, these three custom slots default to 60 Hz. The OSD dynamically updates based on the current file stored in the custom EDID slot. For example, if a custom 720p EDID has been uploaded, the OSD would display C1: 60 Hz. See the Output Rate item of the Output submenu on page 28 for more information. When you set this resolution using the menu system, a confirmation prompt appears. If you do not respond to the prompt by pressing Enter within 20 seconds, the DSC reverts to the previous resolution. Resetting the Output Rate If an output image cannot be displayed due to an incompatible output rate, you can use the front panel down arrow button to toggle the output rate between 60 Hz (XGA) and 1280x Hz. To set the rate or toggle between the two rates: 1. Ensure that the OSD is closed by pressing and holding Menu for 3 seconds. 2. Press and hold the button until a message appears on the display indicating the new rate (approximately 5 seconds). NOTE: On the front panel, the button is labeled Hold for XGA/720p. DSC HD-HD 4K A Series Operation 39

48 Power Save Mode In power save (standby) mode, all non-essential hardware is shut down in order to conserve power. The default state for power save mode is Off. To enable power save mode, enter the Power Save ON SIS command (see the Power Save Mode commands on page 60). While the DSC is in power save mode, the Status LED (power and signal) blinks amber slowly. To exit power save mode, do one of the following: Enter the Power Save OFF SIS command. Press any front panel button (if the front panel is locked, this method does not work). Cycle power to the unit. NOTE: Many functions in the PCS software, such as backup and restore, are not accessible while the unit is in power save mode. Presets A preset is a set of input parameters that are either saved by you or automatically by the DSC as a file in DSC memory. Saved presets can be recalled and their settings implemented at any time. A preset saves time by enabling you to apply a group of settings to the DSC at one time. The DSC HD-HD 4K A Series scalers have two types of presets: Auto Memories and input presets. Auto Memories The DSC has 32 memory locations in which the current input configuration and picture control values are automatically stored as a preset, when Auto Memory is enabled. An Auto Memory preset is recalled when an identical input resolution and rate is applied to the input. Auto memories can be enabled using the OSD (see the Auto Memory item on the Advanced submenu on page 35), by SIS commands (see the Auto Memories commands on page 58), and the PCS software (see the DSC HD-HD 4K A Series help file). The following information is stored in an Auto Memory preset: Contrast Brightness Detail Active pixels (H Active) Active lines (V Active) Horizontal image position Vertical image position Horizontal image size (width) Vertical image size (height) DSC HD-HD 4K A Series Operation 40

49 Input Presets The DSC HD-HD 4K A Series scalers have 128 memory slots in which you can save input presets. These presets allow a matrix switcher with multiple types of video inputs (such as an XTP) to be placed upstream from the DSC to expand the number of video sources. Input presets can be saved and recalled only through SIS commands (see the Input Presets commands on page 59). When you recall an input preset, it fills the output raster based on the sizing and positioning that it had at the time it was saved. Input presets can be saved based on one input rate and recalled to a different rate. This enables presets to be used as aspect ratio or other quick-sizing shortcuts. Values for the following settings are saved in input presets: Contrast Brightness Detail Film detect Audio gain and attenuation Active pixels (H Active) Active lines (V Active) Horizontal image position Vertical image position Horizontal image size (width) Vertical image size (height) Preset name Saving a preset when using a matrix switcher When using the DSC with a matrix switcher, do the following to save a preset: 1. Switch each input of the matrix to the DSC. 2. Configure each input: size, position, detail, brightness, and contrast. The remaining settings (active pixels and lines) are not user-configurable, but are stored automatically as part of the preset. 3. Save the settings to a preset for recall by the control system when that matrix input is routed to the HDMI input. Locking the Front Panel (Executive Mode) To prevent access by unauthorized users or accidental changes to the DSC settings, you can lock the front panel controls by placing the DSC in executive mode. In this mode, all front panel buttons are disabled and control is available only by SIS commands. To lock the front panel, do any of the following: Press and hold the front panel Menu and buttons until the OSD displays the message Executive Mode Enabled (approximately 5 seconds). The message remains on the OSD approximately 2 seconds. Enter the Enable SIS command (see the Front Panel Lock (Executive Mode) commands on page 65). Select Lock Front Panel on the General Settings screen of the PCS software (see the DSC HD-HD 4K A Series help file). To unlock the front panel, do any of the following: Press and hold the front panel Menu and buttons again until the OSD displays the message Executive Mode Disabled (approximately 5 seconds). The message remains on the OSD approximately 2 seconds. Enter the Disable SIS command (see the Front Panel Lock (Executive Mode) commands). Select Unlock Front Panel on the PCS software General Settings screen (see the DSC HD-HD 4K A Series help file). DSC HD-HD 4K A Series Operation 41

50 Resetting Resetting the unit causes various settings to revert to the defaults that were set at the factory. Resets can be performed via the front panel buttons, the rear panel Reset button, the OSD, the PCS software, or SIS commands. The following resets are available: Factory defaults This reset clears all user-specified settings but retains the TCP/IP settings. You can perform this reset by: Selecting Factory Reset from the Advanced submenu of the OSD (see the Factory Reset item on the Advanced submenu on page 36) Entering the SIS command to reset all device settings to factory default (see the Resets commands on page 66) Selecting Reset Device from the Device tab menu in the PCS software When the reset is complete, the message Factory Reset is displayed on the OSD. Resetting using the Reset button The Reset Modes Summary table summarizes the reset modes that are accessible via the recessed Reset button on the rear panel.

Performs a complete reset to factory defaults except the firmware. Does everything that mode 4 does. Resets all user-modifiable configuration to default values, including IP settings and real-time adjustments. Deletes all user-loaded files, including user images. The Reset LED blinks four times in quick succession during the reset. Use mode 1 to remove a version of firmware for one power cycle if incompatibility issues arise. Mode 4 sets all IP information to factory defaults. It does not replace any user-installed firmware. This is equivalent to the SIS command 1ZQQQ. Mode 5 is useful if you want to start over with the default configuration. This is equivalent to the SIS command ZQQQ. NOTE: Mode 5 reset clears all adjustments. To save these settings, use the PCS software program and select Backup from the DSC HD-HD 4K PLUS A tab menu before you perform this reset (see the control DSC HD-HD 4K A Series help file for more information).

51 Remote Configuration and Control This section describes the methods by which the DSC HD-HD 4K A Series can be configured and controlled remotely: the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands, the web page, and the PCS software. It describes the available SIS commands and the controls on the web page and also provides instructions for obtaining and accessing the PCS software. Topics include: SIS Commands Command and Response Table for SIS Commands Product Configuration Software (PCS) Program DSC HD-HD 4K A Series Web Page SIS Commands Copyright Information You can use SIS commands to configure and control the DSC via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS-232 connector, the front panel USB port or the rear panel LAN port. Enter commands using an application such as the Extron DataViewer, available at (see the DataViewer Help file to use this program). The RS-232 port uses a protocol of 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the DSC determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the scaler to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more characters). The DSC sends the following copyright message if power is cycled while the DSC is connected to the host. It displays on the computer screen only with an RS-232 connection. ] (c) Copyright 20nn, Extron Electronics, DSC HD-HD 4K [PLUS] A [xi], Vn.nn, n] Www, DD Mmm YYYY hh:mm:ss] (Where 20nn is the year, Vn.nn is the firmware version, n is the model number, and Www is the day of the week.)

94 Mounting This section contains information on mounting the DSC HD-HD 4K A Series scaler (see for available Extron mounting kits and ordering information). The DSC HD-HD 4K A Series scalers can be mounted by any of the methods listed below. Follow the instructions provided with the mounting kit. Rack mounting: Attach the DSC to a standard 19-inch rack shelf. The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the DSC HD-HD 4K A series in a rack: Elevated operating ambient temperature If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +122 F, +50 C) specified by Extron. Reduced air flow Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Mechanical loading Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition. Circuit overloading When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern. Reliable earthing (grounding) Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips). Under-furniture mounting: Mount the DSC under the surface of a desk, table, or podium. Through-furniture mounting: Mount the DSC through a table or desk in which a hole has been cut to enable access to the front panel. Free-standing: Attach the included four rubber feet to the bottom of the DSC in the four corners and place the unit on furniture as desired. DSC HD-HD 4K A Series Mounting 86
