DVS 605 • Setup Guide
The Extron DVS 605 Digital Video Scalers are scaling products that allow most common signal formats to be processed, scaled, and
output in any desired format. This setup guide allows an experienced user to easily and quickly set up and configure a
DVS 605 using step by step instructions. It covers how to perform basic operations using the front panel controls and selected
Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands.
NOTE: For full installation, configuration, menus, connector wiring, and operation details, see the DVS 605 User Guide,

Setting the Front Panel Locks (Executive Modes)
The DVS 605 has three modes of front panel security lock that limit the operation of the unit from the front panel.
Executive mode 0 (disabled) — The front panel is fully unlocked. This is the default setting.
Executive mode 1 (enabled) — The front panel is completely locked. It can only be enabled
and disabled using SIS commands, or through the embedded
web pages.
See the online DVS 605 User Guide for SIS commands.
Executive mode 2 (enabled) —The front panel is locked except for input switching, PIP, swap, and Auto-Image.
Step 5 — Connect power
AC power connector — Plug in a standard IEC power cord from a 100 - 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz power source into this receptacle a.
Powering Up
When powering up the DVS 605 unit, it undergoes a self testing sequence (see image below). The LCD displays the default display
cycle, with the signal type, resolution, and refresh rate for the currently selected input and the output resolution and refresh rate.
NOTE: When powered and not in any menu, the LCD screen defaults to cycling through the current input/output status. The
displayed content may vary depending on the input video signal type (see typical default display below).

Conguring the DVS 605
DVS 605 devices can be configured by any of the following: via the front panel, the Extron Configurator software, via the internal
web pages, or via RS-232/Ethernet or USB connection, using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) of commands (see rear page).
Front Panel Menu System
The scaler has seven front panel configuration menus:
•UserPresets•PictureControl•InputConguration•OutputConguration•AudioConguration•AdvancedConguration
•ViewCommSettings•ExitMenu.Ahiddenmenu(EditCommSettings)isalsoaccessible.
NOTE: To access the hidden Edit Comm Settings menu, press and hold the input 5 and the Next button simultaneously. Release
the buttons when the menu appears. Edit the setting as needed, then press Menu to exit and save the settings.
To use any menu, press the Menu button to access the main menu, then repeatedly press the Menu button to cycle through to the
desired menu. Press the Next button to enter and cycle through the desired submenu.
NOTE: Press Menu at any time to exit a submenu and return to the main menu.

To congure the DVS 605 using the front panel, follow the steps below:
1. Within the Output Configuration menu, use the Adjust knobs to select the output resolution and refresh rate, the output
signal type, and the sync polarity to match the requirements of the display device. The HDMI format can be set to match
the connected HDMI display.
2. From the Advanced Configuration menu, Test Pattern submenu, select the Alternating Pixels (Alt. Pixels) test pattern.
Adjust the connected analog display's active pixels (size), total pixels (clocking), and pixel phase (fine sync) settings for
optimal picture quality.
3. From the Advanced Configuration menu, change the test pattern to Crop, and adjust the display's position settings until
all four sides of the crop pattern are visible. Disable the test pattern. No further adjustments or Auto Images should be
performed on the display device itself.
4. Use the Advanced Configuration menu to set the Aspect Ratio (Fill or Follow) for each input. Rotate either Adjust knob to
the desired setting.
5. Perform Auto-Image on each DVS 605 input. Auto-Image is a quick way to size an input to fit the current window size.
To perform Auto-Image on the current input, press the Auto-Image button, then press it again to confirm.
NOTE: Alternatively using the Input Configuration menu, make any desired advanced adjustments, including turning on or
off Film detection, Horizontal and Vertical Start, Active Lines, Pixel Phase, and EDID setting selection.
6. Adjust the Overscan mode under the Advanced Configuration menu as required. Overscan masks Closed Caption and
ancillary data common on broadcast signals. (Applies to SMPTE input resolutions only.)
7. Use the Picture Control buttons to adjust the Horizontal and Vertical Position and Size, Brightness and Contrast, Color and
Tint, and Detail settings if needed.
8. Use the User Presets menu to save the adjustments to each input for manual recall later.
Extron Congurator Software
To configure the unit using the Extron Configurator software, the software must be installed (from the included DVD or from
www.extron.com) on a PC connected to the DVS 605 via an RS-232 or a LAN connection, or via the front panel USB config port.
Installation creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\DVS 605 folder and installs the program, a help file, and an uninstall utility.
After installation, start the program and either connect via the comm (RS-232) port, TCP/IP, or by USB. For full instructions press
<F1> or click on Help>Contents.
Web pages
The DVS 605 can be configured, controlled, and operated through the Ethernet port when connected to a LAN or WAN, using a
web browser such as Microsoft®Internet Explorer®. The browser displays the factory-installed web pages, which provide a means of
viewing and operating the device. Access the HTML pages by entering the IP address of the unit in the browser Address field.
NOTE: If the system administrator has not changed it, DHCP is On (factory default setting).
If the unit is password-protected, enter the administrator or user password in the Password field.
A user name entry is required. Enter admin for administrator level or user for user level (all lower case letters).

Upgrading the Firmware Using the Web Pages
The onboard firmware version of the DVS 605 unit can be upgraded via the factory-installed web pages when connected via the
Ethernet port to a LAN or WAN, using a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Firmware upgrade files (with an EFF or ESS extension) for the DVS 605 unit are available at www.extron.com. At the website,
browse to the file location and download the latest firmware version to a PC connected to the DVS 605.
Access the DVS 605 internal web pages by entering the IP address of the unit in the browser Address field.
When the web pages open do the following:
1. Click the Hardware button above the global navigation bar.
2. Click the Firmware Loader icon on the global navigation bar. The Firmware Loader screen opens.
3. Click Browse. The Choose File to Upload dialog box opens.
4. Browse to and select the downloaded firmware file to upload to the device. Valid firmware files have an EFF or ESS extension.
5. Click Open. This closes the dialog box and returns you to the Firmware Loader screen.
6. Click Upload. Uploading progress is displayed and will indicate when completed.
7. When the upload is complete the unit reboots. Any IP connections to the unit will need to be re-established.
