ATTENTION: • The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical.
Operation This section discusses the functions available through the front panel and the on-screen display (OSD) to configure and operate the DSC HD-HD. Topics include: • Front Panel Features • On-screen Display • Changing the Output Resolution and Refresh Rate • Locking the Front Panel (Executive Mode) • Resetting the Unit Front Panel Features CONFIG Extron AUDIO INPUT LPCM-2CH OUTPUT MULTI-CH A B C Figure 8.
E Menu and Enter buttons — These buttons enable you to access and make selections from the on-screen display menus (see “Using the Front Panel Buttons with the OSD Menus,” below, for detailed explanations of these buttons and the arrow buttons. F Navigation arrow buttons — These left t, right , up , and down arrow buttons enable you to step through the OSD submenus. You can also press them to lock the front panel controls (executive mode) (see page 20) and reset the output rate (see page 20).
• Up arrow — Press this button to move upward through main menu and submenu options. This button also adjusts settings for selected submenu options. • Down arrow — Press this button to move downward through main menu and submenu options. This button also adjusts settings for selected submenu options.

Press Enter again if action confirmation is requested. The yellow highlighting is replaced by the yellow outline on the menu. 8. Do any of the following: • Press the or button to move to another option on the submenu and repeat steps 5 through 7. • Press Menu to exit the submenu.
Input submenu This submenu allows you to perform certain input adjustments and to view the active lines and pixels. Figure 11. Input Submenu (DSC HD-HD) • Film Detect — This option lets you enable and disable Film Detection. After selecting the option, press any arrow button to toggle between On (the default) and Off.
Input EDIDs Resolution Match Output Rate 23.98 Hz 24 Hz 25 Hz 29.97 Hz 30 Hz 50 Hz 59.
Output Submenu This submenu allows you to configure the output of the DSC HD-HD. Figure 12. Output Submenu • Output Resolution — This option lets you select the resolution and refresh rate for the connected output display. The DSC HD-HD has a range of resolutions from which to choose (see the EDID table on the previous page for the settings that are available for this model). The available refresh rates depend on the selected resolution. To select a resolution: 1.
• HDCP Notification — This option provides a means of determining if HDCP content restrictions are preventing a video signal from passing. The DSC notifies you if you are trying to view HDCP protected content through a non-HDCP compliant HDMI/DVI display. The display shows either of the following: • A green screen with HDCP CONTENT in a bouncing text box is displayed on the output if the connected device is HDCP compliant and an HDCP input has been selected.
NOTES: • The Audio Test pattern displays a crop pattern with AUDIO TEST in a bouncing text box. It also outputs pink noise at 48 kHz, 24 bit. • By default all test patterns include a single pixel wide crop pattern line. • Screen Saver and Timeout — This option lets you enable screen saver mode, in which the video output is muted to black or blue if there is no active input video signal. It also lets you specify the output sync timeout.
Device Info Screen This read-only screen provides a quick view of certain selections, parameters, and status information for the DSC. Some of these items are also on other DSC screens. However, the Device Info screen provides them all on a single screen for a system overview. Device Info Figure 15.
Resetting the Output Rate On the front panel, Hold for XGA/720p is printed above the arrow buttons. If an output image cannot be displayed due to an incompatible output rate, you can use the front panel buttons to toggle the output rate between 1024x768 @ 60 Hz and 720p @ 60 Hz. To set the rate or toggle between the two available rates: 1. Ensure that the OSD is closed by pressing and holding the Menu button for 3 seconds. 2.
Remote Configuration and Control This section describes the connections through which the DSC can be configured and controlled remotely via SIS commands and describes the commands that are available. Topics include: • SIS Commands • Windows-based Configuration Program The DSC can be configured and controlled using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) of commands. Commands are issued via a host computer attached to the front panel USB port.
Error Responses When the DSC receives a valid command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the unit is unable to execute the command because the command contains invalid parameters, it returns an error response to the host. This code is displayed on the host interface utility screen on your computer.

Windows-based Configuration Program The Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS) is a Windows-based program for the DSC that provides a convenient way to configure the input and output, audio, and image settings. It lets you perform nearly all the other functions that can be accomplished via the front panel controls or SIS commands. Downloading the PCS Configuration Software from the Website To use the Product Configuration Software, download the program from www.extron.
3. On the PCS page, click the Downloads button near the center of the page (see figure 18). Figure 18.
4. On the next PCS page, click the PCS link, located near the bottom of the page. Figure 19. PCS Software Link on PCS Web Page The Download Center screen appears. 5. On the Download Center screen, fill in the required information, then click the Download pcss_vnxn.exe button. 6. If the File Download - Security Warning window appears, click Run to begin downloading the installer file. NOTE: If you want to save the installation file to your computer hard drive to run later, click Save.
8. Follow the instructions on the InstallShield Wizard screens to complete the software program installation. By default the installation creates a folder called “Extron PCS” in the following location on the computer: c:\Program Files (x86)\Extron\Extron PCS (for Windows 7 and later) c:\Program Files\Extron\Extron PCS (for Windows XP and earlier) or If there is not already an Extron folder in your Program Files folder, the installation program creates it as well.
5. On the main window, click the PCS menu icon in the upper-right corner (see figure 21), and select DSC HD-HD Help from the drop-down menu for the procedures for connecting to the DSC and configuring it. Figure 21.
