Powering Up When applying power to the DVS 605, the unit undergoes a start‑up self testing sequence (see image below) and then the LCD displays the default display cycle. Default Display Cycle When in use but not in any menu mode, the LCD screen defaults to cycling through the input/output configura...

Menu Overview After start‑up, and when no adjustments are actively being made, the “default cycle” appears on the LCD. The screens cycle between the screen that shows the number and video format of the active input and the current output resolution. Pressing the Menu button once brings up the first ...

To return to the default cycle from within any menu, press the Menu button repeatedly until the Exit menu appears, then press the Next button. Alternatively, allow the DVS 605 to time‑out (after 20 seconds).Submenus are accessed from a main menu by pressing the Next button. When within a submenu, pr...

Input Configuration This menu allows the user to adjust various input configuration settings such as video signal type, film mode, horizontal and vertical start position, horizontal and vertical active pixels, total pixel number, phase, and EDID settings for the selected input.

When a new custom rate has been captured or uploaded, the on‑screen display (OSD) dynamically updates with the new rate for that custom slot. For example if a custom 480p EDID is uploaded to slot C1, the LCD would read “C1: 720x480”. These five custom slots are shared between custom output resolutio...

HDCP Status: Inputs & Outputs Through a series of SIS commands (see “ SIS Communication and Control ” starting on page 34) the DVS 605 has the ability to report HDCP status of the HDMI input signals as well as connected HDMI sink devices. When the unit is queried, it reports feedback on the spec...

• SDI Genlock (SDI models only) — This locks the output vertical refresh rate to the applied analog genlock input on the SDI models. In the SDI Genlock mode, the output resolution and refresh rate of the DVS 605 must be set to exactly match the applied analog genlock signal to ensure a true genlock ...

Audio Configuration (All Models) Audio Configuration allows the user to set volume level (0 dB to ‑100 dB range), turn audio mute on or off, adjust input gain and attenuation levels (–53 dB to +9 dB range) for the current analog input. It also allows selection of an input audio format (none, analog,...
