About This Guide

The DSC HD-HD 4K A Series User Guide describes the Extron DSC HDMI-to-HDMI Digital

Scaling Converters and provides instructions for experienced installers to install, configure,

and operate them.

In this guide, the terms “scaler,” “DSC,” and “DSC HD-HD 4K A Series” are used

interchangeably to refer to any of the DSC HD-HD 4K A series models. The term “PLUS

models” refers to both the DSC HD-HD 4K PLUS A and DSC HD-HD 4K PLUS A xi.

About the DSC HD-HD 4K A Series

The Extron DSC HD-HD 4K A, DSC HD-HD 4K PLUS A, and DSC HD-HD 4K PLUS A xi

are high performance, HDCP 2.2-compliant scalers capable of converting between HDMI

resolutions up to 4K with full 4:4:4 signal processing and 4K @ 60 Hz with 4.2.0. They

feature HDMI 2.0 connections that support data rates up to 18 Gbps (PLUS models) or 8.91

Gbps (non-PLUS model). All models incorporate the Extron-exclusive Vector 4K scaling

engine, specifically engineered for critical-quality 4K applications.

The two PLUS models support 4K @ 60 Hz signals at 4:4:4 on a single connection, with

the DSC HD-HD 4K PLUS A xi also supporting 4K @ 60 Hz signals as columns using two

connections. The DSC HD-HD 4K A (non-PLUS) model supports 4K @ 30 Hz signals at

4:4:4 and 4K @ 60 Hz at 4:2:0, on a single connection.

The scalers feature on-screen displays, stereo audio embedding and de-embedding,

internal test patterns, and the ability to display custom images and logos for on-screen

corporate branding and messaging. Remote configuration is available via USB and Ethernet,

while external control is available through RS-232 and Ethernet.

The DSC HD-HD 4K A Series provides deinterlacing of all interlaced signals up to 1080i,

automatic 3:2 and 2:2 pull down detection, and Deep Color Processing, and are compatible

with all DVI or HDMI display devices. The Vector 4K scaling engine provides high-

performance scaling with 30-bit precision processing and 4:4:4 color sampling, as well as

downscaling of 4K source signals for interoperability with lower resolution displays or system

components. Audio integration capabilities include discrete, selectable output analog and

digital audio muting, analog input gain and attenuation, and output volume control. They

also include a two-channel analog audio input for embedding audio onto the HDMI output

and a two-channel analog audio output for sending de-embedded audio to a sound system

or other audio destination.

All models are housed in 1U high by one-half rack wide by 9.5 inches (24 cm) deep

enclosures and can be rack or furniture mounted.

as two columns from a video source such as a workstation PC, to a display, such as a

large-venue projector.

• Distribution amplifier mode (xi model only) — The second output of the DSC HD-

HD 4K PLUS A xi can provide a duplicate of the primary output, allowing a source to be

scaled and presented simultaneously on two separate displays without the need for a

distribution amplifier.

• Advanced Extron Vector 4K scaling engine — The Vector 4K scaling engine is

specifically designed for quality-critical 4K imagery, with best-in-class image upscaling

and downscaling.

• Motion-adaptive deinterlacing for signals up to 1080i — Advanced deinterlacing

for all interlaced signals up to 1080i delivers optimized image quality.

• Displays user-supplied images for screen saver, corporate branding, logo

insertion, and HDCP notification — Custom user-loaded images can be displayed

as a screen saver for a predefined duration of inactivity at the video input, or whenever

the input is disconnected between presentations. User-supplied images can also

be displayed for HDCP Visual Confirmation, whenever HDCP-encrypted content is

transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display.

• Logo image keying and display — A logo graphic may be placed at any position

on the video output as a foreground image. Logo graphics in BMP, JPG, PNG, or TIFF

format may be uploaded to the unit. Full screen images up to 4K resolution can also be

displayed to eliminate blank screens between presentations.

• HDCP 1.4 and 2.2 compliant — Ensures display of content-protected media and

interoperability with other HDCP-compliant devices.

• HDMI audio embedding — Audio from the two-channel analog input can be

embedded onto the HDMI output.

• HDMI audio de-embedding — Embedded HDMI two-channel PCM audio can be

extracted to the analog output.

DSC HD-HD 4K A Series • Introduction 2

• 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 (standard 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.

• 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. This allows the

projector or flat-panel display to automatically enter into standby mode to save energy

and enhance lamp or panel life.

DSC HD-HD 4K A Series • Installation 8

ATTENTION:

• 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 peuvent être tirés facilement, même s’ils sont

correctement serrés par les borniers à vis.

• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw

terminals and could pull out.

• Ne pas étamer les câbles. Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés

dans les borniers à vis <connecteurs> et pourraient s’arracher.

• 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 (–).

Ethernet LAN connector (see figures 3 and 4 on page 7) — Plug an Ethernet cable

into this RJ-45 jack to connect the unit to a computer network. Ethernet control allows

you to configure and control the DSC from a remote location using SIS commands, the

PCS software, or the embedded web pages. When connected to an Ethernet LAN, the

DSC can be accessed from a computer running a standard Internet browser. Use a

patch or crossover cable to connect the DSC to a switch, router, or computer.

The LAN connector contains two LEDs (see the illustration at right):

• Amber LED — This LED blinks to indicate LAN signal activity.

• Green LED — This LED lights steadily to indicate a LAN connection.

A cable that is wired as T568A at one end

and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs

reversed) is a "crossover" cable.

A cab

le that is wired the same at both ends

is called a "straight-through" cable, becaus

no pin or pair assignments are swapped.

Reset LED (see figures 3 and 4 on page 7) — This green LED remains lit while the

DSC has power. While the Reset button (

) is being pressed and held, this LED blinks

every 3 seconds to indicate the level of reset that will be initiated if the button is released

at that point (see Resetting on page 43 for more information).

Reset button — This recessed button initiates levels (modes) of reset on the DSC. To

initiate the different reset levels, use a pointed object such as a small Philips screwdriver

or a stylus to press and hold the button while the DSC is running or while it is being

powered up (see Resetting).

Audio output connector — Connect an amplifier or other audio output device to this

5-pole captive screw connector for analog output as shown in figure 7.

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).

NOTE: If the 4K source or the 4K sink device supports 4K signals using right and left

columns, connect the inputs and outputs as shown in figures 10 and 11 on the next

page to process 4K video.

DSC HD-HD 4K A Series • Installation 11

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).

Output signals can be sent over two wires in a split, “column” configuration (left and right

1920x2160 or 2048x2160 columns). The left column (the left half of the image) is sent to the

sink through a cable connected between output A and the sink, while the right column is

passed to the sink through another cable connected to output B. The sink then combines

the two columns and displays them as a single image (see the example in figure 11).
