Extron DSC HD-HD 4K PLUS A HDMI to HDMI 4K/60 Scalers with Audio Em...
The Extron DSC HD‑HD 4K PLUS A and DSC HD‑HD 4K PLUS A xi are high-performance scalers capable of converting between HDMI resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz. These HDCP 2.3‑compliant scalers feature HDMI 2.0 connections that support data rates up to 18 Gbps. They incorporate the Extron-exclusive Vector 4K™ scaling engine, specifically designed for critical-quality 4K applications including full-motion video and highly detailed computer graphics. Both models support single path 4K signals at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 processing. The DSC HD‑HD 4K PLUS A xi also supports dual path 4K/60 signals at 4:4:4 using two connections. Integrator-friendly features include on‑screen display, stereo audio embedding and de‑embedding, internal test patterns, and the ability to display custom images and logos for on‑screen messages and corporate branding.
Versatile 4K Signal Integration
The DSC HD‑HD 4K PLUS A scaler can process single-path 4K signals. For applications requiring more advanced 4K signal management, the DSC HD‑HD 4K PLUS A xi features a pair of HDMI inputs and outputs. The additional input and output allow integration with PC graphics cards and large-venue projectors that support 4K as two columns. For digital signage applications, a pair of 1080p inputs can be displayed side-by-side on a single 4K output. Alternatively, the DSC HD‑HD 4K PLUS A xi can deliver two simultaneous scaled outputs up to 4096x2160 at 60 Hz for feeding two downstream displays without the need for a distribution amplifier.
Vector 4K Scaling
Both scalers incorporate the Extron-exclusive Vector 4K scaling engine, developed in‑house and engineered to deliver best-in-class image upscaling and downscaling. The Vector 4K engine embodies several Extron-patented scaling technologies, plus a new set of image processing algorithms that deliver uncompromising scaling performance. This enables sharp, accurate scaling of standard definition and high definition signals up to 4K, as well as downscaling of 4K source signals for lower resolution displays without losing critical image detail.
High Performance Video Processing
The DSC HD‑HD 4K PLUS A scalers provide high performance deinterlacing of all interlaced signals up to 1080i, and Deep Color processing to deliver optimal image quality. Automatic 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection maximizes image quality for content sources originating from film. Additionally, the color space and chroma sampling of the HDMI output can be automatically set to ensure compatibility with a connected DVI or HDMI display.
Selectable FILL and FOLLOW modes are also available to ensure the proper aspect ratio of the output. FILL mode provides full screen output, while FOLLOW mode preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.
Display Custom Images and Logos
These scalers provide the convenience of uploading custom images, which can be displayed as a screen saver after a predefined duration of inactivity at the video input, or whenever the input is disconnected between presentations. A customized image can also be displayed whenever HDCP‑encrypted content is transmitted to a non‑HDCP compliant display.
A custom graphic logo, such as a company logo, can be inserted into any presentation. Several key effects are available, and a logo can be positioned anywhere on‑screen.
Enhanced Audio Capabilities
DSC HD‑HD 4K Series A scalers include a convenient two‑channel analog audio input for embedding audio onto the HDMI output, as well as a two‑channel analog audio output for sending de‑embedded audio to a sound system or other audio destination. They also deliver essential audio integration capabilities, including discrete, selectable analog and digital audio muting, input gain and attenuation, and output volume control.
Multiple Options for Control and Operation
DSC HD‑HD 4K PLUS A scalers feature front panel controls for quick access to functions. Remote configuration is available via USB and Ethernet, while external control is available through RS‑232 and Ethernet. The on‑screen menus provide control over the unit's functions and settings, including quick access to key parameters such as input and output video formats and resolutions. Additionally, LED indicators on the front panel provide visual confirmation of video input and output signals, audio input and output signals, and the presence of HDCP encryption. They are housed in 1U, half rack width metal enclosures and can be easily integrated into a variety of environments.

- Outputs: One HDMI for DSC HD-HD 4K PLUS A or two HDMI for DSC HD‑HD 4K PLUS A xi, balanced/unbalanced stereo audio on 5‑pole captive screw
- Accepts HDMI video from 480i up to 4096x2160 @ 4:4:4
- Selectable output rates from 640x480 up to 4096x2160 @ 4:4:4
- Supports single path and dual path 4K signals – xi model only — Offers the convenience of managing 4K/60 video as a single or dual path signal, for flexibility when working with 4K sources, peripherals, and displays.
- Display two equal resolution input signals as a single side-by-side image – xi model only
- 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 critical-quality 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 after 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 can be positioned and keyed over live video. 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 loss of video between presentations.
- HDMI audio embedding — Audio from the two‑channel analog input can be embedded onto the HDMI output.

- Supports custom EDID and output resolutions — User-defined output resolutions up to 300 MHz pixel clock can be supported by uploading custom EDID files or capturing EDID from a display or other destination device. The DSC HD‑HD 4K PLUS xi model supports resolutions up to 600 MHz pixel clock when using a left/right column configuration.
- 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 simple, quick, and easy signal and HDCP verification through front panel LEDs, RS‑232, USB, or Ethernet, providing valuable feedback to a system operator or helpdesk support staff.
- HDCP Visual Confirmation — When HDCP‑encrypted content is transmitted to a non‑HDCP compliant display, a full‑screen green signal is sent to the display for immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on that 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.
- AFL™ - Accu-RATE Frame Lock — A patented technology exclusive to Extron that locks the output frame rate to the input to eliminate stuttering caused by frame rate conversion.

- On‑screen menus — Intuitive on‑screen menus allow for easy system setup using the front panel controls. Key parameters such as input and output video formats are conveniently grouped on the initial Quick Setup screen, while additional screens provide full control over the unit's other functions and settings.
- Output Standby Mode — 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.
- Power Save Mode — Can be placed in a low power standby state to conserve energy when not in use.
- Automatic 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection — Advanced film mode processing techniques that instantaneously detect and maximize image quality for NTSC, PAL, and 1080i sources that originated from film.
