Details

Extron DSC 401 (part number 60-1878-01) is a quarter-rack HDMI scaling converter built for clean 4K/60 signal matching.

This is the base model in the DSC 401 line: it accepts an HDMI/DVI source anywhere from 480i up to native 4096x2160 and rescales it to a chosen HDMI output resolution, so a source and a display that do not natively agree can still run together without a separate scaler box. The processing path supports full 4:4:4 chroma at 60 Hz and 10-bit color at 30 Hz, and HDCP 1.4 and 2.3 pass through so protected content still displays correctly.

Key Capabilities

Scales HDMI/DVI signals up to DCI 4K (4096x2160) at 60 Hz, full 4:4:4 chroma
18 Gbps maximum video data rate with HDCP 1.4 and 2.3 support
8 or 10-bit color processing at up to 600 MHz pixel clock
HDMI pass-through for Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-X audio formats
USB-C control port with Extron SIS, PCS, and Toolbelt software support

Where It Is Used

Conference rooms and auditoriums use the DSC 401 to reconcile a 4K source with a display or processor that needs a different resolution, keeping a single-link HDMI signal chain intact without swapping cabling.
