Try the following command:
  • convert 'CMU-1.svs[3]' CMU-1.png
It works without complaint.

SVS is really just a pyramidal (multipage) TIFF file. You can see the pages and their dimensions using the identify command. ImageMagick can read most of them, but we've found the newer ones use JPEG2000 compression and cannot be read with libtiff.

If you want to work with the largest image in an SVS file of that size (60000x30000), vips might would work better since it doesn't read the whole thing into memory.

VIPS is one of many open-source image processing solutions. Its an alternative to ImageMagick like NetPBM, Gimp, etc.
