About the Switcher

The Extron ISS 108 and ISS 408 are eight-input, scaling, video and stereo audio seamless switchers. Figure 1-1 shows a typical ISS 408 application. The switchers accept high resolution RGB video, YUV (component) video, S-video (Y/C), and composite video inputs; scale the inputs; and output RGBHV or RGBS video and stereo audio. The ISS seamlessly switches among the input sources without a loss of sync. The ISS can also mask the switch between sources with a dissolve effect for a professional look.

Each video input is individually configurable to allow for different video formats. The ISS allows analog RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and RGBcvS video, component video, S-video, and composite video signals to be displayed on a device with a fixed resolution and aspect ratio, such as an liquid crystal display (LCD) projector, digital light processor (DLP) projector, plasma display, or digital visual interface (DVI) device.

The ISS provides two separate outputs: the program output and the preview output. The program output is the picture the audience sees. The preview output allows the switcher operator to view the image before it is sent to the program output. With an optional DVI output card, the ISS converts the scaled image to DVI as an additional program output.

The switcher inputs all valid video signal formats on eight sets of five BNC connectors. The ISS 408 scales the input up or down to any of 40 output resolutions and rates. The ISS 108 scales the inputs to any of 20 resolutions and rates. Either switcher outputs the scaled video, as RGBHV or RGBS, on two sets (program and preview) of connectors. The program and preview outputs each consist of five BNC connectors and a 15-pin HD connector. The BNC connectors and 15-pin HD connector share identical outputs. Several of the output resolutions and rates include Extron’s Accu-RATE Frame Lock™ (AFL™), a proprietary technology that locks the output frame rate to the input rate, solving the image tearing problem that can result from different input and output rates. The ISS 408 features HDTV 576p, 720p, 1080p, and 1080i outputs.
