Audio gain/attenuation — Users can set the input level of audio gain or attenuation (-24 dB to +9 dB) via the RS-232 port, Ethernet link, or from the front panel. Individual input audio levels can be adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources.

Audio cross-fading — This transition technique is applied during switching to lower the audio level of the switched out source while simultaneously raising the audio level of the activated source.

Ethernet port — Supports connection to an Ethernet LAN so that the switcher can be accessed and operated from anywhere in the world with a computer using a standard Internet browser.

Quad-standard video decoder — The switcher uses a digital, four-line adaptive comb filter that can decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM.

Transitions — Controls the type of switch that will occur between the preview and program outputs. The Cut button creates an instant switch between the preview and program outputs. The Dissolve button switches with a dissolve effect.

Test patterns — The switcher features built-in test patterns to aid in monitor or projector setup and evaluation.

Blue mode — The switcher can be set to output the blue video signal and sync signal(s) only, to help installers calibrate the monitor or projector.

Triple-Action Switching™ (RGB delay) (preview output) — RGB delay mutes the R, G, and B video planes to blank the preview screen while the scaler locks to the new sync, so that a noise-filled scramble is not shown on the preview monitor during the transition. The time delay between the RGB and sync signals is user adjustable up to five seconds under front panel, Simple Instruction Set (SIS™), and Windows program control.

Auto memories — The 8 inputs support 16 auto-recall memories each, based on the incoming frequency. Information on sizing, centering, detail, contrast, and brightness is saved.

Auto Image™ — The auto imaging feature automatically sizes and centers the selected input to fill the screen. Auto imaging can be selected for individual inputs as desired or it can be set to automatically size and center each new input selection.

Memory presets — The ISS 408 has memory for up to 128 presets that allow the

user to use RS-232 commands to save and recall color, tint, contrast, brightness, centering, sizing, and filtering information.

Aspect ratio memories — Three memories for each input save different settings for color, tint, contrast, brightness, detail, size, and centering.

Freeze mode (under SIS and Windows program control only) — Locks the output display to the selected image. Once frozen, an input can be removed without losing the output image. This feature lets the ISS function as a still store.

Rack mountable — The 3U high switcher can be mounted in any conventional 19" wide rack.
