Introduction, cont’d

The ISS receives and outputs the stereo audio on 5-pole captive screw connectors. The audio can be switched with cross fading (that is, the previous audio channel fades out and then the new audio channel fades in).

For upscaling, the ISS 506 converts the horizontal and vertical sync timing and the number of lines of the lower-resolution video input to match the native resolution of the display. This produces an undistorted, brighter picture than an unscaled input would.

For downscaling, the ISS 506 accepts any computer resolution up to 1600 x 1200, with horizontal scan rates up to 100 kHz and vertical scan rates up to 120 Hz. The ISS converts the input to match the native resolution of the display.

The switcher is ideal for displaying images on projectors with limited display resolutions, such as LCD projectors, DLP projectors, plasma projectors, and (with an optional DVI board) a DVI display or projector.

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

The switcher is housed in a rack-mountable, 2U high, 17.5" wide, metal enclosure. The ISS has an internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 45 watts internal power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.

Features

Inputs —

Video inputs — The ISS switches among six configurable RGB, HDTV component video, component video, S-video, and composite video inputs.

Optional video input board — With an optional SDI/HD-SDI input board, an HD-SDI or SDI video signal can be applied to input 6, in place of the S-video or composite video input.

Audio inputs — The ISS switches among six balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono audio inputs on 5-pole captive screw connectors.

Outputs —

Standard video outputs — The ISS outputs individually scaled video signals as RGBHV, RGBS, or component video. One set of BNC connectors and one

15-pin HD connector are provided for the program output. One 15-pin HD connector is provided for the preview output.

Optional video output daughterboards — With an optional DVI, HD-SDI, or scan converter output board, an additional program video output is available, based on the board installed:

•DVI board — The ISS outputs a single loop of DVI-D on a DVI connector. The DVI output resolution follows the program output.

•HD-SDI board — The ISS outputs an HD-SDI video signal, 1080i or 720p, on a BNC connector.

NYou must set the output rate to 720p (at 25, 30, 50, 59.94, or 60 Hz), 1080i (at 50, 59.94 or 60 Hz), or 1080p (at 24, 25, or 30 Hz) to activate the HD-SDI output.

•Scan converter board — The ISS outputs a scan-converted video signal (low resolution RGsB, component video, S-video, or composite video) on three BNC connectors.

NThe scan converter output board can output S-video and composite video simultaneously.
