Extron electronic ISS 506 manual

Audio outputs — The ISS outputs the selected unamplified, line level, balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono audio on 5-pole captive screw connectors.

Operational flexibility — Operations such as input selection, transitions, and picture adjustments, and volume control can be performed on the front panel or via the Ethernet or serial link. The serial links allow remote control via a PC or control system. The Ethernet link allows multiple remote links with two levels of password protection.

•Front Panel Controller — The front panel controller supports all ISS 506 functions. The input buttons can be labeled with text or graphics.

•Windows-based control program — For serial port or Ethernet remote control from a PC, the Extron Windows-based control software provides a graphical interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation.

•Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) — The remote control protocol uses Extron’s SIS for easy programming and operation.

•Remote control panels — The switcher is are remote controllable, using the optional RCP 2000 Remote Control panel.

3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC and 2:2 film detection for PAL video sources — These advanced film mode processing features help maximize image detail and sharpness for video sources that originated from film. When film is converted to NTSC video, the film frame rate has to be matched to the video frame rate in a process called 3:2 pulldown. Jaggies and other image artifacts can result if conventional de-interlacing techniques are used on film-source video. The ISS’s advanced film mode processing recognizes signals that originated from film. The ISS then applies video processing algorithms that optimize the conversion of video that was made with the 3:2 pulldown process. This results in richly detailed images with sharply defined lines.

A similar 2:2 pulldown process is used for PAL film-source video.

Audio follow and breakaway — Audio switching can follow its corresponding video input signal or it can be broken away from the video input. Audio breakaway switching can be done under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet remote control.

Audio gain/attenuation — Users can set the input level of audio gain or attenuation (-18 dB to +24 dB) via the RS-232/RS-422 or 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 — A transition technique that is applied during the switches. It lowers the audio level of the switched out source while simultaneously raising the audio level of the activated source.

Logos — The ISS can display one or two logos on the preview and program outputs. The ISS can store up to 16 MB of bimapped logos.

Image (logo) save and recall — The ISS can capture an input image and save it for use as a logo.

Picture-in-picture and title — The ISS can display the preview input on top of the program output as either a picture-in-picture (PIP) window or a title.

LAN port — Supports connection to an Ethernet LAN so that the switcher can be accessed and operated anywhere in the world from a computer running 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 signals.
