Introduction, cont’d

Transitions — Control the type of switch that occurs between the preview and program outputs. The Cut button creates an instant switch between the preview and program outputs. The Wipe and Dissolve buttons switch with a masking 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 only, to help installers calibrate the monitor or projector.

Triple-Action Switching™ (RGB delay) — RGB delay mutes the R, G, and B video planes to blank the screen while the scaler locks to the new sync, so that

a noise-filled scramble is not shown on the monitor during the transition. The time delay between the RGB and sync signals is user adjustable up to 5 seconds under front panel, SIS, and program control.

Auto memories — The six inputs support 16 auto-recall memories each, based on the incoming frequency. Information on sizing, centering, detail, contrast, and brightness is saved. Auto memories can be turned off under advanced configuration.

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

Input presets — The ISS 506 has memory for up to 128 presets that allow the user to use SIS commands to save and recall color, tint, contrast, brightness, centering, sizing, and filtering information.

User presets — Three presets for each input save different settings for color, tint,

contrast, brightness, detail, size, centering, and input configurations.

Freeze mode — Locks the output display to the selected image. Once the display is frozen, you can remove an input without losing the output image. This feature lets the ISS function as a still store.

Rack mountable — The 2U high switcher can be mounted in any conventional 19" wide rack.
