Power supply — Includes an internal, 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, autoswitchable power supply.

RS-232 control — Provides control for third-party remote control of features and functions that can be programmed by using Extron’s SIS™ (Simple Instruction Set™) or Extron’s control software for Windows. The RS-232 port also provides communication between the SGS 408 and an Extron ECP 1000 event control panel.

RCP port — Supports an Extron RCP 1000, which allows the switch operator to control the switcher from a remote location.

Transitions — Control 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 effect buttons allow the switcher operator to choose from among four predefined effects.

Accu-RATE Frame LockTM (AFLTM) — Eliminates the image tearing problem which is associated with scaling, especially when motion video is involved, and occurs when the input frame rate is slower or faster than the output frame rate and part of the old frame and part of the new frame are displayed at the same time during a refresh cycle. The Extron Accu-RATE Frame Lock sets and locks the output frame rate to the input frame rate of a designated input and produces a tear-free output in a seamless switching system.

Centering and sizing — Allow the output to be centered or sized, both horizontally and vertically.

Brightness and contrast controls — Adjust the brightness and contrast of an input.

Horizontal and vertical filtering — Provides up to eight levels of horizontal and eight levels of vertical filter control. These operator-selectable filtering controls ensure image sharpness and ensure that no picture detail is dropped.

Test patterns — Allow the switcher operator to determine whether the switcher is set up properly before an image is available. The test patterns also help with projector setup.
