Introduction

About the GSS 100 Graphic Still Store

The Extron GSS 100 is a portable graphic still store with 16 MB of memory, into which you can load up to 6 XGA (1024 x 768) bitmap images (*.bmp) or 32 or more (depending on the compression rate) XGA jpeg (*.jpg) still images. The GSS can then output them in an RGB video format. The GSS provides a pass-through RGB video input, in addition to the stored images, and allows you to switch the output between the input and one of the stored images. This allows you to display a still image of your own choosing, such as a logo, text, or a landscape, during meeting breaks or while you load or make last minute edits to a presentation on a laptop computer.

User-selected images, including the test patterns, can be uploaded to the GSS via its Ethernet port using the GSS’s built- in HTML pages. The pass-through RGB input and the output are via female BNC connectors.

The GSS provides 16 MBytes of RAM for storage, providing room for up to 17 uploaded bitmap images. The number of images that the GSS can accommodate depends on the resolution of the images. The table on the next page shows the number of *.bmp images that the GSS can accommodate, based on several common resolutions.

NBecause of the variable compression schemes for *.jpg images, there is no reliable method to calculate the number of *.jpg images that the GSS can hold.

Progressive *.jpg images are not supported.

Bitmap (*.bmp) images must be formatted as 24-bit

RGB.
