About the GSS 100 Graphic Still Store

The Extron GSS 100 (see figure 1) 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 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.
