Figure 1-1 — Typical ISS 408 Integration Seamless Switcher application

The ISS receives and outputs the stereo audio on 5-pole captive screw connectors.

The audio can be switched with cross fading (that is, the previous audio channel

fades out and then the new audio channel fades in).

For upscaling, the ISS 408 converts the horizontal and vertical sync timing and the

number of lines of the lower-resolution video input to match the native resolution

of the display. This produces an undistorted, brighter picture than an unscaled

input would.

For downscaling, the ISS 408 accepts any computer resolution, up to 1600 x 1200,

with horizontal scan rates up to 100 kHz and vertical scan rates up to 120 Hz, and

converts the input to match the native resolution of the display.

The switcher is ideal for displaying images on projectors with limited display

resolutions, such as LCD projectors, DLP projectors, plasma projectors, and (with

an optional DVI card) a DVI display or projector.

The switcher features built-in test patterns to aid in monitor or projector set-up and

evaluation.

The switcher is housed in a rack-mountable, 3U high, 17.5" wide, metal enclosure.

The ISS has an internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 30 watts autoswitchable

power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.
