Audio cross-fading — A transition technique that is applied during the switches that lowers the audio level of the switched out source while simultaneously raising the audio level of the activated source.

Ethernet port — Supports connection to an Ethernet LAN so that the switcher can be accessed and operated from a computer running a standard Internet browser anywhere in the world.

Quad-standard video decoder — The switcher uses a digital, four-line adaptive comb filter that can decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM.

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 Dissolve button switches with a dissolve effect.

Test patterns — The switcher features built-in test patterns to aid in monitor or projector set-up 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) (preview output) — RGB delay mutes the R, G, and B video planes to blank the preview screen while the scaler locks to the new sync, so that a noise-filled scramble is not shown on the preview monitor during the transition. The time delay between the RGB and sync signals is user adjustable up to five seconds under front panel, SIS, and program control.

Auto memories — The eight inputs support 16 auto-recall memories each, based on the incoming frequency. Information on sizing, centering, detail, contrast, and brightness is saved.

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

Memory presets — The ISS 408 has memory for up to 128 presets that allow the

user to use RS-232 commands to save and recall color, tint, contrast, brightness, centering, sizing, and filtering information.

Aspect ratio memories — Three memories for each input save different settings for color, tint, contrast, brightness, detail, size, and centering.

Freeze mode (under SIS and Windows program control only) — Locks the output display to the selected image. Once frozen, an input can be removed without losing the output image. This feature lets the ISS function as a still store.

Rack mountable — The 3U high switcher can be mounted in any conventional 19" wide rack.

ISS 408, ISS 108 specifications

Extron Electronics is renowned for its contributions to the audiovisual industry, providing high-performance devices that meet the demands of professional environments. Two prominent products in their lineup are the ISS 108 and ISS 408 image scaling switchers, which are designed to enhance the management and quality of video signals in various applications.

The Extron ISS 108 is an 8x1 image scaling switcher that allows users to seamlessly switch between multiple video sources while ensuring high image quality. One of its main features is the ability to support a variety of video formats, including resolutions up to 4K. This versatility is crucial for applications in education, corporate settings, and events where different video sources may be required.

In terms of technology, the ISS 108 is equipped with advanced image scaling capabilities that improve the visual quality of the content being displayed. The device utilizes Extron's patented Vector 4K scaling technology, which enhances the clarity and detail of the images while maintaining the integrity of the source material. This technology is invaluable in environments where every detail matters, and it ensures that presentations are delivered at their best quality.

The ISS 408, on the other hand, takes the capabilities of the ISS 108 and elevates them further by offering 4x1 switching capabilities. This enables users to connect up to four video sources, giving them more flexibility in content management. The ISS 408 also supports 4K video resolutions, further solidifying Extron's commitment to delivering high-quality solutions.

Both models are designed with user-friendly interfaces, allowing for easy operation and integration into existing AV systems. They offer extensive control options, including RS-232 and Ethernet, enabling users to incorporate them into automation systems and control environments efficiently.

Another important characteristic of the ISS series is their built-in security features, such as password protection and lockout modes, which are essential for maintaining the integrity of sensitive content being delivered in corporate or educational settings.

In summary, the Extron ISS 108 and ISS 408 provide powerful solutions for image scaling and video switching. With advanced technologies like Vector 4K scaling, robust connectivity options, and intuitive control interfaces, these devices stand out as essential tools for any professional audiovisual application. Their focus on quality, flexibility, and security makes them ideal choices for enhancing video presentations in various environments.
