Quick Start — Integration Seamless Switcher

Installation

Step 1

Turn off power to the ISS 108 or ISS 408 and the input and output devices, and remove the power cords from them.

Step 2

If desired, install an optional DVI output card into the switcher. See chapter 7, Maintenance and Modifications.

Step 3

Step 5

Cable the switcher for stereo audio input. Each input has a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono audio input. Connectors are included with each switcher, but you must supply the audio cable. High impedance is generally over 800 ohms.
