IP information

To set up the ISS for operation via its Ethernet port, you need to know and be able to change the IP address. One way to do this is via the IP address and hardware address screen.

To access the IP address and hardware address screen, press and hold the Color/Tint and Detail buttons while you apply power to the ISS (figure 3-19). When the ISS is finished intializing, it displays both addresses.

Press and hold both buttons

simultaneously while applying power.

If you need to change the IP address, use the Adjust knob to select the desired subfield. Rotate the Adjust knob to change the value. Repeat the adjustment for other subfields as required.

Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields separated by dots (periods). Each field can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to three digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.

If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the factory- specified default, 192.168.254.254, is the correct value for this field.

The hardware address is hard-coded and cannot be changed.

Optimizing the Video

Perform the following steps, in sequence, after you have installed the ISS. This procedure will help you to configure the switcher for the best settings for your display environment. In a multi-screen environment, perform this procedure for each display.

See “Advanced Configuration menu”, earlier in this chapter, to select and output a test pattern and to select and output blue-only video.

See “Picture adjustments”, earlier in this chapter, to make adjustments to the picture quality.

See “User Presets menu”, earlier in this chapter, to save presets.

ISS 408 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.
