Installing a DVI Output Card

4. Align the slots of each new firmware chip with the angled corners of the socket in the same orientation as the old chip. Gently, but firmly, press the chip into place in the socket.

5. Close the switcher. See “Opening and Closing the Switcher”, starting with step 9 on page 7-3.

You can install an optional digital visual interface (DVI) output card in the ISS. With the card installed, an additional program output is available as DVI video on a standard DVI connector. This program output is in addition to the standard RGB video on BNC connector and 15-pin HD connectors. Extron recommends that you send the unit to Extron for service and updates.

Install an optional DVI output card in the ISS as follows:

Changes to electronic components must be performed by authorized service personnel only.

To prevent electric shock, always unplug the ISS from the AC power source before opening the enclosure.

1. Open the switcher. See “Opening and Closing the Switcher” on page 7-2.

CAUTION

Do not touch any switches or other electronic components inside the ISS. Doing so could damage the ISS. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage IC chips even though you cannot feel it. You must be electrically grounded before proceeding with any electronic component replacement. A grounding wrist strap is recommended.

2. Locate the DVI output card connector opening on the rear panel and the DVI output card connector J14. When viewed from the front, connector J14 is in the far left corner of the main circuit board (figure 7-3).

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.
