  • Page 10: About This Manual

    This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the Extron ISS 108 and ISS 408 Integration Seamless Switchers. The ISS 108 and ISS 408 are similar in function and operation; the differences exist in scaling capabilities. In this manual, the terms “switcher” and “ISS” are used interchangeably to refer to either model, except where differences exist, in which case the specific model is noted.
  • Page 11 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.

  • Page 12: Features

    Inputs — Video inputs — The ISS switches among eight fully-configurable RGB, HDTV component video (ISS 408), component video, S-video, and composite video inputs on five BNC connectors per input. Audio inputs — The ISS switches among eight balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono audio inputs on 5-pole captive screw connectors.
  • Page 13 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.
