Power Save Mode; Matrix Mode - Extron electronics ISS 608 User Manual

Power Save Mode

The ISS can be forced into a low power, standby mode using an SIS command. In this
mode, all non-essential hardware is shut down to conserve power. To restore the ISS back
to full power mode:
•
•
•
While in power save mode, the front panel LCD backlight is disabled, but the LCD displays
POWER SAVE ENABLED.

Matrix Mode

The ISS can be set to Matrix Mode, which allows an upstream Extron matrix switcher to
be used as a seamless switcher. When a matrix switcher is connected upstream of the
ISS 608, all of the matrix inputs essentially become inputs to the ISS 608 and transition
effects can be automatically applied to the source switches.
Matrix Mode only works with HDMI inputs 1 and 2 and requires the matrix switcher to toggle
source routes between these two connections.
To use Matrix Mode:
•
•
•
•
NOTE: When in this mode, the front panel will be completely locked.
Consider an example system where a matrix switcher has outputs 11 and 12 connected to
ISS 608 inputs 1 and 2, respectively.

Execute an SIS command (via IP, RS-232, or USB) (see
place instantly) on page 48).
Press any front panel button.
Power cycle the device.
Initially, Program is set to input 1 and Preview is set to input 2. Preview switch setting
is set to SWAP, and switch effect is set to CUT. The switch effect can be changed to
DISSOLVE or WIPE if desired using SIS or PCS.
Use the matrix switcher to route the new source to the matrix output connected to the
ISS input currently selected on the Preview bus (initially input 2).
The ISS 608 automatically performs a seamless switch with the selected effect (CUT,
WIPE, or DISSOLVE) when new video is acquired and stable on the Preview channel
input.
The next source to be displayed must now be routed to the opposite ISS input
previously routed to, because the Program and Preview channels have been swapped.
When Matrix Mode is initially enabled, the source tied to matrix output 11 is currently live
on the Program output and the source tied to output 12 is on the Preview output.
The first switch on the matrix should be to output 12, at which point the ISS seamlessly
switches to that source.
The next switch on the matrix should be to output 11, which triggers the ISS to
seamlessly switch back.
The following switch would be to output 12 on the matrix, and the toggling between
output 11 and 12 on the matrix would continue as needed.
