    The switcher inputs all valid video signal formats on eight sets of five BNC connectors. The ISM 482 scales the input up or down to a wide variety of output resolutions and rates. The switcher outputs the scaled video, as RGBHV or RGBS, on two sets of output connectors, consisting of five BNCs and a 15-pin HD connector.
  • Page 12 The ISM receives and outputs the stereo audio on 5-pole captive screw connectors. For upscaling, the ISM 482 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.

    Introduction, cont’d Features Inputs — Video inputs — The ISM switches among eight fully-configurable RGB, HDTV component video, component video, S-video, and composite video inputs on five BNC connectors per input. Audio inputs — The ISM switches among eight balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono audio inputs on 5-pole captive screw connectors.
  • Page 14 Memory presets — The ISM 482 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.
