1-5 Integration Seamless Switcher • Introduction
Audio cross-fading — A transition technique that is applied during the switches
that lowers the audio level of the switched out source while simultaneously
raising the audio level of the activated source.
Ethernet port — Supports connection to an Ethernet LAN so that the switcher can
be accessed and operated from a computer running a standard Internet
browser anywhere in the world.
Quad-standard video decoder — The switcher uses a digital, four-line adaptive
comb filter that can decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM.
Transitions — Control the type of switch that will occur between the preview and
program outputs. The Cut button creates an instant switch between the
preview and program outputs. The Dissolve button switches with a dissolve
effect.
Test patterns — The switcher features built-in test patterns to aid in monitor or
projector set-up and evaluation.
Blue mode — The switcher can be set to output the blue video signal only, to help
installers calibrate the monitor or projector.
Triple-Action Switching ™ (RGB delay) (preview output) — RGB delay mutes the
R, G, and B video planes to blank the preview screen while the scaler locks to
the new sync, so that a noise-filled scramble is not shown on the preview
monitor during the transition. The time delay between the RGB and sync
signals is user adjustable up to five seconds under front panel, SIS, and
program control.
Auto memories — The eight inputs support 16 auto-recall memories each, based on
the incoming frequency. Information on sizing, centering, detail, contrast,
and brightness is saved.
Auto Image ™ — The auto imaging feature automatically sizes and centers the
selected input to fill the screen. Auto imaging can be selected for individual
inputs as desired or set to automatically size and center each new input
selection.
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.
Aspect ratio memories — Three memories for each input save different settings for
color, tint, contrast, brightness, detail, size, and centering.
Freeze mode (under SIS and Windows program control only) — Locks the output
display to the selected image. Once frozen, an input can be removed without
losing the output image. This feature lets the ISS function as a still store.
Rack mountable — The 3U high switcher can be mounted in any conventional 19"
wide rack.
