ISS 408 Integrated Seamless Switcher • Introduction 4
• Audio cross-fading — This transition technique is applied during switching to lower
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 anywhere in the world with a computer using a standard
Internet browser.
• 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 — Controls 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 setup and evaluation.
• Blue mode — The switcher can be set to output the blue video signal and sync
signal(s) 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, Simple Instruction Set (SIS
™ ), and Windows program
control.
• Auto memories — The 8 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 manually initiated on the current input, or
can be enabled to globally size and center each new input signal automatically.
• 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 inch
wide rack.
