About this Guide

This manual contains installation and operating information for the Extron GSS 100 Graphic

Still Store.

NOTE: Throughout this guide, the unit is identied as either "GSS 100," the “GSS,” or

the “graphic still store.”

About the GSS 100 Graphic Still Store

The Extron GSS 100 (see gure 1) is a portable graphic still store with 16 MB of memory, into which you can load up to 6 XGA (1024 x 768) bitmap images (BMP) or 32 or more (depending on the compression rate) XGA JPG still images. The GSS can then output them in an RGB video format. The GSS provides a pass-through RGB video input, in addition to

the stored images, and allows you to switch the output between the input and one of the stored images. This allows you to display a still image of your own choosing, such as a logo, text, or a landscape, during meeting breaks or while you load or make last minute edits to a presentation on a laptop computer.

GSS 100 Graphic Still Store • Introduction 1

User-selected images, including the test patterns, can be uploaded to the GSS via its Ethernet port using HTML pages built into the GSS. The pass-through RGB input and the output are via female BNC connectors.

The GSS provides 16 MB of RAM for storage, providing room for up to 17 uploaded bitmap images. The number of images that the GSS can accommodate depends on the resolution of the images. Table 2 shows the number of BMP images that the GSS can accommodate,

based on several common resolutions.

NOTE: Because of the variable compression schemes for JPG images, there is no reliable

method to calculate the number of JPG images that the GSS can hold.

• Progressive JPG images are not supported.

• Bitmap (BMP) images must be formatted as 24-bit RGB.

The graphic still store is housed in a rack-mountable, 1U high, half rack-width metal enclosure. The internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 15-watt, power supply provides

worldwide power compatibility.

GSS 100 communicates.

Cabling

It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cable type and that they be correctly terminated with the proper connector pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328 feet (100 m).

NOTES: • Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support

Ethernet or Fast Ethernet.

• Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.

The cable used depends on your network speed. The GSS 100 supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections.

 10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.  100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.

Front Panel Operations

Plug in all system components and turn on the input device (such as a desktop or laptop

computers) and the output monitor. Use the LAN port to upload one or more still images to the GSS. Select either the pass-through input or one of the stored still images to output (see

“Selecting an Image to Display”). The image should appear on the monitor connected to the output.

Power-on Indications

Power is applied when the power cord is connected between the GSS and an AC source. When AC power is applied, the GSS performs a self-test that shows the model name and

the ﬁrmware version in the LCD display. After approximately 15 seconds, the LCD diplays its default cycle, alternating among four displays that show the model name, the currently displayed image (the pass-through input or the ﬁle name of one of the previously loaded

images), the output resolution (of a stored image only; the pass-through input is output

exactly as it is input), and the IP address of the unit (see ﬁgure 7).

The current settings are saved in nonvolatile memory. When power is applied, the latest

conﬁguration is retrieved.

NOTE: On gure 7 and all other owcharts in this chapter, dashed lines indicate screen

changes that are the result of a timeout function.

Auto Switch (and slide show) submenu

The GSS can be set to an auto-switch mode that monitors the sync signal on the RGB pass-

through input and automatically switches to the last-displayed stored image or slide show for output when sync is lost. This submenu also allows you to turn the auto-switching and slide show on and off.

Rotate the Adjust/Select mode while in the Auto-Switch submenu to select:

 Off (auto-switch mode off and slide show off) — Deactivates the automatic sync

detection and the slide show.

 Off/show (auto-switch off and slide show on) — Leaves the automatic sync

detection off and manually initiates the slide show. If the pass-through input was being

displayed when this selection is made, the GSS displays the rst image alphabetically by

ﬁle name.

 On/still (auto-switch on and slide show off) — Activates the automatic sync

detection and auto-switches to the still image. If sync is lost, the GSS switches to the last

displayed image that was output and outputs that image until sync is restored or you select another image to display.

 On/show (auto-Switch on and slide show on) — Activates the automatic sync

detection and auto-switches to the slide show. If sync is lost, the GSS switches to the

last-displayed image and begins to cycle through the available images.

The default setting is Off.

GSS-initiated (Unsolicited) Messages

When a local event, such as an equipment power-up, occurs, the GSS responds by sending a message to the host. The GSS-initiated messages are listed in the following pages. The

messages are underlined.

The GSS does not expect a response from the host, but the host program may request a new

status.

Power-up

The GSS 100 issues the Copyright message (above) when it rst powers on. Vx.xx is the ﬁrmware version number.

Image selection

Bsy0

The GSS issues the above sequence of commands when a front panel image selection

operation or a slide show image change occurs.

 The Take message indicates the change of output image.  The Bsy1 message indicates to the connected control device that the GSS is busy

processing the cut or dissolve transition and is unable to respond to input commands.

 The Bsy0 message indicates that the GSS is no longer busy and can respond to input

commands.

Host-to-GSS Instructions

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per ﬁeld. No special characters are required

to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the unit

executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the unit to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

GSS 100 Graphic Still Store • Programming Guide 20

Error Responses

ASCII to Hex Conversion Table

•

Space

When the GSS 100 receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a

response to the host device. If the unit is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the unit returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E10 — Invalid command E13 — Invalid value (out of range) E14 — Illegal command for this conguration E17 — Timeout (caused only by direct write of global presets) E22 — Busy E24 — Privilege violation (Ethernet, Extron software only) E25 — Device not present E26 — Maximum number of connections exceeded E27 — Invalid event number E28 — Bad lename or le not found

Timeout

Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ascii characters result in a timeout. The command operation is aborted with no other indication.

Using the Command and Response Tables

The command and response table begins on the next page. Either uppercase or lowercase letters are acceptable in the command ﬁeld except where indicated for the audio level (gain and attenuation) commands. Symbols are used throughout the table to represent variables in the command/response ﬁelds. Command and response examples are shown throughout the

table. The ASCII to Hex conversion table below is for use with the command and response

The GSS can be congured through its Ethernet port, connected via a LAN or WAN and using a web browser such as the Microsoft® Internet Explorer®. The display of the conguration of the GSS has the appearance of web pages. This chapter describes the factory-installed HTML pages, which are always available and cannot be erased or

overwritten.

NOTE: If your Ethernet connection to the GSS 100 is unstable, try turning off

the proxy server in your web browser. In Internet Explorer, click Tools >

Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings, uncheck the Use a proxy server... box, and then click OK.

GSS 100 Graphic Still Store • HTML Control and IPL File Manager 2828

Conﬁguring the Hardware

To function properly, the controlling PC and the GSS must be congured correctly: the PC

must be network capable, with the proper protocols installed, and the hardware conﬁgured

correctly. The GSS must also be set to recognize and accept commands.

PC Conﬁguration

This manual assumes that you have a Windows PC equipped with an operating network adapter. To allow your PC to work with Ethernet-controlled products from Extron, the TCP/IP

protocol must be installed and properly conﬁgured.

For use on an existing Ethernet LAN intranet, your network administrator can provide you with a unique IP address or conrm whether you need to set up the GSS for Dynamic Host Conguration protocol (DHCP) to have an address assigned automatically when you sign on.

Initial Startup

When you power on the GSS for the rst time, there are two ways to set up the IP address:

 Use the ARP command method.  Use the direct PC method.

The default web pages that are pre-loaded in the GSS provide a way to recongure the GSS

after it has an active network connection with IP access. These web pages are compatible

with Netscape Navigator (version 6.0 or higher) or Internet Explorer (version 5.5 or higher). Once the GSS has been congured, an Ethernet (intranet or Internet) connection can

subsequently be used to contact or control it.

GSS Conﬁguration

Conﬁguring the GSS using the ARP command

You can use the Address Resolution Protocol (“ARP”) command to set up an IP address for

your GSS. The ARP command associates the MAC address of the GSS with the assigned IP address in your computer. You must then use the “ping” command to access the GSS, at

which point the IP address of the device server is reconﬁgured.

NOTE: Use this setup method in either of two congurations:

 Both your PC and the GSS connected to the same LAN using patch (straight)

cables

 Direct connect between the two devices using a crossover Ethernet cable.

See “Cabling” and “RJ-45 connector wiring” in the Installation section.

Use the ARP command to congure the IP address as follows:

1. Obtain a valid IP address for the GSS from your network administrator.

2. Obtain the MAC address (UID #) of the GSS from the label on the rear panel.

3. If the GSS has never been conﬁgured, and is still set to its factory defaults, proceed

to step 4. If the GSS has previously been conﬁgured, perform an IP settings (mode 4) reset

(see “Reset Button” in the Installation section).

NOTE: Your GSS must be congured with the default IP address (192.168.254.254)

before executing the ARP command.

GSS 100 Graphic Still Store • HTML Control and IPL File Manager 29

4. Click Start > Run... to activate the Run window. Type Cmd in the Run window and

C:\> arp -s 10.13.170.15 00-05-A6-00-0A-90 <Enter>

click OK to access the MS-DOS command prompt.

5. Enter the ARP -s command with the desired new IP address (obtained from the system

administrator) and the MAC address of the GSS (from the label on the rear panel of the GSS), as follows:

Command Desired

Prompt

IP address

MAC address Enter

key

6. Execute a ping command using the new IP address of the GSS as follows:

C:\> ping 10.13.170.15 <Enter>

After you send this command, the GSS changes to to the new address and starts responding to the ping requests (see gure 17). The IP address of the GSS is updated to

the new address and you can reconnect using either Telnet or the web to verify that the update was successful.

C:\>ping 10.13.170.15 Pinging 10.13.170.15 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 10.13.170.15: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=128

Ping statistics for 10.13.170.15: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

Figure 17. GSS Response to Ping Request

7. After the GSS responds to the ping command, issue the arp -d command at the

command prompt to remove the IP address that you speciﬁed in step 5 from the ARP:

C:\> arp -d <IP address> <Enter> (to remove the stated IP address)

C:\> arp -d* <Enter> (to remove all static IP addresses)

GSS 100 Graphic Still Store • HTML Control and IPL File Manager 30

Conﬁguring the GSS using a direct PC connection

This type of connection is used to initially connect to and congure the GSS. The default settings of the GSS (IP address, subnet mask, and optional administrator name and password) must be changed in order to use the GSS on an intranet (LAN) or the Internet (WAN).

1. Plug one end of a CAT 5 Ethernet crossover cable into the rear panel LAN port on the

GSS. See “Cabling” and “RJ-45 connector wiring” in the Installation section to make a cable.

2. Plug the other end of the CAT 5 cable into the Ethernet port on your PC.

3. Right-click the Network Neighborhood or My Network icon on your Windows (98,

2000, NT, ME, or XP) desktop and select Properties from the menu.

4. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list and click Properties.

(If you are using Windows 2000, right-click Local Area Connection and select

Properties from the menu, select Internet Protocol [TCP/IP] from the list,

and then click Properties again.)

NOTE: If Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is not available or is not on the list, you need to

install it. Refer to your Windows user manual or the online Help system for

your computer for information on installing the TCP/IP protocol.

5. Note the current IP address and subnet mask of the GSS in the space below: If your PC is

set to “Obtain an IP address automatically,” note that instead.

IP address:_____________________________________ Subnet mask:___________________________________

6. Depending on your operating system, click either Specify an IP address or Use

the following IP address

 Is there a le in the memory of the GSS 100 that is named “index.html?”

If so, the GSS 100 downloads “index.html” as the default startup page.

 If neither of the above conditions is true, the GSS 100 downloads the factory-

installed default startup page, “nortxe_index.html” (see gure 19), also known as

the System Status page.

DHCP radio buttons

The DHCP On radio button directs the GSS 100 to ignore any entered IP addresses and to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) server (if the network is DHCP capable). The DHCP Off radio button turns DHCP off. Contact the local system administrator to determine if DHCP is appropriate.

NOTE: The IP Address, Gateway IP Address, and Subnet Mask ﬁelds become

uneditable if DHCP is on.

IP Address ﬁeld

The IP Address eld contains the IP address of the connected GSS 100. This value is encoded in the ash memory of the GSS 100.

Standard IP protocol consists of addresses comprised of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric

subelds, properly called “octets,” separated by dots (periods). Each eld can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes, up to three digits total per eld, are optional. Values

of 256 and above are invalid.

The factory-installed default address is 192.168.254.254, but if this conicts with other

equipment at your installation, you can change the IP address to any valid value.

NOTE: IP address changes can cause conicts with other equipment. Only local system

administrators should change IP addresses.

Gateway IP Address ﬁeld

The Gateway IP Address ﬁeld identiﬁes the address of the gateway to the mail server to

be used if the GSS 100 and the mail server are not on the same subnet. Standard IP protocol

rules apply to the gateway IP address.

For tabletop or desktop placement only, install the self-adhesive rubber feet (provided) onto the four corners of the bottom of the enclosure.

UL Requirements

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the GSS 100 into a wall or furniture.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit is installed in a closed or

multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the 113 °F (45 °C) maximum ambient temperature (Tma)

specied by Extron.

2. Reduced air ﬂow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the

amount of air ow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a

hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the

equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment

should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (that is, the use of power strips).

Installation instructions

Secure the unit to an optional 1U (one unit high, one unit wide) rack shelf (part number

60-190-01 or 60-604-02) and install the shelf in a rack in accordance with the directions that accompany the shelf.
