The Extron GSS 100 is a portable graphic still store with 16 MB of memory that can hold up to 6 XGA (1024 x 768) bitmap images (BMP) or 32 or more XGA JPEG images.

The GSS outputs stored images 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 RGB pass-through input and one of the stored images.

Connections

a AC power connector — Plug a standard IEC power cord

into this connector to connect the GSS to a 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz power source.

b RGB Pass-thru connectors — Connect a high resolution

video input or computer input to these female, BNC

connectors.

c Output connectors — Connect an RGB video display or

other device to these female BNC connectors.

NOTE: The still image output format (RGBHV or RGBS) must be conﬁgured using the front panel controls or a Simple

Instruction Set (SIS™) command. The output format applies only to the output of still images stored in the GSS; the RGB Pass-through video is output exactly as it is input.

d LAN port — Connect the GSS to a PC or to an Ethernet LAN, via this RJ-45 connector. You can use the HTML pages embedded in

the GSS to upload still images from the PC to the GSS and to control the GSS. You can also use a PC to control the GSS with SIS commands. The default address is 192.168.254.254.

e RS-232 port — Connect a computer or control system to this 9-pin D connector to allow remote

control using the SIS commands.

f Reset button — See the GSS 100 User Guide for greater detail.

Graphic File Considerations

z The only valid file formats for stored images are *.bmp and *.jpg.

z Valid file names are up to 240 alphanumeric characters with no spaces.

z Progressive *.jpg images are not supported.

z Bitmap (*.bmp) images must be formatted as 24-bit RGB.

z The GSS 100 does not scale images. An 800 x 600 BMP file does not fill a 1024 x 768 output. Thus, images should be mastered at

the output resolution of the GSS.

z 1080i and 1080p files need to be mastered at a resolution of 1440 x 1080 instead of 1920 x 1080.

Conguring the Output

Menu button twice to display the Output Conﬁguration menu.

6. Press the Next button to select the Polarity submenu.

7. Rotate the Adjust/Select knob to select among the sync polarities.

8. Press the Next button to select the RGB Delay submenu.

9. Rotate the Adjust/Select knob to set how long the GSS mutes the RGB output

before displaying the RGB pass-through input.

show. If the pass-through input was displayed when this selection is made, the GSS displays the ﬁrst image alphabetically by

ﬁle name.

z On/still (auto-switch on and slide show off) — Activates the automatic sync detection and auto-switches to a stored image.

If sync is lost, the GSS switches to the last displayed image that was output and displays that image until sync is restored or you select another image to display.

z 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.
