Introduction
About this Manual
This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the
Extron ISM 182 and ISM 482 Integration Scaling Matrix switchers.
The ISM 182 and ISM 482 are similar in function and operation; the differences
exist in scaling capabilities. In this manual, the terms “switcher” and “ISM” are
used interchangeably to refer to either model, except where differences exist, in
which case the specific model is noted.
• Chapter 1 identifies the switcher’s features.
• Chapter 2 details how to install the switcher.
• Chapter 3 describes how to operate the switcher and use all of its features.
• Chapter 4 provides information about programming and operating the
switcher under RS-232 control, such as from a PC or host controller.
• Chapter 5 details the Extron control software for Windows, which allows you
to operate the switcher from a PC in a graphical environment.
• Chapter 6 details operation of the switcher using an Ethernet browser.
• Appendix A is a high-level Internet protocol (IP) primer (Ethernet and
Telnet).
• Appendix B lists the switcher’s specifications and pertinent part numbers
and provides procedures for replacing the switcher’s firmware.
About the Switcher
The Extron ISM 182 and ISM 482 are eight-input, two-independently-scaled-output,
video and stereo audio matrix switchers. Figure 1-1 shows a typical ISM 482
application. The switchers accept high resolution RGB video, YUV (component)
video, S-video (Y/C), and composite video inputs; scale the inputs; and output
RGBHV or RGBS video and stereo audio. Triple-Action Switching™ (RGB delay)
blanks the screen during the switch to prevent distracting video glitches. The
switchers’ two independent scalers permit differing video formats on each input to
be displayed in different resolutions on different projectors.
Each video input is individually configurable to allow for different video formats.
The ISM allows analog RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and RGBcvS video, component
video, S-video, and composite video signals to be displayed on a device with a
fixed resolution and aspect ratio, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) projector,
digital light processor (DLP) projector, or plasma display.
The ISM provides two separate outputs. The selected input can be switched to
either or both outputs.
The switchers input all valid video signal formats on eight sets of five BNC
connectors. The ISM 482 scales the input up or down to any of 40 output
resolutions and rates. The ISM 182 scales the inputs to any of 20 resolutions and
rates. Either 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. The BNCs
and 15-pin HD connector share identical outputs. Several of the output resolutions
and rates include Extron’s Accu-RATE Frame Lock™ (AFL™), a proprietary
technology that locks the output frame rate to the input rate, solving the image
tearing problem that can result from different input and output rates. The ISM 482
features HDTV 576p, 720p, 1080p, and 1080i outputs.

Figure 1-1— Typical ISM 482 Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher
application
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. This produces an undistorted, brighter picture than an unscaled
input would.
For downscaling, the ISM 482 accepts any computer resolution, up to 1600 x 1200,
with horizontal scan rates up to 100 kHz and vertical scan rates up to 120 Hz, and
converts the input to match the native resolution of the display.
The switchers are ideal for displaying images on projectors with limited display
resolutions, such as LCD projectors, DLP projectors, and plasma projectors.
The switchers feature built-in test patterns to aid in monitor or projector set-up and
evaluation.
The switchers are housed in a rack-mountable, 3U high, 17.5” wide, metal
enclosure. The ISM has an internal 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60 Hz, 30 watts
autoswitchable power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.
1-3Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher • Introduction
Introduction, cont’d
Features
Inputs —
Video inputs — The ISM switches among eight fully-configurable RGB, HDTV
component video (ISM 482), 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.
Outputs —
Video outputs — The ISM outputs individually scaled video signals as RGBHV
or RGBS. Two sets of BNC connectors and two 15-pin HD connectors are
provided. One set of BNC connectors and one 15-pin HD connector display
the output 1 image, and the other set of BNC connectors and 15-pin HD
connector display the output 2 image.
Audio outputs — The ISM outputs the selected unamplified, line level, balanced
or unbalanced stereo or mono audio on 5-pole captive screw connectors.
Accu-RATE Frame Lock™ (AFL™) — A patented technology exclusive to Extron
that solves frame rate conversion issues experienced by video scalers. When
video input and output refresh rates differ, occasionally the two rates cross
over each other. The result is a glitch or image freeze on the display. AFL
solves this problem by locking the output frame rate to the input frame rate.
Dynamic Motion Interpolation™ (DMI™) — This video processing technique is
an advanced motion prediction and compensation method that treats motion
content and still content with different algorithms to yield high fidelity images.
3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC video sources and 2:2 film detection for PAL —
These advanced, patent pending, film mode processing feature helps
maximize image detail and sharpness for video sources that originated from
film. When film is converted to NTSC video, the film frame rate has to be
matched to the video frame rate in a process called 3:2 pulldown. Jaggies and
other image artifacts can result if conventional deinterlacing techniques are
used on film-source video. The ISM’s advanced film mode processing
recognizes signals that originated from film. The ISM then applies video
processing algorithms that optimize the conversion of video that was made
with the 3:2 pulldown process. This results in richly detailed images with
sharply defined lines.
A similar process is used for PAL film-source video.
Audio follow and breakaway — Audio switching can follow its corresponding
video input signal or it can be broken away from the video input. Audio
breakaway switching can be done via front panel control or under RS-232 or
Ethernet remote control.
Audio gain/attenuation — Users can set the input level of audio gain or
attenuation (-24dB to +9dB) via the RS-232 or Ethernet link or from the front
panel. Individual input audio levels can be adjusted so there is no noticeable
volume difference between sources.
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.
Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher • Introduction1-4
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) — RGB delay mutes the R, G, and B video
planes to blank the screen while the scaler locks to the new sync, so that a
noise-filled scramble is not shown on the 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 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, and sizing, and filtering information.
Aspect ratio memories — Three memories for each input save different color, tint,
contrast, brightness, detail, size, and centering settings.
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 ISM store a still image.
Rack mounting — The 3U high switcher can be mounted in any conventional 19”
wide rack.

Ethernet connection
Ethernet port — If desired connect the switcher to an Ethernet LAN or WAN
6
via this RJ-45 connector. Ethernet control allows the operator to control the
switcher from a remote location. When connected to an Ethernet LAN or
WAN , the switcher can be accessed and operated from a computer running a
standard Internet browser.
Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and Act LEDs indicate the status

LINK
ACT
Cabling and RJ-45 connector wiring
It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cables, and that they be properly
terminated with the correct pinout.
Choosing a network cable
Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 4, 5, 5e, or 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet
cables are limited to 328’ (100 m).
The Link LED indicates that the switcher is properly connected to an
Ethernet LAN. This LED should light steadily.
The Act LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45
connector. This LED should flicker as the switcher communicates.
Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables will 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 ISM 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, at a minimum, CAT 3 UTP or STP cable.
• 100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires, at a minimum, CAT 5 UTP or STP cable.
Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher • Installation2-6
Wiring the network cable
The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable (figure 2-8)
and must be properly terminated for your application:
• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the ISM to an Ethernet hub, router, or
switcher that also hosts a controlling computer.
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the ISM and a controlling
computer.

The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then describe the menu
system, the picture adjustments, and selection of executive mode.
Power
Power is automatically applied when the power cord is connected to an AC source.
When AC power is applied, the switcher performs a self-test that blinks all of the
front panel LEDs and then lights only the LED for the previously selected output
and the tied input. The self-test also displays the model name, part number, and
the firmware version in the LCD display. After approximately 2 seconds, the LCD
reverts to its default display cycle, alternating between two displays; one showing
the inputs selected for outputs 1 and output 2, and the other showing the selected
output rates (figure 3-6). An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves all of the
LEDs, with the exception of the selected output’s and input’s LEDs, off and the
LCD cycling through the default displays.
