About the Switcher

The ISM 482 is an eight-input, two-independently-scaled-output, video and stereo
or mono audio matrix switcher. 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 switcher’s 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. With an optional DVI output card, the ISM converts the
scaled image to DVI as an additional set of output 1 signals.

The switcher inputs all valid video signal formats on eight sets of five BNC
connectors. The ISM 482 scales the input up or down to a wide variety of output
resolutions and rates. The 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. These connectors 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 switcher 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 switcher is ideal for displaying images on projectors with limited display
resolutions, such as LCD projectors, DLP projectors, and plasma projectors.

The switcher features built-in test patterns to aid in monitor or projector set-up and
evaluation.

The switcher is 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 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, 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 —

Standard 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.

Optional DVI video output — If you install the optional DVI output card, a

single buffered DVI-D signal can be output as an additional output 1 image.

For output resolutions with less than 1024 pixels horizontally, the optional
DVI output’s true horizontal resolution is limited to 1024 pixels. For the 1365
x 1024, 1080p, and 1080i output resolutions, the optional DVI output’s true
horizontal resolution is limited to 1280 pixels. The DVI card outputs all other
selected resolutions normally. See the table on page 3-10.

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 P AL —

These advanced, patent pending, film mode processing features help
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, 2:2 film detection, 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.

Integration Scaling Matrix Switcher • Introduction1-4

Audio gain/attenuation — Users can set the input level of audio gain or

attenuation (-24 dB to +9 dB) via the RS-232 port, 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 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.

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) — 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, Simple Instruction Set (SIS™), and Windows
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, 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.

Installation

Mounting the Switcher

Four uninstalled rubber feet are included with the switcher. If you are going to
rack mount the switcher, mount it before you cable it (see “Rack mounting”,
below), and do not install the rubber feet. If you are not rack mounting the
switcher, see “Tabletop placement” below.

Tabletop placement

For tabletop placement, install the self-adhesive rubber feet/pads (provided) onto
the four corners of the bottom of the switcher.

Rack mounting

UL requirements

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the
installation of the switcher into a rack (figure 2-1).

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a

closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the
rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature.
Therefore, install the switcher in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.

2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air

flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous

condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and

consider the effect that circuit overloading 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) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-

mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).

Patch (straight) cable

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 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.

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:

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.

• 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

software, which is shipped with every Extron Matrix Switcher, or with any
Brother
alphanumeric characters, or even color bitmaps for easy and intuitive input
and output selection (figure 3-4). See chapter 5, “Switcher Software”, for
details on using the label software.
