SDI/HD-SDI video (scalers with an optional SDI board only)

•

The ISS seamlessly switches between the program and preview inputs without a loss of sync. The ISS can also mask the switch between sources with a dissolve or one of a variety of other transition effects for a professional look. The audio transition can also be accompanied by either a cut or a cross fading effect.

Each video input is individually conﬁgurable to allow for different video formats. The ISS allows the various high-resolution and low-resolution video formats to be displayed on a device with a ﬁxed resolution and aspect ratio, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) projector, a digital light processor (DLP) projector, a plasma display, or, optionally, a DVI or HD-SDI device.

The ISS provides two separate outputs: the program output and the preview output. The program output is the picture the audience sees. The preview output allows the switcher operator to view the image before it is sent to the program output for the audience to see. With an optional HD-SDI, DVI, or scan converter output board, the ISS converts the scaled image to digital video or low resolution video as an additional program output.

Figure 1-1 — Typical ISS 506 Integration Seamless Switcher application

The switcher inputs all video signal formats on a combination of connectors as follows:

• Inputs 1 through 4 — Four sets of ﬁve BNC connectors that can input

RGBHV, RGBS, YUV-HD, YUVp, RGBcvS, YUVi, S-video, or composite video

• Input 5 — Three BNC connectors that can input YUVi, S-video, or composite

video

• Input 6 — Either a BNC connector that receives composite video or a 4-pin

mini DIN connector that receives S-video

• Optional input 6 — With an optional board, an optional BNC connector can

receive SDI or HD-SDI video.

The ISS 506 scales the input up or down to any of a wide variety of output resolutions and rates. The scaler outputs the scaled video as RGBHV, RGBS, or component video on two sets of program connectors (ﬁve BNC connectors and a 15-pin HD connector) and one 15-pin HD preview connector. The program output BNC connectors and 15-pin HD connector share identical outputs. With one of three optional output boards, the scaler can also have a third program output, either:

• DVI video on a DVI connector

• Scan converted video on three BNC connectors

• HD-SDI digital video on a BNC connector (720p and 1080i)

The ISS 506 features HDTV 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p outputs.

Introduction, cont’d

The ISS receives and outputs the stereo audio on 5-pole captive screw connectors. The audio can be switched with cross fading (that is, the previous audio channel fades out and then the new audio channel fades in).

For upscaling, the ISS 506 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 ISS 506 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. The ISS 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, plasma projectors, and (with an optional DVI board) a DVI display or projector.

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

The switcher is housed in a rack-mountable, 2U high, 17.5" wide, metal enclosure. The ISS has an internal 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 45 watts internal power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.

Features

Inputs —

Video inputs — The ISS switches among six conﬁgurable RGB, HDTV

component video, component video, S-video, and composite video inputs.

Optional video input board — With an optional SDI/HD-SDI input board, an

HD-SDI or SDI video signal can be applied to input 6, in place of the S-video

or composite video input.

Audio inputs — The ISS switches among six balanced or unbalanced stereo or

mono audio inputs on 5-pole captive screw connectors.

Outputs —

Standard video outputs — The ISS outputs individually scaled video signals as

RGBHV, RGBS, or component video. One set of BNC connectors and one

15-pin HD connector are provided for the program output. One 15-pin HD

connector is provided for the preview output.

Optional video output daughterboards — With an optional DVI, HD-SDI, or

scan converter output board, an additional program video output is available,

based on the board installed:

• DVI board — The ISS outputs a single loop of DVI-D on a DVI connector. The DVI output resolution follows the program output.

• HD-SDI board — The ISS outputs an HD-SDI video signal, 1080i or 720p, on a BNC connector.

You must set the output rate to 720p (at 25, 30, 50, 59.94, or 60 Hz), 1080i

(at 50, 59.94 or 60 Hz), or 1080p (at 24, 25, or 30 Hz) to activate the HD-SDI output.

• Scan converter board — The ISS outputs a scan-converted video signal (low resolution RGsB, component video, S-video, or composite video) on three BNC connectors.

The scan converter output board can output S-video and composite video

simultaneously.

Audio outputs — The ISS outputs the selected unampliﬁed, line level, balanced

or unbalanced stereo or mono audio on 5-pole captive screw connectors.

Operational ﬂexibility — Operations such as input selection, transitions, and

picture adjustments, and volume control can be performed on the front panel or via the Ethernet or serial link. The serial links allow remote control via a PC or control system. The Ethernet link allows multiple remote links with two levels of password protection.

• Front Panel Controller — The front panel controller supports all ISS 506

functions. The input buttons can be labeled with text or graphics.

• Windows-based control program — For serial port or Ethernet remote

control from a PC, the Extron Windows-based control software provides a graphical interface and drag-and-drop/point-and-click operation.

• Simple Instruction Set (SIS

SIS for easy programming and operation.

• Remote control panels — The switcher is are remote controllable, using the

optional RCP 2000 Remote Control panel.

3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC and 2:2 ﬁlm detection for PAL video sources —

These advanced 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 de-interlacing techniques are used on ﬁlm-source video. The ISS’s advanced ﬁlm mode processing recognizes signals that originated from ﬁlm. The ISS 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 2:2 pulldown 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 under RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet remote control.

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

attenuation (-18 dB to +24 dB) via the RS-232/RS-422 or Ethernet link, or from the front panel. Individual input audio levels can be adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences between sources.

Audio cross-fading — A transition technique that is applied during the switches.

It lowers the audio level of the switched out source while simultaneously raising the audio level of the activated source.

Logos — The ISS can display one or two logos on the preview and program

outputs. The ISS can store up to 16 MB of bimapped logos.

Image (logo) save and recall — The ISS can capture an input image and save it for

use as a logo.

Picture-in-picture and title — The ISS can display the preview input on top of the

program output as either a picture-in-picture (PIP) window or a title.

LAN port — Supports connection to an Ethernet LAN so that the switcher can be

accessed and operated anywhere in the world from a computer running 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 signals.

Input presets — The ISS 506 has memory for up to 128 presets that allow the

user to use SIS commands to save and recall color, tint, contrast, brightness, centering, sizing, and ﬁltering information.

User presets — Three presets for each input save different settings for color, tint,

contrast, brightness, detail, size, centering, and input conﬁgurations.

Freeze mode — Locks the output display to the selected image. Once the display

is frozen, you can remove an input without losing the output image. This feature lets the ISS function as a still store.

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).

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 ISS supports both 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections.

communications function as the rear panel Remote port, but it is easier to access than the rear port after the matrix switcher has been installed and cabled. The optional 9-pin D to 2.5 mm mini jack TRS RS-232 cable, part #70-335-01 (ﬁgure 2-16), can be used for this connection.

Figure 2-16 — Optional 9-pin TRS RS-232 cable

This port is independent of the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port. A front panel

Conﬁguration port connection and a rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port connection can both be active at the same time.

This port is RS-232 only, with its default protocols as follows:

• 9600baud • noparity • 8databits

• 1stopbit • noowcontrol

The maximum distance from the seamless switcher to the controlling device

can vary up to 200 feet (61 m). Factors such as cable gauge, baud rates, environment, and output levels (from the switcher and the controlling device) all affect transmission distance. Distances of about 50 feet (15 m) are typically not a problem. In some cases the matrix switcher may be capable of serial communications via RS-232 up to 250 feet (76 m) away.

Film Mode submenu

The Film Mode submenu lets you turn PAL ﬁlm mode (2:2 pulldown detection) on and off for each input. The PAL ﬁlm mode should be used for a PAL video source that originated from ﬁlm. PAL ﬁlm mode applies video processing algorithms that optimize the conversion of video that was made with the 2:2 pulldown (PAL video from ﬁlm) process.

Rotate the Adjust [ knob while the Input format submenu is active to select an input to conﬁgure. Rotate the Adjust { knob to select On or Off.

Vertical Start and Horizontal Start submenus

The Vertical Start submenu deﬁnes the number of lines per frame that are inside the blanking area above the active area (ﬁgure 3-5). The Horizontal Start submenu deﬁnes the number of pixels per line that are inside the blanking area to the left of the active area.

3-8

ISS 506 Integration Seamless Switcher • Operation

Figure 3-5 — Incorrectly started image

Both submenus adjust where the electronic scaling process takes effect. The input starting point and active area should be manually adjusted, if necessary, to match the input video signal, framing the active area of the input signal. If the start point is set incorrectly, the scaler may add blank borders on the leading edges (top or left side) or it may crop the active area on the trailing edges (bottom or right side).

Select the appropriate submenu. Rotate the Adjust [ knob while the Input format submenu is active to select an input to conﬁgure. Rotate the Adjust { knob to set the start variable.

Figure 3-5 shows an image that is improperly started (as indicated by the dashed

lines). If the horizontal start adjustment is set to less than the amount of actual blanking, the ISS starts scaling the input before the start of the active image.

Page 37

Total Pixels

Active

Area

Blanking Area

This early scaling results in a blank border on the left side and cropping on the right side, and looks as if the image is shifted to the right.

Preview and Program Phase submenus

The Preview and Program Phase submenus display and let you set the pixel phase, which is the timing of the digital scaler’s sampling. Sampling at the optimum pixel phase results in a brighter scaled output.

Select the desired submenu. Rotate the Adjust [ knob while the Input format submenu is active to select an input to conﬁgure. Rotate the Adjust { knob to set the phase variable from 0 to 31. The default is 16.

Similarly, if the vertical start adjustment is set to less than the amount of actual blanking, the ISS starts scaling before the ﬁrst line of the active image. This early scaling results in a blank border on the top and cropping on the bottom, and looks as if the image is shifted down.

Adjust the Vertical Start variable to shift the starting period vertically on the screen. Adjust the Horizontal Start variable to shift the scaler’s starting point horizontally on the screen.

If improperly adjusted, the output position variable can result in an image similar to ﬁgure 3-5. The position adjustment only moves the image on the monitor. It does not add blank borders or crop any part of the image. However, the apparent effect of blank borders and a cropped image can be caused by the image being improperly positioned on the monitor.

Total Pixels submenu

The total pixels variable (RGB and progressive/HDTV component only) deﬁnes the total number of pixels per line, including the blanking on both sides of the input active area (active, horizontal sync width, back porch, and front porch).

There are several methods to determine the correct value to use in the total pixels variable. Usually, the best method is to use the input signal speciﬁcations. For some input sampling rates, the scaler’s setting can result in ﬁne vertical lines (ﬁgure 3-6).

Active Pixels

Active

Lines

Incorrect Active Area

Active Area

Blanking Area

These lines appear as fuzzy vertical bars when an alternating pixels pattern is applied. When the total pixels setting is improperly adjusted, the entire image can have a noisy or darkened appearance. Adjusting the phase corrects this.

As an approximate setting, multiply the active pixels setting (see “Active Pixels and Active Lines submenus”, below) by a factor of 1.3.

If the input pixel clock rate is known, the input total pixels setting can be calculated with this equation: total pixels = input pixels clock ÷ input horizontal scan rate. Once a preliminary setting is saved, some faint vertical lines may remain. Adjust the total pixels variable as necessary until the lines are completely out of view or as far apart as you can make them. If one line remains, it can be moved out of view using the Phase submenu (see “Preview and Program Phase submenus” on page 3-9).

The active pixels and total pixels adjustments are interactive. Setting one of

these variables may require adjusting the other.

Active Pixels and Active Lines submenus

Two submenus deﬁne the active (image) area of the input (ﬁgure 3-7):

 • Active pixels — The number of pixels per line that are inside the input active

area. The baseline for the active pixels adjustment is the right edge of the image. This value is often referred to as “horizontal resolution”.

 • Active lines — The number of lines per frame that are inside the input active

area. The baseline for the active lines adjustment is the bottom edge of the image. This value is often referred to as “vertical resolution”.

For interlaced input signals, this variable refers to the total number of lines

per frame after de-interlacing, not the number of lines per ﬁeld.

Figure 3-7 shows an image whose active area is improperly set, as indicated by

the dashed lines. If the number of active image pixels that the scaler is set to scale is less than the amount of actual active pixels that are input, the ISS scales only the set active area and skips some of the input pixels. This early end to the scaling process results in an output with fewer pixels than it should, and looks as if the image is stretched horizontally.

Similarly, if the number of active image lines that the ISS is set to scale is less than the amount of actual active lines that are input, the ISS scales only the set active area and skips some of the input lines.

Auto Image submenu

The Auto Image submenu provides a means to turn the auto imaging on or off for individual input selections.

If auto imaging is set to on, the ISS always sizes and centers the selected input to ﬁll the screen when a new frequency is input. If auto imaging is set off, the ISS sizes and centers the selected input only when it is commanded using the Auto Image main menu (a different menu path). See “Auto Image menu”, on page 3-6. Rotate the Adjust [ knob while this submenu is active to select an input. Rotate the Adjust { knob to toggle auto imaging on or off for the displayed input.

Test Pattern submenu

The Test Pattern submenu lets you select from among several test patterns and assigns the selected pattern to either or both outputs. The test patterns are helpful when you are adjusting the connected displays for color, convergence, focus, resolution, contrast, grayscale, and aspect ratio.

Rotate the Adjust { knob while this submenu is active to select a test pattern. Rotate the Adjust [ knob to assign the test patter to the program output, the preview output, both outputs or to turn the test pattern off. The available test patterns are: Color Bars, crosshatch, 4 x 4 crosshatch, split grayscale, ramp, alternating pixels, crop, and ﬁlm aspect ratios 1.33, 1.78, 1.85, and 2.35 (ﬁgure 3-14). The side-by-side crop and aspect ratio patterns available from the submenu vary depending on the aspect ratio of the output rate.

The Auto Image function and the Auto Memories function (see “Auto Memories

submenu“, on the next page) work interactively. Each function can be on or off, giving four possible combinations, as follows:

• Auto Image on and Auto Memories on — The output signal is sized and

centered to ﬁll the screen and these Auto Image parameters are saved as an auto memory. The next time the unit encounters the same input signal, the saved parameters are aplied automatically. When all 16 auto memories are ﬁlled, the the oldest is overwritten by the newest.

• Auto Image off and Auto Memories on — The unit applies the default

values for the detected input resolution. If no further adjustments are made, the Auto Memories function does not save an entry (all parameters remain at their default settings). If you adjust the input manually or manually execute an Auto Image, the Auto Memories functions automatically store the new parameters.

• Auto Image on and Auto Memories off — An Auto Image function is

performed for each new input selected, but the parameters are not saved. The next time the unit encounters the same input signal, Auto Image function is repeated.

• Auto Image off and Auto Memories off — The unit takes no automatic

action when it detects a new input signal. Only Input Preset parameters are applied, when recalled via an SIS command (see the Command/Response Table for SIS commands, in chapter 4, “SIS

Programming and Control“).

Blue Mode submenu

The Blue Mode submenu lets you turn the blue-only mode feature on and off. Blueonly mode helps in the setup of the color and tint of the incoming video signal. In the blue-only mode, only the sync and blue video signals are passed to the display.

Use either Adjust knob to turn blue-only mode On or Off. The default is Off.

RGB Delay submenu

The RGB Delay submenu displays and lets you set the RGB delay when you are switching among inputs. With RGB delay, sync is never removed from the preview display. Rather, the ISS blanks the RGB (video) outputs while the scaler locks to the new sync, and then switches the RGB signals. This allows a brief delay for the displays to adjust to the new sync timing before displaying the new picture, which appears without glitches. RGB delay is also known as Triple-Action Switching video mute switching.

Use either Adjust knob to select the blanking period (RGB delay time) from 0 seconds to 5 seconds in 0.1 second steps. The default is 0.4 seconds.

Auto Memories submenu

The Auto Memories submenu provides a means to turn the auto presets features on or off for all input selections.

The auto memories feature saves and recalls centering, sizing, and ﬁltering information, based on the input frequency. Auto memory settings may conﬂict with user preset settings. When you use a control system to switch inputs and then recall a user memory, the delay in recalling the auto memory settings could result in the recalled auto memory settings overwriting the recalled user memory settings. To prevent this conﬂict, turn auto memories off. Rotate either Adjust knob to toggle auto memories on or off

The following paragraphs detail the power-up process and then describe input selection, switching between the preview and program outputs, preset selection, capturing and conﬁguring a logo, and using the title function.

Power-on indications

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 dimly blinks all of the front panel buttons twice, and then lights only the buttons for the selected inputs, the selected effect, and the Menu and Next buttons. The self-test also displays the model name and the ﬁrmware version in the LCD window. After approximately 2 seconds, the LCD window reverts to its default display cycle, alternating between three displays: two showing the selected program and preview inputs and their rates, and the third showing the selected output rate (ﬁgure 3-19). An error-free power up self-test sequence leaves all of the buttons off, with the exception of the selected inputs’ buttons and the selected transition effect’s button, and the LCD window displaying the default display cycle.

Figure 3-34 — Hard reset

Optimizing the Video

Perform the following steps, in sequence, after you have installed the ISS. This procedure will help you to conﬁgure the switcher for the best settings for your display environment. In a multi-screen environment, perform this procedure for each display.

See “Advanced Conﬁguration menu”, earlier in this chapter, to select and output a test pattern and to select and output blue-only video.

See “Adjusting the picture”, earlier in this chapter, to make adjustments to the picture quality.

See “User Presets menu”, earlier in this chapter, to save presets.

. If you are using a digital display, such as an LCD or DLP projector, use the

alternating pixels test pattern as a reference to adjust the phase and dot clock on the display devices.

If you are using a CRT display, use the cross hatch test pattern as a reference

to converge the display.

. Set the ISS to output either the crop test pattern for 4:3 video or the

appropriate aspect ratio test pattern. Use the display’s positioning controls to position the image so that you can see all sides of the test pattern on the display.

For the best results of this optimizing procedure, do not use the ISS’s center

controls to position the image.

ISS 506 Integration Seamless Switcher • Operation

3-41

Page 70

Operation, cont’d

3. Select an input. Use the ISS’s size and center functions to adust the crop or aspect ratio output to ﬁll the screen.

. If the input source is RGB, use the horizontal and vertical detail adjustments

to increase the sharpness.

. For S-video and composite video inputs, set the ISS to output blue-only

video and to output the Color Bars test pattern. Using the blue Color Bars as a reference, use the ISS’s color and tint controls to adjust the video’s color and tint.

. For RGB video inputs, set brightness and contrast levels. See “Adjusting the

picture”, earlier in this chapter.

. Save this setting into one of the user memories using the User Presets menu.

Setting up a DVD source

To get the best results when using a DVD as a video source, Extron recommends that the DVD player itself be set up to output an aspect ratio of 16:9 and not 4:3. Because all DVDs are mastered as 16:9, having them set up for anything else causes the player to internally scale and compress the signal. The DVD player’s scaling and compression defeats the advantage of having 3:2 pulldown detection in the ISS.

All sizing adjustments to correct aspect ratio should be done using the ISS.

To change the output aspect ratio of most DVD players:

If the input source is a DVD, set the DVD player to output a 16:9 aspect ratio

before sizing the image using the ISS’s size function to correct the aspect ratio. See “Setting up a DVD source”, below.

When you are sizing and centering a letterbox movie video source, increasing

the brightness on the ISS makes it easier to see the top and bottom of the active video.

Enter the DVD player’s setup or action menu while the disc is stopped.

2. Select the 16:9 aspect ratio.

Optimizing the Audio

Each individual input audio level can be adjusted within a range of -18 dB to +24 dB, so that there are no noticeable volume differences between sources and for the best headroom and signal-to-noise ratio. Adjust the audio gain and attenuation as follows:

. Connect audio sources to all desired inputs and connect the audio outputs

to output devices such as audio players. See “Audio input connections” and “Audio output connections” in chapter 2, “Installation.” For best results, wire all of the inputs and the outputs unbalanced.

. Power on the audio sources, the switcher, and the audio players.

3. Switch among the inputs (see “Selecting an input to be the preview output

and switching it to the program output”, earlier in this chapter), listening to the audio with a critical ear or measuring the output audio level with test equipment, such as a VU meter.

. As necessary, adjust the audio level of each input (see “Audio Level

submenu”, earlier in this chapter) so that the approximate output level is the same for all selected inputs.

introduced the problem or made it more complicated.

• For sync-related problems: Portable digital projectors are designed to operate close to the video source. Sync problems may result from using long cables or from improper termination. A sync adapter, such as Extron’s ASTA (Active Sync Termination Adapter), may help solve these problems.

• For LCD and DLP projectors and plasma displays: In addition to the sync-related information above, check the user’s manual that came with the projector for troubleshooting tips, as well as for settings and adjustments. Each manufacturer may have its own terms, so look for terms like “auto setup”, “auto sync”, “pixel phase”, and “tracking”.

General checks

1. Ensure that all devices are plugged in and powered on. The switcher is

receiving power if the LCD window is displaying the default display cycle.

. Ensure an active input is selected on the switcher.

3. Ensure that the proper signal format is supplied.

4. Check the cabling and make corrections as necessary.

5. Call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline if necessary. See the rear

Host-to-Switcher Instructions

The switcher accepts SIS commands through its serial ports and/or its LAN port. SIS commands consist of one or more characters per command ﬁeld. They do not require any special characters to begin or end the command character sequence. Each switcher response to an SIS command ends 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.

Switcher Error Responses

When the switcher receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the switcher is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the switcher returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E01 — Invalid input channel number (too large) E10 — Invalid command E11 — Invalid preset number (too large) E12 — Invalid output number (too large) E13 — Invalid value (out of range) E14 — Invalid for this conﬁguration

Using the Command/Response Tables

The command/response table begins on the next page. Except for the gain and attenuation settings and the ﬁlter settings, upper or lowercase letters are acceptable in the command ﬁeld. The table below shows the hexadecimal equivalent of each ASCII command.

With the exception of the audio gain (G) and attenuation (g) and horizontal

ﬁltering (D) and vertical ﬁltering (d) commands, the SIS commands are not case sensitive.
