Introduction
About this Manual
This manual contains installation, configuration, and operating information for the
Extron ISS 506 family of 6-input Integration Seamless Switchers with audio.
About the Integration Seamless Switchers
The Extron ISS 506 is a family of scaling, video and stereo audio seamless switchers.
The ISS 506 family consists of the following five models:
• ISS 506 — Six-input seamless video switcher with audio
• ISS 506 DI/DVI — Six-input seamless video switcher with audio,
• ISS 506 SC — Six-input seamless video switcher with audio and
• ISS 506 DI/SC — Six-input seamless video switcher with audio, SDI/HD-SDI
•
N
Figure 1-1 on the next page shows a typical ISS 506 application. The switchers
accept up to six video and stereo inputs of various resolutions, scale the video
inputs, and output RGB or YUV video and audio. The scaler can input high
resolution video and/or low resolution video in the following formats:
SDI/HD-SDI video input, and digital visual interface (DVI) video output
scan-converted output
video input, and scan-converted output
ISS 506 DI/HD-SDI — Six-input seamless video switcher with audio,
SDI/HD-SDI video input, and HD-SDI output
In this manual, the terms “ISS 506” and “switcher“ refer to any of the above
models unless otherwise stated.
RGB (RGBHV, RGBS, RGBcvS) video
•
YUV-HD (HDTV) video
•
Progressive YUV component video
•
Interlaced YUV component video
•
S-video (Y/C)
•
Composite (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) video
•
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.
ISS 506 Integration Seamless Switcher • Introduction

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.
N
N
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.
1-4
ISS 506 Integration Seamless Switcher • Introduction
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.

Transitions — Control the type of switch that occurs between the preview and
program outputs. The Cut button creates an instant switch between the
preview and program outputs. The Wipe and Dissolve buttons switch with a
masking effect.
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 only, to help
installers calibrate the monitor or projector.

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
5 seconds under front panel, SIS, and program control.
Auto memories — The six inputs support 16 auto-recall memories each, based on
the incoming frequency. Information on sizing, centering, detail, contrast,
and brightness is saved. Auto memories can be turned off under advanced
configuration.
Auto Image

inputs as desired or set to automatically size and center each new input
selection.
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.
Rack mountable — The 2U high switcher can be mounted in any conventional 19"
wide rack.

or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet
cables are limited to 328' (100 m).
N
Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet.
N
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.
• 10Base-TEthernetrequiresataminimumCAT3UTPorSTPcable.
• 100Base-TFastEthernetrequiresataminimumCAT5UTPorSTPcable.
Wiring the network cable
The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable (figure 2-13)
and must be properly terminated for your application:
• Patch (straight) cable — Connection of the ISS to an Ethernet hub, router, or
switch that also hosts a controlling computer
• Crossover cable — Direct connection between the ISS and a controlling
computer

Serial port connection
RS-232/422 port — Connect a host device, such as a computer or touch
l
panel control, to the ISS 506 Integration Seamless Switcher via this 9-pin D
connector for serial RS-232 or RS-422 control (figure 2-14).
Figure 2-14 — Remote port pin assignments
See chapter 4, “SIS Programming and Control”, for definitions of the SIS
commands and chapter 5, “Scaler Software”, to install and use the control
software.
Reset button
Reset button — The Reset button initiates four levels of reset
m
to the matrix switcher. Use and Extron Tweeker or small
screwdriver to press and hold the button while the switcher is
running or while you power up the switcher, for different reset
levels.
See “Rear Panel Reset Button” in chapter 3, “Operation”, for details.
• Events (mode 3) reset — Hold Reset for 3 seconds, then release it and
push it again to toggle events monitoring on and off.
• IP settings (mode 4) reset — Hold Reset for 6 seconds, then release it and
push it again to reset the switcher’s IP functions.
N
IP settings reset does not replace any user-installed firmware.
• Absolute (mode 5) reset — Hold Reset for 9 seconds, then release it and
push it again to restore the switcher to the default factory conditions
(without resetting the firmware).
• Hard reset — Hold Reset while powering up the switcher to revert to
the factory default firmware (in the event that firmware incompatibility
issues occur).

Front Panel Configuration Port
Figure 2-15 — Front panel configuration port
Configuration port — This 2.5 mm mini stereo jack serves the same serial
n
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
N
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:
• 9600baud • noparity • 8databits
• 1stopbit • noowcontrol
N
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.
