Integration Scaling Multiswitcher

The multiswitcher accepts up to eight video inputs of various resolutions on ﬁve

female BNC connectors per input. Depending on the output board congurations,

the multiswitcher scales, down-converts, or simply passes the video inputs to

output RGB or YUV video. The outputs are made on ve female BNC connectors, or two 15-pin HD connectors (dual wideband board only), DVI-D connectors, and HD-SDI connectors (supports SMPTE 292M standard). Inputs and outputs are

made in the following signal formats:

• RGB (RGBHV, RGBS) video

• YUV-HD (HDTV) video

• Progressive YUV component video

• Interlaced YUV component video

• S-video (Y/C)

• Composite (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) video Each video input is individually congurable for color, tint, brightness, contrast,

detail, position, size, and zoom via the front panel, RS-232/RS-422, or Ethernet

control. The ISM also 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.

Figure 1-1 shows an example of an ISM 824 application.

Figure 1-1 — Typical ISM 824 application

Balanced or unbalanced stereo or mono audio inputs are made on eight 5-pole captive screw connectors, numbered 1 through 8.

Introduction, cont’d

Individual audio input gain and attenuation can be displayed and adjusted from

-18 dB to +24 dB via the front panel, Ethernet, or RS-232/RS-422 control.

Output volume can be displayed and adjusted as desired through a range of

0 to 64 dB, in 1 dB steps via the front panel, Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422 control.

In addition, all audio settings can be set to the same desired input and output

setting via the Windows Control Program. Both input gain and output volume adjustments are available at the front panel, by RS-232/RS-422 control, or Ethernet

connection.

Serial control of the switcher by RS-232/RS-422 is achieved by connecting a host device such as a PC or control system to the rear panel 9-pin D connector, or the 2.5 mm mini stereo jack on the front panel (only RS-232 control). This allows the user

to control and congure the multiswitcher using Extron SIS ISM 824 Windows Control Program. See chapter 4, “SIS

Control”, and chapter 5, “ISM 824 Software”, for details.

An Ethernet connection is made using the RJ-45 connector on the rear panel.

The ISM 824 features HDTV 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p outputs.

The switcher has 16 user deﬁned presets, allowing the user to save the current video and audio tie (input x to output x) as an I/O preset to any one of 16 preset memory addresses via the front panel. Presets 1 through 8 are assigned to the input buttons, and 9 through 16 are assigned to the output buttons. See chapter 3,

“Operation and Setup”, for details.

The switcher is housed in a rack-mountable, 3U high, 17.5" wide, metal enclosure and uses an external 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 65 watt power supply.

ISM 824 Integration Scaling Multiswitcher • Introduction

Features

Inputs —

Video inputs — The ISM switches among eight congurable RGB, HDTV

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

Audio inputs — The ISM switches among eight balanced or unbalanced stereo or

mono audio inputs on 5-pole captive screw connectors.

Outputs —

Standard pass-through video outputs — The ISM 824 outputs any video signals,

unprocessed, on outputs 1 and 2.

Optional output boards — With optional scaler, scan converter, dual or single

wideband output boards installed in the expansion slots, up to six additional program video outputs are available. The output signals are scaled, converted or passed through, based on the board type installed:

• ISM RGB, ISM DVI, or ISM HDSDI (Universal Video and RGB Scalers with BNC, DVI, or HDSDI output connectors) — Scales any low or high

resolution input signal to a high resolution signal up to 1920 x 1200, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.

• ISM VS (Video Scaler) — Scales any low resolution input up to 1400 x 1050 or HDTV 1080p. High resolution inputs pass-through

unchanged.

• ISM SC Scan Converter — Converts any high resolution input signal to a low resolution signal. Genlocking of any converted signal to an external

sync source is available with this output board.

• ISM 2WB Dual output wideband — This optional board takes any two input signals and passes them through unprocessed on two 15-pin HD

connectors.

• ISM 1WB Single output wideband — This optional board takes any input signal type and passes it through unprocessed on BNC connectors.

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

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

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 lm. When lm 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 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 2:2 pulldown process is used for PAL ﬁlm-source video. Switching ﬂexibility — Provides individually buffered, independent matrix

switched outputs with audio follow and audio breakaway for audio models.

• Tie any input to any or all outputs

• Quick multiple tie — Multiple inputs can be switched to multiple outputs

simultaneously. This allows all displays (outputs) to change from source to source at the same time.

• Audio follow — Audio can be switched with its corresponding video input

via front panel control or under Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422 remote control.

ISM 824 Integration Scaling Multiswitcher • Introduction

Introduction, cont’d

• Audio breakaway — Audio can be broken away from its corresponding

video signal. This feature allows any audio signal to be selected with any video signal simultaneously to one or all outputs in any combination. Audio

breakaway switching can be done via front panel control or under Ethernet or

RS-232/RS-422 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.

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 comb ﬁlter that can

decode NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM signals.

Triple-Action Switching

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

5 seconds under front panel, SIS, and program control.

Rack mountable — The 3U high switcher can be mounted in any 19" wide rack.

ISM 824 Integration Scaling Multiswitcher • Installation

Mounting the Switcher

If the ISM 824 is to be rack mounted, it is important to mount it before cabling it. Four uninstalled rubber feet are included with the ISM 824. Install the feet only if the unit is to be mounted on top of a table (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 device.

UL guidelines for rack mounted devices

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the ISM

824 in a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If 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 ISM 824 in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature

(Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specied 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).

Rack mounting

To rack mount the ISM 824, use two screws on each end of the switcher to attach the switcher to the rack (see ﬁgure 2-1).

Cabling and RJ-45 connector wiring

It is vital that the Ethernet cables used be the correct type of cable, 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 the 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.

Terminating the network cable

The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable (ﬁgure 2-4) and must be properly terminated relevant to the 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.

Figure 2-4 — RJ-45 connector pinout tables

Reset button and LED — Pressing this recessed button causes

certain IP functions and Ethernet connection settings to be reset to the factory defaults. The green LED above the button blinks a

varying number of times to indicate which reset mode has been entered.

Buttons for output(s) that were already tied to the input light the appropriate color (steady). Outputs that are already tied should be left on if that tie is desired, along with any new (ﬂashing) selections.

To replace both video and audio ties, ensure both I/O buttons are lit at step 3. The inputs and outputs light amber.

I/O (Input/Output) grouping

The ISM 824 has I/O grouping, that allows the user via front panel control to setup four separate, non-interactive groups of inputs and outputs. The four groups are assigned by the control buttons as follows;

Enter = group #1, Preset = group #2, View = group #3, and Esc = group #4

When setting up the groups from the ISM 824 front panel, any input or output can

be assigned to any of the four groups, or to no group, but not to multiple groups. Only those inputs and outputs that are within the same group can be tied with one another. For example, inputs and outputs within group 4, cannot be tied to inputs

or outputs belonging to groups 1, 2, or 3. Ungrouped inputs and outputs can be

added to any group, or tied to one another independently of any group via front panel control.

Grouping allows specic video formats to be sent to output devices that support

that format without fear of sending them to incompatible output devices.

Grouping can also be used for input and output devices that are physically in

separate rooms, or for isolating video from being displayed on speciﬁc outputs for security reasons.

Existing groups are displayed on the LCD when grouping is being setup or

changed. In addition, any selected input or output button, when pressed and held for three seconds, lights green if they are already assigned to a group (including

group 0 = no group). At the same time the other buttons allocated to the same

group also light green while the selected button is held down. This allows the user to tie those buttons within the same group.

For I/O grouping to function at least two groups must be created.

Inputs and outputs within different groups can only be tied to one another

The device times out and all lit buttons extinguish, if the selected button is held

An example of creating a set of I/O groups

In the following example one of the four sets of I/O groups are set up. In this example, input’s 3, 4, and 8, and outputs 2, 3, and 8, are to be assigned to I/O group #2. All other buttons do not have a group assigned.

I/O buttons light green when pressed. Do not confuse this with video signal

only inputs or outputs that normally light green. Each input or output within a group can transmit video only, audio only, or both.

1. Press Esc to clear all pending changes and reset the LCD (see gure 3-19).

2. Press and hold down the input and output buttons #1 simultaneously, for

around 3 seconds (see gure 3-19). Those two buttons and the Enter button

will stop ﬂashing. All ungrouped buttons light steady green and the LCD screen displays the currently grouped input and output buttons, by their group number.

In this example input #2 and output #’s 1, 5, and 7, have already been added to

group #1. The remaining ungrouped buttons light green, and the LCD displays “1” for grouped, and “0” for ungrouped inputs and outputs.

I/O presets

Overview

The ISM 824 has a total of sixteen I/O preset memory addresses available. Each

preset can be saved and recalled using the front panel input and output buttons with presets 1 through 8 assigned to the input buttons, and presets 9 through 16 assigned to the output buttons. Any current tie conﬁguration can be saved to any one of the preset locations, in any order. Saving the current conﬁguration to an existing preset overwrites that existing preset in favor of the new conﬁguration.

Likewise, when a preset is recalled, it replaces the current (active) conﬁguration, which is then lost unless already saved in a previous preset location. The recalled preset overwrites all of the current conﬁguration ties, in favor of the recalled conﬁguration. Read all the notes below.

I/O presets are not the same as memory or user presets, which are used to store

image sizing and centering conﬁgurations.

Presets can not be viewed from the front panel, unless recalled as the current

conﬁguration.

Only the audio and video ties are stored and recalled as a preset. Audio gain

settings are not saved, and do not change when a preset is recalled.

The current conﬁguration and all I/O presets are stored in non-volatile memory.

When power is removed and restored, the current conﬁguration is active and all presets are retained.

When a preset mode is recalled, all the input and output buttons with previously

assigned presets light red.

Saving a preset

To save a preset do the following:

1. Press the Esc button to clear all pending changes and reset the LCD.

2. Press and hold the Preset button until it ﬂashes red. Input and output buttons

light red and the LCD panel shows the Preset save mode (see gure 3-27).

• Next button — The Next button steps through the submenus in the ISM menu

system or exits the menu system. See “Front Panel Operations” in this chapter for details.

Each level has separate submenus, which are accessed by pressing the Next button.

At any point within a submenu, pressing the Menu button takes the user back up a sub-level. Repeated pressing of the Menu button eventually takes the user out to the top level menus. The top level menu ﬂow is shown in ﬁgure 3-41. Individual menu sub level access and operation is discussed in detail below.

Auto Image menu

This is the ﬁrst menu level, and is reached by pressing the Menu button once when the unit is in default display cycle. This menu allows the user to apply auto image features to applicable outputs.

Useful for where a variety of input sources might be used, the ISM 824 auto image

feature automatically sizes and centers the selected input to ﬁll the screen every time a new input signal is detected. This is done regardless of whether that input frequency has been detected before, to overcome problems occurring on signals

having the same H and V frequencies, but different active video timing.

To set up auto image for an output board, do the following:

1. From the default cycle, press the Menu button once to select the auto image

menu (see ﬁgure 3-42).

ISM 824 Integration Scaling Multiswitcher • Operation and Setup

Auto image is not available for all outputs. When auto image is selected,

only those output buttons for scaler/scan converter boards having auto image capability and an active input signal ﬂash green.

ISM RGB board conguration menu

To congure the ISM RGB board using the Output Card conguration menus (see ﬁgure 3-44), follow the steps in each submenu shown below.

The Output Card conguration submenus for the Universal Scaler board are; Select Output, Input Setup, Output Cong, User Presets, and Advanced Cong.

Universal Scaler and Video Scaler boards have a different set of submenus and

are discussed separately.

Within any submenu, press the Menu button to go directly to the top level

LED ashes 2 times if events are starting; 3 times if events

are stopping.

Mode 4 does the following:

• Enables ARP capability.

• Sets the IP address back to factory default.

• Sets the subnet back to factory default.

• Sets the default gateway address back to the factory

default.

• Sets port mapping back to factory default.

• Turns DHCP off.

• Turns all events off. The Reset LED ashes 4 times in quick succession during

reset.

Mode 5 performs a complete reset to factory defaults (except the ﬁrmware).

• Does everything mode 4 does.

• Resets everything that was set via the Real Time

Adjustments part of the control program: all video settings and miscellaneous options.

• Resets all IP options.

• Removes/clears all les from the processor. The Reset LED ashes 4 times in quick succession during

the reset.

Use mode 1

to remove a version of ﬁrmware if incompatibility issues arise.

Events must

be turned on if you want to change IP settings or scheduling.

Mode 4 enables you to set IP address information using ARP and the MAC address.

Mode 5 is useful if you want to start over with control software conﬁguration and uploading, and to replace events.

RS-232/RS-422 Link

The switcher’s rear panel Remote 9-pin D female connector (ﬁgure 4-1) can be connected to the RS-232/RS-422 serial port output of a host device such as a

computer running the HyperTerminal utility or a control system. This connection

makes software control of the switcher possible.

Figure 4-1 — Remote connector pin arrangement

The protocol is 9600 baud, 8-bit, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no ow control.

Front Panel Conguration Port

This port is hardwired for RS-232 only.

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.

The optional 9-pin D to 2.5 mm mini jack TRS RS-232 cable, part #70-335-01 (ﬁgure 4-2) can be used for connection to the Conﬁguration port.

Ethernet Link

The rear panel Ethernet connector on the switcher (gure 4-3) can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. This connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using a computer connected to the same LAN or WAN.

Figure 4-3 — RJ-45 connector pinout table

Ethernet connection

The cable can be terminated as either a patch cable or a crossover cable (ﬁgure 4-3) 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 computer

Default address

To access the switcher via the LAN port, you need the switcher’s IP address. If

Switcher-Initiated Messages

When a local event such as power-up or a front panel operation occurs, the switcher

responds by sending a message to the host. The switcher-initiated messages are listed below and on the following pages. The switcher does not expect a response from the host, but the host program may request a new status.

Host-to-Switcher Instructions

The multiswitcher 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 multiswitcher 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 ISM 824 receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid,

it performs the command and sends a response to the host device. If the multiswitcher is unable to perform the command because the command is invalid or contains invalid parameters, the multiswitcher returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E01 — Invalid input number E09 — Invalid preset number E12 — Invalid output number E13 — Invalid parameter E14 — Not valid for this conguration E17 — Illegal command for this signal type E22 — Busy E24 — Privilege violation E25 — Device not present E26 — Maximum number of connections exceeded

E27 — Invalid event number E28 — Bad lename/le not found E30 — Hardware failure (followed by colon (:) and descriptor #

E31 — Attempt to break port pass-thru when not set

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 and attenuation (G and g) and horizontal

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