output. The board mounts in one of the four vertical expansion slots (numbered 1 to 4)
at the rear of the ISM 824. Refer to the ISM 824 User Guide, online at www.extron.com
for operating details.
To install an ISM RGB output board in the ISM 824 base unit,
1. Turn off the ISM 824. Remove the power cord. Repeat for all connected devices.
2. Select an open slot at the rear, or take out a blank plate by removing the two
retaining screws (top and bottom), and lifting the plate away.
NOTE: Retain and re-use the screws to secure the new output board in place. Retain
the blank plates. If a board is installed in the desired slot, remove the screws
and carefully pull out the board.
The Extron® ISM RGB is a
universal video and RGB
scaler, analog output board
R/
for the ISM 824. It has five BNC
connectors and a local audio
3. Holding the new board by the frame, align
the front (non-connector end) of the board
with the top and bottom plastic guides in the
ISM 824. Slide the board in carefully, keeping
within the guides. Push it into place firmly,
and secure it with the retained screws.
4. If required, repeat steps 2 through 4
for any other output boards.
5. Power on the ISM 824. Any new output
boards are auto-detected, and take

board type, slot used, and counts down the
initialization time. See inset for example display for a new
ISM RGB board installed in slot #2, with 23 seconds left.
6. Following the image at right, connect output device
cables to the BNC connectors to output RGBHV, RGBS
video, RGsB, or HD component video signals. The output can
be configured from the front panel (see page 2) or by SIS™
commands (see page 3).
7. Insert a 5-pole captive screw connector into the local audio
output connector for balanced or unbalanced stereo audio
output. Wire the connector as shown below.

ISM RGB configuration menu
Using the front panel menu buttons (Menu and Next), the ISM RGB board
configuration menu can be accessed. From the Output Configuration screen, press
Next until reaching the #x UnivScaler menu (see the image below). Press Menu and
Next to navigate through the menus and use the front panel adjustment knobs
({ [), to change the settings as desired. For full menu details see the ISM 824 User
Guide, online at www.extron.com.
From the default cycle press Menu repeatedly to reach the Output
Configuration menu. Press Next (enters Select Output menu) and rotate
either adjust knob to select the Universal Scaler menu. Follow the figure
below and use the Adjust knobs to change value as desired.
