The Extron ISM SC is a scan converter output board for the ISM 824 with four BNC connectors
and a local audio output. The board mounts in one of
the four vertical expansion slots (numbered 1 to 4) at
the rear of the ISM 824.
For full operating details of the ISM refer to the
ISM 824 User’s Manual, online at www.extron.com.
To install an output board in the ISM 824 base unit,
1. Turn off the ISM 824, and remove the power cord.
Repeat for all connected devices.
2. At the rear, select an open slot, or take out the blank
plate from the desired output port by removing the
two retaining screws (top and bottom), and lifting
the blank away.
N Re-use the screws to secure the new output
3. Remove the board from its outer box and anti-ESD
4. With the board upright, align the front (non-connector end) of the board with the top and
board in place. Retain the blank plates.
If a board is already installed in the desired slot,
remove the screws and carefully pull out the
board.
bag, holding the board by the rear frame.
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.
5. If applicable, repeat steps 2 through 4 for any other output boards.
6. Power on the ISM 824. The new output board(s) is autodetected, and
takes approximately 30 seconds to initialize. The 16 character LCD
display indicates the new board type, slot used, and counts down the
initialization time. See inset for example display for a new ISM SC board installed in slot #2,
with 14 seconds left.
7. Following the image at right, connect output device cables
to the BNC connectors to output RGsB, component, S-video or
composite video signals. The output can be configured from the
front panel or by SIS™ commands. The composite video output
(the bottom BNC connector) is always active.
8. 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 SC configuration menu
Using the front panel menu buttons (Menu and Next), the ISM SC board configuration menu
can be accessed. From the Output Configuration screen, press Next until reaching the #x
ScanConverter 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’s Manual, 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 Scan Converter menu. Follow the figure below to enter each menu and
use the Adjust knobs to change value as desired.
Input Setup
The Input Setup submenu allows configuration of aspect ratios.

and the active horizontal and vertical area. Rotate one or both
Adjust knobs as required to change values.
Output Type
The Output Type submenu displays and allows changing the
format of the scan converted output. Use the Adjust knobs to
select RGsB, low resolution component video (YUV), or S-video.
Output Standard
The Output Standard submenu displays and allows changes to the output standard. Use the
Adjust knobs to select between NTSC, NTSC 0 IRE, and PAL.
Flicker Filter
The Flicker Filter reduces the flicker in the connected output display. When this submenu is
active, rotate either Adjust knob to set the flicker filter value (0-3).
Encoder Filter
The Encoder Filter maintains the sharpness of the connected output display. When this
submenu is active, rotate either Adjust knob to set the encoder filter value (0-3).

Full Screen
The Full Screen submenu allows per-input setting of the displayed image on the output screen.
When set to Off (default) the aspect ratio follows input resolution and the output image retains
the input setting. When set to On, the aspect ratio follows the output resolution, and the
displayed image always fills the screen.
Board-specific SIS commands table
Alternatively, the ISM SC board can be configured with specific SIS commands.
The table below lists some of the ISM SC board-specific commands. For a full list of SIS
