a. Program outputs — Connect video devices to the 15-pin HD output female connector (shown at right) and

the BNC connectors (shown below).

b. If an optional program output board is installed

(see the ISS 506 User Guide, available at

DVI Video

www.extron.com), connect a DVI-D (shown

at right), 3G/HD-SDI (shown below right), or
low resolution device (scan converted output),
shown below, to the board.

c. Preview output — Connect a video device to the 15-pin HD connector.

Step 4 — Audio

a. Connect up to six stereo or mono audio inputs to the 5-pole captive screw input connectors.

b. Connect balanced or unbalanced stereo audio or mono audio devices to one or both of the program captive screw output

connectors and the preview 5-pole captive screw output connector.

NOTE: The Variable Program audio output is adjustable

using the front panel Volume control. The other
audio outputs are not adjustable.

Step 5 — Serial ports

a. If desired, connect a control system or computer to the rear panel RS-232/RS-422 port, as shown below left.

b. If desired, connect a control system or computer to the front panel Configuration (RS-232) port. The optional 9-pin D to 2.5 mm

mini jack TRS RS-232 cable, part number 70-335-01, can be used for this connection, as shown below right.

If desired, connect a network WAN or LAN hub, a control system,
or computer to the Ethernet RJ-45 port. See the ISS 506 User
Guide, available at www.extron.com.

• Network connection — Wire as a patch cable.

• Computer or control system connection — Wire the interface

cable as a crossover cable.

NOTE: Defaults:

• RS-232 • 9600 baud

• IP: 192.168.254.254 • Subnet: 255.255.0.0

Powering Up

Apply power by connecting the power cord to an AC source. The switcher performs a self-test
that displays the model name and the firmware version in the LCD screen. After approximately
2 seconds, the LCD screen 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.

Front Panel Operations

Press and release the desired Program or Preview input selection
button. The button lights and the selected input displays on the
program or preview monitor.

Switch the preview output to the program output

NOTE: Select the sub-effect and duration using the Effects

Configuration menu.

1. For an effect to accompany the switch, press one of the Effects buttons.

Wipe — The image in the preview output “unrolls” over the top of the
program output using the duration and sub-effect.

Dissolve — The previous program output fades out and the image from
the preview output fades into the program output using the duration.

PIP — The image in the preview output appears in the program output as
a picture-in-picture window using the duration and sub-effect.

Title — The image in the preview output appears on top of the program
output as a title.

2. Press either the Cut or the Take button.

Cut — If Wipe or Dissolve is selected, the preview output switches to the
program output with no effect.

If PIP or Title is selected, the preview output appears on top of the
program output as a PIP window or title, with no effect.

Take — If Wipe or Dissolve is selected, the preview output switches to the
program output with the effect selected in step 1 and sub-effect and duration.

If PIP is selected, the preview output appears on top of the
program output as a PIP window, with the sub-effect and duration.

If Title is selected, the preview output appears on top of the
program output as a title, with no effect.
