GSS 100 • Setup Guide
The Extron GSS 100 is a portable graphic still store with 16 MB of memory that can hold up to
6 XGA (1024 x 768) bitmap images (BMP) or 32 or more XGA JPEG images.
The GSS outputs stored images in an RGB video format. The GSS provides a pass-through RGB
video input, in addition to the stored images, and allows you to switch the output between the
RGB pass-through input and one of the stored images.
