Scaling Matrix SwitcherS
ISM 824
Modular Integration Scaling MultiSwitcher
feAtureS
•
Unique modular matrix switcher that allows for simultaneous video and RGB
scaling plus wideband switching in a single, compact enclosure
•
Seven available output board options:
- Universal RGB and Video scalers - DVI, HD-SDI, or Analog RGB output
- Video scaler
- Scan converter
- Single output wideband
- Dual output wideband
•
User-friendly interface — An intuitive menu-driven LCD interface, direct access
buttons, and precise rotary controls enable detailed adjustment of image settings.
•
Wideband 8x8 matrix switching — Provides exceptional performance in the most
demanding, very high resolution computer-video and audio routing systems.
•
Eight fully-configurable inputs — Accept RGBHV, HDTV, component video, S-video,
and composite video signals.
•
Two standard wideband outputs
•
Four output slots support optional expansion boards for signal processing or
additional wideband outputs
•
ADSP
™
- Advanced Digital Sync Processing — An exclusive, all-digital process
that regenerates the sync signal waveform and restores sync level to 5.0 V p-p, TTL,
specifications. This ensures a stable sync signal for improved signal compatibility with
any LCD, DLP, plasma, or other digital display device.
•
DSVP
™
- Digital Sync Validation Processing — Verifies active sources by polling
all inputs for valid sync signals. DSVP then transmits the horizontal and vertical sync
information to the user through the IP Link or serial ports.
•
Triple-Action Switching
™
for RGB Delay — Blanks the screen when switching to a
new source. The new sync signals precede the RGB signals, so there is no glitch shown
during the transition. The time delay between the RGB and sync signals is adjustable up
to five seconds through front panel, IP Link, or serial control.
•
Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break an audio signal away from its
corresponding video signal, allowing the audio and video signals from one source to be
switched to different destinations.
•
Audio input gain and attenuation — Allows users to set the level of gain or
attenuation for each audio input channel, eliminating noticeable volume differences
when switching between sources.
•
Audio output volume adjustment and muting — Can be set dynamically for each
channel through the front panel or serial control, eliminating the need for an audio
preamplifier in many system designs.
•
20 global presets — Frequently used I/O configurations may be saved and recalled
either from the front panel controller, IP Link, or serial control. This time-saving feature
allows I/O configurations to be set up and stored in memory for future use.
•
QS-FPC
™
- QuickSwitch Front Panel Controller with tri-color backlit buttons
— Provides a discrete button for each input and output, allowing for simple, intuitive
operation. Buttons can be custom labeled for easy identification. The buttons illuminate
red, green, or amber, depending on function, for ease of use in low-light environments.
•
Front panel security lockout — Prevents unauthorized use in non-secure environments.
In lockout mode, a special button combination is required to operate the switcher from the
front panel controller.
•
IP Link
®
Ethernet monitoring and control — Engineered to meet the needs
of professional A/V environments, IP Link enables the ISM 824 to be proactively
monitored and controlled over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet, using standard
TCP/IP protocols. IP Link provides for remote selection of input and output
ties, adjustment and control of audio input and output levels, and advanced
system diagnostics.
•
RS-232 and RS-422 serial control port — Using RS-232 serial commands, the
ISM 824 can be controlled and configured via the Extron Windows
®
-based control
program, or integrated into third-party control systems. Extron products use
the SIS
™
- Simple Instruction Set command protocol, a set of basic ASCII code
commands that allow for quick and easy programming.
•
Front panel configuration port — A front panel serial port allows easy
accessibility for configuring the ISM 824 without having to access the rear panel.
•
Windows
®
control software — Provides a graphical, drag-and-drop interface
for I/O configuration and other customization functions via RS-232 and RS-422
remote control. This software also offers an emulation mode for configuration
of an offsite matrix switcher; the I/O configuration may be saved for future
downloading to the matrix switcher.
•
Rack-mountable 3U, full rack width metal enclosure
•
Internal international power supply — The 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz, universal
power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
deScriPtion
The ISM 824 MultiSwitcher is a unique modular matrix switcher that allows for
simultaneous video and RGB scaling plus wideband switching in a single, compact
enclosure. It combines the powerful signal routing capabilities of an eight input, eight
output, wideband matrix switcher with the versatility of four customizable outputs. The
Extron ISM 824 can be equipped with any of the available scaling or scan conversion
output boards for initial project requirements, and then upgraded at any time in the future
with additional boards as system needs evolve and expand. It is ideal for applications
such as boardrooms, auditoriums, and classrooms that require high-performance signal
routing with flexible, on-board signal processing.
As a matrix switcher, the ISM 824 is similar in performance and features to Extron's
popular CrossPoint 450 Plus Series. The ISM 824 offers eight inputs that are fully
configurable from RGBHV and HDTV to composite video, and two fully configurable
wideband outputs. The ISM 824 provides exceptional performance in the most
demanding, very high resolution computer-video and audio routing systems with features
such as ADSP
™
- Advanced Digital Sync Processing, DVSP
™
- Digital Sync Validation
Processing, audio output volume control, and IP Link
®
Ethernet control and monitoring.
Expandable and Upgradeable
In addition to the two standard wideband outputs, the ISM 824 features a flexible, plug-in
backplane design with four output slots that support optional expansion boards for signal
processing, such as scaling and scan conversion, as well as additional wideband outputs.
With this unique, powerful expansion capability, the ISM 824 can be equipped initially
with any of the output boards for a specific project, and then upgraded in the future
with additional boards as system needs evolve and expand. Updates to the ISM 824 can
easily be accomplished in the field without the need for factory servicing or changes to
the internal hardware.
