About the Integration Scaling Multiswitcher
The Extron ISM 824 is a modular, eight video and audio input Integration Scaling
Multiswitcher with up to eight video and audio outputs. The video outputs
comprise of two pass-through outputs and four expansion slots that support a
combination of optional output cards. There are five models of output cards:
•
ISM RGB
Universal Scaler
— This card scales any low resolution input
signal (composite, S-video, or component video) or a high resolution
input signal (RGB, or component) to a high resolution signal (RGB or HD-
component) output up to 1600 x 1200 and HDTV 1080p. The card is available
with RGB/component, DVI, or HD-SDI ouputs.
•
ISM VS Video Scaler
— This card scales any low resolution input
(composite, S-video, or component video) to a high resolution (RGB or HD-
component) output up to 1400 x 1050 or HDTV 1080p. High resolution inputs
are passed through unchanged.
•
ISM SC Scan Converter
— This card converts any high resolution input
signal (RGB or HD-component) to a low resolution signal (composite, S-video
or component) output. In addition this output card supports genlocking of
any converted signal to an external sync source.
•
ISM 1WB Single Output Wideband
— This card takes any input signal type
and passes it through unprocessed.
N
The Universal Scaler, Video Scaler, Scan Converter, and Single Wideband cards
can be installed in any of the four output slot.
•
ISM 2WB Dual Output Wideband
— This card takes any input signal type
and passes it through unprocessed on the corresponding pins of either of two
15-pin HD connectors. This card can only be used fully in the first two slots
where dual outputs are supported.
N
When it is installed in slot #1, the top HD connector is output 3 and the bottom
is output 4.
When it is installed in slot #2 the top HD connector becomes output 5 and the
bottom is output 6.
