c. Input 6 — Connect S-video, composite video or SDI/HD-SDI video to this female 4-pin mini-DIN or BNC connector as shown at right.

NOTE: The SDI or HD-SDI video input is available only if the optional SDI input board is installed.

Step 3 — Video outputs

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 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.

Step 6 — LAN (Ethernet) port

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 • Gateway: 0.0.0.0 • DHCP off

See “Configure Ethernet and RS-232/RS-422 ports,” on the next page, to change the settings.

Step 7 — Power

AC power connector — Plug in a standard IEC power cord from a 100 to 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz power source into this receptacle.

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 OperationsSelect an input

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.

A cable wired as T568A at one endand T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairsreversed) is a "crossover" cable.

A cable wired the same at both ends iscalled a "straight-through" cable, becauseno pin/pair assignments are swapped.
