ISS 408 Integrated Seamless Switcher • Installation 9
By default, the audio output follows the video switch. Audio breakaway, commanded via
the front panel, the Ethernet link, or the RS-232 link, allows you to select from any one
of the audio input sources. See the applicable portions of the “
Operation ” section (see
page 14), “ Programming Guide ” section (see page 41), “ Switcher Software ” section
(see page 54), and “ HTML Operation ” section (page 59).
Optional Output Connection
h
DVI output connector (optional) — If the optional DVI output card is installed,
connect a DVI/DFP-compatible video display to this DVI connector. This connector
outputs the program image only.
NOTE: For output resolutions with less than 1024 pixels horizontally, the true
horizontal resolution of the optional DVI program output is limited to 1024 pixels.
For the 1365 x 1024, 1080p, and 1080i output resolutions, the optional DVI
program output’s true horizontal resolution is limited to 1280 pixels. The DVI
card outputs all other selected resolutions normally (see the
table on page 20).
Ethernet connection
i
Ethernet port — If desired, connect the switcher to an Ethernet LAN or WAN via this
RJ-45 connector. Ethernet control allows the operator to control the switcher from a
remote location. When connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN, the switcher can be
accessed and operated from a computer running a standard Internet browser.
Ethernet connection indicators — The Link and Act LEDs indicate the status of the
Ethernet connection.
The Link LED indicates that the switcher is properly connected to an Ethernet LAN. This
LED should light steadily.
The Act LED indicates transmission of data packets on the RJ-45 connector. This LED
should flicker as the switcher communicates.
Cabling and RJ-45 connector wiring
It is vital that your Ethernet cables be the correct cables, and properly terminated with the
correct pinout.
Choosing a network cable
Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded
twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to
328’ (100 m).
NOTE:
• Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet.
• Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
The cable used depends on your network speed. The ISS supports both 10 Mbps
(10 Base-T — Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100 Base-T — Fast Ethernet), half-duplex and full-
duplex, Ethernet connections.
• 10 Base-T Ethernet requires at a minimum CAT 3 UTP or STP cable.
• 100 Base-T Fast Ethernet requires at a minimum CAT 5 UTP or STP cable.
