• DISSOLVE — The previous program output fades out while the image from the preview output fades into the program output
using the user-defined duration. To configure:
1. Select the DISSOLVE button to go to the Effect Duration submenu.
2. Rotate the ADJUST knobs to select the length of time for the image to dissolve. Choose from 0.1 to 5.0 seconds

2. Press the TAKE button (D) to execute the selected effect.
• If CUT, DISSOLVE or WIPE is selected, the preview output switches to the
program output with the effect selected.
• If PIP is selected, the preview output appears on top of the program output as a
PIP window, with the dissolve effect and user-defined effect duration.
• If VIDEO KEY is selected, the preview output appears on top of the program
output, using a cut transition.
NOTE: The PIP and VIDEO KEY buttons blink when the effect is live on the
program output.

blinks if there is a logo on program output whether there is a logo on preview output or not.
Recall Layout Presets
Layout presets are used to precongure a presentation prior to going live. This minimizes missed cues or incorrect video layout. A
layout preset captures transition effect settings, a logo preset, the input channel, and any picture control adjustments made to the
preview output. When recalled, layout presets apply the settings to the preview output to review the conguration before TAKE is
pressed to make it live on the program output.
1. Press the RECALL/SAVE button (see figure4, Don page2) to go to the Recall Layout menu.
2. Rotate either ADJUST knobs to select a saved Layout Preset.
3. Press the ENTER button to recall the selected preset to the preview output.
Adjust the Size and Position of the Program or Preview
The size and position of the program or preview can be adjusted using the ADJUST SIZE and POSITION buttons (E).
• Press SIZE or POSITION buttons to toggle between the PREVIEW image and the PROGRAM image adjustments.

Remote Configuration
The ISSswitcher can be congured remotely via Extron Product Conguration Software (PCS) or Simple Instruction Set (SIS)
Commands.
• PCS — To configure using PCS, install the software (available at www.extron.com) to a PC connected to the switcher via
Ethernet or the front panel USB Config port. For full instructions, connect to the device and click the arrow in the ISStab,
then select the ISSHelp File from the drop-down list.
• Basic SIS Commands — To configure using SIS commands via an RS-232, USB, or Ethernet connection, use the Extron
DataViewer utility or a control system to send and receive SIS commands. The following table lists common SIS commands
and the symbol definitions. For a full list of SIS commands and variables, see the ISS608 and ISS 612 User Guide at
www.extron.com.
