Extron’s System 7SC is a seven input, dual
output, multi-format switcher with a built-in
video scaler and universal projector control.
The System 7SC features system control
along with RGB and video integration
capabilities ideal for rental, staging, and
permanent installations using plasma displays
as well as CRT, LCD, and DLP projectors. This
system switcher provides video scaling, which
uses Extron’s advanced up-conversion
technologies with DMI (Dynamic Motion
Interpolation) to match the rates and
resolutions of video inputs, including any
interlaced or progressive YUV signal, to the
higher native resolution of today’s fixed
matrix displays. For scaled outputs, the
System 7SC offers twelve industry standard
computer-video, plasma, and HDTV output
rates. RGB source signals are passed through.
The System 7SC offers quad-standard
video decoding compatibility (NTSC 3.58,
System 7SC
Configurable Video and Computer
Video Swicher with Built-In Scaler
NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM) utilizing a
digital, four-line adaptive comb filter. Six of
the inputs are configurable for composite
video, S-video, component video, or RGB.
Conveniently located on the front panel, the
seventh input accepts composite video,
S-video, or computer-video. Output is
simultaneously available on a 15-pin HD
connector and five BNCs. For
balanced/unbalanced stereo audio, the
System 7SC offers audio attenuation/gain
adjustments for each input.
Projector control is offered via
downloadable RS-232 or IR drivers. The
System 7SC also provides user-friendly IR
learning capabilities and allows for user-
defined RS-232 commands, making it
compatible with almost any display device.
Room lighting, screen settings, and other
device functions may be controlled through
the System 7SC’s room function, via internal
relays.
Extron’s SGS 408 is an eight input, high-
resolution RGB video matrix switcher that
provides seamless cuts, dissolves, wipes, and
titles as well as scaling capabilities to bring
professional results to live multimedia events
and presentations. Any large staging, rental,
or permanent application benefits from the
SGS 408’s switching and transition effect
capabilities. The SGS 408 incorporates two
high-performance video scalers as well as a
digital video mixer. Seamless cuts and twelve,
digital, presentation-quality “dissolve,”
“wipe,” and “title” effects are provided for
switches between multiple sources to a
common projector.
The SGS 408 accepts both interlaced and
non-interlaced RGB video formats with
resolutions from 560 x 384 up to 1600 x 1200
with scan rates of 15 kHz up to 100 kHz.
Advanced high performance digital video
scaling technologies enable the SGS 408 to
scale any input to one of eighteen common
computer-video, HDTV, or plasma
resolutions. Two different scaled output
signals are provided—one for operator

preview and one for the program being
viewed by the audience. Each is available
simultaneously on five BNCs and a 15-pin HD
connector. The “program” output is also
available on an optional Digital Visual
Interface (DVI) connector.
For control, the SGS 408 offers front panel
buttons, RS-232 control, optional RCP 1000
remote control panel, and optional
ECP 1000 event control panel. The
RCP 1000 controls one SGS 408, while the
ECP 1000 controls up to three SGS 408s,
allowing for simultaneous cuts, dissolves,
and wipes that are timed and synchronized
on multiple screens.
