Extron has released the ISS 608, an eight-input seamless switcher for the dynamic presentation and scaling of DisplayPort and HDMI content at resolutions up to 4K/60 @ 4:4:4 at a maximum data rate of 18Gbps.

For streamlined integration, the switcher provides audio management and multiple control options, including an intuitive front panel, RS-232 and Ethernet.

A matrix mode adds automatic, seamless transitions to any matrix switcher with HDMI outputs. The features and capabilities of the ISS 608 give end users a true seamless switching solution for high-end presentation environments and live events.

“Increasingly, digital presentation applications require advanced capabilities, such as high-performance image scaling, logo and title overlays and sophisticated switching effects,” Extron vice president of worldwide sales and marketing Casey Hall says.

“This switcher provides all of these, plus DisplayPort and HDMI inputs with program and preview outputs, making the ISS 608 perfect for environments that require enhanced switching capabilities.”

It features six HDMI 2.0 and two DisplayPort 1.2 inputs that support signals up to 4096×2160 at 60Hz with 4:4:4 color sampling. A HDCP 2.3 compliance and Extron technologies such as Key Minder ensure the latest device is compatible with high value, encrypted 4K content.
