To optimize image quality as well as maintain maximum image brightness and detail, video inputs are scaled to match the native resolution of the digital display being used. To scale any video input, the System 7SC uses Extron's proprietary up-conversion technologies with Dynamic Motion Interpolation (DMI™) technology and advanced film mode processing. RGB inputs are passed through.

The System 7SC provides Extron's patented Accu-RATE Frame Lock (AFL™) technology, which solves frame rate conversion issues experienced by video scalers. The System 7SC incorporates advanced film mode processing with 3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC and 2:2 film detection for PAL to help maximize image detail and sharpness for sources that originated from film.

The System 7SC includes two methods of projector control: RS-232 or IR. There are also two methods of configuring the switcher for projector control. The first method consists of downloading pre-configured control drivers from the Extron Web site via the supplied control software. The second method is IR learning which is available for more customized configuration. The installer can customize the System 7SC by using IR learning or entering custom, unidirectional, RS-232 commands.

System switcher control is provided via front panel operation, the included IR 701 remote control, RS-232 control, or the optional SCP 200 or SCP 250 hardwired control pads. The front panel buttons control video and audio input selection, picture adjustments, display functions, and internal relays for room controls, such as lowering or raising a screen. The IR 701, SCP 200, and SCP 250 duplicate most or all of the front panel functions. All functions are available through RS-232.
