INTRODUCTION AND CONTENTS

The Innovation series from AMAV is a huge step forward in the interfacing and management of audio and visual sources. Integrating a host of smart, high end features in a compact package that offers the end user extremely simple control over their complex audio visual system. The Innovation series is as ground breaking as it is simple to operate.

The IN600 takes the Innovations series concept to the next level in terms of ﬂ exibility and complete system control. The IN600 features an on board mic/line mixer, 6 AV source inputs, and 6 balanced XLR outputs so it can be conﬁ gured as a 5.1 front end. The IN600 also features RS232 for projector control and logic output for screen up/down control. With the IN600 we give the AV integrator the ability to use the IN600 for full room AV control or it can be interfaced with third party control systems if desired. The IN600 offers untold ﬂ exibility for AV control in an extremely user friendly package.

WARNING!

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT USE THE PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR

OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

The lightning ﬂ ash with arrowhead symbol,

within an equilateral triangle, is intended

to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of

sufﬁ cient magnitude to constitute a risk

of electric shock to persons.

Rating plate and caution marking are marked on the back enclosure of the apparatus

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK

OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT

REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED

SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The exclamation point within an equilateral

triangle is intended to alert the user to

the presence of important operating and

maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

literature accompanying the appliance.

GAIN TRIM

This control is used to adjust the input gain and affects both the XLR and the RCA inputs. The input gain can be adjusted by +/- 15dB. This allows a wide rage of program sources to be set up with optimum gain structure. With the gain trim in the centre position, the boost/cut is set to 0dB.

LEVEL

Controls the level of the input signal.

SOURCE SELECT LEDS

The LED above the switch indicates when the AV source is being routed to the audio and video outputs. OFF indicates no source is routed to the outputs.

PROJECTOR POWER SWITCH

This switch is used to control a projector. Pushing this button will send data control commands out the PROJECTOR COMMS connector and trigger the screen relays.

8106 513 141 2

INPUT STATUS LEDS

Each input has an LED status indicator. The LED is green when there is signal present and red if the signal is approaching clip. If the LED begins to light red this would indicate the internal signal level is 6dB before clip. Note that the front panel level control is post status LED and as such, the status LED is NOT affected by the level control. If an input channel is clipping use the gain control to adjust the correct amount of input level.

INPUT SELECTED LEDS

Each input can be switched on or off seperately via PC or RS485. This LED indicates when the when the channel is selected.

AV SOURCE MASTER

This pot controls the level of the selected AV source.

MIC/LINE MASTER

This pot controls the overall mixed level of the Mic/Line sources.

MASTER VOLUME LEDS

These LED’s indicate the position of the volume control. They do not indicate the strength of the signal.

PROJECTOR POWER LED

This LED indiactes the state of the projecter.

Projector Power LED state

1. LED ﬂ ashing means the projector has sent a command and assumes the projector is now warming up or cooling down. If the button is pushed again while the LED is ﬂ ashing nothing happens.

2. LED on means the projector has been sent an ON command and the necessary warmup period has elapsed.

3. LED off means the projector has been sent an OFF command and the necessary cool down period has elapsed.

Projector communication is only one way so the actual state of this projector may not match the state of the LED. If this happens, set the projector to off and then switch of the IN600. Switch the IN600 on and now both projector and LED should be off.

POWER ON LED

The AMAV logo will be illuminated when the unit is on.

USB Socket

This is a Type B USB connector used to connect the I600 to a PC.

SOURCE SELECT SWITCHES

These switches select the input that is routed to the audio and video outputs. OFF will not route any source to the output.

CHANNEL INPUTS

Each channel has two inputs: XLR input - This is a balanced input. It accepts mic or line level signals depending on the adjacent gain switch position. The XLR will also have +15V phantom power if selected on the adjacent switch. RCA input - This is an unbalanced line level input. The two RCA sockets are summed to mono internally.

P/P (PHANTOM POWER)

15V phantom power is available for condenser or electret microphones on the XLR input when this switch is in the ‘ON’ position.

MIC / LINE

These two switches control the sensitivity of the XLR input. In the ‘MIC’ position the XLR input is suitable for use with microphones; in the ‘LINE’ position the XLR input is suitable for use with a balanced line level signal.

Note: Both MIC/LINE switches must be in the same position for

correct operation of the balanced input.

Note: The MIC/LINE switches only affect the XLR input.

5.1 OUTPUTS

The 5.1 OUTPUT XLRs provide balanced line level signal.

wired as hot and Pin1 should be wired as ground/shield. Do not wire Pin3.

These are the RCA unbalanced line level audio inputs for the DVD1 and DVD2 sources.

These are the RCA unbalanced line level audio inputs for the AUX1/AUX2/PC1/PC2 sources.

These DIP switches allow the STEREO INPUTS to be routed to the CENTRE output and or the SUB output as well as still going to the LEFT and RIGHT outputs. The LEFT and RIGHT outputs are summed together for the CENTRE and SUB outputs. The down position means the audio is routed, the default setting is off (UP).

These DIP switches allow the MIC/LINE INPUTS to be routed to the CENTRE (C) output, LEFT output (L) and RIGHT output (R) or not. The down postion means the audio is routed. Up position means the audio is not routed to any output. The default setting is on (down).

Note: When wiring the XLR output as unbalanced, Pin2 should be

VIDEO INPUT

These are RCA unbalanced 75ohm composite video inputs for the DVD1/DVD2/ AUX1/AUX2 sources.

VIDEO OUTPUT

These are the RCA unbalanced 75ohm composite video outputs. OUT1 and OUT2 output the same signal but they are individually buffered. These outputs only output the signal from DVD1/DVD2/AUX1/AUX2 sources if selected.

VGA INPUT

These are high densisty 15pin D connector VGA inputs for the DVD1/DVD2/PC1/ PC2 sources.

VGA OUTPUT

This is the high densisty 15pin D connector VGA output. This output only outputs the signal from DVD1/DVD2/PC1/PC2 sources if selected.

DVD SOURCES

These DIP switches are used to set the DVD source type. Selecting COMP means the DVD video signal is coming in on the composite VIDEO connector and is swithced to the composite VIDEO output. Selecting VGA means the DVD video signal is coming in on the VGA connector and is switched to the VGA output. This is needed to make sure the correct data codes are sent on the RS485 and PROJECTOR COMMS.

RS485

This 3.81mm pluggable connector socket is provided for external control of the IN600 using RS485 or for connecting an Australian Monitor control panel.

SCREEN

This 3.81mm pluggable connector output is used to trigger projector screen controls. These are voltage free contacts that short to COM when activated. They are activated by the powering of the projector. When the projector is switched on the screen down contacts are activated. When the projector is switched off the screen up contacts are activated. The relays stay closed for the period set in the conﬁ guration software.

PROJECTOR COMMS

This 9 pin D-connector is for sending data to a projector.

IEC MAINS INPUT SOCKET

This is a standard IEC 3 pin socket (IEC320-C14). It accepts a standard IEC mains cable, provided. The fuse draw contains the mains fuse and a spare. The mains fuse is a time lag (slow blow) HRC 20mm x 5mm fuse. The ratings are:

230V/240V model 200mA 120V model 500mA

Always replace the fuse with one of the same value and type.

Note: Always disconnect power to the ampliﬁ er before replacing fuses.
