Analog audio output connector — Connect a balanced or unbalanced audio

output device to this 5-pole captive screw Audio Out connector (see Analog Audio

Connections on page 16).

ATTENTION:

• For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. Do not

connect them to negative (–) contacts (see the Extron Audio Wiring Card).

• Pour l’audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au sol. Ne

PAS connecter les manchons aux contacts négatifs (–) (voir le Audio Wiring Card d’Extron).

• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal

length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If the exposed portion is longer, the wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If the exposed wires are shorter, they can be easily pulled out, even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend

de les dénuder. S’ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court circuit. S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par les vis captives.

• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become

loose over time.

• Ne pas étamer les câbles. Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien ﬁxés

dans les terminaisons des connecteurs à vis captives et pourraient sortir.

Analog audio input connector — Connect a balanced or unbalanced audio source to

this 5-pole captive screw Audio In connector to embed analog audio in the HDMI output signal. Input gain range is -18 dB to +24 dB. The default is 0 dB (see Analog Audio

Connections).

+V connector — The +V pin constantly outputs +5 VDC power with 200 mA total

(shared between pins). Use this pin when power is needed for external Tally LEDs, such as those on the Extron CCB 30 contact closure remote.

Ground pin for Contact/Tally ports (see “Q Contact/Tally ports,” below)

Contact/Tally ports — (Optional) Wire contact closure and tally devices or Show Me

cables to these seven 2-pole captive screw connectors as desired. Each port contains two pins, labeled C and T.

• Ports 1 through 4 (for input switching) — Each Contact/Tally connector is labeled

with the number of the video input associated with it. Wire a push-button switch or other contact closure device to pin C (contact) and pin G (ground) of the 2-pole connector (P). These ports can also be used for AV mute and sync mute.

Alternatively, wire an SM cable to the C and T pins (see Connecting using an SM

Cable on page 20 for connection instructions).

• Ports 5 through 7 (configurable via PCS) — Wire a switch to contact port pin C

pin to initiate a command on the IN1804 (for example, video or audio mute), or to issue a CEC command to connected display devices.

HDMI Connections

Use an Extron LockIt cable lacing bracket to secure HDMI cables to the device.

NOTE: The HDMI device must have an HDMI connection mounting screw for this

bracket to be used.

To securely fasten an HDMI cable to a device:

Figure 12. Mounting a LockIt Cable Lacing Bracket

1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection (see figure 12, 1).

2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the

LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it (2). The screw does not have to be removed.

3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector, then tighten

the screw to secure the bracket (3).

4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing

bracket as shown.

5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or a similar

tool to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length (4).

ATTENTION:

• Do not overtighten the HDMI connection mounting screw. The shield to which

it is fastened is very thin and can easily be stripped.

• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel

elle est attachée est très ﬁn et peut facilement être dénudé.

Supported cables

The switchers are compatible with shielded twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP, and S/FTP) cable.

ATTENTION:

• Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201

cable to link the device with DTP transmitters or receivers.

• N’utilisez pas le câble AV Skew-FreeUTP version améliorée UTP23SF d’Extron ou

le câble STP201 pour relier le appareil avec les émetteurs ou les récepteurs DTP.

Cable recommendations

Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances and reduce transmission errors when connecting to a remote DTP2 endpoint, XTP matrix switcher, or HDBaseT receiver:

• Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and connectors for the best

performance:

• XTP DTP 24/1000 Non-Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool 22-236-03

• XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool 22-235-03

• XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10 101-005-02

• If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, at a minimum, Extron recommends 24 AWG, solid

conductor, STP cable with a minimum bandwidth of 400 MHz.

• Terminate cables with shielded connectors to the TIA/EIA-T568B standard.

• Limit the use of more than two pass-through points, which may include patch points,

punch down connectors, couplers, and power injectors. If these pass-through points are required, use shielded couplers and punch down connectors.

IN1804 Seamless Scaling Switchers • Installation 18

NOTE: When using shielded twisted pair cable in bundles or conduits, consider the

111

444333

222

following:

• Do not exceed 40% ﬁll capacity in conduits.

• Do not comb the cable for the ﬁrst 20 meters, where cables are straightened,

aligned, and secured in tight bundles.

• Loosely place cables and limit the use of tie wraps or hook-and-loop fasteners.

• Separate twisted pair cables from AC power cables.

Wiring the Contact/Tally Connectors

The CONTACT/TALLY portion of the rear panel on all models contains seven sets of contact and tally captive screw connectors (numbered 1 through 7), each with two pins labeled C and T, for contact closure and tally indicator devices. The CONTACT/TALLY panel also contains a 2-pole captive screw connector with a G (ground) pin and a +V pin that provides +5 VDC power to the indicator devices connected to the tally (T) ports.

These ports can be used for triggering and feedback associated with the selected input, for contact-based input switching, and for other triggered functions such as CEC display control or video mute. Contact/Tally ports are typically used with Extron Show Me (SM) cables or with external equipment (such as the Extron CCB 30) to control IN1804 functions, depending on which Contact/Tally port is used.

/TALLY

CONTACT

Figure 14. Contact/Tally Panel

• Contact/Tally ports 1 through 4 — (See figure 14, 1) Each CONTACT/TALLY

connector is labeled with the number of the video input associated with it. Wire a push button or other contact closure switch to pin C (Contact) and to the shared pin G (ground, 3).

• If using a tally indicator, connect the indicator device to the shared +V pin (5 VDC,

required for tally devices without a power supply, 4) and the T (Tally) pin. In other words, the V+ pin of the switcher connects to the voltage in (anode) of

the indicator, and the T pin connects to the tally output (cathode) of the indicator device.

NOTE: If the indicator has an internal power supply, it is not necessary to

connect it to the V+ pin. It can be connected directly to the T pin of the Contact/Tally input connector.

• If using an SM cable, see Connecting Using an SM Cable on the next page.

• Ports 5 through 7 (configurable via PCS) — (2) Wire a push button or other

contact closure switch to pin C and to the shared pin G. If using a tally indicator, connect the indicator device to the shared +V pin and the T pin.

See the IN1804 Series Help File for instructions on configuring these ports using PCS.

Figure 15. SM Cable Connecting Contact and Tally Ports

For each SM cable:

• Connect the red (contact) pigtail to the C pin corresponding to the input being used.

• Connect the black (tally out) pigtail to the T pin.

NOTE: In an SM cable, the ground source needed to trigger the contact and the

voltage to drive the tally indicator are supplied by HDMI source device. Therefore, it is not necessary to connect the cable to a G (ground) pin.

NOTE: The IN1804 exits screen saver mode when the front panel Menu or Enter

button is pressed, a video test pattern is activated, or an active input is detected. If the unit is in front panel lock mode (see Front Panel Lockout (Executive

Modes) on page 41), pressing a front panel button exits time out but access to

any front panel controls or the menu system is disabled.

• INn: Aspect Ratio — Sets the aspect ratio for the selected input to Fill (fills the entire

output raster) or Follow (follows the native aspect ratio of the input).

• In fill mode, if you want to set an aspect ratio adjustment for a single input rate,

you can select the correct image size and position manually from the Picture Controls submenu (Image Size and Position) (see Picture Controls

Submenu on page 27).

• In follow mode, each input rate is displayed with its native aspect ratio (4:3, 5:4,

16:9, or 16:10) with the correct letter box or pillar box settings, visible under the Image Size and Image Position items on the Picture Controls submenu.

If you want a single input to fill the screen in follow mode, you can manually set the Image Position item on the Picture Controls submenu to 0,0 and set the Image Size to match the current output rate X, Y.

• INn: Auto Memory — Enables or disables Auto Memory. When Auto Memory is set to

On (default), the IN1804 stores the current input configuration and picture control values. The switcher stores 32 auto memories per input, with input configuration and picture

control data for each video resolution. The default setting enables these memories to automatically recall input and picture controls for previously applied signals. When auto memories are disabled, the switcher treats every applied signal as a new source.

Front Panel Lockout (Executive Modes)

The switchers have three modes of front panel security lock that limit the operation of the device from the front panel.

• Mode 0 — Unlocks front panel functions. This is the default setting.

• Mode 1 — Locks all front panel functions. Pressing the Menu button in this mode

causes the message Executive Mode 1 Enabled to appear on the display. This mode can be enabled or disabled by SIS commands (see the Front Panel Lock (Executive

Mode) commands on page 75) and via PCS (see the IN1804 Series PCS Help file). All

functions performed via USB, RS-232, or Ethernet remain available).

• Mode 2 — Locks all front panel functions except input switching. Pressing the Menu

button in this mode causes the message Executive Mode 2 Enabled to appear on the display. All functions performed via USB, RS-232, or Ethernet remain available.

To enable executive mode 2, press and hold the Menu and Enter buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. This mode can be enabled or disabled by SIS commands (see the Front Panel Lock (Executive Mode) commands) and via PCS (see the IN1804 Series PCS Help file).

IN1804 Seamless Scaling Switchers • Operation 41

Input Presets

The IN1804 Series switchers have 128 memory slots in which you can save input presets. These presets allow a matrix switcher with multiple types of video inputs (such as an XTP) to be placed upstream from the IN1804 to expand the number of video sources.

Input presets can be saved and recalled through SIS commands (see the Presets

commands on page 70) and through PCS (see the IN1804 Series PCS Help File).

• When you recall an input preset, it fills the output raster based on the sizing and

positioning that it had at the time it was saved. For example, a video source that was configured to be zoomed when it was previously saved as a preset is still zoomed, even if recalled to a smaller output raster.

• Input presets can be saved based on one input rate and recalled to a different rate. This

enables presets to be used as aspect ratio or other quick-sizing shortcuts. Because the size and position is saved as a percent of the raster, the preset can be recalled to any scaled output and the saved size and position are scaled proportionally on the output.

Values for the following settings are saved in input presets:

• Preset name • Detail

• Audio gain and attenuation • Horizontal image position

• Film mode detection • Vertical image position

• Contrast • Horizontal image size (width)

• Brightness • Vertical image size (height)

Reset Modes

Saving a preset when using a matrix switcher

When using the IN1804 with a matrix switcher, do the following to save a preset:

1. Switch each input of the matrix to the IN1804.

2. Configure each input: size, position, detail, brightness, and contrast.

3. Save the settings to a preset for recall by the control system when that matrix input is

routed to any IN1804 input.

The IN1804 series switchers have three reset modes (numbered 1, 4, and

5). Use a small screwdriver or stylus to press and hold the recessed Reset button on the rear panel (see 2 in the image at right) to advance through the modes. The Reset LED (1) blinks to indicate each mode that is enabled (see the Reset Mode Summary table on the next page for a description of the reset modes and how to select them).

You can also perform resets using the OSD (see Factory Reset on the Advanced submenu on page 40), SIS commands (see the Resets commands on page 77), and PCS (see the IN1804 Series PCS Help file).

ATTENTION:

• Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result in

unintended loss of ﬂash memory programming, port reassignment, or processor reboot.

• Étudier de près les différents modes de réinitialisation. Appliquer le mauvais mode

de réinitialisation peut causer une perte inattendue de la programmation de la mémoire ﬂash, une reconﬁguration des ports ou une réinitialisation du processeur.

RS-232 and IR Signal Insertion

The twisted pair input and output ports allow you to insert RS-232 and IR control signals onto the same cable that carries video and audio to extend them to the Over TP port on a connected endpoint (see figure 31 on the next page, figure 32 on page 46, and figure 33 on page 47). The control signals can be inserted in the following ways:

• Ethernet to RS-232 insertion (see Ethernet to RS-232 Insertion on the next

page) — A control signal applied to the IN1804 LAN port can be routed to the RS-232 port of any connected twisted pair device. The RS-232 insert inputs and outputs inserted via Ethernet can support up to a 115K baud rate.

• Captive screw insertion (see Captive Screw IR Signal Insertion on page 46) — (IR

only) A control signal applied to the IR Over TP captive screw port is tied directly to the TP IN4 (DI and DI/DO models only) or to the TP Output 1A (DO and DI/DO models only). You must physically connect a cable to the captive screw connector where a control signal is to be inserted.

IP settings revert to factory defaults.

• Port mapping reverts to factory default.

• DHCP turns off.

• IP address is set to 192.168.254.254.

• Reset LED blinks four times in quick

succession during reset.

The device reverts to the factory defaults except for firmware.

• Mode 4 results are performed.

• All user modifiable configurations are reset

to default values including IP settings and real-time adjustments.

• All user loaded files are deleted.

• The Reset LED blinks 4 times in quick

succession during the reset.

Use mode 4 to reset all IP settings back to factory defaults.

Use mode 5 to restart with default configuration. This is equivalent to SIS

command ZQQQ. This reset also removes

the initial serial number password and sets it to no password.

IN1804 Seamless Scaling Switchers • Operation 43

• Unidirectional RS-232 insertion via SIS commands (see Unidirectional RS-232

HD Camera

Insertion via SIS Commands on page 47) — A control signal can be inserted to

the RS-232 port of any connected twisted pair device via SIS commands sent to the IN1804. This method is unidirectional, meaning that the unit receives no response from the device via the TP port.

Ethernet to RS-232 Insertion

Figure 31 is an example of an Ethernet to RS-232 insertion, in which an Extron controller provides control of an HD camera via the IN1804 DI and a DTP HDMI 4K 230 transmitter.

Configure this type of insertion as follows:

1. Connect a TP cable from the control system to the LAN port, directly or via a network.

2. If necessary to match the device to be controlled, configure the port RS-232 protocol

(baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits) (see RS-232 protocol on the next page ).

Port number

For Ethernet to RS-232 insertion, the insertion port number must be stated from a specific UART start point. This number is entered as the Telnet port number when you establish communication with the insertion port.

For the purposes of this discussion, consider the Ethernet insertion ports as serial (RS-232) ports. The input insertion port number is the UART start point + 1. The output insertion port number is the UART start point + 3. With the default UART start point of 2000, the input and output insertion ports are:

Input Port Insertion Port Output Port Insertion Port

4 2001 1A 2003

Changing the starting point

By default the UART start point is 2000. You can change the starting port number by any of the following methods:

• Using the Product Configuration Software (see IN1804 Series PCS Help file)

• Using SIS commands (see the Set UART start point SIS command on page 77)

RS-232 protocol

You also may need to set the RS-232 protocol of the addressed port to match the connected device. You can do this using any of the following methods:

• Using the Product Configuration Software (see the IN1804 Series PCS Help file).

• Using SIS commands (see the Serial Port Configuration SIS commands on

page 77).

Entering SIS commands for RS-232 insertion

The following SIS command enables insertion of commands into an RS-232 data stream:

+snds

X5&

X3# }

X3#

= number of characters in the command

X5&

= TP port number

The unit sends the command when it detects that the specified number of characters (

X3#

)

have been entered. You can enter the SIS command through any means: Ethernet, USB, or an RS-232

connection. Any RS-232 command can be sent via this method. Typically, however, this command would be sent through an RS-232 connection to the Remote port on the IN1804.

In the following input selection example, 9 is the TP port and 13 is the number of characters in the command %1Bpoweron%0D (to select input 1):

SIS Configuration and Control

The IN1804 series switchers can be configured and controlled via Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands when connected to a host computer or other device (such as a control system). Attach the host device to the rear panel RS-232 connector or LAN connector, or to the front panel USB port. Commands can be entered using a Telnet application such as the Extron DataViewer, available at www.extron.com (see the DataViewer Help file for more details). The default protocol for the RS-232 connection is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. This section describes SIS communication and control. Topics in this section include:

• Host and Switcher Communication

• SIS Overview

• Command and Response Tables for IN1804 SIS Commands

Host and Switcher Communication

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the switcher determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the switcher to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more characters).

Copyright Information

The copyright message is displayed upon connecting to a switcher via TCP/IP or Telnet or after a power cycle via RS-232, and depends on the switcher model.

Password Messages

If the IN1804 is protected by a password, the following password message prompts you for the password to access the switcher features.

]

Password

The prompt requires a password, followed by a carriage return. The prompt is repeated if the correct password is not entered.

• For initial setup: On the rear panel of the IN1804, a label is attached containing the

following text:

Pursuant to California Senate Bill 327, the password for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial number. Passwords are case sensitive. See user guide for reset instructions.

This means that, for initial setup, you must enter the serial number of your unit at the password prompt (the serial number can be found on another label on the rear panel). This password allows administrator level access.

If the correct password is entered, access is granted and the command prompt is displayed. If the password is incorrect, the ]Password] prompt reappears.

NOTE: Performing a unit factory reset by entering a ZQQQ SIS command (see the

Absolute system reset SIS command on page 77) or a mode 5 reset via the rear panel Reset button (see page 43) removes the serial number password, leaving the unit with no password.

]

• After a password change: After the initial access, you can keep the serial number

password or change it. You can also set administrator and user level passwords (see the Passwords SIS commands on page 81).

When you enter the new password correctly, the unit responds with one of the following, depending on the password entered:

]

•

]

•

(If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.)

The Login Administrator response represents administrator level access, while the Login User response represents user level access. If the passwords are the same for both administrator and user, the unit defaults to administrator privileges.

If the unit is not password-protected, it is ready to accept SIS commands immediately after it sends the copyright message.

NOTES:

• In verbose response mode, the IN1804

returns unsolicited responses for value and setting changes that may result from a signal change, or a setting adjustment made via another interface.

Example: The IN1804 can send out a notice of a change in some setting without receiving a query via a PC or a control system. That change could have been a result of an internal process or a selection made via the PCS program. This is a verbose (wordy) relationship between the controller and a connected device.

• If tagged responses are enabled, all

“view” commands return the command string plus the data, the same as in responses for setting a value. For example:
