HDMI (with CEC) output connector (output 1A) — Connect an HDMI or DVI (with
E
an appropriate adapter) output device to this HDMI output connector for HDMI video with embedded audio (see figure3 and figures 4 through 6). This connector and the DTP2/XTP/HDBT output connector are mirrored, meaning that they display the same image.
TIP: Use Extron HDMI LockIt Lacing Brackets to secure HDMI cables to the device
(see HDMI Connections on page21).
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) — CEC control commands control basic control functions such as power on and off, input switching, volume, and mute. The IN1806 and IN1808 Series can issue CEC commands to a display device through the HDMI and DTP2 ports.
IN1806 and IN1808 Series Scaling Presentation Switchers • Installation 14
DTP2/XTP/HDBT output connector (output 1B) — This connector and the HDMI
F
output connector (1A) are mirrored, meaning that they display the same image (see
figure3 on page12 and figures 4 through 6 on page 13).
Connect a DTP or DTP2 receiver, an XTP matrix switcher, or an
HDBaseT-compatible receiver to this RJ-45 twisted pair Out connector. For cable wiring and recommendations, see Twisted Pair Recommendations for DTP and
HDBaseT Communication on page22.
This output also allows for remote powering of DTP and DTP2 receivers, as well
as over-DTP analog audio which matches the 5-pole analog audio output of the receiver.
To transmit or receive infrared data to and from a sink connected to
the DTP/DTP2/HDBaseT receiver or XTP matrix, connect a control device to the 3-pole IR Over TP captive screw port (see G,
Over TP IR pass-through connector on page15).
The output 1B connector corresponds to the following front panel LEDs (see the illustration at right):
Signal LED — Lights when the scaler is sending a signal.
Link LED — Lights when a valid link is established.
ATTENTION:
Do not connect this connector to a computer or telecommunications network.
Ne connectez pas ce port à des données informatiques ou à un réseau de
télécommunications.

NOTES:
RS-232 communication can also be sent to the far end of the twisted pair
connection, but it must be done through RS-232 insertion via Ethernet. A control signal applied to an IN1806 or IN1808 Series LAN or AV LAN port can be routed to the RS-232 port of any connected twisted pair device (see
figure30 on page49).
Switcher parameters can be controlled via SIS commands inserted over DTP
input or output connections.
Analog audio line input connectors 3 and 4 — Connect line level analog audio

sources to audio input connectors 3 and 4 on the 5-pole captive screw connector for balanced or unbalanced stereo audio (see figure3 and figures 4 through 6). Connectors are included with the unit, but the audio cable is not (see figure10 on page20 for wiring).
Analog audio Mic/Line input connectors 1 and 2 — Connect balanced or
I
unbalanced mic or line level inputs to these 3-pole Mic/Line captive screw connectors These inputs support optional +48 VDC phantom power, which is indicated by the LEDs at the left of the connectors.
Analog audio line output connectors 1 through 4 — Connect balanced or
J
unbalanced analog audio output devices to one or both 5-pole captive screw audio output connector pairs 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 (see Analog Audio Connections on page19).
ATTENTION:
For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. Do not
connect them to negative (–) contacts.
Pour l’audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au sol. Ne
PAS connecter les manchons aux contacts négatifs (–).
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.

the AV subnetwork separate from the corporate network for security purposes and to reduce traffic on the corporate or outside network.
To connect the IPCP to an Ethernet network (for configuration and control of the IPCP module and the devices connected to it), connect an internet cable between any of these RJ-45 sockets and a network switch, hub, router, or PC connected to a local network or the Internet.
AV LAN ports 1 - 3 use a separate network interface card (NIC) from that of the LAN port.
IN1806 and IN1808 Series Scaling Presentation Switchers • Installation 18
NOTE: A dedicated AV LAN safeguards AV systems from outside intrusion or
interference by separating device control and other network traffic from a corporate or campus network. To ensure the control processor LAN and AV LAN connections (ports) are connected to separate networks, the LAN and AV LAN IP address schemes must be on different subnetworks.
LAN port — Single Ethernet connector. The IN1806 and the IN1808 base model

ATTENTION:
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. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). 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 wires are not as secure in the captive screw terminals
<connector> and could pull out.
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.
For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. Do not connect
them to negative (–) contacts (see the Extron Audio Wiring Card).

Cable recommendations
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances and reduce transmission errors.
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
XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool
XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10
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.
NOTE: When using shielded twisted pair cable in bundles or conduits, consider the
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.

IN1806 and IN1808 Series Scaling Presentation Switchers • Operation 45

Input Presets

The IN1806 and IN1808 Series scalers have 128 memory slots in which you can save input presets. These presets are global to all inputs that contain the settings for use with a matrix switcher. A matrix switcher with multiple types of video inputs (such as an XTP matrix switcher) can be placed upstream from the IN1806 and IN1808 Series to expand the number of video sources.
Input presets can be saved and recalled only through SIS commands (see the Presets
commands on page74) and PCS (see the IN1806 and IN1808 Series PCS Help File).
When you recall an input preset, the unit fills the output raster based on the sizing and
positioning that it had at the time the preset 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 Horizontal image position
Film mode detection Vertical image position
Contrast Horizontal image size (width)
Brightness Vertical image size (height)
Detail
Saving a preset when using a matrix switcher
When using the IN1806 or IN1808 with a matrix switcher, do the following to save a preset:
1. Switch each input of the matrix to the IN1806 or IN1808.
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 IN1806 or IN1808 Series input.

Power Save Modes

The IN1806 and IN1808 Series can be placed into a standby (low power) mode via SIS commands (see the Power Save commands on page70) in order to conserve power. To restore the unit to full power mode, enter the appropriate SIS command, press any front panel button, switch inputs via SIS command, or cycle power to the unit. The following power save modes are supported:
Mode 0 — Full power mode
Mode 1 — All non-essential hardware is shut down.
Mode 2 — All non-essential hardware is shut down, but over-TP functionality and
remote power remain enabled.

mask is 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. The two methods of signal insertion are:
Ethernet to RS-232 insertion (see “Ethernet to RS-232 Insertion”) — A control signal
applied to the IN1806 and IN1808 Series 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.
Over TP Serial Device Control — A control signal from a remote twisted pair endpoint can be used to directly execute SIS commands on the IN1806 or IN1808 series. This allows a control system to insert RS-232 control at a remote DTP or XTP endpoint to directly control the switcher via SIS commands (see figure31 on page50).
Captive screw IR insertion (see Captive Screw Signal Insertion on page51) —
(IR only) A control signal applied to the IR Over TP captive screw port is tied directly to TP Output 1B.
You must physically connect a cable to the captive screw connector where a control signal is to be inserted.

Ethernet to RS-232 Insertion

IN
Figure 30 is an example of an Ethernet to RS-232 insertion, in which an Extron controller provides control of an HD camera via the IN1806 and IN1808 Series 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 scaler 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 universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (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 Ports Insertion Port Output Port Insertion Port
7 2001 1B 2003 8 2002
IN1806 and IN1808 Series Scaling Presentation Switchers • Operation 49
Changing the starting point
IN1808 (Base Model)
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 IN1806 and IN1808 Series PCS Help file)
Using SIS commands (see the Set UART start point SIS command on page 82).
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 PCS (see the IN1806 and IN1808 Series PCS Help file).
Using SIS commands (see the Serial Port Configuration SIS commands on page 82).
Over TP RS-232 device control
An external IPCP controller connected via Ethernet to a matrix switcher such as an XTP can be connected via twisted pair to input 7, input 8, or output 1B of an IN1808 Series switcher. The IPCP control system can then directly control the IN1808 via SIS over the CATx cable (see the example in figure31).

SIS Configuration and Control

The IN1806 and IN1808 Series scalers 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 Scaler Communication
SIS Overview
Command and Response Tables for SIS Commands

Host and Scaler 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 scaler determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the scaler 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).

Password Messages

If the IN1806 or IN1808 is protected by a password, the following password message prompts you for the password to access the scaler 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 IN1806 or IN1808, a label is attached
containing the following:
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 (entering a ZQQQ SIS command or a
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 Password commands on page86).
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.

Error Responses

Space
When the scaler receives a valid command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the unit is unable to execute the command, it returns an error response to the host.
— Invalid input number E17 — Invalid command for signal type
E01 E10 — Invalid command E22 — Busy E11 — Invalid preset number E24 — Privilege violation E12 — Invalid port number E25 — Device not present E13 — Invalid value E28 — Bad filename or File not found E14 — Not valid for this configuration E33 — Bad file type for logo

Disabling Telnet

If it becomes necessary to disable Telnet communication in order to require the Secure Shell (SSH) secure communication protocol to transmit SIS commands, remap the Telnet port as described below. (The ] symbol shown here represents a carriage return with a line feed, in other words, pressing the <Enter> key.)
1. Use an SSH client (such as PuTTY) to connect to the scaler using SSH over port
22023, or
Use a Telnet client (such as Extron DataViewer or PuTTY) to connect to the scaler over port 23.

NOTES:
In verbose response mode, the IN1806 or
IN1808 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 IN1806 or IN1808 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:

DTP Remote Power Parameters
ATTENTION:
Ensure that the correct remote DTP power setting is used. Sending DTP2 power to a DTP (series 1) endpoint can
result in hardware damage. Enable DTP2 power only to a compatible DTP2 endpoint.
Assurez-vous de bien régler l’alimentation DTP à distance. L’envoi d’une alimentation DTP2 à un point de connexion
DTP (ancienne gamme) peut provoquer des dommages matériels. Assurez une alimentation DTP2 uniquement vers un point de connexion DTP2 compatible
NOTE: The remote power state for HDBT and XTP modes is forced to Off (0). Attempts to change the power setting while
the unit is not in DTP mode result in an E14 (Not valid for current configuration) error message.

Audio DSP SIS Commands

DSP SIS command structure
Several digital signal processor (DSP) functions can be configured using SIS commands. Commands entered via PCS are also displayed on the host communication utility screen that is being used for SIS commands (for example, Extron DataViewer).
DSP control commands are a subset of the SIS commands with a specific structure.
For a Set command, the form of the command string is:
E
<parameter ID><OID>*<value>AU
where:
<OID> (Object ID) is a six-digit integer identifying the processor (see the Object
Identification number (OID) table on page 88).
<Parameter ID> is a letter identifying the parameter.
<Value> is a number indicating the level being set for the parameter.
For a View (Get) command, the value parameter can be eliminated, so that the
command structure for viewing a single parameter is:
E
<parameter ID><OID>AU
The unit response to these commands begins with Ds. The response format is:
Ds<Parameter ID><OID>*<value>
