The Extron IN1606 Scaling Presentation Switcher is a six input, HDCP-compliant video scaler that accepts a wide variety of audio and video
formats. This guide allows an experienced user to set up and congure the IN1606. It covers how to perform basic operations using the front panel
controls and selected Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands.
NOTE:For full installation, configuration, menus, connector wiring, and operation details, see the IN1606 and IN1608 Series User Guide, at

Mounting and Cabling
Step 1 — Mounting
a. Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources.
b. Mount the IN1606 to a rack using the pre-installed rack ears (see gure 2) or remove the
rack ears and use an optional mounting kit for under-the-desk mounting (see gure 3).
Step 2 — Connecting inputs
a. Connect analog video sources to the 15-pin HD connectors (see b above).
b. Connect digital HDMI or DVI (with an appropriate adapter) sources to the HDMI
connectors (see c above).
c. Connect audio input sources to the 5-pole captive screw connectors (see d above).
d. Connect Mic/Line input sources to the 3-pole captive screw connectors (see e above).
Step 3 — Connecting outputs
a. Connect suitable video displays to the HDMI connectors (see f above).
b. Connect audio output devices to the 5-pole captive screw connectors (see g above).
ATTENTION: For unbalanced outputs, do not connect wires to the “-” poles
(see the IN1606 and IN1608 Series User Guide for wiring details).

(see
255.255.0.0.
b. For serial RS-232 control, connect a host device to the 3-pole captive screw connector
i above). The default baud rate is 9600.
(see
c. For control through USB, connect a host device to the front panel mini USB B port.
(see
a on page 2).
Step 5 — Connecting power

Input Signal LEDs — Light for the corresponding input when active video content is detected on that input.
Output Signal LEDs — Remain lit green when active video is being output, or blink amber when output video and sync are disabled.
Input HDCP LEDs — Light for each input signal that is HDCP-encrypted. Analog inputs 1 and 2 cannot be HDCP-encrypted.
Output HDCP LEDs — Light for an output when it is currently HDCP-encrypted.
Menu and Enter buttons — Press these buttons to access and navigate the on-screen display (OSD) menu system.Navigation buttons — Press these buttons to navigate through the on-screen display menu system or change selected settings.Volume knob and LED indicators — Rotate the Volume knob to adjust the variable analog audio output (default), mic, or program volume
(see the IN1606 and IN1608 Series User Guide to congure the knob through group masters). The eight Volume LED indicators light in order
according to the audio volume level. The bottom LED blinks when the volume is muted. They light in order from bottom to top to indicate a
12.5% increase or decrease in volume (12.5 dB) from 1% (-99 dB) to 99% (-1 dB). The top LED blinks when the volume is 100% (0 dB).
Setting Front Panel Lockout Modes (Executive Modes)
The IN1606 has two modes of front panel security lock that limit the operation of the device from the front panel.
•Executive mode 0 — The front panel is fully unlocked. This is the default setting.
•Executive mode 1 — The front panel is completely locked. This can only be enabled or disabled using SIS commands or the internal
web pages (see the IN1606 and IN1608 Series User Guide for web page details or the rear page of this guide for the SIS command).
•Executive mode 2 — The front panel is locked except for input switching and volume control. Press and hold the Menu and Enter
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to enable or disable this mode.
Conguring the IN1606
The IN1606 can be congured through front panel controls and the OSD menu, the internal web pages, the Extron Product Conguration Software,
or SIS commands. To access the internal web pages or send SIS commands, connect a host device to the IN1606 via RS-232, USB, or Ethernet
connection (the internal web pages can only be accessed through an Ethernet connection).
On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu System
The IN1606 has an OSD menu consisting of nine submenus that can be accessed using the
front panel Menu or Enter button. View the menu on a display connected to either HDMI output
connector (see f on page 1). The submenus are:
1. Press the Menu or Enter button to access the main menu.
2. Press the Up or Down arrow button to navigate to the desired submenu.
3. Press the Enter or Right arrow button to access submenu items for the selected submenu.
4. Press the Up or Down arrow button to navigate submenu items.
5. Press the Enter or Right arrow button to adjust a submenu item.
Using the OSD menu to congure the IN1606

start values, set the number of active horizontal pixels and vertical lines, set the total pixels and phase, set HDCP authorization, and set the
2
EDID for the current input.
•Use the Output submenu to set output resolution, HDMI output format for each output, and HDCP notication.
•Use the Audio submenu to mute audio, set the audio
input format for the selected input, set analog audio gain,
set mic/line gain and phantom power, adjust mic/line and
program volume, and set audio output format.
•Use the Advanced submenu to select a test pattern,
set the screen saver, turn on or off Auto-Image, set
the aspect ratio and auto memory settings, adjust
the overscan settings, and reset the device to factory
defaults.

Internal Web Pages
The IN1606 can be congured, controlled, and operated
through the Ethernet port when connected to a LAN or WAN,
using a web browser. The browser displays the
factory-installed web pages, which provide a means of
conguring and operating the device. Enter the IP address
of the unit in the browser Address eld to access the web
pages (see the IN1606 and IN1608 Series User Guide for more
details). The default IP address is 192.168.254.254. The default
subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.
Product Conguration Software
To congure the IN1606 using the Product Conguration
Software, install the software (available on the Extron website,
www.extron.com) to a PC connected to the IN1606 via
Ethernet, RS-232, or front panel USB Cong port. After the
installation, start the program. For full instructions, press <F1>
or click the ? button and select Help File.
Firmware Upgrades
The onboard rmware of the IN1606 can be upgraded via the internal web pages or the Extron Firmware Loader program (available on the Extron
website, www.extron.com).
Output Rates
Output rates can be set using the OSD menu, the internal web pages, PCS, or SIS commands. The table below displays the most commonly used
resolutions and refresh rates and the corresponding SIS values. The command to set the output rate is EX5$ RATE}, where X5$ is the SIS value
for the resolution and refresh rate combination as given in the example table below (see the IN1606 and IN1608 Series User Guide for the full list).
for EDID or Output Resolution and Refresh Rate Combination (Where X5$ = 10 through 92)
Basic SIS Command Table
The IN1606 can be congured with specic SIS commands via an RS-232, USB, or Ethernet connection. Use the Extron DataViewer utility or a
control system to send and receive SIS commands. The table on the next page lists a selection of SIS commands. For a full list of SIS commands
and variables, see the IN1606 and IN1608 Series User Guide, at www.extron.com.
