Introduction
This guide contains information about the Extron IN1606, IN1608, IN1608 SA, and
IN1608 MA Scaling Presentation Switchers with instructions for experienced installers on
how to install, configure, and operate the equipment. Topics in this section include:
• IN1606 and IN1608 Series Description
• Licensed Third-Party Software Used in the Scalers
• Key Features
• Controlling the Scalers
In this guide, the terms “IN1606,” “IN1608,” “IN1608 SA,” and “IN1608 MA” refer to their
respective IN1606 or IN1608 Scaler Presentation Switcher model. The term “scaler” is used
interchangeably to refer to all IN1606 and IN1608 models and the term “IN1608 Series”
refers to all IN1608, IN1608 SA, and IN1608 MA models.
IN1606 and IN1608 Series Description
The Extron IN1606 is a six input, HDCP-compliant video scaler in a 1U, full rack width
enclosure. The IN1608 series includes the IN1608, IN1608 SA, and IN1608 MA. They are
eight input, HDCP-compliant video scalers in 1U or 2U full rack width enclosures.
The scalers include four HDMI inputs, two configurable analog video inputs, and two
simultaneous HDMI outputs. The IN1608 models also include two DTP 230 inputs and one
DTP 230 output with corresponding RS-232 and IR pass-through ports. The IN1608 SA
and IN1608 MA include a stereo or mono amplifier output.
The IN1606 and IN1608 Series accept a wide variety of video formats including HDMI,
HDTV, RGB, and standard definition video. They feature an advanced video scaling engine
with 1080i deinterlacing and seamless switching to deliver uncompromised picture quality
for up to 1920x1200, including 1080p and 2K output resolutions. Automatic 3:2 and
2:2 pulldown detection maximizes the image detail and sharpness for content sources
originating from film. The scalers also use a digital 3D adaptive comb filter that optimizes
decoding of NTSC, PAL, and SECAM sources for integration into systems worldwide.
Enhanced audio features include analog stereo inputs, fixed and variable stereo outputs,
two mic/line inputs with ducking and phantom power, and HDMI audio embedding and
de-embedding. Designed for professional AV integration, the scalers offer flexible control
options including Ethernet, RS-232, and USB. They provide two simultaneous HDMI
outputs so that two displays can be driven simultaneously without the need for additional
equipment.
To accommodate a variety of sources, the scalers feature four HDMI inputs plus two
universal analog video inputs that can process RGB computer video, HDTV, component
video, S-video, and composite video. They provide the capability to integrate digital and
analog devices, with HDCP-compliance to enable integration of Blu-ray Disc players and
cable or satellite HD receivers.
To enhance and simplify integration of HDMI sources and displays, the scalers feature
two exclusive Extron technologies: EDID Minder and Key Minder. EDID Minder manages
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) communication between the display devices
and input sources. For HDMI signals with protected content, Key Minder authenticates and
maintains continuous HDCP-encryption between input and output devices. The scalers also
feature SpeedSwitch technology that delivers exceptional switching speed for
HDCP-encrypted content.

internal Web pages. Using the internal Web pages, users can easily adjust audio input and
output gain, attenuation, mixing, and ducking parameters.
The two DTP 230 twisted pair inputs and output on the IN1608 models receive and transmit
signals from remote DTP 230 transmitters and a receiver. The DTP 230 twisted pair inputs
and output include additional convenient, integrator-friendly features designed to help
simplify installation. Bidirectional RS-232 and IR signals can be inserted from a control
system and transmitted over the single CATx cable together with the video and audio,
enabling control of a source or display. Additionally, IN1608 models can send power to each
of the DTP 230 transmitters and receiver over the same CATx cable, streamlining system
design and installation.
The scalers feature front panel controls with an on-screen display (OSD) menu system for
quick access to functions. Remote configuration and control are available via USB,
RS-232, and Ethernet. Housed in 1U or 2U full rack width metal enclosures, the scalers can
easily be integrated into many environments. They are ideal in boardrooms where superior
performance is essential and in instructional environments for complete integration of digital
and analog AV sources and displays.

ATTENTION: Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or
STP201 cable to link the scaler with DTP transmitters or receivers.
Cable recommendations
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up
to 230 feet (70 meters) 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 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 CAT 6 or 6a shielded couplers and punch down connectors.
NOTE: When using CAT 5e or CAT 6 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 m, 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.

Auto-Image — Press the Enter button to execute an Auto-Image on the active input.
Auto-Image updates active pixel, active lines, horizontal and vertical start, phase, horizontal
and vertical image position, and horizontal and vertical image size settings.
For analog video sources with dark backgrounds or borders, the Auto-Image threshold
can be adjusted with SIS commands. Raising the Auto-Image threshold ignores potential
extraneous sync pulses that may have been embedded in RGB signals (see Auto-Image
threshold value on page 40). Lowering the threshold can allow for more accurate sizing
and centering on dark video sources (such as dark PC desktop).
The following is performed during an Auto-Image when the aspect ratio is set to Fill:
• Horizontal and vertical image position return to 0.
• Horizontal and vertical image size fill to match the current output resolution.
The following is performed during an Auto-Image when the aspect ratio is set to Follow:
• The horizontal and vertical image position and image size is set to maintain the native
aspect of the input rate with regard to the current output resolution.
Set the aspect ratio on the Advanced submenu (see Aspect Ratio on page 26).
NOTE: Aside from the standard Auto-Image SIS command (see the SIS command on
page 40), there are unique commands to execute an Auto-Image and fill the output
and to execute an Auto-Image and maintain the input aspect ratio. These commands
ignore the current aspect mode setting, auto-image the input, and then apply a “fill” or
“follow.”
