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.

PC
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.

HDMI Connections
Use an Extron LockIt Lacing Bracket to secure an HDMI
cable to each device.
1. Plug the HDMI cables into the panel connection.
2. Loosen the side HDMI connection mounting screw
from the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing
bracket to be placed over it. 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.
ATTENTION: Do not overtighten the HDMI
connector mounting screw. The shield to
which it is fastened is very thin and can easily
be stripped.
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt
lacing bracket.
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.
The LockIt bracket can also be used in a stacked formation, as shown below.

Figure 11. Twisted Pair Cable Configuration
Supported cables
The scalers are compatible with CAT 5e, 6, 6a, and 7 shielded twisted pair (F/UTP, SF/UTP,
and S/FTP) and unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable.
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.

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.”

Grayscale, Blue Mode, and Audio Test (pink noise). The default setting is Off.
Figure 20. Available Test Patterns
NOTES:
• The audio test outputs pink noise on the embedded digital audio output (2-channel,
48 kHz, 16 bit).
• All test patterns include a single pixel border (except Blue mode).
Screen Saver and Timeout — Press the Left and Right buttons to select the screen saver
setting or duration the screen saver remains active before sync is disabled. Press the Up
and Down buttons to set the screen saver to a Black (default) or Blue screen or the screen
saver time-out duration to a specified number of seconds.
When there is no active video on the selected input, the device can mute the video output to
black or blue for a set duration before disabling output sync. By default, the scaler outputs
black video and sync (no sync time-out) with no active input applied.
The time-out duration can be set to Never (default) or to any duration from 1-500 seconds.
Auto-Image — Press the Navigation buttons to turn the automatic per-input Auto-Image
mode On or Off (default).
When enabled and a new input frequency is detected, the scaler first applies an existing
Auto Memory for the signal (if Auto Memory is enabled). If no entry exists, it performs an
automatic Auto-Image on the new signal. This sets a size and position for the image to fill
the screen, with respect to the current Aspect Ratio setting.
By default, the Auto-Image threshold is 25% brightness. Analog video signals greater
than the threshold are considered active video. To change the threshold value, use SIS
commands (see Auto-Image threshold value on page 40).
Aspect Ratio — Press the Navigation buttons to set the aspect ratio setting of the active
input to Fill (default) or Follow.
When in Fill mode, all inputs automatically fill the entire output. If an aspect ratio adjustment
for a single input rate is desired, the correct size and center can be set up using Image Size
and Image Position under Picture Controls (see Picture Controls Submenu on page 19). If
auto memory is enabled, then these settings are saved and recalled the next time the signal
is detected.
In Follow mode, each input rate is displayed with its native aspect ratio mode with the
correct letter box or pillar box settings visible.
The scaler clears the previous size and position settings whenever the aspect ratio setting
for an input is adjusted.
IN1606 and IN1608 Series Scaling Presentation Switcher • Operation 26
Auto Memory — Press the Navigation buttons to turn Auto Memory on or off for each
input. The scaler 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 scaler treats every applied signal as a new source.
Auto Memory and Auto-Image Interaction
Auto Memory Auto-Image Information
On On “New” signals and rates not previously detected by the
scaler, are initially set up using default parameters, then
Auto-Image is automatically applied. The next time the signal
is detected, the values stored in the auto memory location
are applied.
On (default) Off (default) “New” signals and rates not been previously detected by
the scaler, are set up using default parameters. If manual
input or picture settings are made to the input, an auto
memory location is created and recalled each time the input
is detected.
Off On Each change in input sync, input switch, or power cycle
triggers an automatic Auto-Image. When auto memory is
disabled, each change in sync is treated as a new signal
and an automatic Auto-Image is triggered. Manual changes
made to the image and picture controls are lost each time a
new rate is detected.
Off Off Each change in input sync causes default values to be
applied. Manual changes made to the image and picture
controls are lost when a new rate is applied, a new input is
applied, or after a power cycle.
Overscan — Press the Navigation buttons to select the overscan value for each input
format. Choose between 0%, 2.5%, or 5%. Set default overscan mode through SIS
commands (see the Overscan mode SIS commands on page 49).
Overcan is specific to each input signal type. This feature zooms and crops SMPTE input
resolutions to mask edge effects and ancillary data that are common in broadcast signals.
When the overscan mode is not at 0%, an Auto-Image on a SMPTE input rate (NTSC, PAL,
SECAM, 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and 2K [2048x1080]) refers to the default input
lookup table values instead of performing a “true” auto image.
NOTE: Overscan is valid only on SMPTE input rates (NTSC, PAL, 480p, 576p, 720p,
1080i, 1080p, or 2K [2048x1080]) and is global for each video format.
Auto Switch — Press the Navigation buttons to turn the auto switch mode on or off, and to
set the priority. The auto switch setting allows for basic, unmanaged, input switching based
on the presence of active input signals. Auto switch mode options are:
• Disabled (off)
• Setting priority to “high to low” (highest numbered active input to the lowest)
• Setting priority to “low to high” (lowest numbered active input to the highest)

SIS Configuration and Control
The scaler can be configured and controlled with 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, the LAN port, or 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).
This section describes SIS communication and control. Topics in this section include:
• Host and Scaler Communication
• SIS Overview
• Command and Response Tables
The scaler uses a protocol of 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control (see
RS-232 Connector on page 11).
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).
Scaler-Initiated Messages
When a local event such as a front panel selection or adjustment takes place, the scaler
responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the host. Example
scaler-initiated messages are listed here.
• In X! All] (where X! is the input number during an input switch).
• Reconfig] The scaler sends this response when an input is switched or when a new
signal is detected.
• HplgOX@] The scaler sends this response when a hot plug event on output X@ is
detected.

Password Information
The ] Password: prompt requires a password (administrator level or user level) followed
by a carriage return. The prompt is repeated if the correct password is not entered. If the
correct password is entered, the unit responds with ] Login Administrator ] or
] Login User ], depending on password entered. If passwords are the same for both
administrator and user, the unit defaults to administrator privileges.
Error Responses
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.
Error codes
E01 — Invalid input number E17 — Invalid command for signal type
E10 — Invalid command E22 — Busy
E11 — Invalid preset number E24 — Privilege violation
E12 — Invalid port number E25 — Device not present

• Fill — Scales the input signal to fill the entire video output.
• Follow — Follows the signal aspect ratio, with respect to the current output resolution
setting. Black letter box or pillar box bars may be applied for aspect ratio compensation.
IN1606 and IN1608 Series Scaling Presentation Switcher • Internal Web Pages 63
Auto-Image
Select the Auto-Image check box of the desired input to enable an automatic Auto-Image
to an input. When enabled, Auto-Image is applied whenever there is a change in the input
sync. Auto-Image attempts to size and center the input signal based on the aspect ratio
setting.
By default, the Auto-Image threshold is 25% brightness. Analog video signals greater
than the threshold are considered active video. To change the threshold value, use SIS
commands (see Auto-Image threshold value on page 40).
Auto Memory
Select the Auto Memory check box of the desired input to enable the Auto Memory (see
the Auto Memory and Auto-Image Interaction table on page 27 for a summary of the
interaction between Auto Memory and Auto-Image). Auto Memory recalls input and image
settings for signals that have previously been applied. When Auto Memory is disabled, the
scaler treats every newly applied input as a new source.
HDCP Authorized
Select the HDCP Authorized check box (inputs 3 and higher) to enable or disable the
HDCP Authorized feature. This feature determines if a digital input will report as an HDCP
authorized sink to a source.
NOTE: This option is not available for analog inputs 1 and 2.
For source devices that require encryption, enable HDCP Authorized. If HDCP Authorized
is disabled for sources that require encryption (for example, a Blu-ray player), the output is
muted or a warning message is displayed.
Some source devices may encrypt their output even if the source material does not require
HDCP encryption, preventing content from being displayed on a non-HDCP compliant
display. Disable HDCP Authorized to allow the output of the scaler to remain unencrypted.
Film Detect
Select the Film Detect check box of the desired input to enable automatic 3:2 and 2:2
film pulldown detection for NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and 1080i input signals.

Microphone audio input configuration
There are two mic/line inputs for the IN1606 and IN1608 series. The Mic/Line Input tab
contains options to apply phantom power or a high pass filter to the microphone inputs, set
ducking parameters, or adjust input gain on the microphone inputs.
Figure 46. Mic/Line Input Tab
Phantom power
Phantom power adds +48 VDC to the mic/line input. The default level for the microphone
input is 0 dB, muted. Having the input muted before plugging in a microphone and
especially before turning on phantom power is recommended.
ATTENTION:
• Condenser microphones require +48 V phantom power. Dynamic microphones
do not require power. Never enable phantom power with an unbalanced dynamic
microphone connected. Doing so may damage the microphone.
• For condenser microphones, verify it will safely operate at +48 VDC.
• When a line level source is connected, be certain the +48 V phantom power is
disabled.
To enable or disable phantom power:
1. Click the Mic/Line Input tab.
2. In the Mic/Line input panel for the desired microphone input, click the Phantom Power
button. The button turns blue when enabled.

-20 dBFS to -15 dBFS to accommodate normal variances in voice intensity.
IN1606 and IN1608 Series Scaling Presentation Switcher • Internal Web Pages 78
Ducking parameters
Ducking lowers the level of microphone or program material (based on a source signal from
another microphone) for the duration of the signal that is present at the source microphone.
It restores the original level after the source signal ceases and after the hold and release
times are met. This is useful when:
• Program material must be attenuated in order to accentuate the voice of a narrator.
• One microphone is used by a chairman or master of ceremonies and must have priority
over other microphones and program material.
• A paging microphone must attenuate all other signals.
To apply ducking for microphone inputs:
1. Click the Mic/Line Input tab.
2. From the desired Mic/Line input panel, select the Enable Ducking check box. The
following ducking options become available:
• Threshold — Sets the input signal level in dB that the ducking source must exceed
before ducking begins. The default is -30 dBFS.
• Hold time — Determines the time in ms after a ducking source signal drops below
the threshold before ducking ceases. The default value is 1000 ms.
• Release time — Determines how long in ms the ducking targets take to restore
signal levels after the ducking source level is below the threshold and the hold time
is met.
• Duck (targets) — Shows all potential targets to be attenuated when ducking is
enabled.
• Duck by (attenuation) — Attenuates the corresponding duck target in dB.

To optimize the program volume:
1. With the amplifier turned off, connect the Variable output of the scaler to an amplifier of
appropriate size for the room and the speakers.
2. Set the amplifier input level to the twelve o’clock position on the amplifier dial. For
IN1608 SA and IN1608 MA, the amplifier input level setting is already set.
NOTE: The twelve o’clock position on an amplifier input level is generally a
moderate level. This allows for the maximum signal to noise ratio and is easily
repeatable. The actual value of the amplifier input level will vary on each amplifier.
While most amplifiers have a maximum input of +4 dBu, attenuating the amplifier
input sensitivity by 12-17 dB will generally allow for maximum output from the
scaler.
3. Connect the speakers to the amplifier, assuring that polarity is not reversed.
4. Set the program volume to full attenuation.
5. Set the output volume to 100% (default).
6. Turn on the amplifier.
7. Play program material and adjust program volume to a reasonably loud yet tolerable
level. Verify that the amplifier is not clipping.
8. If desired, set the upper soft limit on the program volume to set the maximum allowable
level. This may be 6 or 12 dB above the current level (reasonably loud), or a value that is
determined to be the loudest level allowable for the room. Verify that the amplifier is not
clipping.
9. If desired, set a minimum allowable level by setting the lower soft limit.
10. Set the mic volume to an appropriate level relative to program volume.
Bass and treble
Also known as shelving or tone controls, the bass and treble faders provide the ability to cut
or boost levels. Both faders have a range of -24 dB to +12 dB. They also includes soft limit
handles to adjust the minimum and maximum allowable range (highlighted in blue).
To adjust the bass or treble:
1. Click the Mix Controls tab.
2. Adjust the level using any of the following methods:
• Click and drag the fader handle to the desired level.
• Click the fader handle and press the <Up Arrow> or <Down Arrow> key to
respectively increase or decrease the level in 1 dB increments (PCS only).
• Click the fader handle and press the <Page Up> or <Page Down> key to
respectively increase or decrease the level in 10 dB increments (PCS only).
• Click in the level text field below the fader and enter a new value. Then, press the

NOTE: Individual members of a mute group master that have been muted outside of the
group master will remain muted regardless of the current group master state.
Group controls
When grouped, gain control members move together at relative levels. If one member
reaches its limit, it retains that position while the other members continue to travel. When the
grouped members travel in the reverse direction, the member that was at its limit reverts to
its position relative to the other members.
When grouped, mute control members update to indicate they are part of a group. Group
members can be individually muted as well. When grouped members are individually muted,
they are exempt from the setting of the group master.
