Mounting and Cabling

Step 1 — Mounting

a. Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources.

b. Mount IN1608 scalers to a rack using the pre-installed rack ears or use an optional

mounting kit for under-the-desk mounting. The IN1608 comes in a 1U, full rack width
enclosure. The IN1608 SA and IN1608 MA come in 2U, full rack width enclosures.

Step 2 — Connecting Inputs

a. Connect analog video sources to the VGA connectors (see b above).

b. Connect digital HDMI or DVI (with an appropriate adapter) sources to the HDMI

connectors (see c above).

c. Connect a DTP transmitter to the DTP input connectors (see d above). For cable wiring

and recommendations, see Twisted Pair Recommendations for DTP Communication
on page 2.

Signal LED — Lights green when the unit is receiving an active video signal from a DTP
transmitter.

Link LED — Lights amber when a valid link is established to a DTP transmitter.

d. To pass serial, infrared data, or other control signals, as for serial control of a source,

connect the control device to the RS-232 and IR Over DTP captive screw connectors
(see RS-232 and IR Over DTP Wiring on page 2).

e. Connect analog audio input sources to the 5-pole captive screw connectors

(see e above). For audio wiring, see Audio Wiring on page 2.

f. Connect Mic/Line audio input sources to the 3-pole captive screw connectors

(see f above).

Step 3 — Connecting outputs

a. Connect a DTP receiver to the DTP output connector (see g on page 1). For cable wiring and recommendations, see Twisted Pair

Recommendations for DTP Communication below.

Signal LED — Lights green when the IN1608 is outputting active video to a DTP receiver.

Link LED — Lights amber when a valid link is established between the IN1608 and a DTP receiver.

b. To pass serial, infrared data, or other control signals, connect a control device to the RS-232 and IR Over DTP captive screw connector

(see RS-232 and IR Over DTP Wiring below).

c. Connect suitable video displays to the HDMI connectors (see h on page 1).
d. Connect analog audio output devices to the 3.5 mm 5-pole captive screw connectors (see i on page 1). For audio wiring, see Audio

Wiring below.

e. For SA and MA models, connect an audio output device to the 5 mm, 4-pole or 2-pole captive screw connector (see j on page 1).

Step 4 — Connecting control devices

a. For control through Ethernet, connect a LAN or WAN to the RJ-45 connector (see k on page 1). The default IP address is

192.168.254.254. The default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.

b. For serial RS-232 control, connect a host device to the 3-pole captive screw connector (see l on page 1). The default baud rate is 9600.

c. For control through USB, connect a host device to the front panel mini USB B port (see a of gure 2).

Step 5 — Connecting power

Connect a 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power source to the AC power connector
(see a on page 1).

Twisted Pair Recommendations for DTP Communication

Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up to
230 feet (70 m) and reduce transmission errors.

• Use Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cable for the best performance. 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 T 568 B standard (shown to the right).

• 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.

ATTENTION:

• Do not connect these devices to a computer or telecommunications network.

• DTP remote power is intended for indoor use only. No part of the network that uses DTP remote power should be routed outdoors.

NOTE: When using CAT 5e or CAT 6 cable in bundles or conduits, consider the following:

• Do not exceed 40% ll capacity in conduits.

• Do not comb the cable for the rst 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.

RS-232 and IR Over DTP Wiring

To pass bidirectional serial command signals between DTP-compatible devices, connect a control device to the three leftmost poles (Tx, Rx, and G)
of the 5-pole captive screw connector. To transmit and receive IR signals, connect a control device to the three rightmost poles (G, Tx, and Rx).

NOTE: RS-232 and IR data can be transmitted or received simultaneously.

Audio Wiring

Wire the audio input and output connectors as shown to the right.
Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the audio cable to the extended tail
of the connector. This does not apply to the amplied audio output
connectors on the IN1608 SA and IN1608 MA.

ATTENTION: For unbalanced outputs, do not connect

wires to the “-” poles (see the Extron Audio Wiring Card).

NOTE: The length of exposed wires is critical. The ideal

length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).

Conguring IN1608 Scalers

IN1608 scalers can be congured through front panel controls and the on-screen display
(OSD) menu, the internal web pages, the Extron Product Conguration Software, or SIS
commands. To access the internal web pages or send SIS commands, connect a host
device to the scaler 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

IN1608 scalers have an OSD menu consisting of nine submenus that can be accessed
using the front panel Menu and Enter buttons (see the example to the right). View the menu
on a display connected to either HDMI output or DTP output connector (see h on page 1).
The submenus are:

NOTE: Press and hold the Enter button for 10 seconds to edit settings in the

Communication submenu.

Internal Web Pages

IN1608 scalers can be congured, controlled, and operated using a web
browser. Connect the Ethernet port on the device to a LAN or WAN. The
browser displays the factory-installed web pages, which provide a means
of conguring and operating the device (see the example to the right).
Enter the IP address of the unit in the browser Address eld to access the
web pages (see the IN1608 User Guide for more details). The default IP
address is 192.168.254.254. The default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0.

Extron Product Conguration Software

To congure IN1608 scalers using the Extron Product Conguration
Software (PCS), install the software (available on the Extron website,

www.extron.com) to a PC connected to the scaler via Ethernet, RS-232,

or front panel USB Cong port. After the installation, start the program.
For full instructions, press <F1> or click the ? button and select Help

Firmware Upgrades

The rmware of the scaler can be upgraded via the internal web pages or the Extron Firmware Loader program (available on the Extron website,

www.extron.com). The internal web pages cannot be accessed through the USB port.

Basic SIS Command Table

IN1608 scalers can be congured with specic 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 below lists a selection of SIS commands. For a full list of SIS commands and
variables, see the IN1608 User Guide at www.extron.com.
