sources.

• Interface format correction — Automatically reformats HDMI source signals for

output to a connected DVI display.

• Auto-switching between inputs — Enhances presentations by eliminating

distractions during switching with glitch-free cut through black and fade through black
transition effects.

IN1604 DTP and IN1604 HD Scalers • Introduction 2

Audio

• Selectable output rates — Include computer-video output rates from 640x480 to

1920x1200, HDTV rates up to 1080p/60, and 2K.

• Integrated DTP output (IN1604 DTP only) — Supports digital signal transmission of

HDMI or DVI plus control and analog audio up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a single
shielded twisted pair cable, providing high reliability and maximum performance on an
easily installed cable infrastructure.

• HDMI output (IN1604 HD only) — Provides one HDMI output.

• Audio input gain and attenuation — Gain or attenuation can be adjusted for each

analog input to eliminate noticeable differences when switching between sources.

• Audio input assignment — Enables all four video inputs to share a single analog

audio input. Each video input can be assigned to either of the two available analog
audio inputs.

• Audio switching transition — Lowers the audio of the switched-out source while

simultaneously bringing up the audio of the activated source. The duration of the audio
crossfade matches the duration of the video switching transition.

• Automatic integrated audio delay — Compensates for latency introduced by the

video processing.

• HDMI audio embedding — Embeds analog audio signals onto the DTP or HDMI

output.

• Output volume control — Provides master volume control for the audio output.

• Selectable audio muting — Individually or simultaneously mutes the analog and

embedded digital audio outputs.

General

• Supported HDMI specification features — Includes data rates up to 6.75 Gbps,

Deep Color, and HD lossless audio formats.

• HDCP-compliance — Fully supports HDCP-encrypted sources, with selectable

authorization for unencrypted content.

• HDCP authentication and signal presence confirmation — Provides real-time

verification of HDCP status for each digital video input and output. This allows for quick
signal and HDCP verification through RS-232, USB, or front panel LED indicators,
providing feedback to a system operator or helpdesk support staff.

• HDCP Visual Confirmation — Sends a full-screen green signal when

HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, providing
immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.

• Bidirectional RS-232 and IR insertion for AV device control (IN1604 DTP only)

— Transmits RS-232 control and IR signals alongside the video signal over DTP
connection, allowing the remote device to be controlled without the need for additional
cabling. Bidirectional control extension eliminates the need for control system wiring to
remote devices.

• Support for integrated DTP output (IN1604 DTP only) — Supports transmission

or more displays.

• Advanced scaling engine — Scales inputs to a common high resolution output with

30-bit processing and 1080i deinterlacing.

• EDID Minder — Ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably output content

for display.

• SpeedSwitch Technology — Provides high-speed switching for HDCP-encrypted

content.

• Aspect ratio control — Controls the aspect ratio by selecting a Fill mode, which

provides a full screen output, or a Follow mode, which preserves the original aspect
ratio of the input signal.

• Image freeze control — Freezes a live image.

• Automatic input cable equalization — Actively conditions incoming HDMI signals

to compensate for signal loss when using long cables, low quality cables, or source
devices with poor signal output.

• Auto-Image — Automatically optimizes the image by analyzing and adjusting to the

video input signal.

• Auto Input Memory — Automatically stores size, position, and picture settings based

on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected again, these image settings
are automatically recalled from memory.

• On-screen menus — Allows for easy system setup using the front panel controls.

Key parameters such as input and output video formats and resolutions are grouped
on the initial Quick Setup screen, while additional screens provide full control over other
functions and settings.

• Output Standby Mode — Mutes video and sync output to the display device when

no active input signal is detected. This allows the projector or flat-panel display to
automatically enter into standby mode to save energy and enhance lamp or panel life.

• Power Save Mode — Places the scaler in a low power standby state to conserve

energy when not in use.

• Picture controls — Includes controls for brightness, contrast, color, tint, detail,

horizontal and vertical positioning, and sizing.

• Automatic 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection — Helps maximize image detail and

sharpness for NTSC, PAL, and HDTV 1080i sources that originated from film.

Supported cables

The scalers are compatible with 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 device with DTP transmitters or receivers.

ATTENTION : N’utilisez pas le câble AV Skew-FreeUTP version améliorée UTP23SF

d’Extron ou le câble STP201 pour relier le appareil avec les émetteurs ou les
récepteurs DTP.

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 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 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.

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 33). Lowering the threshold can allow for more accurate sizing

and centering on dark video sources (such as a 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 24).

NOTE: Aside from the standard Auto-Image SIS command (see the Auto-Image SIS

commands on page 33), 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.”

The time-out duration can be set to Never (default) or to any duration from 1-500 seconds.

IN1604 DTP and IN1604 HD Scalers • Operation 23

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 33).

Aspect Ratio — Press the Navigation buttons to set the aspect ratio setting of the active
input to Fill (default) or Follow. The scaler clears the previous size and position settings
whenever the aspect ratio setting for an input is adjusted.

When in Fill mode, all inputs automatically fill the entire output. For an adjustment to the
aspect ratio of a single input rate, use Image Size and Image Position under Picture Controls
(see Picture Controls Submenu on page 17). If auto memory is enabled, 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.

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.

scaler are 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.

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 43).

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)

Factory Reset — Press and hold the Enter button to reset the device to factory defaults.
The scaler retains the current firmware version.

Communication Submenu

The Communication submenu displays RS-232 settings and allows contact closure and tally
LED configuration.

Remote Port — Displays the Baud rate for the serial RS-232.
Contact Mute and Tally LED — Press the Left and Right buttons to select contact closure

mute mode. Press the Up and Down buttons to select the tally LED action.

Contact Mute options:

• None — The initial contact closure provides input switching to the corresponding input.

Any additional button presses or contact closures on the input have no additional effect.

• A/V Mute — Once an input is selected, additional contact closure pulses mutes or

unmutes audio and video on the output.

• Sync Mute — Once an input is selected, additional contact closure pulses mutes or

unmutes audio and video sync on the output.

Tally LED options:

• Always On — The LED on the corresponding tally output pin to the selected input

remains lit at all times.

• Mute Off — The LED on the corresponding tally output pin to the selected input turns

off when video or sync is muted; otherwise, the it remains lit.

• Mute Blink — The LED on the corresponding tally output pin to the selected input

blinks when video or sync is muted; otherwise, the LED remains lit.

The Device Info submenu displays device information including internal temperature, input

submenu does not contain any adjustable submenu items.

Front Panel Lockout (Executive Modes)

The scalers have three modes of front panel security lock that limit the operation of the
device from the front panel.

Executive mode 0 (disabled) — Unlocks front panel functions. This is the default setting.
Executive mode 1 (enabled) — Locks all front panel functions completely. This mode

can be enabled or disabled only by SIS commands (see the executive mode commands
on page 43). All functions can still be performed through USB or RS-232 control (see SIS

Configuration and Control on page 27 or Configuration Software on page 47).

Executive mode 2 (enabled) — Locks all front panel functions except input switching

and Auto-Image. All functions and adjustments can still be made through USB or RS-232
control (see SIS Configuration and Control on page 27 or Configuration Software on
page 47).

The menu system returns to the default menu within 10 seconds.

IN1604 DTP and IN1604 HD Scalers • Operation 26

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 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). RS-232
connection uses a protocol of 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. The
protocol cannot be adjusted. This section describes SIS communication and control. Topics
in this section include:

• Host and Scaler Communication

• SIS Overview

• Command and Response Tables

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.

• HplgO X@] The scaler sends this response when a hot plug event on output X@ is

detected.

SIS Overview

Using the Command and Response Tables

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 tot he host.

E01 — Invalid input number E13 — Invalid parameter
E06 — Invalid switch attempt in this mode E14 — Not valid for this configuration
E10 — Invalid command E17 — Invalid command for signal type
E11 — Invalid preset number E22 — Busy
E12 — Invalid port number

The Command and Response Tables for SIS commands beginning on page 33 lists
the commands that the scaler recognizes as valid, the responses that are returned to the
host, a description of the command function or the results of executing the command, and
examples of commands in ASCII (Telnet) and URL encoded (Web).

Input Configuration panel

Figure 40. Input Configuration Panel

To configure an input, adjust the following:

1. For analog input 1, select the desired input signal type from the Signal Type drop-

down menu (1). Available options include RGB (default), YUV, S-Video, Composite,
and HDMI_DVI. For all other inputs, HDMI/DVI is the only available signal type.

2. From the Aspect Ratio drop-down menu (2), select one of the following:

• 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.

3. For analog input 1, select the Auto-Image check box (3) to enable an automatic Auto-

Image to the 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. An analog video signal greater
than the threshold are considered active video. To change the threshold value, use SIS
commands (see Auto-Image threshold value commands on page 33).

4. To enable the Auto Memory for an individual input, select the Auto Memory check box

(4) of the desired input. 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.

5. To enable the HDCP Authorized feature for inputs 2-4, select the HDCP Authorized

check box (5). 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 input 1.

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.

6. To enable automatic 3:2 and 2:2 film pulldown detection for NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and

1080i input signals, select the Film Detect check box (6).

UL Guidelines for rack mounted devices

Mounting Bracket

Mounting Screws

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the
scaler in a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a closed

or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the scaler in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 ˚F,
+50 ˚C) specified by Extron.

2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow

required for safe operation of the equipment is no compromised.

3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous

condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the

effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted

equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
