correct letter box or pillar box settings visible.

The IN1606 clears the previous size and position settings whenever the aspect ratio setting
for an input is adjusted.

Auto Memory — Press the Navigation buttons to turn the Auto Memory on or off for each
input. The IN1606 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 signals that have been previously applied.
When auto memories are disabled, the IN1606 treats every newly applied input as a new
source.

Auto Memory Auto-Image Information

On On “New” signals/rates that have not been previously

detected by the IN1606 are initially set up using default
parameters, then Auto-Image is automatically applied.
The next time that signal is detected, the values stored in
the auto memory location are applied.

On (default) Off (default) “New” signals/rates that have not been previously

detected by the IN1606 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 successive 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. Any 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. Any manual changes made to the image and
picture controls are lost when a new rate is applied, a
new input is selected, or after a power cycle.

SIS Communication
and Control

The IN1606 can be configured and controlled via a host computer or other device (such
as a control system) attached to the rear panel RS-232 connector, the LAN port or the
front panel USB port. Control is accomplished using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS)
commands or the IN1606 internal Web pages.

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 9).

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 IN1606 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 IN1606
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 IN1606 sends this response when an input is switched or when a

new signal is detected.

time are displayed.

This is followed by a Password prompt if a password has been set.

IN1606 Scaling Presentation Switcher • SIS Communication and Control 25

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 IN1606 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 values

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
E13 — Invalid parameter E26 — Maximum number of connections

E14 — Not valid for this configuration E28 — Bad filename or file not found

exceeded

Error response references

These references in the Command and Response tables note particular error responses to
that command.

14

= Commands that give an E14 (invalid command for this configuration) error if sent to a

product whose current configuration does not support the command.

24

= Commands that give an E24 (privilege violation) error if not administrator level.

28

= Commands that may give an E28 (file not found) error.

Using the Command and Response Tables

The Command and Response tables for SIS commands later in this section lists the
commands that the IN1606 recognizes as valid, the responses that are returned to the host,
a description of the command’s function or the results of executing the command, and
select examples of commands in ASCII (Telnet) and URL encoded (web).

NOTE: Upper and lower case text can be used interchangeably unless otherwise

UL Guidelines for Rack Mounted Devices

Attach the provided rubber feet to the bottom four corners of the enclosure.

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the
IN1606 in a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If 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 IN1606 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).

Under the Table Mounting

Use the optional MBU 149 mount kit to mount the IN1606 under a desk or table. Follow the
instructions included with the MBU 149.
