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.

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 a 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.

They 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, plus 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 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.

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 to 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 similar

tools to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length.

The LockIt bracket can also be used in a stacked formation, as shown below.

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.

Cable recommendations

Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances up to 230 feet (70 m) 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 T 568 B 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.

Screen Saver and Timeout — Press the Left and Right buttons to select the screen saver

or time-out setting. Press the Up and Down buttons to set the screen saver to a Black (default) or Blue screen or the time-out duration to a specified number 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 continually output 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.

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 will 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.

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.

Page 32

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 SIS Configuration and Control on page 29).

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, as well as communication and IP settings.

The Device Info submenu displays device information including unit name, firmware version, internal temperature, input and output signal information, and detected display information. This 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. All functions can still be made through USB, RS-232, or Ethernet control (see SIS Communication and Control on page 29,

Configuration Software on page 50, or Internal Web Pages on page 56).

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

and volume control. All functions and adjustments can still be made through USB, RS-232, or Ethernet control (see SIS Communication and Control on page 29, Configuration

Software on page 50, or Internal Web Pages on page 56).

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 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.

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

product whose current configuration does not support the command.

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

Rack Mounting

The scalers can be mounted into racks with the pre-installed rack ears (see UL Guidelines

for rack mounted devices on page 87). To install the device, line up the screw holes on

the rack ears on both side of the device with the screw holes in the rack so they device is level. Use the provided screws to attach the device to the rack.

UL Guidelines for rack mounted devices

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

Furniture Mounting

See the Extron website, www.extron.com, for a list of available furniture mounting kits. To install the scaler to furniture, follow the mounting kit instructions.
