In this guide, the terms “IN1606” and “scaler” are used interchangeably to refer to the
IN1606 Scaling Presentation Switcher.
IN1606 Description
The Extron IN1606 is a six input, HDCP-compliant video scaler in a 1U, full rack width
enclosure.
The IN1606 includes four HDMI inputs, two configurable analog video inputs, and two
simultaneous HDMI outputs. It accepts a wide variety of video formats including HDMI,
HDTV, RGB, and standard definition video. It features an advanced video scaling engine with
1080i deinterlacing and seamless switching to deliver uncompromised picture quality for up
to 1920x1200 and 2048x1080 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 IN1606 also uses a digital 3D adaptive comb filter that optimizes decoding of
NTSC, PAL, and SECAM sources for integration into systems worldwide. Enhanced audio
features include six 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 IN1606 offers flexible control options including Ethernet,
RS-232, and USB. It provides 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 IN1606 features four HDMI inputs plus two
universal analog video inputs that can process RGB computer video, HDTV, component
video, S-video, and composite video. The IN1606 provides 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 IN1606 features 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 IN1606 also features SpeedSwitch Technology that
delivers exceptional switching speed for HDCP-encrypted content.

IN1606 Scaling Presentation Switcher • Introduction 2
The IN1606 also provides complete control of advanced audio configuration settings
through internal Web pages. Using the internal Web pages, users can easily adjust audio
input and output gain, attenuation, mixing, and ducking parameters.
The IN1606 features 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 a 1U, full rack width metal enclosure, the IN1606 can
easily be integrated into many environments. The IN1606 is ideal in boardrooms where
superior performance is essential and instructional environments for complete integration of
digital and analog AV sources and displays.
The following diagram demonstrates an example of a typical application for the IN1606 with
multiple sources and outputs.
