IN1606 • Setup Guide
The Extron IN1606 Scaling Presentation Switcher is a six input, HDCP-compliant video scaler that accepts a wide variety of audio and video
formats. This guide allows an experienced user to set up and congure the IN1606. It covers how to perform basic operations using the front panel
controls and selected Simple Instruction Set (SIS™) commands.
NOTE: For full installation, configuration, menus, connector wiring, and operation details, see the IN1606 and IN1608 Series User Guide, at

Mounting and Cabling
Step 1 — Mounting
a. Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources.
b. Mount the IN1606 to a rack using the pre-installed rack ears (see gure 2) or remove the
rack ears and use an optional mounting kit for under-the-desk mounting (see gure 3).
Step 2 — Connecting inputs
a. Connect analog video sources to the 15-pin HD connectors (see babove).
b. Connect digital HDMI or DVI (with an appropriate adapter) sources to the HDMI
connectors (see cabove).
c. Connect audio input sources to the 5-pole captive screw connectors (see dabove).
d. Connect Mic/Line input sources to the 3-pole captive screw connectors (see eabove).
Step 3 — Connecting outputs
a. Connect suitable video displays to the HDMI connectors (see fabove).
b. Connect audio output devices to the 5-pole captive screw connectors (see gabove).
ATTENTION: For unbalanced outputs, do not connect wires to the “-” poles
(see the IN1606 and IN1608 Series User Guide for wiring details).
Step 4 — Connecting control devices
a. For control through Ethernet, connect a LAN or WAN to the RJ-45 connector
(see habove). 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 iabove). The default baud rate is 9600.
c. For control through USB, connect a host device to the front panel mini USB B port.
(see aon page 2).
Step 5 — Connecting power
Connect a 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power source to the power AC power connector (see aabove).

bInput selection buttons (1-6) —Press one of these buttons to select an input. The buttons light amber for audio and video, green for video
only, or red for audio only.
cStatus LED indicators —
Input Signal LEDs —Light for the corresponding input when active video content is detected on that input.
Output Signal LEDs —Remain lit green when active video is being output, or blink amber when output video and sync are disabled.
Input HDCP LEDs —Light for each input signal that is HDCP-encrypted. Analog inputs 1 and 2 cannot be HDCP-encrypted.
Output HDCP LEDs —Light for an output when it is currently HDCP-encrypted.
dMenu and Enter buttons —Press these buttons to access and navigate the on-screen display (OSD) menu system.
eNavigation buttons —Press these buttons to navigate through the on-screen display menu system or change selected settings.
fVolume knob and LED indicators —Rotate the Volume knob to adjust the variable analog audio output (default), mic, or program volume
(see the IN1606 and IN1608 Series User Guide to congure the knob through group masters). The eight Volume LED indicators light in order
according to the audio volume level. The bottom LED blinks when the volume is muted. They light in order from bottom to top to indicate a
12.5% increase or decrease in volume (12.5 dB) from 1% (-99 dB) to 99% (-1 dB). The top LED blinks when the volume is 100% (0 dB).
Setting Front Panel Lockout Modes (Executive Modes)
The IN1606 has two modes of front panel security lock that limit the operation of the device from the front panel.
• Executive mode 0 —The front panel is fully unlocked. This is the default setting.
• Executive mode 1 —The front panel is completely locked. This can only be enabled or disabled using SIS commands or the internal
web pages (see the IN1606 and IN1608 Series User Guide for web page details or the rear page of this guide for the SIS command).
• Executive mode 2 —The front panel is locked except for input switching and volume control. Press and hold the Menu and Enter
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to enable or disable this mode.
Conguring the IN1606
