The IN1608 IPCP HDBT models feature a built-in Extron IPCP Pro 350 control processor for controlling and monitoring a
variety of external devices, such as projectors and lights. See the IPCP Pro Series Setup Guide for more details.
NOTE: The non-IPCP models have a LAN connector next to the Remote RS-232 connector (see Mto the
right) instead of the IPCP Pro 350 control processor.
Mounting and Cabling
Step 1 —Mount the device
a. Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources.
b. Mount IN1608 HDBT scaler to a rack using the
pre-installed rack ears or use an optional mounting kit
for under-the-desk mounting (see the two images to
the right). The IN1608 HDBT comes in a 1U, full rack
width enclosure. All other IN1608 HDBT models come
in 2U, full rack width enclosures.

Step 2 —Connect inputs
a. Connect analog video sources to the VGA connectors (see gure 1, Bon page 1).
b. Connect digital HDMI or DVI (with an appropriate adapter) sources to the HDMI connectors (see gure 1, C).
c. Connect a DTP transmitter to the DTP input connectors (see gure 1, D). For cable wiring and recommendations, see Twisted Pair
Recommendations for DTP and HDBaseT Communication below.
Signal LED —Lights green when the unit is receiving an active video signal from a DTP transmitter.
Link LED —Lights amber when a valid link is established to a DTP transmitter.
d. To pass serial or infrared data, connect the control device to the RS-232 and IR Over DTP captive screw connectors (see RS-232 and IR
Over TP Wiring on page 3).
e. Connect analog audio input sources to the 5-pole captive screw connectors (see gure 1, E). See Audio Wiring on page 3.
f. Connect Mic/Line audio input sources to the 3-pole captive screw connectors (see gure 1, F).
Step 3 —Connect outputs
a. Connect an HDBaseT-compatible device to the HDBT output connector (see gure 1, G). For cable wiring and recommendations, see
Twisted Pair Recommendations for DTP and HDBaseT Communication below.
Signal LED —Lights green when the scaler is outputting active video.
Link LED —Lights amber when a valid link is established between the scaler and HDBaseT sink.
b. To pass serial or infrared data, connect a control device to the RS-232 and IR Over HDBT captive screw connector (see RS-232 and IR
Over TP Wiring on page 3).
c. Connect suitable video displays to the HDMI connectors (see gure 1, H).
d. Connect analog audio output devices to the 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors (see gure 1, I). See Audio Wiring on page 3.
e. For SA and MA models, connect an audio output device to the 5 mm, 4-pole or 2-pole captive screw connector (see gure 1, J).
Step 4 —Connect control devices
a. To control non-IPCP models through Ethernet, connect a LAN or WAN to the LAN connector (see Mon page 1). For the IPCP models,
connect a LAN or WAN to any of the LAN connectors on the IPCP Pro control processor (see gure 1, L). 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 gure 1, K). The default baud rate is 9600.
c. For control through USB, connect a host device to the front panel USB mini-B port (see gure 2, Aon page 3).
Step 5 —Set up the IPCP Pro control processor (IPCP models only)
See the IPCP Pro Series Setup Guide for installation details.
Step 6 —Connect power
Connect a 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power source to the AC power connector (see gure 1, A).
Twisted Pair Recommendations for DTP and HDBaseT Communication
Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances and reduce
transmission errors:
• Use Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cable for the best performance. 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 (shown to the right).
• 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.
ATTENTION:
• Do not connect these connectors to a computer or telecommunications network.
• Ne connectez pas ces ports à des données informatiques ou à un réseau de télécommunications.
• DTP remote power is intended for indoor use only. No part of the network that uses DTP remote power should be routed outdoors.
• L’alimentation DTP à distance est destiné à une utilisation en intérieur seulement. Aucune partie du réseau qui utilise l’alimentation DTP
à distance ne peut être routée en extérieur.
NOTE: When using shielded twisted pair cable in bundles or conduits, consider the following:
• Do not exceed 40% ll capacity in conduits.
• Do not comb the cable for the rst 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.

RS-232 and IR Over TP Wiring
To pass bidirectional serial command signals between DTP or HDBaseT-compatible devices, connect a control device to the three leftmost poles
(Tx, Rx, and G) of the 5-pole captive screw connector. To transmit and receive IR signals, connect a control device to the three rightmost poles
(G, Tx, and Rx).
NOTE: RS-232 and IR data can be transmitted or received simultaneously. The ground pole is shared by both ports.
Audio Wiring
Wire the audio input and output connectors as shown below and to the right. Use the supplied tie wrap to strap the audio cable to the extended
tail of the connector. This does not apply to the amplied audio output connector on the SA and MA models.
ATTENTION: For unbalanced outputs, do not connect
wires to the “-” poles (see the Extron Audio Wiring Card).
ATTENTION : Pour les sorties asymétriques, ne connectez
pas de câbles aux pôles «-» (voir le Audio Wiring Card
d’Extron).
NOTE: The length of exposed wires is critical. The ideal
length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
