IN1606 and IN1608 Series Scaling Presentation Switcher • Introduction 6
General
• Supported HDMI specification features — Includes data rates up to 6.75 Gbps,
Deep Color, and HD lossless audio formats
• HDCP-compliance — Fully supports HDCP-encrypted sources, with selectable
authorization for unencrypted content.
• HDCP authentication and signal presence confirmation — Provides real-time
verification of HDCP status for each digital video input and output. This allows for quick
signal and HDCP verification through front panel LEDs, RS-232, USB, or Ethernet,
providing feedback to a system operator or helpdesk support staff.
• HDCP Visual Confirmation — Sends a full-screen green signal when
HDCP-encrypted content is transmitted to a non-HDCP compliant display, providing
immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.
• Bidirectional RS-232 and IR insertion for AV device control
(IN1608 models only) — Transmits RS-232 control and IR signals alongside the video
signal over DTP connections, allowing the remote device to be controlled without the
need for additional cabling. Bidirectional control extension eliminates the need for
control system wiring to remote devices.
• Remote powering of DTP transmitters and receiver (IN1608 models only) —
Provides power to two remote DTP 230 transmitters and a remote DTP 230 receiver
over each twisted pair connection, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at
the remote units.
• Key Minder — Authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between
input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV
environments, while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to one
or more displays.
• Advanced scaling engine — Scales inputs to a common high resolution output with
30-bit processing and 1080i deinterlacing.
• EDID Minder — Ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably output content
for display.
• SpeedSwitch Technology — Provides high-speed switching for HDCP-encrypted
content.
• Aspect ratio control — Controls the aspect ratio by selecting a Fill mode, which
provides a full screen output, or a Follow mode, which preserves the original aspect
ratio of the input signal.
• Image freeze control — Freezes a live image.
• Auto-Image — Automatically detects the resolution of the incoming video signal.
• Auto Input Memory — Automatically stores size, position, and picture settings based
on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected again, these image settings
are automatically recalled from memory.
• On-screen menus — Allows for easy system setup using the front panel controls.
Key parameters such as input and output video formats and resolutions are grouped
on the initial Quick Setup screen, while additional screens provide full control over other
functions and settings.
• Output Standby Mode — Mutes video and sync output to the display device when
no active input signal is detected. This allows the projector or flat-panel display to
automatically enter into standby mode to save energy and enhance lamp or panel life.
• Power Save Mode — Conserves energy when the unit is not in use.
