IN1606 and IN1608 Series Scaling Presentation Switcher • Introduction 8
General Features
Interface format correction — Enables or disables embedded audio and InfoFrames,
and sets the correct color space for proper connection to HDMI and DVI displays.
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.
Aspect ratio control — Controls the aspect ratio of the video output. Fill mode
provides a full screen output. Follow mode preserves the original aspect ratio of the
input signal.
Advanced scaling engine — Performs image scaling and video format conversion at
30-bit precision for enhanced color accuracy and picture detail. Advanced deinterlacing
for all interlaced signals up to 1080i delivers optimized image quality.
Bidirectional RS-232 and IR pass-through for AV device control
(IN1608 Series only) — Transmits RS-232 control and IR signals alongside the video
signal over DTP or HDBaseT 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 power to DTP extenders (IN1608 Series only) — Provides power to two
remote DTP transmitters (IN1608 Series) and a remote DTP receiver (IN1608 DTP only)
over each twisted pair connection, eliminating the need for separate power supplies at
the remote units.
Integrated IPLink Pro control processor (IN1608 IPCP models only) — Offers
complete AV system control.
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.
EDID Minder — Manages EDID communication between connected devices. It
ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably output content for display.
SpeedSwitch Technology Provides high-speed switching for HDCP-encrypted
content.
Seamless switching — Enhances presentations by eliminating distractions during
switching with seamless cut through black and fade through black transition effects.
Image freeze control — Freezes a live image.
Auto-Image — Automatically optimizes the image by analyzing and adjusting to the
video input signal when activated.
Auto Input Memory — Automatically stores size, position, and picture settings based
on the incoming signal when activated. When the same signal is detected again, these
image settings are automatically recalled from memory.
