IN1608 xi • Setup Guide (Continued)

Mounting and Cabling

Step 1 —Mount the device

a. Turn off or disconnect all equipment power.

b. Mount IN1608 xi scaler to a rack using the

pre-installed rack ears, or use an optional

mounting kit for under-desk mounting (see the

two images at right).

The IN1608 xi comes in a 1U, full rack width

enclosure (shown in the examples at right). All

other IN1608 xi models come in 2U, full rack

width enclosures.

Step 2 —Connect inputs

a. Connect analog video sources to the VGA connectors (see gure 1, B, on the previous page).

b. Connect digital HDMI or DVI (with an appropriate adapter) sources to the HDMI connectors (C).

c. Connect a DTP transmitter to the DTP input connectors (D). For cable wiring and recommendations, see Twisted Pair

Recommendations for DTP and HDBaseT Communication on the next page.

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 the next page). Alternatively, insert RS-232 communication to a DTP/HDBaseT

endpoint via Ethernet (see the IN1608 xi Series User Guide for more information).

e. Connect analog audio sources to the inputs via the 5-pole captive screw connectors (E). See Audio Wiring on the next

page for more information.)

f. Connect Mic/Line audio sources to the inputs via the 3-pole captive screw connectors (F).

Step 3 —Connect outputs

a. Set the twisted pair switch (H) to one of the following positions:

• HDBT — Set the twisted pair switch to the Up position to set the twisted pair connector for HDBaseT

communication. The switch returns to the middle position after.

• DTP — Set the twisted pair switch to the Down position to set the twisted pair connector for DTP communication.

b. Connect an DTP/HDBaseT-compatible device to the HDBT output connector (G). For cable wiring and

recommendations, see Twisted Pair Recommendations for DTP and HDBaseT Communication.

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 the DTP/HDBaseT sink.

c. To pass serial or infrared data, connect a control device to the RS-232 and IR Over DTP captive screw connector (see

RS-232 and IR Over TP Wiring on the next page). Alternatively, insert RS-232 communication to a DTP/HDBaseT

endpoint via Ethernet (see the IN1608 xi Series User Guide for more information).

d. Connect suitable video displays to the HDMI connectors (I).

e. Connect analog audio devices to the outputs via the 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connectors (J). See Audio Wiring

on the next page for more information.

f. For SA and MA models, connect speakers to the Amplied Output via the 5 mm 4-pole or 2-pole captive screw

connector (K).

Step 4 —Connect control devices

a. To control non-IPCP models through Ethernet, connect a LAN or WAN to the LAN connector (see Non page 1). For the

IPCP models, connect a LAN or WAN to any of the LAN connectors on the IPCP Pro control processor (M). The default

IP address of the scaler is 192.168.254.254. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

b. For serial RS-232 control, connect a host device to the 3-pole captive screw connector (L). 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 4).

Step 5 —Set up the IPCP Pro 355 control processor (IPCP models only)

See the IPCP Pro Series Setup Guide, available at www.extron.com, 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, on page 1).

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 at

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: Alternatively, RS-232 data can be inserted via Ethernet (see the IN1608 xi Series User Guide for details).

Audio Wiring

Wire the audio input and output connectors as shown

at 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).
