USER MANUAL IN1806 Extron
IN1806 • Setup Guide
The Extron IN1806 is a six input seamless scaling presentation switcher that supports signal resolutions up to 4K @ 60 Hz at 4:4:4. It features DisplayPort and HDMI inputs, an HDMI output, and a mirrored Extron DTP2 output for extending video, audio, and control signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a shielded CATx cable. The IN1806 delivers high image quality, fast and reliable switching, Extron ProDSP audio processing, seamless video transition effects, logo keying, and HDMI loop-out. The scaler can be controlled and configured over Ethernet, RS-232, or USB.
This guide provides instructions for an experienced user to set up and configure the IN1806 scaler. It covers how to perform basic setup operations using the front panel controls and selected Simple Instruction Set (SISTM) commands.
NOTES:
- For full installation, configuration, menus, connector wiring, and operation details, see the IN1806 and IN1808 Series User Guide at www.extron.com.
- The IN1806 can also be configured via the Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS), available at www.extron.com. For information on using PCS, see the IN1806 and IN1808 Series Help File.

Mounting and Cabling
Step 1 — Mount the device
a. Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources.
b. Mount the IN1806 to a rack using the pre-installed side mounting brackets, or remove the brackets and use an optional 19-inch kit for under-desk mounting (see the instructions provided with the mounting kit, available at www.extron.com).
Step 2 - Connect inputs
a. Make the following video input connections as needed:
- Connect a DP source to the Input 1 DisplayPort connector (see figure 1, B).
- Connect digital HDMI or DVI (with an appropriate adapter) sources to HDMI input connectors 2 through 6 (O).
b. Connect analog audio sources to:
- The 5-pole captive screw line audio input connectors 3 and 4 (G) and the Aux connector (N) for balanced or unbalanced stereo audio. The Aux Line input (N) is shared and can be associated with one or more video inputs.
- Connect balanced or unbalanced mic or line level inputs to 3-pole Mic/Line captive screw connectors 1 and 2 (H). These inputs support optional +48 VDC phantom power, which is indicated by the LEDs at the left of the connectors.
Step 3 — Connect outputs
Make the following output connections as needed:
- Connect an HDMI, or DVI with an appropriate adapter, display to HDMI/CEC output connector 1A (see figure 1, D, on the previous page). Connect a display to the HDMI Loop Out connector (C).
- Connect a DTP/XTP matrix switcher/HDBaseT compatible receiver to output connector 1B (E). For cable wiring and recommendations, see “Twisted Pair Recommendations for DTP, XTP, and HDBaseT Communication.”
- Connect balanced or unbalanced analog audio output devices to one or both 5-pole captive screw output connector pairs 1 and 2, or 3 and 4 (1) (see Audio Wiring on the next page for more information).
To pass infrared data, connect a control device to the 3-pole IR Over DTP captive screw connector (see IR Over TP Wiring, on the next page). Alternatively, insert RS-232 communication to a DTP/HDBaseT endpoint via Ethernet (see the IN1806 and IN1808 Series User Guide for more information).
Step 4 — Connect control devices
- To control the IN1806 through Ethernet, connect a LAN or WAN to the RJ-45 LAN connector (J). To wire the RJ-45 connector to the cable, see “Twisted Pair Recommendations for DTP, XTP, and HDBaseT Communication.” The default IP address of the scaler is 192.168.254.254, the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0.
- For serial RS-232 control, connect a host device to the 3-pole captive screw connector (K). The default baud rate is 9600.
- For control through USB, connect a host device to the front panel USB mini-B port (see figure 2, A, on the next page).
Step 5 — Connect power
Connect a 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power source to the AC power connector (see figure 1, A, on the previous page).
Twisted Pair Recommendations for DTP, XTP, 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.

| TIA/EIA-T568B | |
| Pin | Wire Color |
| 1 | White-orange |
| 2 | Orange |
| 3 | White-green |
| 4 | Blue |
| 5 | White-blue |
| 6 | Green |
| 7 | White-brown |
| 8 | Brown |
ATTENTION:
NOTE: When using shielded twisted pair cable in bundles or conduits, consider the following:
- Do not exceed 40% fill capacity in conduits.
• Do not comb the cable for the first 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.
Firmware Updates
Download firmware updates from the Extron website and upload them via the internal web pages or PCS.
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.
ATTENTION:
NOTE: The length of exposed wires is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
IR Over TP Wiring
To transmit and receive IR signals, connect a control device to the three-pole Over TP IR connector (G, Tx, and Rx).
NOTE: RS-232 data can be inserted via Ethernet only (see the IN1806 and IN1808 Series User Guide for details).
