Product Overview

The Extron IN1608 xi IPCP Q SA LL is an 8-input HDCP-compliant scaling presentation switcher combining four HDMI inputs, two universal 15-pin HD inputs, two DTP 330 inputs, an integrated 2×50 W stereo Class D power amplifier (50 W/ch @ 4 Ω; 25 W/ch @ 8 Ω) with CDRS Ripple Suppression, the IPCP Pro 355MQ xi quad-core control processor (2 GB RAM, 8 GB Flash) with an isolated 3-port AV LAN switch, dual HDMI outputs, and a DTP/HDBaseT output — in a 2U rack unit. The LinkLicense User Interfaces upgrade is pre-installed, enabling any mobile device or computer on the network to serve as the AV control interface without per-user licensing fees. Available at Creation Networks.

Product Description

The IN1608 xi IPCP Q routes eight inputs — four local HDMI, two universal 15-pin HD (configurable for RGB, HDTV, component, S-video, or composite), and two DTP 330 remote inputs on RJ-45 — to three simultaneous outputs: two local HDMI and one DTP or HDBaseT (configurable). The DTP output extends HDMI, analog audio, RS-232, and IR signals up to 330 feet over shielded CATx to DTP receivers and remote displays; it also powers select DTP endpoints over the same cable.

The scaling engine delivers 30-bit precision processing with motion-adaptive deinterlacing up to 1080i, selectable FILL/FOLLOW aspect ratio modes, and Auto-Image for automatic source optimization. Eight-input audio switching, two mic/line inputs with 48V phantom power, mic ducking, HDMI audio embedding/de-embedding, and audio breakaway provide comprehensive audio integration. The integrated 2×50 W stereo Class D power amplifier (50 W/ch @ 4 Ω; 25 W/ch @ 8 Ω) with CDRS Ripple Suppression drives direct-connect speaker loads. The AV LAN switch isolates AV device traffic from the corporate network and supports TouchLink Pro touchpanels, eBUS button panels, and BYOD mobile control via LinkLicense. Available at Creation Networks.
