Extron IN1608 xi Standard Model
Product Overview
The Extron IN1608 xi Standard is an 8-input HDCP-compliant scaling presentation switcher with four HDMI inputs, two universal 15-pin HD inputs, two DTP 330 inputs, dual HDMI outputs, and a DTP/HDBaseT output — in a 1U rack unit. It does not include an integrated amplifier or control processor and is controlled via front panel, USB, RS-232, or Ethernet. Available at Creation Networks.
Product Description
The IN1608 xi Standard 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. 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. Upgrade to the IPCP Q models for integrated AV control, or add an external Extron control processor. Available at Creation Networks.

It also serves as the base configuration when system integrators prefer to specify separate amplifiers and control processors for maximum flexibility.
