Extron’s new IN1606 is a six-input, HDCP-compliant video scaler that includes four HDMI inputs, two universal analog video inputs (component video, VGA and composite video), and two simultaneous HDMI outputs. This is THE PERFECT switcher for any and all classroom and most meeting room installs. It features what Extron calls an advanced video scaling engine with 1080i deinterlacing and Deep Color processing to output resolutions up to 1920×1200 and 2K (2048×1080). Enhanced audio features include six stereo inputs, fixed and variable stereo outputs, two mic/line inputs with ducking and 48 V phantom power, plus HDMI audio embedding and de-embedding and control options including Ethernet, RS232 and USB.

The IN1606 features Extron’s SpeedSwitch technology that allows for fast switching speed for HDCP-encrypted content. EDID Minder and Key Minder automatically manage EDID communication and HDCP key negotiation between input and output devices and real-time HDCP status verification, offering valuable feedback to system operators and helpdesk support staff.
