Figure 12. Mounting a LockIt Cable Lacing Bracket
1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection (see figure 12, 1).
2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the
LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it (2). The screw does not have to be removed.
3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector, then tighten
the screw to secure the bracket (3).
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing bracket as shown.
5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or a similar
tool to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length (4).
ATTENTION:
� Do not overtighten the HDMI connection mounting screw. The shield to which it is fastened is very thin and can easily be stripped.
� Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel elle est attach�e est tr�s fin et peut facilement �tre d�nud�.

ATTENTION: � Do not use Extron UTP23SF-4 Enhanced Skew-Free AV UTP cable or STP201 cable to link the device with DTP transmitters or receivers.
� N'utilisez pas le c�ble AV Skew-Free UTP version am�lior�e UTP23SF d'Extron ou le c�ble STP201 pour relier le appareil avec les �metteurs ou les r�cepteurs DTP.

Cable recommendations

Extron recommends using the following practices to achieve full transmission distances and reduce transmission errors when connecting to a remote DTP2 endpoint, XTP matrix switcher, or HDBaseT receiver:

� Use the following Extron XTP DTP 24 SF/UTP cables and connectors for the best performance:

� XTP DTP 24/1000 Non-Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool 22-236-03

� XTP DTP 24P/1000 Plenum 1000' (305 m) spool

22-235-03

� XTP DTP 24 Plug Package of 10

101-005-02

� If not using XTP DTP 24 cable, 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.

� 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.

IN1804 Seamless Scaling Switchers � Installation 18

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.

Wiring the Contact/Tally Connectors

The CONTACT/TALLY portion of the rear panel on all models contains seven sets of contact and tally captive screw connectors (numbered 1 through 7), each with two pins labeled C and T, for contact closure and tally indicator devices. The CONTACT/TALLY panel also contains a 2-pole captive screw connector with a G (ground) pin and a +V pin that provides +5 VDC power to the indicator devices connected to the tally (T) ports.
These ports can be used for triggering and feedback associated with the selected input, for contact-based input switching, and for other triggered functions such as CEC display control or video mute. Contact/Tally ports are typically used with Extron Show Me (SM) cables or with external equipment (such as the Extron CCB 30) to control IN1804 functions, depending on which Contact/Tally port is used.

connector is labeled with the number of the video input associated with it. Wire a push button or other contact closure switch to pin C (Contact) and to the shared pin G
(ground, 3).
� If using a tally indicator, connect the indicator device to the shared +V pin (5 VDC,
required for tally devices without a power supply, 4) and the T (Tally) pin.
In other words, the V+ pin of the switcher connects to the voltage in (anode) of the indicator, and the T pin connects to the tally output (cathode) of the indicator device.
NOTE: If the indicator has an internal power supply, it is not necessary to connect it to the V+ pin. It can be connected directly to the T pin of the Contact/Tally input connector.

� If using an SM cable, see Connecting Using an SM Cable on the next page.
� Ports 5 through 7 (configurable via PCS) -- (2) Wire a push button or other
contact closure switch to pin C and to the shared pin G. If using a tally indicator, connect the indicator device to the shared +V pin and the T pin.
See the IN1804 Series Help File for instructions on configuring these ports using PCS.

� Screen Saver -- Configures device behavior when no active input signal is detected. Options include a black (default) or blue screen, or a user provided logo file. Optionally, you can set a timeout to disable the output after a set duration to allow display devices (such as a display screen or projector) to enter a lower power or standby state to increase panel or lamp life.
To select the screen saver:
1. Select Screen Saver from the Advanced menu and press Enter.
2. Press the  or button to select the screen saver type. The menu selections are:
� Black (default)
� Blue with the OSD message IN1804 <model name> Input:n No Signal
� User Image -- Displays an image that has been previously uploaded to the IN1804. The location of this image on the screen can be adjusted using the OSD menu (see Logo Position on the Output submenu on page 35), SIS commands (see the Logo Horizontal Shift and Vertical Shift commands on page 68) or PCS (see the IN1804 Series PCS Help File).
3. Press Enter to confirm your selection.

To set the sync timeout:
� Select Screen Saver Timeout from the Advanced menu and press Enter.
� Press the  or  button to select the amount of time before output sync times
out. You can select a duration of 0 (timeout is immediate) to 500 seconds before the output sync times out. Select Never (the default) to set the sync to never time out.
NOTE: The IN1804 exits screen saver mode when the front panel Menu or Enter button is pressed, a video test pattern is activated, or an active input is detected.
If the unit is in front panel lock mode (see Front Panel Lockout (Executive Modes) on page 41), pressing a front panel button exits time out but access to any front panel controls or the menu system is disabled.
� INn: Aspect Ratio -- Sets the aspect ratio for the selected input to Fill (fills the entire output raster) or Follow (follows the native aspect ratio of the input).
� In fill mode, if you want to set an aspect ratio adjustment for a single input rate, you can select the correct image size and position manually from the Picture Controls submenu (Image Size and Position) (see Picture Controls Submenu on page 27).
� In follow mode, each input rate is displayed with its native aspect ratio (4:3, 5:4, 16:9, or 16:10) with the correct letter box or pillar box settings, visible under the Image Size and Image Position items on the Picture Controls submenu.
If you want a single input to fill the screen in follow mode, you can manually set the Image Position item on the Picture Controls submenu to 0,0 and set the Image Size to match the current output rate X, Y.
� INn: Auto Memory -- Enables or disables Auto Memory. When Auto Memory is set to On (default), the IN1804 stores the current input configuration and picture control values.
The switcher stores 32 auto memories per input, with input configuration and picture control data for each video resolution. The default setting enables these memories to automatically recall input and picture controls for previously applied signals. When auto memories are disabled, the switcher treats every applied signal as a new source.

IN1804 Seamless Scaling Switchers � Operation 39

However, for 4K @ 60 Hz rate only, either the input resolution or the output resolution can be at 4K @ 60, but not both. For example, the input can be 4K @ 60 Hz with a 4K @ 30 Hz output and vice versa, but both the input and output cannot be 4K @ 60 Hz. NOTE: This special condition applies only to the currently selected input. For
example, if the current input is 4K @ 30 Hz and the output is 4K @ 60 Hz, and you switch to a 4K @ 60 source, the OSD menu and logo remain visible. However, if you switch back to the 4K @ 30 input, the OSD and logo are disabled. � Factory Reset -- Resets the unit to its factory default values (removing any user-specified values) while retaining all TCP/IP settings. To reset using the OSD menu, press and hold the Enter button until Factory Reset is displayed (approximately 5 seconds). The message remains for approximately 1 minute after the reset is complete to allow time for the display device to sync with the IN1804 output. NOTE: The equivalent SIS command is E ZXXX }.

IN1804 Seamless Scaling Switchers � Operation 41

Input Presets

The IN1804 Series switchers have 128 memory slots in which you can save input presets. These presets allow a matrix switcher with multiple types of video inputs (such as an XTP) to be placed upstream from the IN1804 to expand the number of video sources.
Input presets can be saved and recalled through SIS commands (see the Presets commands on page 70) and through PCS (see the IN1804 Series PCS Help File).
� When you recall an input preset, it fills the output raster based on the sizing and positioning that it had at the time it was saved. For example, a video source that was configured to be zoomed when it was previously saved as a preset is still zoomed, even if recalled to a smaller output raster.
� Input presets can be saved based on one input rate and recalled to a different rate. This enables presets to be used as aspect ratio or other quick-sizing shortcuts. Because the size and position is saved as a percent of the raster, the preset can be recalled to any scaled output and the saved size and position are scaled proportionally on the output.
Values for the following settings are saved in input presets:

� Preset name � Audio gain and attenuation � Film mode detection � Contrast � Brightness

� Detail � Horizontal image position � Vertical image position � Horizontal image size (width) � Vertical image size (height)

OUTPUTS LAN

Saving a preset when using a matrix switcher When using the IN1804 with a matrix switcher, do the following to save a preset: 1. Switch each input of the matrix to the IN1804. 2. Configure each input: size, position, detail, brightness, and contrast. 3. Save the settings to a preset for recall by the control system when that matrix input is
routed to any IN1804 input.

Reset Modes

The IN1804 series switchers have three reset modes (numbered 1, 4, and 1 2

5). Use a small screwdriver or stylus to press and hold the recessed

Reset button on the rear panel (see 2 in the image at right) to advance

RS-232 and IR Signal Insertion
The twisted pair input and output ports allow you to insert RS-232 and IR control signals onto the same cable that carries video and audio to extend them to the Over TP port on a connected endpoint (see figure 31 on the next page, figure 32 on page 46, and figure 33 on page 47). The control signals can be inserted in the following ways:
� Ethernet to RS-232 insertion (see Ethernet to RS-232 Insertion on the next page) -- A control signal applied to the IN1804 LAN port can be routed to the RS-232 port of any connected twisted pair device. The RS-232 insert inputs and outputs inserted via Ethernet can support up to a 115K baud rate.
� Captive screw insertion (see Captive Screw IR Signal Insertion on page 46) -- (IR only) A control signal applied to the IR Over TP captive screw port is tied directly to the TP IN4 (DI and DI/DO models only) or to the TP Output 1A (DO and DI/DO models only). You must physically connect a cable to the captive screw connector where a control signal is to be inserted.

IN1804 Seamless Scaling Switchers � Operation 43

� Unidirectional RS-232 insertion via SIS commands (see Unidirectional RS-232 Insertion via SIS Commands on page 47) -- A control signal can be inserted to the RS-232 port of any connected twisted pair device via SIS commands sent to the IN1804. This method is unidirectional, meaning that the unit receives no response from the device via the TP port.

Ethernet to RS-232 Insertion

Figure 31 is an example of an Ethernet to RS-232 insertion, in which an Extron controller provides control of an HD camera via the IN1804 DI and a DTP HDMI 4K 230 transmitter.
Configure this type of insertion as follows:
1. Connect a TP cable from the control system to the LAN port, directly or via a network.
2. If necessary to match the device to be controlled, configure the port RS-232 protocol (baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits) (see RS-232 protocol on the next page ).

Port number

For Ethernet to RS-232 insertion, the insertion port number must be stated from a specific UART start point. This number is entered as the Telnet port number when you establish communication with the insertion port.

For the purposes of this discussion, consider the Ethernet insertion ports as serial (RS-232) ports. The input insertion port number is the UART start point + 1. The output insertion port number is the UART start point + 3. With the default UART start point of 2000, the input and output insertion ports are:

Input Port

Insertion Port

Output Port

Insertion Port

2003

Changing the starting point By default the UART start point is 2000. You can change the starting port number by any of the following methods: � Using the Product Configuration Software (see IN1804 Series PCS Help file) � Using SIS commands (see the Set UART start point SIS command on page 77)
RS-232 protocol You also may need to set the RS-232 protocol of the addressed port to match the connected device. You can do this using any of the following methods: � Using the Product Configuration Software (see the IN1804 Series PCS Help file). � Using SIS commands (see the Serial Port Configuration SIS commands on
page 77).

Entering SIS commands for RS-232 insertion The following SIS command enables insertion of commands into an RS-232 data stream:
E +snds X5& * X3# } <command being sent> X3# = number of characters in the command X5& = TP port number The unit sends the command when it detects that the specified number of characters (X3#) have been entered.
You can enter the SIS command through any means: Ethernet, USB, or an RS-232 connection. Any RS-232 command can be sent via this method. Typically, however, this command would be sent through an RS-232 connection to the Remote port on the IN1804.
In the following input selection example, 9 is the TP port and 13 is the number of characters in the command %1Bpoweron%0D (to select input 1):
E+snds9*13} %1Bpoweron%0D
IN1804 Seamless Scaling Switchers � Operation 47

SIS Configuration and Control
The IN1804 series switchers can be configured and controlled via Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands when connected to a host computer or other device (such as a control system). Attach the host device to the rear panel RS-232 connector or LAN connector, or to the front panel USB port. Commands can be entered using a Telnet application such as the Extron DataViewer, available at www.extron.com (see the DataViewer Help file for more details). The default protocol for the RS-232 connection is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control. This section describes SIS communication and control. Topics in this section include: � Host and Switcher Communication � SIS Overview � Command and Response Tables for IN1804 SIS Commands
Host and Switcher Communication
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the switcher determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the switcher to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more characters).
Copyright Information
The copyright message is displayed upon connecting to a switcher via TCP/IP or Telnet or after a power cycle via RS-232, and depends on the switcher model. ] (c) Copyright YYYY, Extron Electronics, IN1804 <model>, Vn.n, 60-1699-nn] Ddd, DD MMM YYYY HH:MM:SS ] (day, date, and time as in Mon, 18 Oct 2018 11:27:33) � YYYY is the year. � Vn.nn is the firmware version number. � 60-1699-nn is the model part number.
IN1804 Seamless Scaling Switchers � SIS Configuration and Control 48

Password Messages
If the IN1804 is protected by a password, the following password message prompts you for the password to access the switcher features. ]Password] The prompt requires a password, followed by a carriage return. The prompt is repeated if the correct password is not entered. � For initial setup: On the rear panel of the IN1804, a label is attached containing the
following text: Pursuant to California Senate Bill 327, the password for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial number. Passwords are case sensitive. See user guide for reset instructions.
This means that, for initial setup, you must enter the serial number of your unit at the password prompt (the serial number can be found on another label on the rear panel). This password allows administrator level access. If the correct password is entered, access is granted and the command prompt is displayed. If the password is incorrect, the ]Password] prompt reappears. NOTE: Performing a unit factory reset by entering a ZQQQ SIS command (see the
Absolute system reset SIS command on page 77) or a mode 5 reset via the rear panel Reset button (see page 43) removes the serial number password, leaving the unit with no password. � After a password change: After the initial access, you can keep the serial number password or change it. You can also set administrator and user level passwords (see the Passwords SIS commands on page 81). When you enter the new password correctly, the unit responds with one of the following, depending on the password entered: � ]Login Administrator] � ]Login User] (If the password is not accepted, the Password prompt reappears.) The Login Administrator response represents administrator level access, while the Login User response represents user level access. If the passwords are the same for both administrator and user, the unit defaults to administrator privileges. If the unit is not password-protected, it is ready to accept SIS commands immediately after it sends the copyright message.
IN1804 Seamless Scaling Switchers � SIS Configuration and Control 49

Switcher-Initiated Messages
When certain local events occur, such as a change in the status of a contact closure port, the switcher responds by sending a message to the host. No response is required from the host. The following messages may be sent:
� Reconfig] A change in the current input frequency was detected. � HplgOX@*X7)] A hot plug event was detected on output X@.
For X7): 1 = assertion, 2 = de-assertion � HdcpI X!*X4$] A change was detected in the HDCP status of input X!. � HdcpO X@*X4$] A change was detected in the HDCP status of output X@. � IN00�X6!*X6!*X6!*X6!] This message appears when a sync change (detected or
removed) occurs on any input. X6! is the video signal status for each input.
� Psav9] The unit has entered power save mode due to an internal overheating. � CntcX7%*X7^ Contact closure port X7% (1 through 7) has changed status to X7^.
See Symbol Definitions beginning on the next page for an explanation of the X variables in these messages.

Error Responses
When the switcher receives a valid command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the unit is unable to execute the command, it returns an error response to the host.

E01 -- Invalid input number E06 -- Invalid switch attempt in this mode E10 -- Invalid command E11 -- Invalid preset number E12 -- Invalid port number E13 -- Invalid parameter E14 -- Not valid for this configuration

E17 -- Invalid command for signal type E22 -- Busy E24 -- Privilege violation E25 -- Device not present E26 -- Maximum number of connections exceeded E28 -- Bad filename or File not found E33 -- Bad file type for logo

NOTES:
� In verbose response mode, the IN1804 returns unsolicited responses for value and setting changes that may result from a signal change, or a setting adjustment made via another interface.
Example: The IN1804 can send out a notice of a change in some setting without receiving a query via a PC or a control system. That change could have been a result of an internal process or a selection made via the PCS program. This is a verbose (wordy) relationship between the controller and a connected device.
� If tagged responses are enabled, all "view" commands return the command string plus the data, the same as in responses for setting a value. For example: Command: X!*\ Response: VtypX!*X#] or X#] (untagged)

Mounting

The IN1804 can be placed on a table or other furniture, mounted to a rack shelf, or mounted on or under furniture. Follow the instructions provided with the mounting kit.

Tabletop Mounting
Attach the provided rubber feet to the bottom four corners of the enclosure.

Rack Mounting
The switchers can be mounted on an optional Extron full rack shelf system, available at www.extron.com.
UL guidelines for rack mounted devices
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the safe installation of the switcher in a rack.
1. Elevated operating ambient temperature -- If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the switcher in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +122 �F, +50 �C) specified by Extron.
2. Reduced air flow -- Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical loading -- Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading -- Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) -- Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
