IN1804 Seamless Scaling Switchers • Introduction 6
• Front panel security lockout — This feature locks out all front panel functions. All
functions, however, are available through Ethernet, USB, or RS-232 control.
• Ethernet monitoring and control — Enables control and proactive monitoring over a
LAN or WAN.
• Built-in web pages — Enables the use of a standard browser for device monitoring
and troubleshooting over an intuitive web interface.
• RS-232 control port — Enables the use of serial commands for integration into
a control system. Extron products use the Simple Instruction Set (SIS) command

• Contact closure remote control with tally output — Contact closure ports enable
remote video input selection control, while tally outputs provide +5 VDC to illuminate
LEDs for video input identification. The contact and tally ports may be configured for
independent use when the IN1804 is connected to an external control processor.
• Compatible with Teamwork Show Me Cables — Show Me cables provide
convenient connectivity and user input selection and control for TeamWork
Collaboration Systems.
• Front panel USB configuration port — Enables easy system configuration without
having to access the rear panel.
• Front panel LED indicators for signal presence, HDCP status, and power —
Provides visual indication of system status for real-time feedback and monitoring of key
performance parameters.
• Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS) — The PCS program enables
configuration of multiple products using a single software application.
• Compact 1U, half rack width metal enclosure — The half rack width enclosure
can be mounted under furniture using the UTS Series Under Table Shelf System or
MBU 123 Low Profile Mount Kit, available separately.
• Includes LockIt HDMI cable lacing brackets
• Internal Extron Everlast power supply — Provides worldwide power compatibility,
with high-demonstrated reliability and low power consumption for reduced operating
cost. The Extron Everlast Power Supply is covered by a 7-year parts and labor warranty.
Control Methods
Control the IN1804 series switchers using one or more of the following methods:
• The front panel controls and the on-screen display (OSD) menu (see Using the
On-Screen Menu System on page 22).
• A computer, a touch screen panel, or any other device that sends and receives
serial communications through the USB, RS-232, or Ethernet port. Use the Extron
DataViewer utility on the computer to enter SIS commands (see SIS Configuration
and Control beginning on page 48).
• The Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS) on a computer with a Windows
®
operating system (see Configuration Software beginning on page 82 and the IN1804
Series PCS Help File).
• Internal web pages, providing a web browser-based interface for monitoring the
switcher from a computer over a LAN network (see Internal Web Page beginning on
page 92).
