* Auto-switching between inputs — Auto-switching allows for simple, unmanaged installation in locations such as in a lectern or under a conference table. When multiple inputs are active, the switching priority is configurable.
* HDMI audio embedding — Analog input audio signals can be embedded onto the HDMI output signal.
* HDMI audio de-embedding — Embedded HDMI two-channel PCM audio can be extracted to the analog outputs, or bitstream formats can be passed to the HDMI outputs.
* Selectable output rates from 640x480 to 1920x1200, including HDTV 1080p/60 and 2K — Available output rates include computer video up to 1920x1200, HDTV rates up to 1080p/60, and 2K.
* Advanced scaling engine with 30-bit processing and 1080i deinterlacing — Image scaling and video format conversion are performed at 30-bit precision for enhanced color accuracy and picture detail. High performance deinterlacing for 1080i signals from HD sources delivers optimized image quality.
* HDCP compliant — Ensures display of content-protected media and interoperability with other HDCP-compliant devices.
* User-selectable HDCP authorization — Allows individual inputs to appear HDCP compliant or non-HDCP compliant to the connected source, which is beneficial if the source automatically encrypts all content when connected to an HDCP-compliant device. Protected material is not passed in non-HDCP mode.
* Supported HDMI specification features include data rates up to 6.75 Gbps, Deep Color, and HD lossless audio formats
* Key Minder® continuously verifies HDCP compliance for quick, reliable switching — Key Minder authenticates and maintains continuous HDCP encryption between input and output devices to ensure quick and reliable switching in professional AV environments, while enabling simultaneous distribution of a single source signal to one or more displays.
* EDID Minder® automatically manages EDID communication between connected devices — EDID Minder ensures that all sources power up properly and reliably output content for display.
* SpeedSwitch® Technology provides exceptional switching speed for HDCP-encrypted content
* Output muting control — Provides the capability to mute one or all outputs at any time. This allows content to be viewed on a local monitor prior to appearing on the main presentation display.
* Aspect ratio control — The aspect ratio of the video output can be controlled by selecting a FILL mode, which provides a full screen output, or a FOLLOW mode, which preserves the original aspect ratio of the input signal.
* HDCP authentication and signal presence confirmation — Provides real‑time verification of HDCP status for each digital video input and output. This allows for simple, quick, and easy signal and HDCP verification through front panel LEDs, RS‑232, USB, or Ethernet, providing valuable feedback to a system operator or helpdesk support staff.
* HDCP Visual Confirmation provides a green signal when encrypted content is sent to a non‑compliant display — A full‑screen green signal is sent when HDCP‑encrypted content is transmitted to a non‑HDCP compliant display, providing immediate visual confirmation that protected content cannot be viewed on the display.
* HDMI to DVI Interface Format Correction — Automatically enables or disables embedded audio and InfoFrames, and sets the correct color space for proper connection to HDMI and DVI displays.
* Seamless switching — Seamless cut through black and fade through black transition effects are available to enhance presentations by eliminating distractions during switching.
* Image freeze control — A live image can be frozen using RS-232 serial control, USB, or Ethernet control.
* Auto-Image™ setup — When activated, the unit automatically optimizes the image by analyzing and adjusting to the video input signal. This can save time and effort in setting up a newly connected source, particularly in presentation environments where different guest presenter laptops with various output resolutions will be connected.
* Auto Input Memory — When activated, the unit automatically stores size, position, and picture settings based on the incoming signal. When the same signal is detected again, these image settings are automatically recalled from memory.
* On-screen menus — Intuitive on-screen menus allow for easy system setup using the front panel controls. Key parameters such as input and output video formats and resolutions are conveniently grouped on the initial Quick Setup screen, while additional screens provide full control over the unit's other functions and settings.
* Output Standby Mode — The unit can be set to automatically mute video and sync output to the display device when no active input signal is detected. This allows the projector or flat-panel display to automatically enter into standby mode to save energy and enhance lamp or panel life.

* Internal video test patterns and pink noise generator for calibration and setup — The unit offers several video test patterns and audio pink noise to facilitate proper system setup and calibration of display devices.
* Output volume control — Provides volume control for the audio outputs. Analog audio outputs can be balanced or unbalanced and are available as stereo or independently mixed mono.
* Audio input gain and attenuation — Gain or attenuation can be adjusted for each analog input to eliminate noticeable differences when switching between sources.
* Audio breakaway — Provides the capability to break an analog audio signal away from its corresponding video signal and route to the audio outputs, allowing the analog audio channels to be operated as a separate switcher.
* Audio switching transitions — The audio output level automatically ramps down and then ramps up to match the video during switching transitions.
* Integrated audio delay — The audio output is automatically delayed to compensate for latency introduced by the video processing.
* Automatic clip limiter — Detects onset of clipping, automatically reducing gain to eliminate clipping and thereby protecting speakers and amplifiers from distortion.
* Advanced audio configuration — The IN1606 offers complete control of audio input and output gain, attenuation, mixing, and ducking parameters via a user-friendly GUI.
* Front panel security lockout — This feature locks out all front panel functions except for input selection; all functions however, are available through Ethernet, USB, or RS-232 control.
