Extron IN1604 HDMI Scaler Firmware 1.12.0001 Description

This package provides the necessary installation files of Extron IN1604 HDMI Scaler Firmware 1.12.0001.

Fixes:

- Fixed Issue: Out of range Auto-Image SIS commands could result in the IN1604 becoming unresponsive . The IN1604 could become unresponsive after an invalid Auto-Image command is entered (for example, when ‘5A’ is entered when only ‘1A’ and ‘2A’ are valid options). The IN1604 would remain unresponsive until a power-cycle was performed. The issue has been resolved.
- Fixed Issue: Audio “popping” could occur when using an upstream Extron DTP T USW 233 or DTP T USW 333 switcher. Audio popping/crackling could occur when switching inputs on an upstream Extron switcher due to the abrupt disconnect/reconnect of live video sources. Both 1.12.0001 or newer IN1604 firmware and the latest DTP T USW 233 and DTP T USW 333 firmware may be required to fully reduce audio artifacts. The issue has been resolved.
- Fixed Issue: Audio would occasionally not pass through the IN1604. Audio occasionally would not pass through the IN1604 when connecting a new source or hot-plugging an existing source. The issue has been resolved.
- Fixed Issue: Audio information from certain HDMI sources caused the IN1604 to mute the analog audio output. When using certain HDMI sources that contained audio information in an unusual location within the audio stream, the IN1604 would mistakenly report the detection of Multi-Ch audio and mute the analog audio output. The issue has been resolved.
- Fixed Issue: Upstream switching may defeat embedded audio mute. When digital audio is outed on the output of the IN1604, switching inputs on an upstream switcher between HDMI sources with and without audio may result in audio unexpectedly unmuting. The issue has been resolved.
- Added Feature: Increased video frequency drift tolerance. Specific input sources exhibiting vertical frequency (refresh rate) drift during the transmission of live video can lead to periodic and momentary loss of video on the output of the IN1604. Increased tolerance of such frequency drift has been added to help stabilize sources that lack consistent vertical frequencies.
- Fixed Issue: HDCP Content message was still present after being disabled. When the HDCP Notification setting was adjusted from the ‘Green’ to the ‘Black’ setting, the on-screen HDCP Content message incorrectly remained visible. The issue has been resolved.
- Fixed Issue: Disabling HDCP Authorized setting of background input incorrectly muted output. When using Extron Product Configuration Software (PCS) or SIS commands to disable the HDCP Authorized setting of any non-selected input, the video output would become muted. The issue has been resolved.
- Fixed Issue: IN1604 incorrectly detected corrupt data as a valid input. When in standby mode some source devices output corrupt data; such corrupt data was incorrectly detected as a valid input signal by the IN1604. While using Auto-Switch mode in certain configurations, this issue would cause the product to constantly switch inputs to the channel with erroneous data. The issue may also have caused the On Screen Display (OSD) menu to flicker if it was on-screen while corrupt data was present on the selected input. The issue has been resolved.
- Fixed Issue: Analog input rates with pixel clocks >170MHz were unstable. Analog video sources at or above the product’s specified full sampling rate of 170MHz (pixel clock), such as 920x1200@60Hz (standard blanking), were subsampled near the hardware limits, and could become unstable. The issue has been resolved.
- Fixed Issue: Audio could not be unmuted after power cycle until after an input switch. If audio was muted prior to a power cycle, it could not be manually unmuted after the power cycle until a new input was selected. The issue has been resolved.
- Fixed Issue: Remote DTP analog audio incorrectly muted. The remote DTP analog audio 5-pole captive output would become incorrectly muted when a command to mute the embedded HDMI audio output was issued. The issue has been resolved.
- Fixed Issue: Analog audio did not properly unmute. The analog audio 5-pole captive output on the rear of the IN1604 would not unmute properly if the video and audio paths were sequentially muted and unmuted. The issue has been resolved.
- Added Feature: IN1604 now issues an unsolicited response for input signal presence changes. Firmware 1.09.0002 includes a new feature which will issue an unsolicited response in Verbose modes 1 and 3 to indicate when signal presence has changed on any of the four video inputs. This unsolicited response will be issued via RS-232 or USB connections that are set to Verbose 1 or 3, and matches the existing ESC 40stat ENTER “Input Signal Presence” query (“IN00 xxxx” where each “x” represents signal status for IN1 – IN4, where 0 = no active input and 1 = active input).
- Improved Feature: Added automatic update of DTP firmware on first boot after loading new firmware. After loading firmware v1.09.0002 the IN1604 DTP will automatically reboot and check the version of DTP firmware on the IN1604 DTP. If necessary, the DTP firmware will automatically be updated to match the latest Engineering Revision (E27846).

Installation steps:

1. From the Device drop-down menu, select Update Firmware . A dialog box opens to ask permission to disconnect from the device.
2. Click the Continue button to disconnect from the device and continue with the firmware update process. The Update Firmware dialog box opens.
3. Click the Browse button.

5. Click the Open button.
6. In the Update Firmware dialog box, click the Update button.

About HDMI Scaler Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
