Configuring Extron Presentation Switchers

This guide explains how to configure Extron IN16xx Series switchers within Space CE. These devices are classified as a Switcher type and require input switches to function properly through AV Sources configuration.

Supported Models and Inputs

The Extron IN16xx Series includes two models with different input capabilities.

ModelSupported Inputs
Extron IN1608Inputs 1 to 8

Only the specified input numbers above are valid for each model. Other options appearing in the configuration dropdown should be ignored, as they do not apply to these devices.

Configuration Method

To control these switchers, define Input Switches under the AV Sources section. The dropdown menu presents various input options. Select only those matching your device’s actual physical ports.
