About this Guide

This guide discusses how to install, connect, and operate the Extron SCP 104 and SCP 226 System Control Panels.

Throughout this guide, the terms “SCP 104/226,” “SCP,” and “control panel” are used interchangeably to refer to these products.

About the SCP 104 and SCP 226 System Control Panels

The Extron SCP 104 and SCP 226 System Control Panels are hard-wired remote control panels that operate with the Extron MLC 104 IP Plus and MLC 226 IP MediaLink® Controllers and with the System 5 IP Series switchers. All SCP models replicate all of the MLC 104 and 226 models and most of the System 5 IP front panel controls. The SCP provides an economical means of controlling devices from multiple locations in a room. For example, a presenter could have control from a lectern at the front of the room, while at the same time another person is able to control the same devices from the back of the room.

The SCP panels have bidirectional communication with the MLCs and the System 5 switchers; therefore, any changes on one panel are reflected on the other. The SCP 104 AAP and SCP 226 AAP provide spaces for the addition of optional architectural adapter plates (AAPs\, relay control modules (RCMs\, or IR control modules (IRCMs\.

NOTE: The MediaLink Controller or System 5 IP switcher

cannot be configured from the SCP control panels.

All device setup must be done from the MediaLink

Controllers (see the MLC 104/MLC 226 or the System 5 IP user guide to set up the control device\.
