Device Drivers

In order for the MLC 52 to control a switcher, projector, or other display device via IR or RS-232 communication, it must have drivers loaded for the devices it will control. Drivers can be obtained in the following ways:

•IR or an RS-232 driver files can be installed from a disc, downloaded at www.extron.com, or downloaded from Extron via the driver subscription feature within the MLC 52 configuration program.

The drivers are saved on your computer in a folder located at C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86)\Extron\Driver2. You can then upload the desired drivers to the MLC via the MLC 52 configuration software.

•IR commands can be captured from the IR remote control of a device through

IR Learning or IR data transfer to create a driver. When a driver is created, it can be added to the configuration program so that the commands can be used to configure the MLC to control the device (see Configuring the MLC 52 Using IR on page 15).

System Requirements

The minimum PC system requirements for installing the configuration software are:

•Intel® Pentium® III 750 MHz processor

•Microsoft® Windows® XP or higher

•Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 or higher

•128 MB of RAM

•50 MB of available hard disk space
