The MLC 62 IR D has only an IR port, which is used for IR communication only.
IR and
•Relays (RS models) — Two relay ports enable control of room devices such as lights, motorized screens, and projector lifts.
•Digital Input (RS models) — A Digital Input port enables monitoring of a switch or sensor to control devices.
•IR Learning — The MLC can be configured by IR learning, using the remote control of a switcher or display device to create an IR driver that enables the MLC to control the device.
•USB configuration port — The MLC can be configured via a USB mini B port, located on the front or side panel (depending on the model). This port can also temporarily provide power to the MLC during configuration.
•Volume adjustment:
•The MLC 62 models have individual Volume Up and Down buttons for audio level control, with five LEDs that indicate current audio settings.
•The MLC 64 has a volume control module with an analog potentiometer knob to control the audio level for an Extron amplifier that is enabled for remote volume control. The volume control module also contains a Mute button for muting and unmuting the audio (this button cannot be reprogrammed).
NOTE: Only Extron amplifiers can be controlled via the MLC 64 volume
control module.
•Macro capability — Each button can be configured to execute multiple actions through the serial or IR control ports. For example, a button can be configured so that a single press triggers commands to turn on a display, select the RGB input of the display, and trigger a relay.
•Toggling — Buttons can be placed in toggle mode, which adds flexibility by enabling two different sets of commands to be executed with alternating presses of the button.
•
•Inactivity timer for display shutoff — An adjustable timer controls automatic shutdown after a specified period of inactivity.
•Front panel security lockout — If the MLC is installed in an unsecured environment where easy access is not desirable, a security lockout feature can be implemented to lock out all front panel controls.
•Activity LED — A small LED at the top of the MLC front panel lights red, green, or amber to indicate button presses, data transfer, front panel lockout, and other actions.
•Section 508 Compliant — The MLC meets or exceeds accessibility standards for Electronic Information Technology. For more information about the Extron Commitment to Accessibility, see the Extron Accessibility web page at www.extron.com/company/article.aspx?id=accessibility.
