DESCRIPTION

The Extron MLC 104 IP Plus MediaLink Controller with built-in IP Link Ethernet Control is an easy-to-use control panel for any small classroom or meeting room. It is designed to control a wide range of smaller A/V systems and enables Web-based remote diagnostics, asset management, and support. The MLC 104 IP Plus standardizes the control interface for all systems, making both projector-based and switcher-based systems simple to use. Standardization also makes setup and maintenance easier to support.

The flexible MLC 104 IP Plus acts as an extended remote control panel. It is not a switcher; instead, as a controller, it tells the projector or switcher when to switch between its various inputs. Presenters with little or no training can walk into any multimedia classroom equipped with the MLC 104 IP Plus and operate the A/V system. The MLC 104 IP Plus includes universal display control for a display's power, input switching, and volume control. The MLC 104 IP Plus features backlit buttons that can be custom-labeled for easy identification. The illuminated buttons are helpful for presenters in low-light environments.

The MLC 104 IP Plus is also capable of learning IR commands for centralized control of external source devices, such as DVD players and VCRs, when used with an optional IRCM - Infrared Control Module.

Especially vital for high traffic areas, the MLC 104 IP Plus is housed in a secure two-gang enclosure. It has the same look and functionality regardless of where it is mounted: a lectern, desk, wall, rack, or wall box.

Easy System Configuration using Global Configurator Software

The MLC 104 IP Plus can be fully configured using Extron's Global Configurator software. Extron creates and administers a wide selection of drivers for use with the MLC 104 IP Plus. Drivers enable the MLC 104 IP Plus to control basic display functions such as power, input selection, and volume adjustment. Users can customize drivers or go to the Extron Web site to download RS-232 or IR drivers compatible with the latest and most popular display and source devices. Global Configurator also adds support for GlobalViewer®, a free Web-based asset management and remote control software application specifically designed to work with products that include IP Link technology.
