MLC 104 IP Plus Series

Description (continued)

The MLC 104 IP Plus is designed to work with almost every Extron switcher, including MediaLink Switchers, which are specifically designed to complement MediaLink Controllers. MediaLink Switchers are available to accommodate a variety of video, RGBHV, and audio signals while providing unique features that expand A/V system capabilities. The MLC 104 IP Plus can also work as a stand-alone device to control a display without the aid of a switcher.

IP Link Ethernet Control

The MLC 104 IP Plus is equipped with Extron's IP Link, a high performance intelligent network integration solution specifically engineered to meet the needs of professional A/V environments

—from small K-12 classrooms to large universities and businesses. GlobalViewer, a free Web- based asset management and remote control software application, is specifically designed

GlobalViewer provides the real-time status of connected devices. Information such as connection status, power state, and current input selection is displayed in a central location. For many connected devices, technicians can toggle power on or off, switch sources, control volume, and more without leaving their office. Many common problems can be resolved without a trip to where the equipment is located.

•Theft alerts — IP Link-enabled products are always on and routinely poll their attached devices for status information. If any serially controlled device, such as a projector

or plasma display, is physically disconnected from the network, the MLC 104 IP Plus monitoring its status will know immediately. In such an event, it can send an e-mail message notifying security personnel of the possible theft. For fast action, e-mails can be sent to multiple addresses including cell phones and wireless PDAs.

to work with products that include IP Link technology. It facilitates key asset management functions including:

•Proactive maintenance — GlobalViewer can store and display information about connected devices like serial numbers, owner identification, maintenance history, and installed firmware versions. This centralized data can be collected and used to reduce maintenance costs and guide future purchasing decisions. For instance, a projector can be polled routinely to track lamp usage and total life time. When lamp usage reaches a predetermined number of hours, the MLC 104 IP Plus can send a report via e-mail.

•Event scheduling — GlobalViewer uses the real-time clock and calendar in

IP Link-enabled devices to maximum value. User-defined tasks are easy to configure and schedule with GlobalViewer and don't require high-level programming skills. For instance, an administrator may want to turn off all projectors every Friday at close of business.

•Remote technical support — Technicians can troubleshoot systems remotely because

Data Logger

Data Logger is a free Microsoft® Excel®-based spreadsheet application that allows administrators to automatically gather up-to-date lamp hour and usage statistics for multiple rooms of A/V equipment. It provides a simple, convenient way to retrieve A/V system usage statistics into a single document for data analysis, collecting critical system information such as frequency of usage for each front panel input and current lamp hours of connected projectors.
