MLC 206 Setup Guide, cont’d

Step 3 — Setting up projector control

Device drivers allow the MLC 206 to control projectors and other source devices via RS-232 or IR.

NIt is strongly recommended that an RS-232 control (filenameRS1.mll) file for controlling a projector be used whenever possible.

To load a driver and configure the MLC 206:

1. Start the MediaLink Control Program.

The appearance of the screens varies depending on which accessories (control modules and/or MediaLink Switcher) are connected to the MLC, as shown in the following pictures.

Choose the appropriate projector driver (filename.mll) from the on-screen menu. If the projector brand and model are not listed, check the Extron Web site to see if a new driver is available or enter user-defined RS-232 strings. See “Advanced Projector Config” in chapter 4 of the User’s Manual for details.
