Introduction

M L C 5 2

Extron MLC 52 RS EU and MLC 52 RS VC EU MediaLink Controllers are economical control panels ideally suited for conference room or classroom A/V systems. Each model fits in a standard two-gang European junction box and offers IR control and unidirectional RS-232 control. The MLC 52 RS VC EU adds an integrated volume control knob for use with any Extron power amplifier or preamplifier with a remote volume control port. By providing easy input selection, power, and volume control, these controllers make classroom A/V operations simple. Both models are available in a RAL9010 white or brushed aluminum finish to complement a wide range of environments.

Consistent A/V Control in Every Room

Each MLC 52 controller acts as an extended remote control panel, providing user-friendly control for a display’s power, volume, and input selection. Because the MLC 52 offers a central point of control for a display device’s key functions, it eliminates the need for the display’s handheld IR remote control, making operations much more efficient. With the MLC 52, there are no misplaced remotes to search for, no confusing menus to navigate through, and no dead batteries to replace.

No matter what brand of display is installed in each presentation venue, MLC 52 MediaLink Controllers always provide a consistent control method from room to room. Presenters with little or no training can walk into any MediaLink equipped classroom and operate the A/V system with ease.

Configurable Buttons for Flexible Control Options

The MLC 52 MediaLink Controllers are easy to confi gure and no programming is required to make them work. Each MLC 52 features six buttons that can be confi gured to control almost any function of the projector, such as selecting an input, controlling the volume, muting the picture, or switching it on and off. Using the intuitive setup software provided, these buttons can be confi gured to send out any IR or RS-232 command supported by the projector, making it easy to customize the controller to meet the needs of single-display A/V systems.

Each button can store up to four separate commands, providing additional fl exibility to meet the specifi c control requirements for most display devices. When a button is confi gured for Macro mode, all of the stored commands associated with that button can be sent with the press of a single button. In Toggle mode, the button steps through a series of two, three, or four commands, issuing a single command with each press of the button.

Free Projector Drivers

Extron creates and administers a wide selection of commonly used projector control drivers. These IR and serial RS-232 drivers allow MediaLink Controllers to communicate with a display device. They enable control of basic projector functions such as power, input selection, and volume adjustment. Go to the Extron Web site at www.extron.com to download drivers for the latest and most popular projectors.

Three Easy Ways to Configure

The MLC 52 enables integrators to choose any of three methods when configuring the controllers. When used with the supplied Windows®-based configuration software, installation files can be saved and used to duplicate additional MLC 52 controllers. The files can also be archived for later use.

•Simple configuration wizard - Experience fast and simple setup within minutes using the front panel configuration port, supplied software, and the PC’s RS-232 port. Quickly allocate a function to a button just by dragging the command to the desired button.

•IR learning - Set up the MLC 52 directly by beaming commands from the IR remote to the MLC 52, without the need for software and a PC.

•IR beaming - Setting up multiple controllers with the same configuration is made easy with IR beaming. Simply beam the complete configuration from one MLC 52 controller to another controller, without using any cable or software.

Convenient EU Size

The MLC 52 RS EU Series controllers were designed to fit the standard two-gang

(MLC 52 RS EU) or 2-gang (MLC 52 RS VC EU) European junction box.
