About This Guide

This guide provides detailed information and best practice recommendations about cabling and configuring the Extron MLC 60 Series MediaLink Controllers. It provides reference information about specifications, dimensions, and programming of the controllers.

Throughout this guide the general terms “MLC” and “controller” are used interchangeably to refer to any MLC 60 Series controller. “MLC D models” applies to the MLC 62 RS D, MLC 62 IR D, and the MLC 64 RS VC D. “MLC 62” applies to all MLC 60 Series models except the MLC 64.

About the MLC 60 Series MediaLink Controllers

The Extron MLC 60 Series MediaLink Controllers are panels that control a wide range of audio/video systems in any classroom, meeting facility, or auditorium via RS-232 or IR. They act as extended remote control panels, featuring eight (optionally six) labeled backlit buttons for the MLC 62 models or six for the MLC 64 RS VC D. These buttons can be configured via the MLC Windows®-based configuration software to control power, input switching, and volume on a display device or switcher. If desired, you can replace these buttons with ones having different labels, which also are provided with the controller.

The MLC 64 RS VC D model has, in addition to the configurable buttons, a volume control module containing an analog volume control knob and a Mute button. An Extron amplifier can be connected to this module for volume control via the MLC.

All models can control a projector, display, or switcher via IR. In addition, the MLC 62 RS models can control display devices, switchers, and various other items such as lights, a projector lift, or a motorized screen via RS-232, IR, relays, or digital input.

The MLC controllers are housed in secure, compact, one-gang and two-gang sized enclosures, which can be mounted on a wall or furniture, with or without an electrical junction box or mounting bracket.
