Extron RS-232 and IR Control remote control IR Wireless/Wired AV switch Press buttons

The Extron MLC 55 RS MediaLink Controller is an economical, easy-to-use keypad controller for common AV functions such as power, input selection, and volume in single display applications. It features a sleek, new look with beveled edges, rounded corners, and redesigned backlit buttons. The faceplate hides the mounting screws and configuration port, giving the controller a refined, uncluttered appearance. The MLC 55 RS can be mounted in a standard, one-gang junction box, included mud ring, SMB 111 Surface Mount Box, or EWB 101 External Wall Box, allowing the controller to be installed virtually anywhere, including walls, lecterns, or tables. The controller can be configured using the Extron MLC 55,62,64 Series software. The MLC 55 RS is available in white.

Simple, Consistent Control in Every Room
The MLC 55 RS acts as an extended remote control panel, providing user-friendly control for a display's power, input selection, and volume. Because the controller offers a central point of control for a display devices key functions, it eliminates the need for the display's IR remote control, making operations much more efficient. With the MLC 55 RS, there are no misplaced remotes to search for, no confusing menus to navigate, and no dead batteries. No matter what brand of display is installed in each presentation venue, the MLC 55 RS MediaLink Controller always provides a consistent control method from room to room. Presenters with little or no training can walk into any room equipped with a MediaLink controller and operate the AV system with minimal effort.

Configurable Buttons for Flexible Control Options
No programming knowledge is necessary to install the MLC 55 RS MediaLink Controller. The four lower buttons default to Volume Up, Volume Down, Select PC Input, and Select Video Input. Using MLC 55,62,64 Series configuration software these buttons can be configured to send out any RS-232 or IR command supported by the display, making it easy to customize the controller to meet the needs of most single-display AV systems. For example, three of the four buttons could be configured for input selection, with the fourth button dedicated to video mute or auto image. Each button can store up to four separate commands, providing additional flexibility to meet the specific control requirements for most display devices. When a button is configured for Macro mode, all of the stored commands associated with that button are sent with a single button press. 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.
