IPL 250The Extron IPL 250 is an Ethernet control processor for
use as part of a TouchLink Serial portsThe IPL 250 features three bidirectional RS-232 ports. When configured for pass-through mode, the IPL 250 can pass through commands from an existing control system without losing the ability to communicate with the A/V device. IR capabilityThe IPL 250 includes four fully programmable IR ports.
Each IR port can output IR signals with or without the carrier signal
using a wired IR emitter or through an IR broadcaster. IR control data
can be collected and stored in two ways: IR data
file download and IR learning. Extron maintains
a vast library of IR data files that can be Contact closure and relaysFour contact closure inputs interface with other systems in the room and provide a connection to a variety of devices, such as sensors, switches, and relays. In addition, the IPL 250 contains four relays for controlling screens, projectors, lights, security gates, and more. |
IPL T PC1 (120 VAC)IPL T PC1i (220 VAC)The Extron IPL T PC1 and IPL T PC1i AC Power and Device Controllers with IP Link feature a single AC power outlet, RS-232, an IR output and a contact closure input. Both models include Extron IP Link technology, enabling flexible, centralized, web-based power and device management. The IPL T PC1 supplies up to 10 A of 120 VAC power, using
an Edison outlet. The IPL T PC1i supplies up to Web-based A/V device management is further enhanced by the RS-232 and IR ports, which can be used to remotely control the operation of a DVD player, VCR, or display. The contact closure input port can detect a switch closure.
A monitor can be set that triggers an action, such as The IPL T PC1 and IPL T PC1i are easily integrated alongside
other IP Link products and can be remotely managed and controlled using
the free GlobalViewer The integration of AC power control with device control in a single enclosure makes IPL T PC1 Series controllers ideal for a wide variety of remote networked applications. |
IPL T PCS4 (120 VAC)IPL T PCS4i (220 VAC)The IPL T PCS4 Series Four Port Power Control and Current Sensors offer centralized power management for up to four AC outlets. The IPL T PCS4 features four 120 VAC Edison outlets with a maximum 10 amp load, while an international version, the IPL T PCS4i, features four 220 VAC IEC power outlets, also with a maximum 10 amp load. Both models feature Extron IP Link technology, enabling flexible, centralized, web-based power management. The IPL T PCS4 Series allows administrators to remotely control individual outlets and assign outlets to groups for simultaneous control and monitoring of multiple outlets. Outlets can be turned on or off manually or scheduled for automatic operation. For event logging and record keeping, the IPL T PCS4 can be programmed to send out an e-mail notification as each scheduled on/off event is performed. The IPL T PCS4 Series also features intelligent current
sensing. Thresholds can be set to define full power and standby states
for individual devices, and user-configurable alarms can be triggered
when a threshold is reached or a change is detected. Users can view the
immediate status of all connected devices and determine at a glance whether
a device is drawing full current, in a standby state, or not drawing any
current at all. When power is restored following an outage, the IPL T PCS4 Series powers up devices in a specific sequence rather than all at once to avoid tripping breakers. This prevents power surges at startup. When the IPL T PCS4 restarts, outlets are powered up sequentially with a user-configurable delay between each one. The internal memory of the IPL T PCS4 ensures that only those devices that were on before the outage are restarted. |

Media Presentation SwitchersMPS 112MPS 112CSThe Extron MPS 112 Media Presentation Switcher merges four independent switchers in a single enclosure:
Note: The MPS 112 and MPS 112CS are configurable in Global Configurator only when they are enabled by selecting the Enable MPS 112 check box on the Front Panel tab of a System 5 IP device (see the Enable MPS 112 subsection of "Front Panel Tab" for more information). |
System 5 IPSystem 5 IP with AmplifierThe Extron System 5 IP is a five input, one output integrated A/V active switcher that provides an all-in-one, affordable solution for single projector A/V installations in classrooms, boardrooms, conference rooms, and multimedia environments. It includes such features as configurable inputs, easy-to-use IR learning, customized display control via RS-232, relays for room control, an integrated 40-watt, rms, audio amplifier, and IP Link Ethernet monitoring and control. Universal projector controlThe System 5 IP offers two methods of projector control: RS-232 or IR. The switcher can learn IR signals from remote controls. This enables the switcher to communicate with the display and sources such as VCRs and DVD players. IR learning makes setup and operation simple and customizable. Virtually any RS-232 controllable projector or display device can be used with the System 5 IP. Extron creates and administers a wide selection of commonly used projector control drivers that enable the System 5 IP to control basic projector functions such as power and input selection. Users can create their own drivers or go to the Extron web site to download RS-232 drivers configured for the latest and most popular projectors. In addition, a custom configuration mode is available to allow for user-defined IR or RS-232 commands. Room controlThe System 5 IP also offers room control capability, so that room lighting, screen settings, and other device functions can be controlled through the six internal relays of the switcher. By providing projector control, room control, universal compatibility with displays, and system audio capabilities, the System 5 IP consolidates functions that would typically require up to six different products into one integrated solution. Fixed and variable preamp line level outputsThe System 5 IP provides fixed and variable line level audio outputs on captive screw connectors for use with an external amplifier or self-powered speakers. Fixed audio outputs are especially effective when used with external mixers, amplifiers, and assistive listening devices. Variable audio outputs enable the audio signal levels to be adjusted using the volume control on the switcher. Integrated stereo audio amplifierThe System 5 IP is available with or without an internal 40-watt audio amplifier, 2 x 20 watts rms, to drive 4 or 8 ohm speakers. The unit can also be set for dual mono mode where it sums the left and right input signals together and drives the same mono signal to both the left and right outputs. IP Link Ethernet controlThe System 5 IP is equipped with Extron IP Link technology, an IP integration technology specifically engineered to meet the needs of professional A/V environments from small K-12 classrooms to large universities and businesses. IP Link provides these advantages:
Control optionsSystem switcher control is provided via the front panel backlit buttons, the optional IR 402 remote control, or optional SCP 104 and SCP 226 System Control Panels. The front panel backlit input buttons of the System 5 IP can be individually labeled to ensure precise identification of video and audio input settings. Additionally, the front panel includes buttons for display functions such as power, mute, video modes, and room controls such as lowering or raising a display screen or powering lights on or off. As a simplified and cost-effective option, the System 5 IP is also offered without front panel controls, but still provides the front panel 15-pin HD input connector for RGBHV. The optional IR 402 remote, SCP 104, and SCP 226 System
