Extron Introduces MediaLink® Controller with Contemporary New Design

Anaheim, California (28 July 2009) - Extron Electronics is pleased to introduce the MLC 62 RS EU MediaLink® Controller, an elegant keypad controller with backlit soft touch buttons offering a contemporary look and feel for classroom and meeting room AV systems. The controller is designed for mounting in a one-gang European junction box and provides eight configurable buttons for control of common AV system operations, including power on, power off, volume up, volume down, and input source selection. The new controller can be configured with IR learning or Extron's easy-to-use configuration software and extensive library of ready-to-use, certified device drivers. The USB port provides fast and simple configuration using a laptop or desktop PC. The controller serves as a replacement for a display's handheld IR remote, providing user-friendly control for a display or projector.

"Like the previous MLC 52 Series, the new MLC 62 RS EU controller provides a simple method of AV control, but now includes expanded control and configuration capabilities," says Jeff Gibson, Vice President of International Sales and Marketing for Extron. "In addition, the backlit soft touch buttons provide an elegant look that will complement any environment."

The MLC 62 RS EU offers a unidirectional RS-232 port and an IR port for universal display control, two relays for controlling screens and lights, and a digital input for interfacing with switches and sensors. The controller is available in RAL9010 White and a matching cover frame is included.
