New Redundancy Features Provide Always‑On Dependability For Extron VCA 100

Anaheim, California (May 6, 2026) - The VCA 100 Virtual Control Appliance has been updated with features that bring powerful new capabilities to the platform. The new redundancy feature enables a backup VCA 100 to automatically take over in the event of a system failure, creating a high-availability virtual control system. Redundancy adds an additional layer of protection to this already reliable platform. In addition, enhanced alarm reporting sends email alerts to support staff when any condition triggers an alarm in the redundant system.

“From the start, the VCA 100 was engineered as a long-term platform built to evolve,” says Rainer Stiehl, Vice President of Marketing at Extron Europe. “With this update, we’re strengthening system resilience through redundancy and simpler day-to-day management, along with additional enhancements. Because our firmware is developed internally, we can adapt quickly as requirements change—helping customers protect their investment and get sustained value from their VCA 100 hardware.”

The Extron VCA 100 is a Virtual Control Appliance with integrated Virtual Control Processors (VCPs) designed for centralized AV control across the organization. The VCA 100 includes five VCPs, and organizations can use LinkLicenses to enable up to 30 IPCP Pro xi virtual control processors, providing scalable control for the enterprise without recurring licensing fees. Easily deploy these VCPs on your network, then add as many traditional control ports and user interfaces as needed by integrating control system expansion interfaces, TouchLink^® Pro touchpanels, and Network Button Panels. Organizations will value the benefits of virtual control systems that are easy and fast to deploy, scale, and centrally manage. The VCA 100 is an ideal choice for controlling AV devices with an IT‑friendly solution.
