DESCRIPTION

MOUNTING OPTIONS

n Front panel conﬁguration port – Advanced conﬁguration, driver

downloads, and ﬁrmware updates can be performed via the front

panel conﬁguration panel without removing the controller from its

installed location. The optional Extron CFG Cable

(Part # 70-335-01) connects the MLC 52 to the PC’s RS-232 port.

n Inactivity timer for display shut-off – Adjustable timer control

provides automatic shutdown to preserve energy, prevent plasma

burn-in, or extend projector lamp life.

n Front panel security lockout – If the MLC 52 IR or MLC 52 RS is

installed in an unsecured environment where easy access is not

desirable, a security lockout feature may be implemented to lock

out all the front panel controls.

n High-impact plastic mounting faceplates – The MLC 52 IR and

MLC 52 RS each come with two one-gang, high-impact plastic

mounting faceplates (one in black, one in white) durable enough

for demanding environments.

The Extron MLC 52 IR and MLC 52 RS Basic MediaLink

™

Controllers

are economical control panels for any classroom environment. Each

model comes with a black and white faceplate and offers IR control,

while the MLC 52 RS also includes unidirectional RS-232 projector

control. By providing easy input selection, power, and volume control

these controllers make classroom A/V operations simple.

Simple, Consistent Control in Every Room

Each MLC 52 Series controller acts as an extended remote control

panel, providing user-friendly control for a projector’s power, volume,

and input selection. Because the MLC 52 IR and MLC 52 RS offer

a central point of control for a display device’s key functions, they

eliminate the need for the display’s IR remote control, making

operations much more efﬁcient. With the MCL 52 IR and MCL 52 RS,

there are no misplaced remotes to search for, no confusing menus to

navigate, and no dead batteries. No matter what brand of projector

is installed in each presentation venue, the MLC 52 IR and

MLC 52 RS MediaLink Controllers always provide a consistent control

method from room to room. Presenters with little or no training can

walk into any MediaLink equipped classroom and operate the A/V

system with minimal effort.

Conﬁgurable Buttons for Flexible Control Options

No programming knowledge is necessary to install MLC 52

controllers. The four lower buttons on the MLC 52 IR and

MLC 52 RS default to Volume Up, Volume Down, Select PC Input, and

Select Video Input. Using the intuitive setup software available on the

Extron Web site (www.extron.com), these buttons can be conﬁgured

to send out any IR or RS-232 command supported by the display,

making it easy to customize the controller to meet the needs of most

single-display A/V 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.

FEATURES

n Universal projector control – The MLC 52 IR and MLC 52 RS have

dedicated ports for communicating with virtually any projector or

display via IR. The MLC 52 RS is also equipped with unidirectional

RS-232 wired serial control capabilities. Projector control drivers

for either controller can be downloaded from the Extron Web site

(www.extron.com) or created using the included conﬁguration

software.

n Projector power control – Discrete ON and OFF backlit buttons

simplify system operations and eliminate the need for a handheld

IR projector remote.

n Conﬁgurable buttons – Can be set up to control display power,

volume, input selection, or any other IR /RS-232 command

supported by the display.

n Backlit, easy to label buttons – can be customized for each

installation and provide easy operation for presenters in low-light

environments.

n Macro and Toggle modes – Each button can be set up to send

out multiple IR or serial commands. A button conﬁgured for

Macro mode will send several commands with a single button

press. A button operating in Toggle mode can be conﬁgured with

up to four individual commands, sending out a different command

each time the button is pressed.
