The Next Generation of Configurable Control Systems

As AV systems scale in size and complexity, AV control must be designed to efficiently handle these new demands, while remaining uncomplicated to the end-user. At Extron, technology advancements are expanding the types and complexities of AV systems that can be controlled using a configurable approach. Extron has developed new control processors, TouchLink Touchpanels, and configuration software designed to handle larger, advanced system configurations.

The combination of powerful software and standardized device drivers is enabling system integrators to spec a configurable control solution for an increasing number of applications that would previously have required a programmed systems approach. The newest advanced configuration tool from Extron, Global Configurator Professional, was designed specifically to support more complex systems and leverage the skills of an experienced programmer in an advanced configuration environment. In GC Pro, powerful new features, including conditional logic, combine the best of both programming and configuration.

10" TouchLink™ Touchpanels for Larger AV Control Applications

The Extron TLP 1000MV and TLP 1000TV are fully configurable 10" touchpanels featuring a sleek, contemporary look and thin bezels to complement any decor. The larger, 1024x600 resolution touchscreen surface provides ample room for sophisticated controls and graphics.

New, Larger Control Processor Increases Control System Capacity

The Extron IPCP 505 is an IP Link® Control Processor, designed to support larger configurable control systems. The IPCP 505 integrates Ethernet connectivity into AV systems, giving users the ability to remotely control, monitor, and troubleshoot AV equipment, including display devices and switchers.

iPad Apps Enable Wireless Additional Points of Control

TouchLink for iPad and MediaLink for iPad are Apple iPad apps that provide users with wireless additional points of control for installed TouchLink Touchpanels or Extron Ethernet-enabled controllers.

7" TouchLink™ Touchpanels With Contemporary Designs

The TLP 710MV and TLP 710TV are fully configurable, 7" touchpanels featuring contemporary designs that complement the aesthetics of any environment. The Extron TLP 710 Series has an 800x480 resolution touchscreen and incorporates Power over Ethernet and a built-in MTP – Twisted Pair receiver, which accepts either S-video or composite video signals over standard CAT 5 cable.

7" Cable Cubby® TouchLink™ Touchpanel

The Extron TLP 710CV is a configurable 7" Cable Cubby® TouchLink Touchpanel with a contemporary design that combines AV system control with the convenience of an Extron Cable Cubby enclosure. It features a flip-up, full-color, high-resolution touchscreen in an elegant, metal enclosure that can be mounted securely into a tabletop, lectern, or other flat surface.
