Extron has redesigned the MLC 55 RS and MLC 55 RS VC MediaLink controllers/wall plates used for common AV functions such as power, input selection, and volume in single display applications. They feature a new look, with redesigned backlit buttons and magnetically-attached faceplates that hide the mounting screws and configuration ports, giving the controllers a refined, uncluttered appearance. Both models include uni-directional RS232 and IR display control, as well as discrete ON and OFF display power controls. TheMLC 55 RS VC model features a newly-designed, larger volume knob for control of Extron MPA Series and select XTRA Series amplifiers. Flexible mounting options allow the controllers to be installed virtually anywhere, including walls, lecterns, or tables.

Extron’s MLC 55,62,64 Series configuration software provides simple setup via USB when combined with one of many ready-to-use RS232 or IR device drivers available on the Extron website. The configuration program and these two controllers also support IR Learning for creating new IR drivers from the handheld remote of a source or display device.

Here’s the new look.
