Extron is already shipping its NBP VC1 D and NBP VC2 D Network Button Panels. These customizable AV system control interfaces are designed for use with Extron control systems and HC 400 Series products. They connect to your control processors via standard Ethernet and provide “convenient volume control within a room.” The NBP VC1 D features a rotary volume control knob that provides smooth, precise volume levels and a dual-color, illuminated soft touch button for muting. The NBP VC2 D provides volume and microphone level controls with six customizable, soft-touch buttons that are backlit for “easy operation in low-light environments.” Both models offer LEDs that provide an at-a-glance level indication of volume levels. The PoE-powered NBP VC1 D and NBP VC2 D mount in single gang junction boxes and include black and white decorator-style wallplates and mud rings.

Network Button Panels work with TouchLink Pro touch panels and HC 400 Series products and share the same IP Link Pro control processor. This is “especially convenient for applications that require simple pushbutton AV control in some locations and sophisticated interactive control in others.”
